Mental breakdowns are the new black.

Britney has been allegedly classified as "G.D." -- gravely disabled. This means she can't take care of her basic needs. And now Kirsten Dunst allegedly (reportedly, etc.) is headed down the same path.

What's up, ladies?

Ever-clever Jezebel is questioning the way these breakdowns/substance abuse/public crazy patches are being handled by the media (to sum up: Owen, Joaquin, Robert Downey, Jr., get handled with sensitive gloves and little conjecture; women celebs like Britney, Amy Winehouse or Lindsay are the butts of horrible jokes)...

Discuss, please. Is it schadenfreude that makes us meaner to the ladies?
