Britney's VMAs 'performance'

I should have known that Britney Spears' big Video Music Awards performance would have been uncomfortable to watch the moment it opened, with that closeup of the weave tracks in the back of her head (seriously, MTV camera folks, didja think that was a flattering angle?). But I wasn't quite prepared for the awkward mess in store, as Britney gallumphed around like a zombie while lip-synching to her new single, "Gimme More."
I was really rooting for Britney to be awesome and get the show off on the right foot. And by all rights, she should have rocked — "Gimme More" has been received amazingly well (it's no "Toxic," but admit it, it's better than you expected) — and we have all those fond memories of Brit Brit from VMAs past (with the python, with Madonna and Xtina). But instead of watching a sexy, exciting performance — a resounding statement that yes, she IS Britney, bitch — I saw a tentative, confused-looking girl who could barely muster the energy to mouth along with the backing track, let alone work those stilleto boots. Britney, if you're gonna lip-synch, at least be entertaining!
PopWatchers, am I being too harsh?
UPDATE: If you haven't seen Britney's performance, you can watch it after the jump, via this clip from AOL Music. (If you watch the clip on the AOL Music page, it's preceded by an anti-drug PSA. Think AOL is trying to send a message?)

Well I have to say... I like her new song "Gimme More" But I also like almost all of her music *shrug*

I'll still listen and buy it and I don't care if she is a slutty coke using whore =) I just like the music, the people behind it are of no real consequence to me.

She has nearly stopped entertaining me. This weekend she stops traffic at 12 am to take a picture of a graffiti wall, pitches a fit at the paps and then hops in one of the paps cars and drives off leaving her Mercedes. Then comes back because she broke her camera and gets in to her car and is driven away by said pap.

Her lawyer dumped her because she no showed a court hearing again - at least that's what TMZ is reporting. x17online is complaining about how her lawyer isn't standing by her side. I'm amazed at how far up her ass x17 is.

Wow...I didn't think she had it in her to go to this level of crazy.
ROzbeans 18 years ago
Wow she has lost her mind. I hope she gets the help that she needs before she hurts herself =/

Looks like she did earn herself a 72 hour mental hold.

I heard about her melt down. Britts behavior has been so bizarre, I have been wondering if she has an undiagnosed mental disease like bi polar or schizophrenia. The New York Daily News today ran the headline Brit to be Tied - Pop star princess in psych ward.


Now I read that Dr. Phil sprung her from the hospita.

Britney Spears was sprung from a Los Angeles psych ward Saturday after a surprise intervention by celebrity shrink Dr. Phil - who hopes to talk to the deranged diva in a ratings-busting sitdown this week.
The pop star-turned-psych patient left Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after a morning meeting with Dr. Phil McGraw, who sources say was hurriedly summoned to the hospital by Spears' desperate relatives.
The platinum-selling singer had been wheeled into the hospital's psych ward and placed on suicide watch a day earlier after a meltdown at her home. She arrived wide-eyed and strapped to a gurney as a "special needs" patient.

Life & Style
has a pretty hilarious article of Brit Brit's visit to a Betsey Johnson store with Adnan this past Sunday in Sherman Oaks, CA. Witnesses claim Brit grabbed a bunch of things to try on, went into the dressing and came out completely naked.
A salesgirl said, "I was blown away. Britney's private parts were right in front of me!" Blown away? I would've probably blown up. Then after I finished picking up my body parts and eyeballs from the ground I would've grabbed my camera and began snapping away. Dollar signs! Dog Fancy needs a sexy centerfold this month.
The salesgirl went on to say, "I grabbed a dress to cover her and she screamed, 'Get away from me! Don't you fucking come near me! Then she disappeared in the dressing room with Adnan for 45 minutes. They were making weird noises. It was disgusting."
"I couldn't understand a word she was saying. She was slurring and spitting, and talking with a British accent. Her face was covered with cold sores and acne, and her scalp was patchy. I wanted to help her, but she was so mean that I left her alone. Then she muttered, 'Fuck you!' and left the store."
Britney seriously has an amazing life. Oh how I just want to be able to walk into a store, strip naked, fuck my boyfriend then tell the salespeople to "fuck off!" as I stroll out. That would be pretty killer. I'm going to try that this weekend. Make sure you stand by the phone, because I will be calling one of you after I'm totally arrested.
Oh and don't ever change in the Betsey Johnson dressing room in Sherman Oaks unless you want some ungodly diseases or a stale Cheeto. I bet you Cheetos just fall out of her cooze as she walks.

There's pictures/videos of her buying a pregnancy test. I'm scared.
ROzbeans 18 years ago
x17online has pictures that say she's not pregnant. It's her last night coming out of Kitson - a crotch shot of her bloody coochie. I am not even joking, they are gross.

Great picture though, worth the load.

Well now she will be given help whether she wants it or not. But unless she decides to continue treatment afterward this probably won't do any good. Everyone is saying she is severely bi-polar. I know that that could lead to a lot of odd behavior. I dunno maybe being mentally ill is part of it but I also think she's a selfish brat on top of that. My mom is bi-polar and she would go off her meds have an episode then go back on them all throughout my growing up. I very clearly remember us flushing her meds down the toilet and watching them dissolve and turn the water orange.


Oh well I don't feel as badly for her as I do for her kids who have witnessed all of this. It's a really confusing way to grow up. Luckily for them they are still young enough that this might all be forgotten if she would get help and understand her illness and how to treat it. Being mentally ill sucks but there is help out there if you take it and know that it's something no amount of pills can cure.
