Well the thing is Britney really did the right thing, because she exposed MTV for this. I think if Britney was very smart in her next interview she would Blast MTV and Sarah Silverman, because honestly Britney could crush Sarah Silverman at this point with that whole, "you called my kids a mistake" and expose MTV for letting that behaviour roll. I think Britney is in a good position right now and she should really use it to her advantage.

Awww, the baaaaad woman Sarah Silverman made fun of her? What happenned to "no such thing as bad publicity?"

Live by the pork sword, die by the pork sword. Nobody gives a shit if Tori Amos or PJ Harvey gains ten pounds. Her entire career has been built around her identity as a turn-on, taking full advantage of the sexual paradigms around her. She didn't make this world, but she chose to inhabit it and milk it. It was shallow, narrow and sexist on the way up and will be so on the way down. The only thing that changes is her paycheck.

While I am with Britney about making fun of her kids, cause that was wrong, Britney had no excuse to put on a lackluster show. I mean if I were in that position, I'd use Sarah's words as inspiration to show everyone what time it really is. Unfortunately, a lot of people are not like that and Brit is one of those people. It's sad all the way around.[/quote:364e33c4cc]

R U Serious! I think Sarah Silverman is a BITCH for saying what she did about Brits kids...but Britney had far more to loose than Sarah ever did!

With all the crap Britney's been through over the last couple of years, she could have shut a lot of people up if she was able to pull herself together and prepared and delivered a flawless performance! Britney didn't even come close!

I've heard this and don't doubt it. I believe she is that disturbed. If that's true, she screwed herself. She frankly should've given an awesome performances, kicked Sarah in the face, and then said "I'm going to do another song!".


....That's what Madonna would have done! Circa 1992...

It used to be an Internet joke that people spelled "lose" l-o-o-s-e. But I see it so often now that I wonder if anyone remembers that "lose" and "loose" are two different words.

Not trying to be a spelling cop, just wondering if this is an example of the Internet affecting our lives in ways we never dreamed.

Sarah deserves a Louisiana ass whipping, as far as I'm concerned. And my greatest hope is that Britney gets herself together on a personal level. But your commentary on the industry and Brit's pimp-get pimped cycle is pretty dead-on.

My Spelling...

Now you got me feeling bad for her. Yes, if Britney really believed this was worth getting worked up over, fine, do an interview, explain yourself and blast MTV and Sarah rightfully....and don't fuck it up! Don't miss the interview, don't say "y'all" that often, leave the Cheetos at home, know what I mean?

That being said her next media appearance will not be a real media appearance...it will be her being confronted by paparazzi and cussing them out, and REALLY looking bad. Have to wait and see, though.

I dig Sarah but she can be unfunny) and mean, too. And the fact that she fucks someone like Jimmy Kimmel for media attention....about as tragic as Britney and frankly, something to bring up in the interview (it's her weakness).

VinnyM27 said:

Well maybe just figured it wasnt worth it, because she figured people would talk about the performance and even more so, people are gonna ask her about the performance. Shit if Britney went on OPRAH today and told this whole story about MTV lieing to her and Sarah's jokes about her kids being mistakes, Britney would have new fans that she never had before and OPRAH would probably buy MTV and fire everyone and then go on TV and ruin Sarah Silverman, come on OPRAH has taken people out like that before.

MsMisha319 said:

yes, for a normal person that had 2 kids, she looks good. But yeah, this is Britney and she should have looked her best. She looked better with her rehersal clothes.(jeans, white tank top, and a hat.

I like her new song, but this girl really needs a new management team!!!
I felt bad for her, I really wanted to see her make a comeback.
There is always a next time, she is only 25. Maybe she will watch her peformance and something will "click".

BTW, she made a huge mistake by flashing her "roast beef" right after.....

Rodya24 said:

Because LaToya, Rebbie and all the other Jacksons are such huge forces in the recording industry.

I can't believe Sarah Silverman is getting the blame for Britney's sh*tty performance.

yeah...folks are really delusional for using that as an excuse. same as janet's wardrobe malfunction.

sosgemini said:

Right on SOS!!

sosgemini said:

But what did everyone expect from Britney in reality? Live Singing? I remember back in 2003 when she had her In the Zone ABC special, nothing was live, the lypsynching was off too, and that shit was rehearsed. Also can we stop making this allowance that if you dance you dont have to sing, these thing has been an excuse for over 25 years now and everyone uses it, even people that dont have difficult dance routines.

THIS is out of shape??

bobzilla77 said:

JustErin said:

No. That's photoshopped!

THIS is she looked like.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

The first pic is not photoshopped.

The second pic is a split second of a dance move caught in a photo. Her back is arched and her stomach is pushed out and ya she has a small roll on her back from the arch...wow, big whoop!

That is not out of shape, even skinny mofos can get their stomachs to stick out like that.

Hilarious. He body is still better than 99.9% of north american's bodies.

Her body looks amazing to me.

JustErin said:

Her body looks amazing for us common folk. But to be on stage in front of millions in a bikini top and barely there panties, you better have a flat stomache. It's just the way of the world, what people "pay" to see, what people expect from "entertainers" it's their job. Now, if that was just some girl or Mother of two on the beach, she'd be damn hot.

SexyBeautifulOne said:

That is a candid shown on purpose to support the theory that Brit is "fat"

come on orgers why are we trying to promote unhealthy body images for girls?

PaisleyPark5083 said:

Um...she does have a flat stomach.

She's just not as lean as she was at one time. You can say that about her, you can say that she is not as skinny as some singers/models/actresses but you can not say that she is fat or even out of shape.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

That's not true. I've seen dancers on many tours that look like she does now or with a few more pounds.

when we send out the message that Brit-Brit is fat, people don't make the distinction between Brit as a performer and them as a common person. These girls look at pictures of Britney and then look at pictures of themselves and start starving themselves or throwing up or any of other things because if Britney, who still looks better than the average American is fat, than what are they.

and people like Perez Hilton, who is obese, calling someone who isn't fat who isn't is totally hypocritical and dangerous for young people.

JustErin said:

I agree with Erin! she has a damn good body especially for recently having 2 kids.

JustErin said:

I agree with you...
My problem is I think only a HOE would wear something like this in public..and as a HOE she deserves whatever critisism she gets..I also have a problem with the media for sending the very clear message out there to women that the ideal figure for a woman is something waif like..That sucks BIG TIME ! and its so NOT TRUE !!!

JustErin said:

Exactly, lets face it we have all bought into this image of what female performers have to look like and we cant except anything different. A few years back they "photoshopped" half of Jennifer lopez's Ass off for a movie poster because they felt it wasnt the right image for america to be that "built"

ehuffnsd said:

Fuck all of that.

I'm damn near forty with taut skin and a size 3-5, which (ridiculouly) is considered large by my work environment standards (but fuck them too ). I work with models every day that have pushed out babies in between being shot for any number of editorials and advertisements meant to subliminally seduce us into believing what looks appropriate or not appropriate on people. So the "mommies shouldn't wear such things" argument doesn't wash with me. That being said, what DOES wash with me is the idea that if you know your gut is hanging out over your draws for the whole world to see on national television you should've (or your stylist should've ) had enough sense to know that the outfit wouldn't work. And if it was a good (as in ethical) stylist not soley interested in the noteriety and checks that come with working with a client like spears 1. They should have had a back-up alternative in the same fabric and color (as to not fuck up the light/tech dude), but in a cut MORE FLATTERING to Spears' post birth figure. Then 2. Had she not complied with the suggestion that she move to the alternatively flattering outfit you have to be prepared to WALK OFF SET, period (it's called playing manipulative poker with your client to save your face amongst your fashion industry peers, folks).

The event being what it was, I completely understand why that outfit was initially chosen. It's MTV and she's ONLY 25, for gawd's sakes. Sex sells, keep it skimpy, it's hot as hell under the stage lights, blase, blase. But the outfit, in my view was only inappropriate as it was ill fitting. I lay the blame squarely on the singer for an inability to change, and secondly the stylist for not having a 2nd and 3rd alternative just in case she showed up bloated or WHATEVER. It's a universally understood part of the job description
