The real news of the day
Probably the funniest AP story ever, on Britney Spears' opening number tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards:
"Somewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing.An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards but for all the wrong reasons. Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, "Gimme More," Spears looked bleary and unprepared much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles.
She lazily walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching; and, perhaps most unforgivable given her once taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape.
Even the celebrity-studded audience seemed bewildered. 50 Cent looked at Spears with a confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless.
Some comeback."
Wow. She even lost Fiddy. But not her hair extensions.
UPDATE: Britney may have been super BAD at the VMAs, but her lip-synched song apparently was the rage at WeHo's hotspots over the weekend!
Okay, I just watched the first few mins. of this putrid show because I'd heard (from East Coast) how bad Britney's performance was.
Right from the start - from the close-up of the hair extensions on the back of her head, right through the entire bored stipper act... it was some of the worst TV I've ever seen.
This show looked like it was produced by pre-schoolers with ADD.
But what do I know? I also don't get that people find Justin Timberlake sexy. He's a bald child! In order to bring sexy back he'd have to drag Robert Plant, Jim Morrison or Prince back from their peaks!
Anyway, Britney -
Please give us less and go home to your children.
