Actress Michelle Williams narrating Britney's new book 'The Woman In Me': "I stand with Britney"

[ObsessedBritFan1]

Imagine the transition

I think this is amazing! And I hope it leads to some kind of reconnection considering how close Heath and Brit were. Also, if she says that she doesn’t want to read the parts that are traumatising then why should she be forced to?

Y’all need to stop complaining about being too lazy to read. 

 You tell 'em! 

I like your no-nonsense personality. 

[Lucky☆]

I mean, if that is what she wants ,I’m ok with it.

i think I will just buy the book

[Isla]

I'm sure Michelle will be great at it! 

[femmepop]

So unexpected but such a cool choice.

They both became famous during the teen boom of the late 1990s and there's also the Health Ledger connection.

I’m so thrilled. What a perfect choice, her voice will be so calming and grounded and Britney will be there to introduce us to her body of written work, im so excited for this.

It's about time a mainstream Hollywood figure stepped up to support Britney, not just for her comment, but actually lend her talents to Britney's book.  The court process is bound to be slow as molasses, but there's no reason Lou Taylor shouldn't be washed up already, if her clientele would show some collective backbone and dump her. Even if they're worried about legalities, they should have started the process years ago, when the conservatorship abuse became so public. What about their own sense of self-preservation? There's no way I'd be putting my career and financial future in the hands of someone so beset by rumours of irregularities in business practices.

I just don't get it. Harvey Weinstein was finished years before it got to court, because his hangers-on found it untenable to work with him anymore. More people tried to expose him even a decade before, when they faced huge obstacles. Who spoke up for Britney, ever, among those people who would tweet about the most marginal of complaints, during the height of Me Too and Time's Up? It's so disturbing.

So, good for Michelle. She's a great choice for the audio book, too.

Love it!! I already knew Britney would not do a 10 hour audiobook and I support her decision. 

Me too. Her well being is more important and we're here for that, for Britney.

Good lord all of the victims in this thread, acting as if Britney not narrating an audiobook is the worst thing that has happened to anyone

[warioaddams]

Perfect choice, this will elevate the reléase of the book. A prestigious actress narrating Britney's book, amazing.

[Agyness]

Perfect 

[whenthedogscaneout]

Wow, that’s an impressive choice. I’m not here for audiobooks in general so it doesn’t really matter to me, but I honestly didn’t expect such a big name to narrate the book.

Everything she does is half assed. If she can’t even sit through an audio recording of her book, i question how involved she was in the whole process. We no longer have team con to blame for how cheap and lazy her career is.

Not all authors record audiobooks for their books. It is quite common for books to have different narrators. Get over yourself. You'll still hear her voice in some capacity and I'm grateful to read her words written out, and polished by a ghostwriter. I don't really do audiobooks and prefer print. No shame in that. I can read it how I prefer and those who prefer to listen to audiobooks will get to hear Britney AND an Oscar-nominated actress. I'm planning on reading and listening to it because of this reason. 

We true fans have a lot to be excited about. I'm sorry you're unable to enjoy that. You remind me of the haters during the Blackout era. 

[Mutya]

 

Is this true? Can anyone confirm that?

Name a celebrity memoir in the last few years who didn’t narrate their book.  Paris, Jessica, Pamela, etc all did. I truly could care less about an audio book. I read my books. That doesn’t mean it’s not lazy. Of course they got someone high profile to narrate it if Britney wouldn’t. They invested a lot of money in that book. Britney has the time to post living room videos, but not narrate her first book? Lazy.

You read your books, so it doesn’t matter. If you hate Britney and don’t want to read her book, just admit it. 

[KatieKat]

I could see her playing Britney at some point.

Michelle Williams is an awesome actress and I bet she will do a good job with the book.

If Britney is struggling right now and the thought of reading her book is hard, then there’s no reason she should feel pressured to do it. I mean, there’s no reason something even  *has* to be available as an audiobook. It doesn’t kill people to actually read.

Go to bed, Lou.
