Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has been compared to the late Princess Diana by none other than Rosie O’Donnell. The former The View co-host said that being a paparazzi magnet could see the 26-year-old singer meet the same tragic end as the former royal. “There are only inches of separation between vulnerability and disaster,” observes O’Donnell. “Sometimes it really is too much. Internal wires cross. Anxiety hits. Panic sets in the heart. Dread. Fear.” In a post on her blog, Rosie writes: “I’m scared,” she [Britney] told them yesterday, when they later mobbed her at court. “Move back,” she said. “I’m scared. Stop it. Stop it. I want to get back in the car. Just stop it. Let me get in the car, please.” Referring to the pop wreck’s quick visit to a church on Monday, O’Donnell writes: “She will be trying to get away, but they will chase her, just as they chased her into that church yesterday … Even her last-minute, folded-hand prayers can’t be kept sacred.” Painting a sympathetic portrait of Spears, O’Donnell says: “At eight years old, she bravely stood before a microphone. By 17, she had sold 25 million records. Where were the sidewalk-skinned knees, the chalk-stained hands, the monkey bars, the passed notes? A Disney set is not a childhood, no matter how many bright colors they use, or how cheerful the script.”
