I'm surprised I'm actually commenting on this thread, as I pretty much loathe Britney. But, I just read this article:
http://tv.yahoo.com/show/35145/news/...ards__ER:12574

It refers to Britney as "embarrassingly out of shape." Yes, I realize she isn't the same size as she was pre-baby (as others here have said), but I think "embarrassingly out of shape" is a bit extreme. (Of course, I'm a mother of two who'd love to be Britney's size, so I'm not entirely objective.)

Britney: *smh* WTF was that?

Justin: I *heart* you for telling MTV to play more videos. And YEAH that you won four moonmen.

Chris Brown: WOW.

Alicia Keys: WOW!!!!!!!!

Sarah Silverman: who are you and BOO.

MTV: I used to look forward to the VMAs. This year's show was sloppy, the lighting was horrible and I was NOT impressed. Do better next year.

Yeah, she's got balls to be saying the things she did about Brit "accomplishing everything she's ever going to" when she keeps presenting herself as the hot young comedienne and next big thing - never mind that she was on SNL FOURTEEN YEARS AGO. You are in your late 30s hon, get over it.

TMZ said something about her looking like a house.

Yes, she's not what she used to be when she was 18...but Jesus H. Christ, unless you're a size 00, I don't know how you get away with calling her a house...especially since she had TWO kids. I doubt even Nicole Richie would call Brit fat.

I think she looked great, especially for having two kids. I turned the channel when Sarah started talking. I just dont think she's funny.

The Washington Post disagreed.

Britney looks good for having two kids. She does NOT look good enough to wear what she was wearing last night.

I agree that it probably wasn't a good choice for national television...but let's face it...if she were just a "normal" person walking down the beach in a bikini like that, no one would think twice about it, and I doubt "fat" would ever come to mind.

Yeah she definitely looks good, just not good enough to wear that, and on tv, where you automatically look 10 lbs heavier. Good lord.

And NO ONE at MTV is getting fired- this is the first time anyone has talked about an MTV VMA ceremony in YEARS (note: not me, I haven't seen it, just the pics), much less watched and re-watched it, all because of her performance.

I CANNOT stand her!!!! Her show (on comedy central i think...???) is just awful awful awful, i do NOT like her sense of humor at all, i think she's just mean!

ETA: i'm likely to laugh at someone falling down the stairs or sarcastic burn humor, etc, but she's just nasty....

She's got a commerical for her show where she talks about her CHARACTER'S name being Sa-rah Silverman, but in real life she Sar-ah Silverman. (Or something like that, you get the point).

Yeah, I don't get it either. She's annoying.

I tried to watch her show once... just once.

I was amaaazed at how not-funny it all was. I mean, how did the network let her air that?

I thought that her talking about Brit's kids was BEYOND classless.


Brit totally lacked energy, and it wasn't good.. but MTV won't care they got the ratings they wanted from having her perform.
I feel badly it didn't turn out good for her.

LOVEEEED Alicia. ... Chris Brown...and JUSTIN == LOVES ME SOME JT ==

I agree.... she wasn't funny at all.... most of the laughs she got sounded really just to be polite.

I honestly have never heard of her until now.

She's a comedian. It's what she is supposed to do.

........and for the record, Silverman is hilarious. You should watch some of her normal standup.
