It’s not easy being an A-lister; just ask Sandra Bullock. And she’s not the only one who’s having a rough time. Why, some of our most beloved stars (Britney Spears, Tori Spelling and Nicole Richie) seem to be freaking out right in front of us. What’s going on here? Aren’t celebrities supposed to be happy people?

Ms. Spears, Your Prescription is Ready for Pickup

Britney’s recent meltdown in Beverly Hills (she was spotted sobbing in her car with boyfriend/agent Jason Trawick) had a lot to do with her not taking her meds. “It’s the one thing that gets between Britney and Jason,” a source dishes to BettyConfidential. “When Britney goes off her medications for her bipolar disorder, her personality is erratic, and that’s when she fights with Jason, who pushes her to go back to taking the pills. They argue all the time about it. They pretty much get along very well, unless Britney forgets to take her pills. Britney tells friends that she doesn’t want to be in another toxic relationship, but her parents are encouraging her to stay with Jason because he’s good for her and her sons. Britney also wants to go back on the road, and Jason doesn’t think it’s a good idea.”
