She could probably benefit from having a better advocate, but Britney Spears is being defended by Paris Hilton for her partying ways:
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) — Socialite Paris Hilton has come to the defense of the “partying ethics” of her new best friend, Britney Spears, whose all-night clubbing has led to criticism that she is neglecting her two young sons.
Spears, 25, has hit the town — sometimes leaving her underwear at home — since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline last month, a few weeks after giving birth to the couple’s second son.
In an entry on her page on the popular social networking Web site MySpace on Tuesday, hotel heiress Hilton called the attacks on Spears cruel and shameful.
“For people to call out her parenting skills on behalf of her partying ethics is appalling,” Hilton wrote.“Britney loves her kids to death, and I know for a fact that it truly hurts her when she sees these cruel things being written about her. She goes home every night to her babies and partying has not come in the way of her parenting,” Hilton added.
(…)
Hilton said thousands of mothers liked to go out and have a good time, “But, you do not see people out there calling them ‘bad parents.’ She’s young, and if she wants to go out and have some fun, let her.”
Perhaps, but those mothers usually don’t forget their underwear when they leave the house.1
