Britney Spears Is...fat?

I've seen bits of Britney Spears' 2007 MTV VMA performance and found it entertaining. Did she forget the words to her own song? Lawd, that was funny, and I thought the whole point was to laugh. And her dance moves looked like something I do when I'm too fatigued to carry on my aerobic workout. That too was entertaining. Her homage to Elvis Presley was terribly clever. Didn't his performance to Jailhouse Rock start out something like that?

Her weave, however, was just wrong - on so many levels.

But onward to this nonsense that Britney Spears is fat. I know the spelling in the numerous articles and blogs was f-a-t, but was that supposed to be p-h-a-t? Is fat like gay now, not meaning what Webster intended? Cause Brit was so not fat or phat (pretty, hot, and tempting) at the VMAs.

By the way, the term "train wreck" is forever banned in Hollywood.

What is she, like a size 10 or something? I know that 40 is supposed to be the new 20, but is size 10 the new 18? Haters make it sound as though Britney Spears is the white Jennifer Hudson. Geez, can a girl get a break anywhere? And what about this "paunch in place of a once taught belly" business? Some have come to her defense and said that was baby fat - correction, its beer fat. Nonetheless, she still looks way better (physique-wise) than many of her haters.

That's not to say that she should have come out on stage in her little sister's underwear. If you simply refuse to drink light beer, at least wear a shawl on nights that you perform. The navel ring only draws attention to the area you don't want attention drawn to. Britney Spears has enough handlers around her that someone could have told her better.

Where was her Big Mama? She's from the south so I know she's got one. Big Mama should have told her to put a skirt on and a slip underneath and for Pete's sake LEARN THE WORDS TO YOUR SONG baby.

All in all, was this a career killer? Puh-lease. Of course not; don't be so melodramatic. She had a bad night. I've seen footage where performers have actually fallen off of the stage and gotten back up to better performances - figuratively and literally. Even though I am not her biggest fan, Britney Spears deserves a break. It might have been a "lackluster" performance, but it still feeds the media monster that will generate yet more attention and publicity for the great Britney Spears. And we all know there is no such thing as bad publicity. Just ask Kid Rock.
