A backstage source tells Us Weekly that after her performance on Sunday, Britney “was also able to see video of herself throughout the auditorium. She flipped out. She came running off the stage, yelling ‘Oh, my God, I looked like a fat pig! I looked like a fat pig!’ She was inconsolable.”
No- I just think she could have worn something that was more flattering than what she did. She’s not fat, but she needs to dress her body to flatter it the way it is now, rather than dress like she has the same figure that she did 4+ years ago…
Well said!!!
If she wouldn’t have shown up to her rehearsals LATE, DRUNK, and WORN-OUT FROM PARTYING THE NIGHT AND MORNING BEFORE, then….
.
SHE MIGHT HAVE NOTICED SHE LOOKED MORE LIKE “BEER GUT BRITNEY” THAN FORMER POP TEEN BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jo MikeG, I think I found the alpha FANTARD, check this out, it’s amazing!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc
Did he say “All you care about is…wieners”? Probably a Freudian slip on his part……
.
At least he recognizes “she’s not well right now”, some fantards won’t, because they can’t see britney as anything other than a flawless pop star. They’re still blaming Sarah Silverman, Cris Angel, MTV, or the heel….and now, anti-depressants. I didn’t watch this tape too closely, but it looks like the guy is a major drama queen, and a major fan, but not quite a fantard. By definition, the fantards defend britney and make excuses for her no matter what. This guy was close to the line once or twice, but as someone who has dealt with the ‘tards from time to time, I’d say he’s just a fan who is way, way out there, and he’s an expressionist (not impressionist, an expressionist).
.
We’re going to be seeing this one for a long time-SNL parodies, movie and TV skits, stand-up comic material, etc, just like the Blair Witch Project spoofs. To the guy who shot it, MILK IT FOR ALL IT”S WORTH. Just don’t go flashing your junk every time you get out of the car…….
Britney has more muscle than fat. She’s a little overweight but not toooooo much. She mostly just looks MANLY, LIKE A DUDE.
But who cares what she looks like. It’s not about that. Britney is just crazy.
GO SEE DR. PHIL, YO!!!!!!!
I’ll agree she’s looking less sexy now than she ever did, but muscle??????? From what?????? Chain smokers don’t exercise much, and she totally blew off Cris Ange…..err, I mean the jacuzzi frat bo……err, I mean her VMA rehearsals. She DOES NOT have muscle tone, she has liposuction, which she’s employed exclusively on her abs, leaving the rest of the body to suffer the unescapable consequences of multiple late-nite fast food runs, giving her a strange “thick” appearance noticed by many. Check out this pic just a few days before her VMA disaster:
.

.
Notice how flabby, fat, and saggy her upper arms are? There’s no way anyone would have those arms with EVEN A HINT of washboard abs. The human body just doesn’t work that way….not by itself! This would also explain why thickney britney has the classic hourglass silhouette when viewed from the front, but when viewed from the side as the VMAs has shown, she’s got an extruding, bouncy beer gut
that would make Larry The Cable Guy Jealous!!!!
.
GIT ‘R DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And by the way, Dr Phil called britney a trainwreck
If you go to Perez’s site and look at the post named “A Song For Britney Spears” you’ll see a pic of her from behind (sorry) and she’s got a big blob of backwards facing lovehandle above her left hand…that’s what I’m talking about, you can’t have love handles on your back and a double chin and washboard abs at the same time. Washboard abs require low body fat, and if you’re thin enough for wash board abs you should be thin everywhere-unless a doctor is involved!
.
The post at PH also includes a very poignant and beautifully performed song by Tori Amos…..SEE BRITNEY, WE LIKE IT WHEN WOMEN SING!!!!!!!!!!! OR THINK!!!!!!!!!!!! OR KEEP THEIR PRIVATE PARTS TO THEMSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very well said Beth. I agree 100%
She was definitely not a fat pig. She just looked cheap in that outfit. She should have been worrying more about her performance than thinking she looked fat! Maybe if she put a bit of that enthusiasm into the performance it woulda been a bit better?
Agreed there.
1) I cannot stand Britney Spears. My home state is Louisiana, and she makes me ashamed to tell people that.
2) That stated, let me also say that NO, she is NOT a fat pig (as much as it pains me to admit that). I can only WISH that I had her figure. It pisses me off that the media focuses on pin-thin figures which encourage anorexia and negative body-images in young women.
3) That state, there is no way in HELL that any sane person would have worn this outfit before the entire freaking world and pranced or zombied or whatever it was that she did on stage. It was horrible! She is a grown woman, a mother of two babies, it was indecent to do this (and I am NOT a prude!!!) and it was not flattering to her curves. She is too old for this shit.
4) What she DOES need is to disappear off the scene for a while, maybe a LONG while, and get some competent psychiatric help. Live her life with her children and family away from the cameras that she so desperately courts. She deliberately incites this attention. That is part of her dysfunction.
5) She needs to live off the money that she has, or find another career, because she has not talent or abilities in singing, she was a manufactured celebrity from the get-go.
I think the outfit was a big fuck you to the people criticizing her. In Britney’s mind (before she took stage anyway) she probably thought she would blow everybody’s mind and everybody would be falling all over themselves and screaming that “Hot Britney has returned from the depths of hell!” or something along those lines. Maybe she saw some of the expressions on some of the audience members faces and realized her master plan backfired. She can be a pretty girl. She can. She just needs to put on some damn clothes and try harder. A person is of course gonna look like shit if they just roll out of bed, pick up the first item they pick up off the floor, put it on, and leave the house.
“….and everybody would be falling all over themselves and screaming that “Hot Britney has returned….”
.
No, they were thinking “Who the hell put Jason ‘Gummi Bear’ Davis in a bikini?”
.
“…Maybe she saw some of the expressions on some of the audience members faces and realized her master plan backfired…”
.
You can actually see this! She first recognizes trouble after being helped up to the top level of the stage just after the song begins. She has a few mixed moments of effort and despair, but well before the song is over, she just gives up, period.
.
Besides, it wasn’t the faces of the audience that she noticed, it was the back of their heads: “DEAR GOD RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!! BRITNEY’S SUPER SKANK VAPOR IS GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!!!! IT JUST MELTED A STRIPPER POLE!!!!!!!!!”
.
“…She can be a pretty girl….”
.
Only, and I mean ONLY in the most superficial sense-her physical appearance, AND SHE’S EVEN LET THAT GET WAY PAST HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST LIKE HER WAIST LINE!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK GOD FOR 3 YEAR OLD PHOTOS OR SHE WOULDN’T HAVE A CAREER AT ALL!!!! (ring…ring) Hello, is this the britney residence? Is the britney from 3 years ago there? No? Well, do you have Prince Albert in a can? No, britney, I didn’t want to know what you currently have IN YOUR CAN…..NO, I DON’T WANT TO SEE IT EITHER….NO…NO…NO! DAMNIT BRITNEY DON’T….AAAAAAAWWWWWWW DAMN!!!!! THAT IS FREAKIN’ NASTY!!!!!!!
.
“…She just needs to put on some damn clothes and try harder…”
.
That’s too much of an effort for her now, ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS PARTY.
.
“…A person is of course gonna look like shit if they just roll out of bed, pick up the first item they pick up off the floor, put it on, and leave the house….”
.
Does that mean she’ll be wearing a dildo hat soon? Naaah, it’ll probably be a greasy wrapper from Taco Bell hat….with freak-boots and short-shorts to match.
Eat like a pig and guess what?
.
When your only form of exercise is dance rehearsals you show up 3 hours late for and don’t apply yourself once you get there, how are going to lose weight?
.
When you get your energy from Giant Starbucks Frappacinos and Red Bull, and God knows what else, and you stay up until dawn every damn night sucking on lollipops, and don’t give your body time to rest, thereby requiring even more sugar-laced energy boosters the next day, guess what?
.
When you have fantards who don’t see reality and refuse to tell you the truth about your weight, guess what? And when you reject and isolate anyone who has tried to help you, guess what?
.
When the idea of your fame and importance over-rides your own eyesight and common sense, guess what?
“When the idea of your fame and importance over-rides your own eyesight and common sense, guess what?”
EXACTLY!
And it’s not just about the looks. It’s Britney’s behavior. Britney probably doesn’t think she needs help.
Gimme gimme more, gimme more….PANCAKES!!!!!!!!!
Gimme gimme more, gimme more….BURRITOS!!!!!!!!!
Gimme gimme more, gimme more….MARLBOROS!!!!!!!!
Gimme gimme more, gimme more….BACON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gimme gimme more, gimme more….MOJITOS!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe not a FAT PIG….but not attractive none the less! Had she worn something that covered, it wouldn’t have been as obvious as it was…
Oh well…
Well, if she would pull her self absorbed head out of her ass and take some advice from professionals - both career wise and medically, she might have saved herself, yet another, low moment in the public eye.
i would still fuck her
britney: ” I SAID NO CAKE FOR MY BABIES BIRTHDAYS!!!!! NO CAKE DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!! IF I CAN’T HAVE CAKE ANYMORE THEN THEY CAN’T EITHER!!!!! I DON’T CARE OF THEY’RE INNOCENT KIDS, I’M BRITNEY, AND I’M THEY’RE MOTHER, WHICH COMPLETELY OUTRULES DECENCY AND LOGIC WHEN MY FANTARDS ARE CONCERNED, AND WHO, BY THE WAY, I CARE LESS ABOUT THAN MY BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYYONE AND EVERYTHING ONLY EXISTS IN THIS WORLD TO BE USED AS AN EXCUSE FOR MY WRETCHED BEHAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN I’M DONE IGNORING, STARVING, OR PUTTING MY TWO BABIES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THEN I LAUGH AT MY FANTARDS BECAUSE THEY’RE SUCH FREAKIN’ IDIOTS AND YET THEY CONTINUE TO BUY MY POOP-ON-A-STICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SURE, I’LL GIVE MY TWO BABIES ALL THE STARBUCKS AND NICOTENE THEIR LITTLE DIAPERS CAN HANDLE, BUT ALL MY FANTARDS WILL EVER GET FROM ME IS MY POOP-ON-A-STICK BECAUSE THATS ALL THEY’RE GOOD FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW MANY TIMES CAN THEY BLAME SOMEBODY ELSE FOR MY DECISIONS???????!!!!!!!!!! IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just curious- watching the moronic crap going on at the vmas, did anyone wonder where pamela anderson’s kids were? not with their dad, thankfully. and kid rock’s son? they all act like immature clowns as well, partying til all hours and they’re in their forties and rock is in his thirties. i like pam’s work with PETA, but her stupid remarks on “ellen” about paying some mystery poker player with sexual favors and then falling in love and “now i’m engaged again!” make me wonder what her sons must think of her. she always has some guy on the hook- if she’s such a soccer mom, how does she meet all these men? if she’s going to wear a bikini, can’t she find one that isn’t a thong for her nipples? i thought her stupidity and immature behavior last summer during the whole “marry kid rock ninety times” debacle was low, but she can go lower, apparently.
and, let me add- tommy lee, GROW UP. you too, rock. grow up and be examples for your sons and stop worrying about doing porn stars and groupies and getting tattooed and fighting over someone whose claim to fame is implants. tommy apologized to everyone EXCEPT his kids for embarrassing the crap out of them because he gets into high school fights and he’s forty five years old.
Jenn, we were just talking about this in my office yesterday. What about Pam Anderson? That woman is 40, and her boobs are ALWAYS hanging out of her “clothes”! And did you see/hear her new guy may be Rick Solomon, Paris’ sex tape guy? Disgusting. And what do her kids think about her? She brings home strange dudes, and her kids are there the whole time. How would you feel with her as your mom? I know I’d be embarassed if my mom dressed like Pam does. What kid wants all their friends telling them their mom is hot? And what will her kids think when they see her sex tape? At least Brit doesn’t have one of those, right? I am not a Brit fan, but I did just want to point some of these things out. Pam Anderson deserves some attention to on this subject, but will she get it. No, because she is still “a blond bombshell” that for some reason, everyone still loves, even though she has no talent whatsoever. Our society is very hypocritcal, how we bash a 25 year old who is obviously sick mentally, but 40 year old super skank Pam Anderson gets a free ride? Not fair at all imo. And maybe, just maybe, if the public and media weren’t as hard on Ms Spears, she might go away and get better, maybe.
Hurray! Oh, happy day!! Thank you! (Though I would like to say that her skanky ex-husbands deserve the same treatment.) I agree with what you said. It is my opinion that Britney has serious emotional problems and may very well be manic-depressive. She certainly has many of the earmarks of it. If the media would back off, maybe she would not feel so trapped and would get the help she so desperately needs (therapy, medication, working things out with her family). I don’t think she CAN get it together right now. WHY the media gives Pamela Anderson such a free ride is beyond me. Forty years old, has been hanging out in bars and at parties for YEARS, drinking up a storm- recently photographed with her shirt COMPLETELY unbuttoned, on some guy’s lap and drinking champagne at a party. WHERE are her kids, whom she says she has no nanny for and whom she says don’t get to see their idiot father that much since he’s always on tour? They must be hiding under the bed in a hotel room. HOW does she meet all these guys and WHY does she feel the need to make out with them and give them lap dances IN PUBLIC? Having a sex tape stolen is one thing, making out like you’re 16 years old with your newest guy all over the place in public when you have children in elementary school is immature at best, damaging to your children at the worst. At least, I think it’s the worst. Why doesn’t the media come down on her actions? SOMEONE should.
Yeah, the media really need to focus their attention on the other people doing messed up things, while they have teenage children no less. I can’t imagine what her sons think of her. How old are they? They are 10 or 12? And they know what is going on with mom. At least BS’s kids are still young, and hopefully she will learn to be a lady, not a crazy skanky lady. But yeah, Pam needs a spotlight shown on her actions, because I agree, they are the worst actions to take when you have children who are able to realize what is happening with thier mom. I guess it is just our twisted society, how we focus our attention on someone who obviously needs help, but we still ridicule every little thing she does. It’s just not right.
I do feel sorry for Britney- she seems to be in such turmoil. Not that I don’t think she needs her family back with her and help raising the boys, which I hope she gets. But the media loves to torment her for ratings, which is sick. But there are SO MANY crappy parents in Hollywood. Pamela’s sons are, I think eleven and nearly ten. They have to see their mom gyrating all over Kid Rock and sucking face with other guys and dressing like a streetwalker. She seems to think she’s still a teenager, partying it up at the Playboy Mansion, wearing ridiculous clothes, drinking, at parties and just one man after another. Her boys must know what’s going on. And their father seems to think he is still some huge rock star who can do groupies and porn stars and tattoo and pierce himself instead of hang out with them. You rarely see them with those boys.
“…if she’s such a soccer mom, how does she meet all these men…”
.
Easy!
.
1) BREAST IMPLANTS
2) SHE GIVES IT AWAY! HELL I BLINKED YESTERDAY AND SHE GAVE ME A COUPON FOR TWO FREE HUMMERS, AND NOT THE KIND YOU HANG A LICENSE PLATE ON, EITHER!
3) BREAST IMPLANTS
4) YEP, YOU GUESSED IT, BREAST IMPLANTS
.
All joking aside, jenn, you’re confusing the issue. Pam could be the very worst mother in the world, the absolute worst, but does that alone make britney a better mom? If a britney critic cannot empirically measure every aspect of motherhood and publish them for every woman on this planet according to scale, does that make their opinion of the poopster any less valid?
.
I’ve said it before, I can’t be the world’s moral police, but I can be a britney critic. If there is a Pamela Anderson Lee Rock critic out there then step up to the plate and start dishing out the comments! (Lee Rock sounds like a good porn star name, doesn’t it??? DIBS!!!!! LOOKOUT WORLD, HERE COMES LEE ROCK!!!! IN YOUR FACE!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!)
.
“…but she can go lower, apparently….”
.
No doubt about that. I would be willing to bet she’s had her knees shaved off and hooks placed into her ears too.
Of course it doesn’t make Britney a better mother. She’s emotionally disturbed or mentally ill and without meds and therapy, I doubt it will get any better. But it’s kind of the same thing as you saying her ex-husband is the better parent simply by default… But I wasn’t confusing the issue. Since I didn’t see any post on that dumb fight, nor any other comments about Pam Anderson, I just threw it out there to see what would happen. I think half of Hollywood- two thirds, maybe- should be forced to give their kids to Jennifer Garner to raise. I know we can’t be the morality force, but it would be nice to see a few other celebrities taken down for their crappy parenting. Though I appreciate Pam’s work with PETA, I think she should remember to act with some dignity as the mother of preteen sons.
Britney may be many things…but a fat pig she is NOT! She looks healthy, unlike most of the famous girls of today!
shes not fat
She’s not that fat, sure lotsa girls wished they had that kind of body. She should have put in a little more enthusiasm in her performance, then maybe that’ll overshadow her little bump on her tummy.
Either way, she could still savage her flagging career now if she works her butt off, and of course, wear something more flattering.
“…Either way, she could still savage her flagging career now if she works her butt off, and of course, wear something more flattering…”
.
Does anybody think there’s really a chance of that happening? We’ve already seen britney’s post-VMA attempt to salvage her career…”HERE’S MY COOCHIE Y’ALL!”
Honestly, no. It would take a miracle for that to happen and for her to NOT blow the miracle. She’s had so many opportunities, ya know? She’s blown every last one of them. Guys, the VMA performance could’ve been huge. This could’ve been her Ace card right here. But instead of playing it as a high card she took the low route and played it as a low card. And she once again confirmed that she’s now one of America’s biggest jokes. I was listening to the radio the night after the VMAs and the radio station I was listening to commented on her performance before playing Gimme More. The guy basically said that he can’t get the image of how she looked at the awards out of his head. He said that he had been reading stuff on the internet about the performance and it’s just stuck in his head now. He said he’d play the song if you requested it but he had such a questionable tone in his voice. His tone screamed “Yeah, I’ll play the song but who the hell is gonna request it now? Shit, only crazy folks are gonna be calling in and requesting Gimme More. Give me a fucking break.”
“…She’s blown every last one of them….”
.
no…can’t…already made a risque comment with the “Lee Rock” thing…can’t…just…can’t…
.
“…the VMA performance could’ve been huge…”
.
huge….can’t…dear God what was she thinking…must…can’t…just one ‘huge’ joke…just one..
.
“…He said that he had been reading stuff on the internet about the performance and it’s just stuck in his head now….”
.
’stuck in the head’…huge…it’s piling up….can’t hold it any longer…..OH GOD I SAID “CAN’T HOLD IT ANY LONGER”…NOW IT’S HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!!! THE INNUENDO…..BECOMING TOO MUCH…..OVERTAKING US ALL…..OH CRAP THERE’S ANOTHER ONE!!!!!! COLD SHOWER! COLD SHOWER! BASEBALL STATISTICS! DEMOGRAPHICS FROM THE 1980 AMERICAN CENSUS! BRITNEY IN A BLACK BIKINI!!!!
.
Wheew! The last one sure killed the rush!
i doubt that was an attempt to do anything- i think she doesn’t care, runs away when overwhelmed and doesn’t think. i’m afraid her choices come from lack of thought and stupidity rather than, let’s flash the yoni. she’s beyond “whatever”- she’s catatonic with lack of caring.
And her yoni itself has become catatonic. The damn thing is deformed!
Just don’t want to see it anymore. That’s all. Just DON’T WANT TO SEE IT ANYMORE.
No, No, definatly not fat. She looks much better than most female celebrities. She could have chose a better outfit, maybe the outfit MTV had picked out for her.
I think her body looks fine. Far from being a fat pig especially after having two kids. You just cant eat fast food and alchol. That shit will bloat your ass up. She has had the best trainer that money can buy, use your brain Britney and move over for the next best thing.
“…She has had the best trainer that money can buy…”
.
Who??????? And when, three years ago?????????
.
The only thing closest to a trainer she’s been seen with the past several years is her 2007 VMA choreographer, AND THAT WAS AT A NIGHTCLUB AND SHE WAS SUCKING MOJITOS, MARLBOROS, AND A GOD-DAMNED LOLLIPOP THE ENTIRE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love her or hate her, here you have the exact reason why so many young girls are starving themselves and feeling like garbage if they aren’t stick thin. Poor eating habits or not, she isn’t fat. Two babies in one year- her body looks amazing for going through that. She’s pretty and curvy and if she’d worn something more flattering and killed it with her amazing dancing, things would be a lot different right now. But forget it’s Britney for one second- if that was someone else’s head on that body, would you still be saying she was fat? Note that WOMEN are horrified that she said she’s a fat pig whether or not they like her. Note that WOMEN are saying, no, not fat, she looks like a normal person. Break out the Olsens.
“…Break out the Olsens…”
.
I know exactly what you’re talking about-you could break out both of the Olsens, braid them together, and soak them in water, but you still wouldn’t have enough to pick your teeth with. A true woman’s body has curves, or if she’s naturally skinny, at least she looks fit and not like she’s torturing herself seven days a week just to fit into a tiny T-shirt.
.
However, with britney, much of the latest criticism has to do with the expectations that were set….as well as an indication of how far she has fallen, and then there’s the whole “Emperor Wears No Clothes” aspect to it, that despite the incredibly high number of unbelievably selfish and horrid things that britney has done lately, NONE OF HER FANTARDS OR BRITNEY HERSELF REALIZED IT UNTIL SHE GOT FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
Now, rather than debate whether or not she is truly fat, commend yourself Jenn, because it does prove one point: BRITNEY AND HER FANTARDS DON’T CARE HOW SHE ACTS OR WHO SHE TRULY IS-THEY ONLY CARE HOW SHE LOOKS AND THAT HER LOOKS SUPPORT THEIR “IDEA” OF BRITNEY…THE “PERFECT” BRITNEY WHOSE ACTIONS AND CHARACTER ARE JUDGED ONLY ON THE BASIS OF HER LOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SO-CALLED “PERFECT” BRITNEY CAN STARVE HER CHILDREN JUST SO SHE CAN GET HER MAKEUP PROFESSIONALLY DONE, EVEN IF THAT MEANS NOT FEEDING HER TWO INFANT SONS UNTIL AFTER 10:30 PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THESE FANTARDS DEFENDED HER FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mike, you are very clearly not stupid. I wish you wouldn’t turn every single comment into a fantard post. I am a hell of a lot less interested in Britney than you are. CAROLINA captioned this “Is Britney a Fat Pig?” because I assume she wanted to get that particular topic going. It IS a major problem, one that has NOTHING to do with Britney as a person/performer/screwup/whatever. The thread that CAROLINA started was whether or not Britney is truly fat, as she herself seems to think. It has to do with the fact that people such as yourself find her to be fat. If she wasn’t Britney- if she was a person you did not dislike- would you still find her fat? That is the issue. My fourth grade students- girls, NOT boys- often skip lunch because “I’m fat right now”. NINE YEARS OLD. Please forget this picture is of Britney or any other VMA photo you see of her is Britney and MAYBE you won’t see her as “fat, saggy, chunky, rolls of fat everywhere”. YOUR words. You can’t play both sides of the fence. Either Kate Bosworth is what you find to be in shape or not. Clever comments about the Olsens aside, you’re still saying that Britney in her current state is a grossly overweight woman, which is just freaking scary. She may not have killed it at the VMAs, she may be in serious trouble, but she still is not fat. She is not what she was, but she is not fat.
I tried twice, but my reply didn’t post. Trying again… Mike, you are very clearly not stupid. Look at what Carolina captioned this; SHE raised the fat question, I am assuming it’s because she wants to spark debate. I always liked Britney, but beyond thinking she’s truly picked on more than most and there are many much worse than she is getting a free pass… cough, cough *mothers held to a higher standard than fathers* cough, cough… I was just responding to WHAT THIS THREAD SAID, which was about Britney’s weight. I was deeply disappointed by her VMA appearance and believe that unless she can emotionally or mentally get it together, her career will be like a frozen gym membership: it exists in theory, but nothing’s getting worked on. Beyond that, I am horrified and disgusted by comments (including yours) about her weight because, forgetting who she is for FIVE SECONDS, her body is not overweight. She is curvy and sexy, but she cannot party like she used to, so her wardrobe (or lack thereof) needs to change and reflect her changes. Her diet sucks, but she isn’t fat. She looks a hell of a lot better than the Kate Bosworths or the Nicole Richies of this world. She looks like what a normal person can relate to, and if she had put on a performance like she was once capable of and worn something different, no one would be talking about her weight. But that’s what our culture values and so that’s where this has gone. And then we wonder why our eight and nine year olds skip meals and say they’re fat, and why our society has so many women with eating disorders. You can’t play it both ways, taunting the anorexics and insulting women with regular bodies, which is the media’s M.O.
No problem jenn, just keep in mind I LOVE HYPERBOLE! (and pepperoni pizza, sunsets at the beach, and long walks in the park).
.
I don’t think she’s fat, but I will use it to illustrate that people’s image of britney, and perhaps britney’s own self-image doesn’t match reality. When I say she’s fat, I’m not saying she’s “fat” fat, I’m saying she’s not the “I’m so cute I don’t know how to stop being sexy” teen she once was. But that’s the image she is still pushing today, even to the point of using outdated photos.
.
Let’s face it, looking like she did takes a heck of a lot of work. She kept it up for years. If she’s tired and doesn’t want to do it anymore that’s perfectly fine, but she shouldn’t squeeze into a bikini or go commando and shove it in our faces like it’s the greatest thing since the wheel.
.
Society’s version of beauty changes slowly over time, but it does change, and it is somewhat arbitrary. There was a time when women with pasty white porcelain skin and an ample supply of body fat was considered attractive. Now it’s quite the opposite, and who knows what it’ll be in the next hundred years. But human nature being what it is, there will always be many around who base their self-worth on what society wants them to be rather than any intrinsic characteristics they have or may be capable of. Some figure it out, some never do and becomes prisoners to it. Some may even base their self worth simply on a celebrity’s appearance, which seems to have happened with britamundo’s loyal followers. Some guys even do this to some degree with the win/loss record of their favorite sports teams. Overall, we’re stuck with it. I just have my way of calling people out on it and you have yours, and btw the way jenn, it’s much more fun agreeing with you than not! It’s just that we seem to approach the same idea from completely different angles.
.
Now, what’s that nasty skank Pam up to??????
…will not laugh at this post…will not laugh at this post… alright, I give up.
The problem is that most people are not going to get your sarcastic sense of humor. I don’t even always understand that you’re not being serious. Most people reading your posts are just going to say, another guy who knows Britney’s a fat slob. Society at large is hypocritical, sneering at people who either can’t control their weight or people who hypercontrol it. Meanness seems to be what drives us, and some pathetic need to feel superior or self righteous. I try hard to see things through more compassionate eyes, but it doesn’t mean I’ve lost my sight. I feel sorry for Britney because she seems lost and tragic, but for what it’s worth, I feel worse for her sons because they were on the wrong line in the parenting department, and I mean that for both those idiots. Britney to me is like the golden calf, beautiful and admired and hollow and easily destroyed. I go between feeling sympathetic for her and wanting to dump her in the middle of Darfur to see real suffering. At the very least, I want her to wear some damn underwear. And while it’s fun to agree, it’s also fun to debate with someone who can actually hold his own and on (RARE) occasion shut me up. I always respect you in the end, you know.
As for Pam, I would insult Rock/Lee just as much. They’re parents as well, and in their thirties and forties. Time to stop cramming the other person into his locker. Time to be a role model for their collective kids. That’s another problem in this society- adults trying to be teenagers for the rest of their lives. Pamela, get out of the hot tubs (plural), put the champagne down, buy a nice tank suit, get off the flavor of the day’s lap and GO HOME TO YOUR CHILDREN. The ones without a nanny.
Hopefully that’s all she’s up to. Will let you know as long as my hard drive stays alive.
fuck you Ruben. I used to be a fan of your online sites. This shit is getting old. You left Britney long ago so leave her alone now.
What is the matter with you people. She is NOT fat. Just because you can’t count every rib on her or see every bone on her body, does not make her fat. She looks a lot better than a lot of what comes out of the entertainment industry.
No. Britney is not a fat pig. I have wide-screen TV. She looks more like an Amazon.
Britney looked great! And, I don’t believe she said that either. Such bullshit. This blog is tabloid trash!
No, she’s not. But you are.
oh, THAT was mature!!!
Ive said it before, her body looks good after she has put it through hell. The alcohol, caffine, dugs, smoking, and many many many more… She should have wore something more flattering that is for sure. Then she would have saved herself that part of the embarrassment at least. But there was so much more to be embarrassed about, it just goes to show how self-absorbed she is.
thank god someone else said that. i don’t get how the media makes fun of anorexic women (because, you know, that’s exactly how to get them out of their rut) but attacks a regular person for being “heavy”. mardou gets stupid comments all the time for being a “chubby” baby and one or two idiots (WOMEN, for god’s sake) asked if i was concerned that “she’s so pretty but might have a weight problem when she’s older”. WHAT? “you do realize she’s barely nine months old,” i snarled at one person. is this what it’s come to?? my eighteen pound, nine month old child is too chubby? are we actually judging babies on their weight now? sure, after trying to pay the rent and not have her and alaia in day care twelve hours a day, my number one concern is that she might struggle with her weight as an adult.
The reasons you give for Britney’s body not looking great are grossly over exaggerated. Ok alcohol may have had an affect, caffeine? Mabye yeah. Drugs? No evidence, i do not believe for one second she takes drugs illegaly, mabye prescription like most of america. Smoking, deffinately, but loads smoke and most that do smoke look thin. You failed to mention giving birth to two babies within 2 or so years. Most of the weight she gained during her pregnancies, especially with sean. There is not many many more” reasons as to why she is not as hot as she was. She’s not in a healthy place right now physically. Emotionaly she can’t be, i have a hard time if i get criticised at college by more than one person for something. I’d hate to feel the same emotion millions of times more concentrated.
Oh and no, she isnt a fat pig.
She is a little overweight? Are you fucking kidding me? Where do you see the “weight”? Is much more thinner than some persons I know. Geezzz….
Is it me, or does MikeG post TOO much?
not nearly enough for me, I’m always LMAO…
Agreed 100%, Andy
He posts too much about Britney. He is quick-witted and it would be great to see him on other threads as well, but he tends to stay on the Britney ones. I wish this blog wouldn’t be so Britney-centric, either. It would be interesting to see other posts and more opinions on other celebrities.
I do post on other things from time to time, there just isn’t as much around that is absurd as britney and her actions.
.
I’ve always said I’ll move on when brit brit learns to wear underwear and her actions show that she’s decided to put the health & well-being of her children before her career, but honestly, I don’t think it will ever happen. In fact, she just keeps getting worse-we could add learning to drive a car without hitting parked vehicles or getting pulled over by the cops, or how to properly care for a dog, or how screen and hire the appropriate nanny for your children and not just to have them as a best friend for hire to the list.
.
There will be a time when I move on anyway, probably sooner than later. Just enjoy the ride while it lasts (and be on the look out for a new male porn star, Lee Rock!….it’s from a previous post)
Mike! You read other posts!
Britney doesn’t put her career above anything. She has no interest in it or she’d put the effort she used to into it. She has little interest beyond nails, shopping, hairdos, shopping, etc. It’s hard to respect that. She is trying to fill some giant hole (sigh, go ahead and make the joke) that she doesn’t realize isn’t going to be filled without some modicum of self respect and self awareness. I feel for her because she is like a damaged child.
So you’re like Thelma and Louise, riding that car until it flies off the cliff. Got it. Or is it more the Martin Sheen character in “Badlands”?
She is not fat in any way. Maybe needs a little more tone, like me, but she is NOT FAT. Period. I think it is awful that everyone is saying that. She may not be the same size 2 she was in the early 2000’s, but she is not fat. I made a comment a few days ago along those lines of her bing fat, and then I realized I was being very mean, and judgemental, and it is not fair. She has a bigger stomach then she did years ago, but who doesn’t? I know after I turned 25, you notice that your metabolism doesn’t work as fast, and you have to work harder to keep weight off. I really hope Britney lives through the next few months, becase girl may have an breakdown, and that I do not wish on anyone. It just seems she keeps sliding farther and farther down, and for that, I kinda feel for her. I know she brought all of this one herself, she is to blame, but my heart still feels for her. I’m not a Britney fan, but we need to cut her some slack. Maybe if we stopped talking about her, she would take the break she so desperately needs.
That was very cool of you. I am not saying she is a good mother or that she isn’t making mistake after mistake. But to be so picked apart isn’t going to help at all. She needs some validation. Have you tried screaming at an alcoholic, “STOP DRINKING, YOU DUMB LOSER!!!” I can promise you it won’t work. She’s sick, emotionally drained, and she needs some good people around her and to get well… But how can anyone call her fat? HOW?
“…Have you tried screaming at an alcoholic, “STOP DRINKING, YOU DUMB LOSER!!!…”

I do, every time I:
1) look in the mirror
2) go to a family reunion
3) see britney on the TV
4) go to Washington DC on a business trip
Poor Mike, I feel like I’ve kind of let you down since I revealed that I’m not a fantard. I know you liked going after my softhearted arguments.
Try NYC. There are at least two million places in which you can sit and scream and alcoholics. My front window is one.
Wow, so you DO turn that high powered perception on yourself.
I don’t think Britney is fat at all. Like some women, she insists on squeezing into outfits that either do not fit or accentuate the negative. Aside from that I’m stunned that there are people out there who think she should look or will look like she did during her hey day. This woman has had two children (in case they have forgotten). Even if she stops drinking, works out like a maniac and scarfs down protein shakes, she’ll never look like she did before.
No she did not look fat, She boomed, but she is not fat
People keep throwing her kids into the “she’s not sexy anymore” equation. Okay, while i understand that she has had kids and with myself being 9 months pregnant, I KNOW how fat it makes you…but she had them kids a year ago and she has had plenty of time to get into shape if she really wanted to. If she really wanted to, I just wanted to say that again. Meanwhile, myself being in the air force, I have only 6 months to get into the shape I was in before I got pregnant to pass a PT test. Trust me, you CANNOT fail a PT test in the military…it is BAD! I have half the time she has had to get my old pre-baby body back. Also, just look at all the other hollywood moms who have had kids less than a year ago and they don’t look like crap. I am just saying that there are way more factors to take in, for her not being in good shape. Remember the fact that I have never said Britney looked fat either. Look at the whole point here. Dancers get criticized for not being in shape. I am talking dancers everywhere, whether you are a cheerleader in High School or a pro football cheerleader or what have you. The simple fact is that because Britney is not “FAT”, she could have disguised her body by wearing something that covered her tummy. It would not have been hard to hide her tummy because it wasn’t fat, it was just not in shape.
I thought Britney looked pretty damn good, but as someone who birthed two kids, I can promise you it isn’t as easy as you wish it would be to get your body back. And she had hers barely a year apart. I had Mardou nine months ago and am just finally getting back to where I was. And I have little time to go to the gym, which was always a priority for me. Our neighbor, a ballerina, says that Britney has always been a phenomenal dancer, and this is coming from a professional, so my guess is that you’re right about her being judged on that. Pretty much everyone thought she’d bring the house down at the awards and were shocked when she didn’t. It was shocking to realize that the girl who used to own the stage didn’t belong there at all. At any rate, when you’ve been in possession of a body that had no flaws, like hers, it’s hard to have any flaw at all because people are looking at you through a microscope. She still has a very good body; it’s just not perfect anymore. Babies are like renters in your apartment that leave you with messy rooms, no food in the fridge, overturned furniture and messy everything… but somehow you’re glad they lived with you anyway.
