In a recent interview cpnducted by a UK newspaper, ‘Bay Windows’, Lauper was asked a question about Britney Spears.

The interviewer asked, in brief: “Do you think that celebrities are treated the way Britney Spears and others are these days?

Lauper replied that, “The media attention is a lot more invasive now than when I first became famous in the 80s; the paparazzi are far more aggressive than they were 20 years ago.” She continues to say, “I think they should give [Britney] a break, though. She’s only 20 or whatever. We’d all look ridiculous if the media were paying attention to our every move.”
