Washington
(ANI):
Some
of
Britney
Spears
old
pals
are
calling
for
fans
to
boycott
the
singer"s
new
album
'Blackout"
–
at
least
until
she
gets
her
life
back
on
track.
The
group,
which
also
includes
a
bodyguard,
backup
dancer
and
makeup
artist
who
have
worked
with
the
singer,
is
asking
fans
through
their
MySpace-based
page
not
to
buy
Britney"s
stuff
till
she
gets
control
of
her
spiralling
life.
"Our
message
is
simple.
Don't
buy
her
stuff
until
she's
better," E!Online
quoted
one
of
them,
as
saying.
"We've
all
hung
out
with
Britney
a
lot.
We've
seen
her
at
her
best
and
at
her
worst.
And
we
aren't
doing
this
to
be
mean.
"We're
doing
this
out
of
concern,
for
herself
and
for
her
boys.
They
need
a
mother
figure
and
right
now,
they
don't
have
that."
The
group
also
accuses
Britney"s
record
label
Jive
of
turning
a
blind
eye
to
her
erratic
behaviour
because
she
continues
to
make
them
money.
"They
can
see
she's
in
pain,
and
they
don't
care,"
says
the
source.
The
new
site
is
asking
fans
to
contact
Jive,
MTV,
her
management
team
and
her
music
publishing
house.
"Let
them
know
you'll
buy
her
album,
but
not
until
she
is
clean
and
sober
and
realizes
the
amazing
life
she
has
created
for
herself..."
they
state
on
their
website.
"Let
them
know
you'll
be
around
to
buy
her
music,
her
merchandise,
when
she
sets
a
better
example
of
how
to
be
a
performer...It
is
every
employer's
job
to
make
sure
their
staff
is
doing
their
job
to
the
best
of
their
abilities.
"They
let
her
act
any
way
she
wants,
as
long
as
her
records
sell.
Every
time
she's
on
a
tabloid
for
embarrassing
herself
or
being
a
bad
mom,
what
do
they
care?
They
don't.
"And
it's
sad
that
people
around
Britney
care
so
little
about
someone
who
makes
them
so
much
money."
