well, while reading a site about HDTV i saw this picture of Britney Spears and decided, i think she looks better chunky.
(not that shes really chunky...but really, 105lbs is really probably too thin dont we think?)

*sigh* i hate that everyone thinks shes chunky or fat now. that's so disheartening/disturbing.
she did have two children and for that... she looks awesome (minus the weave).
-
she looks like a normal woman now!!! GASP!!

I recorded my thoughts about Brit and the VMAs in a video blog earlier today.

fantastic.

Venerable and I were going to do a running diary but the Angels were on against the Cowboys/Giants and then we had dinner, etc. Truth is I recorded it and haven't even watched it. Maybe there's still time.
On the Brit thing, her looks were by far the best thing about that performance. I think she looks great.

Yeah, I was surprised too that it hadn't come up. Britney's performance really fired up the Velvet Rope -- the thread there is already 35 pages long, and there's been several off-shoot threads.

kayne says MTV exploited brit brit. (http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=275230>1=7702)
NEW YORK -- Kanye West blames MTV for Britney Spears' less than stellar performance at the Video Music Awards.
"Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her," the 29-year-old rapper said Tuesday on Sirius Satellite Radio's "The Morning Mash Up."
The network made a "bad move" by having the troubled pop star open Sunday's event in Las Vegas, said West, who feels he should have kicked off the show with "Stronger," the first single from his new album, "Graduation."
"They exploited her, they played me and I really don't mess with MTV," he said.
Spears, 25, looked unprepared while performing her new song, "Gimme More," to a bewildered audience of her music industry peers. She seemed nervous and, at times, stopped singing altogether...

foos + sod serj doing "holiday in cambodia". fall out boy + rihanna doing "shut up and drive". unfortunately mtv cut out early on these two.

I didn't watch, but checked out the video of her performance after all the hype about how awful/fat she was.
I don't get it... I thought she looked pretty good and the music and dancing seemed on par with all the other crap like that.

As an avid Brit video/DVD watcher, I can tell you that the VMA performance was the least enthusiastic and worst lip sync performance I have ever seen from her. If I had to guess, I would say that she popped a few to many Xanax before that performance. She seemed terribly disinterested.
Brit, it's one to calm your nerves, but 10, well that makes you a zombie...

it amazes me that anyone actually still cares about this stuff. i didn't even know the event happened until people started making threads about the britney train wreck on various messageboards.
the channel has nothing to do with music anymore but they have a video awards show? whatever.
-
I've read reviews saying she's "fat" and pther shit saying "she's too skinny."
She lokos fantastic. She had 2 FUCKING KIDS! She looks fucking amazing.
People are SO god damn stupid.
It was a great performance considering the ridiculous microscope she's under, everybody wants her to succeed, everyone wants to her to do good, but no one does. I'm actually rooting for her, people are just SO fucking into EVERYTHING SHE DOES. God fucking forbid she smokes or cigarette.
It was a greatperformace WITHOUT all the tabloid drama, she looks fucking stellar. Leave Britney alone.
Fuck.
-
there is nothing horrible about the way she looks, but she should have thought twice about performing in a bikini top and little boy-shorts. there are many reasons why the average person doesn't wear that outfit to the mall, one of them is that you need a certain body for it (let alone because of the scene it would create)
it's not as if she's actually talented - she has always been a marketing plot centered around sex appeal. take away the drop-dead sexiness (replace with slighly above-average sexiness) and add in a boring, dissinterested and xanax'ed performance... well, you get a trainwreck. she has done WAY better dance routines in the past, this one was very plain.
it's sad that people around her let her go through with this. someone should have stopped her and said "brit, this isn't going to look good or help your career." so either she is surrounded by sycophants, or she is really really full of herself. probably both.

plus, if that was "dancing," i'm THE greatest dancer in the world!!!

I think Dave Grohl moved more than Brit did.

sexiness? i've always thought she looked.... slow.
-
that was one of the worst performances i have ever seen. and she is definitely not 105 lbs. Yeah she might look ok for someone wtih kids, but she still should have wore something a little less revealing. I usually hate kanye, but i think he is right about her not being ready and should have waited. she should of known about this show for a while, so what did she do? not practice at all? and also, I wish kanye wouldnt ahve performed stronger at all. that song is garbage and does daft punk and Edwin Birdsong disservice.
-
The Dave Grohl mention made me think of something:
Back in 1993, at the absolute PEAK of the "Alternative Nation"/grunge mainstream popularity there was another (somewhat) hyped performance on the VMA's. Guns N Roses, The Black Crowes, Pearl Jam (with Neil Young), U2 and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers all played but everyone was looking forward to Nirvana since there were all the whispers and rumors with regards to Courtney, Frances and how long it took for them to record "In Utero."
And what do we remember from Nirvana's performance? The passion? The energy? The crystalization of a generation's hopes?
No, the bass player throwing his bass in the air and then clocked by it on the way down.

Why is having kids considered a handicap for someones looks/fitness? She had the youngest one over three years ago. Why would that have any bearing on what she looks like/how fit she is?
No doubt she has hired help that could give her the childcare and personal training that could get her into pre-baby shape.

That was in 1992 - the year before PJ played w/ NY.
If you watched the show, I doubt your memory is of Novaselic knocking himself out at the end.
Maybe that's how you remember it via VH1's Top 100 Awesomest Rock Goofballs! or something

No thats not a handicap. But a lot of people stay a little chunky after the baby. And her youngest is not three. she gave birth to her youngest kid less than a year ago. her oldest isnt even three.

agreed. for the average female, its a different story. that being said, some women are back to their pre-pregnancy weight (or damn close to it) within weeks of giving birth with almost no special diet and excercise regiment. while others can bust their ass and will always carry some of that weight on them.
how about the reason for her weight gain is "hey, shes not fucking 19 anymore", and probably more than half of the human population puts on some weight as they cruise through their 20s.

I think alot of people, woman and men, stay chunky after the baby because it's harder to find time and energy to workout now that you've got a kid or kids to take care of. Much more of a time/energy/priorities/motivation issue than anything physical.
Anyway, I stand corrected on her kids ages. I don't really pay much attention to the Britney spectacle.

right, so let's give britney and her kind a break. it's not as if the only thing they have to do to earn their gazillions is stay in shape and practice dance moves.

In my opinion, the real problem Britney created for herself is wearing a bra and panty outfit. There are a MILLION stage outfits she could have worn and she would have looked amazing. No one would have said, "oh my, she didn't bear her entire torso, she must be fat."
And as for her performance, it was awful and painful to watch. Take a look when she's helped down from the upper stage to the lower stage by the dancers -- I thought she must not realize this was the live show and thought it a rehearsal she could just walk through; she looked like she was getting out of a car drunk getting from one stage to the next.
Kanye was right; she was NOT ready, though I wouldn't be surprised if the pressure came from her camp as strongly as it did from MTV.

Check out maggie gyllenhaal's newest ads for lingerie. she looks hot! and i cant remember how long ago she gave birth, but it was fairly recently. anyway - having kids is not a handicap as far as getting in shape. these people have access to personal trainers, so maybe brit is just happy with her body.
but personally, i dont see whats wrong with britney and her body. looks fine to me in the outfit. granted not abs of steel, but she looks fine.
-
i humbly apologize for starting this thread. and even perpetuating it.
i regret it deeply. i just saw the article on some non-MTV related site, and thought i would post it in the VMA thread and proclaim my love for women over 130lbs.
however, there was no VMA thread, i started one, and for that i am sorry.
]now, everyone to the britpop thread!
-
I saw her (Maggie) naked in Sherrybaby (lame cliched movie btw), and she's definitely someone who looks better with her clothes on, and gains major benefits from a bra.

Britney admitted to being bulimic in those pre-baby days. I'm sure she'll be binging and purging again after all of these headlines.
Why doesn't anybody talk about the singer in Fall Out Boy? He could stand to lose a dress size or two.

I saw MCR a few years ago and the guy looked fine. Well fine for a guy in makeup. Here's the singer of FOB. The band always highlights Pete Wentz in videos/pics because this one isn't a looker.

Is the one on the right, you, 6949? I need to know because some of my friends at the Skynyrd show on Tuesday were asking about some "high-class, educated, posh lady" walking around "wearing fancy clothes." They wanted to know if you were seeing somebody. They'd be willing to accept a gun rack (for their pick-up) as a dowry.

Ohhhh! You're a Fall Out Boy fan? Fantastic! Maybe we can switch. You DO know they are touring with the Plain White T's ("Hey There, Delilah")? I didn't know you had such good taste in music, 6949. I'm going to feel bad about beating you this week in fantasy football.
