Spotlight on the Star

It is in a way, a sort of crazy spirit that both Bridget from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and Britney Spears both have. It can't be contained and demands a large audience from anyone around them. Bridget went to summer camp to play soccer and show off her star abilities. Everyone was entranced by her beautiful long blond hair and the power that seemed to emanate every time she zoomed on the soccer field or scored a goal. It’s the way that Bridget holds herself and demands power that once she has, seems to cave in on her and break her down. She has painful memories from her past that get her down, but not for long. Mostly, she believes in following her heart and that's probably what got her into trouble when she lost her virginity. Bridget could be, without much debate, Britney Spears' long lost cousin. Britney has a kind of happy-go lucky nature and demands a big spotlight that people gladly let her shine in. She has (obviously) had a lot of up and downs and has been put up on a pedestal and torn down many times over. She has that spirit of a really popular, then not so popular, then a really popular again entertainer. Both women have some deep internal issues but rarely ever let their insecurities show or confide in people about their problems. Bridget does have three best friends that she can tell anything and doesn’t have the paparazzi following her, but in a lot of ways she is like Britney. After she lost the big V she was a mess. Thank goodness she didn’t shave her head.
