"What a Shame, Indeed" Dept

For fifteen pop-culture-expertise points, of what stellar role model was the following quote uttered, and what was the unfortunate lapse that has marred the lady's heretofore stellar record as a person to be held up for emulation by one's daughters?

"She's a beautiful girl and now that she's single and she's having fun, I think she's just trying to express herself," said New York-based celebrity image consultant Amanda Sanders. "Unfortunately, it's the wrong message that's coming across. And the shame is she was really such a role model."
Answer:

Britney Spears. Yes, that role model. And what is her unfortunate lapse in judgment? Why, according to the story, that would be "...unleashing her inner wild child, running around with party girls Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, sporting unflattering hair extensions and flashing her apparently panty-less crotch to the paparazzi."

From later comments in the article one almost has the impression, perhaps unfair, that the gossip columnist is rather more upset about the hair extensions than the exhibitionism. Reminds me of one of my favorite teen-girl-magazine article titles: "Oh No!: When Bad Makeup Happens To Good People."
