Britney Spears has at least one person in her corner these days: Pete Townshend of the Who. The legendary guitarist posted a note on his blog (yes, it is really his - his girlfriend's official page links right to it) with a shout out to Britney.

Says Pete: "Dedicated Man In A Purple Dress to Britney in Long Beach. I said, 'Let's not be too quick to judge'. Roger said 'Britney? Britney who?' Like, Roger! Pullease...... read the paper." Nice to see the old boys still have a sense of humor.

Speaking of Britney, turns out she may be struggling with post-partum depression and not substance abuse as tabloids speculated. Now, that would set the stage for a comeback. After some recovery time she can go on Oprah and shed a few tears talking about it the week before the record comes out and bam...back on top.
