Exactly why I started this blog in 07 but my pity soon turned to love and affection, especially when I saw how hard she worked at coming back from the brink.. Again, thank you, pepaw.
Newton John was recently quoted saying
NEWTON-JOHN PITIES SPEARSOLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN is grateful she found fame in the 1970s – because she doubts she could handle the amount of attention BRITNEY SPEARS receives now.
The 61 year old was propelled to stardom after her turn in 1978 movie Grease and graced the covers of magazines worldwide.
Newton-John refused to take her pin-up status seriously at the time, and claims the decision kept her grounded.
But the actress feels sorry for Spears, who found fame as a teenager in the late 1990s – because the amount of press coverage sexy stars receive nowadays is unprecedented.
She tells Britain’s Attitude magazine, “The poor girl. She has lived in a time where the paparazzi reign and we didn’t have that problem at all. We’d have occasional intrusion, you know I had a few incidents, but it was nothing like it is now.
“I don’t think you realise it (early fame) until you look back because it doesn’t really feel like reality in the time. I never really took it too seriously, which is healthy.”
Agree!
come on she only did Grease haha :P
Actually, she was the most powerful female popstar of the late 70’s/early 80’s. She was unstoppable with hits like Magic, Xanadu, Landslide, Physical or Make A Move On Me ! ^^
One of my favourite popstar ever along Janet and Britney.
@JJ that really cool! Maybe will be Britney be like the next Olivia Newton, she seems happy!
Personally I think it’s better than Britney being the next Vadge…in all seriousness.
@ribbon noo its not cool hahahah she had cancer!!!
CANCER :O
Well I still don’t want her to be anything like Madonna…seriously!
AGREED HAHAHA :)
Yes, Britney is not the new Madonna (thank God)… GaGa is ! And it’s not meant as a compliment ! ^^
Britney is WAIT FOR IT… The new Britney !
Olivia is a sweet down to earth australian woman who has played on her sexy persona to smash the charts in the 70’s (first as a country singer) and in the early 80’s (“Lets get physical, physical, let me hear your body talk ^^).
Does it reminds you of someone ?
I agree BRITNEY is BRITNEY…people try to imitate HER.
:)
If you go to Britney’s wikipedia page and go to the “Legacy” section they already put a list of artists that Britney has influenced and she’s only been around 10 years!
Amazing.
Sorry to spam this section but I’m on a Olivia rush (I also have Britney rush sometimes! ^^).
Anyway, here’s the gayest clip ever. Vadge & Haga could never do it ! ^^
