I never really thought she had that much actual talent, but she could put on a good show putting the singing/dancing/showmanship together.

To be really honest - I think I empathize with her. I was a total "wild child" in my 20's - and her behavior is familiar. In fact - had I been a celebrity..... my behavior may have been worse than it was (thank goodness for limited funds...). I sure hope, for her childrens' sake - that she comes back to earth and sobers up. I missed the full exprience of my daughter's baby years because a good percentage of my attention was on partying and getting drunk. I regret that very much.
