The Little Cheeto That Could

Oh, Britney. Britney, Britney, Britney. You just make it so easy sometimes. Did you have to include the bag of Cheetos in your "Look, I'm a good mom!" photo shoot?

Never thinking that I'd be the one to defend Ms. Spears but, we always had cheetos in our house as kids. I don't think that Chester Cheetah is a good reason to call CPS.

I don't get the big deal about her eating cheetos. There is tons of shit I like and eat on a regular bases….crazy, I know.

C'mon guys - and what about the Sunkist and the juice in a beaker? Somewhere a dentist is rubbing his hands together.

It's a bag of cheetos. Not like she has a pack of cigarettes on the table…

That's what I heard to AtA. It wouldn't be the first time she's made fun of herself. If there were cigg's in the pic, people would be pissed, but since it's just cheetos and sunkist, people will laugh.

Yes, cheetos are not the devil, but is it really necessary to give a 1 and 2 year old cheetos and orange soda?

I love the shit out of some cheetos, but does that make it right for little kids?

No. 10 stopthemadness says:

Where's my cheetotini? Wasn't somehag going to ground up some cheetos, sprinkle it in some moonshine, shake it up and add a twist of crystal meth? I'm REALLY thirsty and this sock drawer isn't going to organize and then reorganize itself.

No. 11 kerryberry says:

YoMama-no it probably isn't necessary to give 2 year olds cheetos and orange soda but come on. This is the USA, i'd rather have my kids eating cheetos than whatever the shit is that they are putting in a "happy meal" these days. She probably is putting on a show for the cameras. It's not like the boys are eating only cheetos, there is a sandwich on their plates.

I really feel like now we are just picking any little thing that we can and trying to say how bad a mom she is. She's trying. Her vag isn't out and her hair has grown back. Not to pull a Crocker but can't we just leave her alone for awhile.

No. 12 Lale says:

Poor mess. Her eyes do look super sad, and her kid inherited them. Must be time for a pill. You know what I'm tired of? The damn tan lines. Honey, if you're wearing strapless, put on a bandeau top. We learned that when we were 15 and getting our nice tans for homecoming.

christ, i need a cheetotini too.

Hey, my daughter eats Cheetos and I'm a great mom! Cut her some slack; at least she is trying.

And not to get uber serious, but if you've never suffered from a mental breakdown, it's probably best that you don't judge. As my grandma says, "The cheese can slip off anyone's cracker." You never know when it might be your turn.

I really like that phrase. May I borrow? My cheese slipped off my cracker many years ago.

Can someone just go ahead and make a pitcher of those cheetotinis please. Thank you.

No. 16 vagarious says:

Really though…with all that orange stuff (the soda, carrots, and cheetos) its hard to believe the kids aren't turning orange (and yes, it can happen).

Freely. Grandma would be proud.

Self-deprecation is going the way of the emo. Everyone's been doing it forever and it's tired. Self-glorifying humor is so right now. You heard it here first.

Well if that's the case sar, let me be the first to admit that I think someone forgot to put the cheese on my cracker in the first place!

No. 21 kittenpaw says:

Not shocked to see kids eating Cheetos and drinking Sunkist but this is a photo shoot for a magazine. You'd think you'd try and at least appear more classy for the sake of a f*cking magazine shoot.

I don't think that you have to be classy for OK magazine. People for sure, maybe US weekly, but not OK.

brit isn't exactly known for being classy when she should be. remember her interview with matt lauer or whomever? when she was snapping her gum and refused to let professionals do her make up and consequently looked like a crackwhore?

Mmmm, I'm eating some Cheetos right now… the crunchy kind.

No. 26 vagarious says:

I am sitting here laughing and wondering when People and US Weekly became the mags of class. I still consider them tabloids, when I think class I think Vogue or Harper's Bazaar or W…that kinda thing. Is that just me, am I that old school?

Well I would certainly hope you weren't eating soggy Cheetos because that would just be despicable Ruby!

Looks like she slipped Lil Cooter some Boones Farm apple wine in his soda.

No. 29 kerryberry says:

People and US weekly are the classy mags because we're dealing with Ms. Spears. Vogue, W, and Harper's Bazaar are just out of Brit's league. It's all relative.

Sandwiches, Cheetos, and a pop. Lunch with mom.

She's come a long way in a year. Good for her. Nothing but good wishes for her here.

No. 34 cara says:

I saw this photo on another site and thought the cheeto's and sunkist where photoshopped in. After hearing on the blogs (mainly Dlisted) about her love affair w/cheetos….this is too funny. I do hope she continues to flourish in her relationship with her kids though. No mom should loose her kids, unless severe problems…and we all see way worse w/custody of their kids. Kudos, or shall I say Cheetos' for Brit. And I hope she keeps on getting more time with her children.

If you look closely her son is not drinking Sunkist. That's her can. Look in the lower left hand corner and the middle right edge. Sippy cups folks.

No. 39 Crumb says:

Thank you Sara…I was just about to say that myself. The soda is hers and bother boys have sippy cups. Now who's to say there's no Sunkist in the sippy cups, but let's give her the benefit of the doubt at this point, OK? She's truly trying.

I don't see anything there but rubbish (okay, a few untouched carrots in a quick-serve tray).
Britney is just your typical American.

No. 41 yourmom says:

Whatever, I judged Brit for the Cheetos thing until I had some over 4th of July weekend and those things are so fucking addicting. Addicts need help, not judgement from strangers.

Step away from the Cheetos Britney, it will all be ok. We'll get you started on the Cheetos 12 step program…

1. Admit your powerless over the Cheetos - that your clothes have become covered in florescent orange cheese dust and your children's teeth are quickly becoming the same color.
2. Believe that a power greater than Cheetos can restore your sanity, I recommend fruits and vegetables, but that's just me.
3. Make a decision to turn your life over to the care of unprocessed food - as you know it (baby steps brit)
4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of your fridge
5. Admit to yourself and to others the exact nature of your addiction to Cheetos
6. Become entirely ready to be freed from the cheesy goodness and Chester Cheetah himself
7. Humbly ask Jamie Spears to remove all the Cheetos from your house
8. Make a list of all the persons you've gotten that orange "cheesefood" on and offer to do their dry cleaning
9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when they've already dry cleaned their clothes or if they just threw them out (but you have money so you could buy them new ones)
10. Continue to take a personal inventory and when you eat Cheetos promptly wash your hands and grab a vegetable.
11. Seek power through fresh fruit and meditation to improve your physical contact with unprocessed food - as you understand it, seeking only to cleanse your system and the power to say no to Chester Cheetah
12. Have a snack food awakening as a result of these steps, carry the message to other Cheetos Addicts (including your children) and live your life Cheetos free.

If you need a sponsor, I've gone through the process and understand the difficulty. It was one of the hardest weekends of my life, ridding myself of the cheese, but together we can get you through it. I promise.

Sorry Cooter but when I see Cheez Wiz with her kiddies I can't help but think "Lil Cooter" and envision a trailer with a pink flamigo on a bent wire leg by a broken plastic bird bath…..it's all good
