A longtime reader of Celebrity Smack has a darling 10-year-old son named Christian who absolutely ADORES Britney Spears.
The little cutie has been making collages of Brit since he was about 5-years-old. Santa knows Britney is his idol, and brings him things like Britney tour buses and dolls. (Santa is so sweet!)
Sadly, Christian has a serious heart condition and has been through a lot. The Make-A-Wish foundation met with him earlier this year and asked him what his ultimate wish would be. Of course he answered, meeting Britney.
So the foundation has been trying to make this happen, but eventually Britney’s people told them that she will not be doing ANY wishes – indefinitely. Wow.
So little Christian will be picked up in a limousine in Los Angeles Saturday morning and will get to see all of Hollywood, minus Britney. Meanwhile, Britney is currently in L.A. but will be too busy shopping for useless crap, and doing what superstars do, to meet with a sick child for a few minutes.
Have fun Britney. And Christian, I would suggest taking your limo down to Robertson Blvd. You might just find Britney there doing a whole lot of nothing.

What a sorry piece of shit! it would not hurt her helping them out with a quick meet and greet. Karma has a way of rewarding those kind of people in the long run.
OK, this is going to sound really insensitive, but could you imagine what it would be like if stars said “yes” to every request made of them? Just because someone is famous doesn’t mean they have to put everything in their lives on hold. Yes, in theory, she could take five minutes to meet with her “biggest fan”, but how many “biggest fans” do you think she has? How many of those “biggest fans” have medical issues that would qualify them for the Make-A-Wish program? It’s actually more fair to ALL the kids by saying no to everybody, rather than yes to a few.
I really have to agree with JJ here though it certainly pains me. Its like the one time (and only one I might add) when I agreed with George Dubya, he was given a lot of crap regarding the fact that he didn’t go to the funerals of any of the soldiers who were killed in the middle east and he stated simply that he wa the president and had much to do and that if he attended one funeral then he’d get flack for not attending another so in that case, rather than use most of his time running to funerals for everyone and neglecting everything else he went to none and wasn’t seen as using any sort of favoritism. I hate that man but in that–he was right, its all or nothing–in cases like that and this–you just can’t have a safe middle ground.
JJ, This isn’t just about this child being her biggest fan. This child has had to endure numerous surgeries and hospital stays throughout his life. You really think that it is better for her to say no to all than yes to a few? Are you serious? I think if she only visited with a few that it would be a wonderful thing. I think it is sad that she refuses to meet with any of the Make a Wish kids …indefinitely. Of all the charitable things to do, I think this is one of the best.
I agree with you Spicy……….. gosh people we have to start caring about each other again. Its sad. A few would still be better than none. For the record most of these kids are terminal so if she has to miss Starbucks for 10 or 15 minutes fuck it!
Thanks for your support, Spicy. I highly doubt numerous little 11 year old boys from the make a wish foundation have been beating down her door lately. She’s not exactly the best role model lately anyway. It’s her loss, really. My kid is awesome!
BTW, Lala (above) is Christian’s awesome mommy!
And to correct, he is 11 now, not 10.
Another point I would like to bring up, just because we can’t personally feed every starving child in the world, does it mean we can’t help only a few? Helping a few people is ALWAYS better than helping/supporting none.

She is an AZZHOLE…thought I liked her again but…NAY!
I am so sorry about your son’s troubles, it’s amazing what children can endure and stay positive and even bring much joy to others when they are so sick, most adults would be brought to the knees by half as much as some of what these kids go through to survive. Lala I hope he thrives and gets better soon.
Enjoy your trip out to Los Angeles but I think you may have dodged a Britny bullet, she’s been acting very erratic lately, like shopping and changing clothes 3 times in a few hours and the hair thing again. I have a feeling she’s become unstable and there have been no interviews to speak of on this tour but none in a the last month at all. I don’t think she can do them, plus that quick statement and she was gone at the teen choice awards, something may be up. If she was weird or scary or didn’t show up it would have broken his heart so this way he still has the fantasy of a cool chick. Have a great time and be happy. Best wishes to you and your son Lala.
The definition of charity in America increasingly seems to be “What can we do to shame or goad others to action while we sit back and carp?”
We have no shortage of ideas as to how celebrities should devote their time, efforts, and money!
I think it is sad she can’t take time out of her life to Make a Wish come true for a sick child. It just makes me sick. If it wasn’t for fans like him, she would not be where she is now. It is thoughless and insensitive.
Well, Britney definitely knows how to lose fans.
SPICY…you have a heart of gold for mentioning this! I am an avid fan, long-time reader of your COOLEST site and aunt of Christian. Not only is Christian a Louisianian (LIKE BRITNEY, or however she spells her name), the loyal fan has always loved her even with her all of her foibles (case in point, shaved head in the Valley). One would think that since she has two young men of her own, she should be more cognizant to the influence she has on the young-ins or at least listen to the “powers that be” about which fans she should be taking care of!
CHRISTIAN…have a BON TEMPS in LA and trust me, the man upstairs knew what he was doing when he granted YOUR WISH!!!!
LOVE,
Aunt Donna, Caro, and Paulie
Ok, so the child is not her biggest fan, but like I said before, every star can’t grant every child’s wish. How many other children have to go through many painful proceduries and being away from their families? Are they not worthy of having their dream come true? Do you know that she doesn’t do anything charitable? No, you just assume. And as a parent myself, I really want to know why his parents allow a five year old to watch, listen to or have any idea who this piece of garbage is? Her music is waaaaaaaaaay to sexually expclicit, as are her videos, posters, dolls, toys, hell, anything that has her image/name on it. His parents should have said no the first time he mentioned her name. I guess that’s just how some people are.
JJ, no offense but I dont think you are getting the point that spicy is trying to make. I think she would be less harsh if Britney’s people didnt just say no to everyone, and at least chose a few. Sure, maybe Britney isnt a great role model, but guess, what, there are not many celebrities that are. The bottom line is that this little guy likes her, and really, why would the parents of a dying child try and deny him that? They wouldnt. Role model doesnt mean much when you are not going to make it to the age of 15. Being a kid and being happy means everything. Britney has proven she is selfish, self absorbed, and really trailer trash that forgot where she came from.
No, I get the point, but I think that she’s very wrong. And all the shit that she talks about Britney, which I agree with most of the time, this article comes off hypocritical since she thinks that a five year old should be exposed to this asshole. And once again, this is going to sound harsh, but if your child’s happiness comes at the price of his well being, that’s one of those really hard decisions that you have to make as a parent. I understand a parent wanting to make their child’s last days as happy as possible, but regardless of that, its inappropriate for a five year old to be a fan of hers. The parents should have never let it happened. They did, and I get the point that she could have said yes to him, but once again, how do any of us know that she hasn’t said yes in the past to others? It just seems like she’s getting shit for doning something that actually makes sense, even though it comes off as heartless. I appreciate and consider all of the opinions I read (most of them, anyway) and very rarely leave comments on anything I read on any sites, but I think this just hit me hard, because a five year old’s last wish was to meet Britney and I just think that that’s wrong.
Last coment on the subject, but even if you know that your child doesn’t have long and you want to do everything in the world to make your child’s last moments happy, it’s still your reponsibility to parent your child. And sometimes that means saying no.
Ok JJ, your last 2 comments just spoke volumes. For you to EVEN criticize Lala as a parent is asinine. How dare you! The more you try and explain your point, the more of an ass you look like.
The end.
