Britney Spears the New Miracle Worker

According to many of her superfans, the troubled pop princess is the Jesus. A larger group of fans that have claimed that Britney Spears has saved their lives has formed to create a movement of Spears therapy. The BBC did a documentary of the fans’ dedication and stories of Brit’s life saving powers called “Britney Spears Saved My Life.”

An examination of the Spears obsession took place during the documentary and a doctor took a stab at why people (with a focus on teens) have such a following for her.

Via Newsweek:

“The Beatles, Elvis, Madonna, Zac Efron—each has had the power to make grown women (and men) faint or cry. Teens are particularly susceptible to the power of music, says neurologist Daniel Levitin, because of the way their bodies and brains are changing: a combination of raging hormones.”

He suggests this is why many have claimed that she has saved their life. One girl in particular stated that Britney was her only reason to live and prevented her from suicide. Others thank Spears for getting them through eating disorders, depression and helped them accept their sexuality. Another fan claimed her version of “My Prerogative” helped free him from the clutches of Jahova’s Witnesses.

I should join this movement. Because it was Britney who inspired me to be a celebrity blogger due to the fact that a trip to Starbucks will knock a story about the war in Iraq off the front page. Ho plays my bills. I should send a nice gift basket filled with Red Bull, Easy Mac and fuzzy handcuffs.
