[ Please note, I'm posting this as a commentary on our increasingly decadent culture and the either impossible or undesirable goals it sets for our young women. ]
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (AP) -- 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....
She 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....

I agree. Her shape is fine. She’s not a teenager anymore. The media wants women to look anorexic so they can then take even more pictures of them.
It is the Rosie/Whoopi version of ‘comedy’. All insult and vulgarity and no actual wit.
Here is one of her kneeslapping money lines, “Jews do not all look the same. Jews are like snowflakes. ...what? How is that funny? What the hell are you talking about?
She said WOW and Awesome about 20 times each to cover embarrassing dead silence. It was a monumental FLOP!
Boy, isn’t nasty little Sarah catching some flack? She’s so damn pretty to be so foul mouthed, cruel, and insulting. Sorry this is what comedy has devolved to. They’re really burning her ass on her web site! I can’t believe what she gets away with. It requires no subtlety, humor or wit, just the shock value of what she says. Now someone may conceivably come up with an anti-Semetic epitaph to describe her, and what, I wonder should she say about that? Everyone is an open target of her “humor”, with no holds barred. So anybody can say anything about her and she can’t say a thing about it in defense, really. It’s a dangerous minefield ahead for her where her “comedy” is leading.
Well, it was Madonna who set the fashion for wearing underwear as outerwear.

Unlike Aguilera and some of the other chicklets, she doesn't have the pipes. She can get in shape and flash all she wants, but in the end she has to put the notes on the disc.
I think that was it for her. Not only was it not funny, it was painful to watch. It was no fun.
Ha ha. Her website is ‘offline’. Here’s some more:
After watching Britney - “Wow. She is amazing. She is 25-years-old and she’s already accomplished everything she’s going to accomplish in her life. It’s mind blowing.
“She’s so grown up. She’s a mother. It’s crazy. It’s weird to think just a few years ago on this very show she was this sweet innocent little girl in slutty clothes writhing around with a python.
“No, that’s not nice… calling MADONNA a python.”
‘Apologising’ to Paris Hilton - “If you had any idea how much I misused all of my orifices in my early 20s, you would realise it was like the pot calling the kettle whorey.”
Spotting 50 CENT in the crowd - “I think it is so cute that he is still alive… I love that.”
On racism - “I was talking to CEE-LO backstage and I asked him: ‘When you were growing up in Atlanta did you encounter any racism?’
“And he said something really interesting. He said: ‘I’m KANYE WEST.’”
Talking about how Jewish people aren’t all the same -”Like AMY WINEHOUSE, she’s Jewish. There you go - everyone is different.
“She is Jewish right? If she isn’t someone should tell her face.”
“WOW.........WOW..........Awesome!......
Apparently she had planned pauses in her routine for laughter, and when it didn’t happen, she was “wow.....wow....awesomly” stuck...lol
When you’re talking about talent and pipes, Kelly Clarkson makes them all look like warbling rank amateurs.
yes and Underwood
oh good god. she really thinks shes gonna make a comeback and supposedly look sexy after she shaves her head and gets fat as hell?
Watched the video. Wow, that was painful. The silence was actually more telling than if the audience had been booing her. I’ve seen her TV show a couple of times, and it was kind of funny in some respects. She certainly doesn’t try to make herself look better than anybody else, but she does it by dragging everybody else down to her level.
Your description of her little routine as “forced, tense, and vulgar” was perfect. She may end up with some real emotional problems, if she doesn’t have them already. many comedians do.
You know you are in bad, unfunny shape when Sandra Bernhard’s similar shtick is an improvement on yours.
Brit is getting hammered by the press (try perezhhilton.com) It’s painful to hear the comments about her performance. Doesn’t she ever look in the mirror?
Make that “try perezhilton.com” (one “h”)
Her shape would be fine in a blouse and slacks. NOT in a stripper’s outfit, sorry. What a trainwreck.
Her body is going to continue to reel from her constant diet of fast food, cigarettes, booze and drugs, all of which have been evident for some time. Sad, really.
She’s looking matronly. Midway between young and too old to wear two piece bathing suits.
Proof positive that you can take the girl out of the trailer but you can’t take the trailer out of the girl.
