It's always interesting when celebrities weigh-in on the rise, fall and comebacks of other celebrities. Madonna, in her infinite wisdom, has starting chiming in about the struggles of one Ms. Brit Brit Spears. You may remember the infamous MTV Music Awards show performance where the two swapped spit. That was probably the last we saw of the two pop-powerhouses together, until now.

MTV aired Britney's documentary, "Britney: For the Record" on Sunday night and Queen Madge appeared to give this quote, "There's a certain fragility about her and vulnerability about her that makes me feel maternal towards her," "There are aspects about her that I recognize in myself when I first started out in my career. I also admire her talent as an artist."

All of that is fine and dandy and I truly believe Madonna sees a bit of herself in Britney. After all - they both are entertainers whose dancing abilities far outweigh their vocal abilities. They've both had high-profile romances and break-ups and they've both had bizarre fake British accents. Cool. But if Madonna is feeling so maternal towards Britney, where was she during the meltdown? There was a while there when it seemed like the two had formed a friendship. Madonna would even take a few seconds out of singing her own praises to talk to the press about how wonderful Britney is. Then came the late-night random wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander, the marriage to K-Fed, the head-shaving and all of a sudden, Madonna was nowhere to be found and didn't even issue a comment. Of course, now Brit is seemingly less insane in the membrane and now Madonna is ready to be linked to the pop tart again. Nicely played Madonna. Nicely played.
