Britney's Fascinatingly Disturbing Record

So let's talk about Britney: For the Record, shall we? We'll admit that we were counting the hours until it debuted last night on MTV (no life alert!), and it did not disappoint. The entire hour and 10 minutes was captivating, but not in a good way — poor Brit tugged at our heartstrings during most of the show, especially when she broke down in tears and later when she explained her former crazy ways:

I just remember I did not want to be at home because, like, my babies represented home. That was my home, with them. And every time I went home, it was like, 'Oh God, I can't be here.' So when I was in my car and when I was driving I was going somewhere.

Other highlights from the documentary included her father, Jamie Spears, singing "Womanizer," a frightening paparazzi scene in NYC and a guest appearance by Madonna, who spouted some Kabbalah nonsense about how a healthy response is to ask what you were thinking. Yeah, we don't get it either.

When all is said and done, it's quite obvious that Britney is not happy with the current state of her life and feels that nobody is listening to her. MTV tried to tie it up with a pretty little ribbon at the end with a quote from a friend about how Brit's desire to perform is back, but we still walked away feeling incredibly disturbed. See what you've done, America?
