Hey guys! I was just over @
MTV.com reading comments from people on the charity auction Britney held recently. These comments (and the story) are very kind and thoughtful, my favorite is highlighted. Enjoy!
Britney Spears: Charitable Icon

Britney Spears is doing a beautiful thing (see
"Britney Spears Shedding Her Clothes Online"). This girl is young, and though the media tries to portray her as selfish, she always does genuinely good things.
If all celebrities helped just a little like Britney does, the world would be so much better for so many. It doesn't take much when you have a society that would pay a thousand dollars for half her sandwich. If that thousand dollars sent one kid to camp, or created one after-school program, that would just be amazing. Good for you, Britney.

It is great that Britney Spears is selling some of her most famous clothes for charity. I don't see too many celebs doing that. Britney again shows how down to earth and giving she still is. She hasn't changed due to her fame. As a fan, I am so proud that she is giving back. People only want to hear negative things about celebrities so that they can feel better about themselves. I am glad that negativity doesn't stop Britney. She has always taken the high road and I am so proud of her efforts to make the world a little better.

How humble of Britney Spears to call her stage costumes "kind of iconic, or whatever." If we bid upon, win and don those clothes that propelled her to superstardom, perhaps we too will be able to auction off our iconic sweatpants and the macaroni necklaces we made for our grandmothers. It really takes a special kind of star to dub herself an icon.

It's great that Britney Spears is auctioning off some of her costumes and other personal stuff for charity. I'm sure the items will bring in a ton of money. In times like these, it's good to see a superstar giving back to the people who made her famous. I've loved Britney from the beginning, and thanks to her kind heart, I love her more now.

What Britney Spears is doing for kids is great. She is helping out, trying to make children's dreams come true. I don't care what anyone else says; I think Britney is a great role model.
