There’s good luck, bad luck, awful luck and then there’s Britney Spears luck – and Britney Spears has probably just edged a new level.
On Sunday Britney Spears got to take her children out of California for the very first time since she lost custody of them. And that’s the exact moment that her two-year-old son Jayden James decided to get hospitalised for an allergic reaction to something he ate. Apparently kids don’t take too well to eating shards of broken Lego bricks wedged between slices of frozen animal piss. Who knew?
Oh, we’re joking – Britney Spears’ son wasn’t hospitalised for anything Britney did, and he’s now been released. In fact, we get the feeling that he only went to hospital because all the men in white coats reminded him of when he used to live with mummy.
There’s just something about Britney Spears, isn’t there? It doesn’t matter what she does, she just can’t quite seem to achieve total across the board happiness. The happiness of Britney Spears’ marriage was ruined when she realised that her husband was a cornrowed redneck waste of skin. The happiness that should have accompanied the freedom of her divorce was shattered when it properly sent her mental.
And now this. Britney Spears might be on the brink of a full-scale professional comeback with her Womanizer song doing so well and her next single Kill The Lights looking set to do the same because it’s basically the exact same song, but that hasn’t stopped something genuinely upsetting from happening in her private life.
Last weekend marked the very first time that Britney Spears was allowed to leave California with her children since she lost custody of them to Kevin Federline earlier this year. It was Britney Spears’ big chance to prove that – after the dangerous driving and the skull fractures and all the rest of the frenzied crap that resulted in Britney Spears losing them in the first place – she could actually be trusted around her children.
And then one of them wound up in hospital. Whoops.
It was reported yesterday that Jayden James, the youngest of Britney’s kids, had a seizure and was rushed to hospital. Luckily, though, that diagnosis has now been downgraded to ‘allergic reaction’, and Jayden James has now been discharged. Newsday reports:
Jayden James, 2, was admitted to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center on Sunday after having “a reaction to something he ingested,” a representative for Spears’ family said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. The hospital is near Spears’ home in Kentwood, La., where she was reportedly staying with family.
Although ‘something he ingested’ sounds worryingly vague, we’re positive that whatever it was had nothing to do with Britney Spears’ state of mind or skills as a parent. We just hope that this ends here – after all, if Jayden James realises that he can get some time away from Kevin Federline and Britney Spears by going to hospital, God knows what he’ll do to get back there next week.
