It's a vicious cycle.
She's a creation of the media that loves to hype things without substance and are basically pure eye candy and sex appeal. Prior to her downfall she was establishing unrealistic expectations for girls to try and measure themselves by (the really shallow ones, anyway) and was the face of anorexic Hollywood. Now that it's turned into a car crash and every paparazzi-wannabe is in pile up mode, she's fair game regardless if what they're saying is true to the real world or not. They created her and they'll be damned if they don't get fair dibs on destroying her.
However, for the rest of us, we're not dealing with real-world logic here, and never have been. The same people who report how awful people look due to eating disorders are the same ones who call this version of Britney Spears a fat pig. Those of us living and thinking in the real world realize it and scoff at it all. Those that are shallow and live and die by this kind of stuff continue to have the media serve up unrealistic expectations and eating disorders to them.
The whole paparazzi thing is growing to sickening levels, though, as it seems CNN has switched over to E! Entertainment News with their lovefest on covering celebs and their issues. If only we could all just look away and they'd disappear.....

Also I just want to say that just because a girl is really skinny does not mean she isn't healthy or is anorexic. My ex girlfriend weighted about 97 lbs and she ate like a horse. Seriously nothing but junk food and mountain dew. The happiest day was when she finally hit 100 lbs. Just wanted to say that becaues everytime a girl is "skinny" the insults start flying about how unhealthy they are and such.

I don't have a lot of respect for the media these days anyway, and that just further lowered it. If the impressionable girls see these and consider these fat, I only hope this doesn't lead to a lot more gals shoving their fingers down their throat just so they don't end up looking like "that whale Britney Spears" at the VMA's. Add me in to the list of people who think she's looking good there. QFT, as the kids say.

Sadly, yes. Time Warner bought AOL (which led to the disappearance of WCW). AOL is the division that runs all of Time Warner's internet operations. Just do a wiki search on any entertainment conglomerate and you'll be surprised as to who owns what. Time Warner also owns DC comics and horror icons Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger. I'll stop now before I completely derail the thread.

They were the only gossip site to report Pacman Jones was going to TNA for feck sake!

That's my one attempt at humor for today. That being said, I'm outraged that Britney is being called a fat, out-of-touch, insignificant, inconsequential, idiotic, worhtless, brainless, thoughtless, talentless hack when it's clear she's not fat.

Nope, she actually looks very IN shape. I have no idea what they were talking about.
Also, from what I've heard, the reason the performance wasn't very energetic is because before the show, she had specificially agreed to do this because Sarah Silverman agreed not to make any jokes about her kids...and Sarah did just that, and Britney was very distraught about the jokes she made...she almost didn't go on at all, but decided to anyway.

Didn't Britney perform before Sarah Silverman's unfunny monologue? That would confirm a few drug rumors right there if she used that as her defense.

I thought the complaint was that her choreography was extremely bad. Also, she shouldn't wear such skimpy outfits if she doesn't want her BMI hyperanalyzed. If you spend your entire career wearing next to nothing and then gain some weight, it's time to put on some more clothes. There were several things that she got called on-slow choreography, bad lip synching and her weight. Truth be told, if she had moved around a bit more they wouldn't have trashed her so bad. They even pointed out that the celebs in the audience had a blank look on their face-well they generally do anyway so this is just splitting hairs. we have too much new IMO. They copy off the other guy and dig too deep into stories that don't need to be analyzed that much to begin with

Britney Spears train wreck performance at the VMAs was thrown together at the last-minute. MTV apparently nixed Britney’s original idea that would’ve included the highly-publicized magic of Criss Angel Britney was unmotivated about the performance and it showed. E! Online has the details:
“Britney wanted an elaborate magic act on stage,” an insider reveals. “But it got to be so over-the-top, it was just too complicated to pull off. So, she had to modify her act at the last minute, and she wasn't happy.” The 25-year-old pop tart reportedly wanted to stage a series of Criss Angel-inspired illusions that would have had her disappearing and reappearing throughout the act. Britney decided to honor her commitment to MTV, but her lack of enthusiasm became evident.
“She went out all night and then came in for rehearsals entirely not into what she was doing,” our source said. “It was obvious she didn't want to be there.” Though people around Spears tried to reassure her the act was strong even without the magic stunts - even Justin Timberlake, who reportedly sent his ex a good luck note - the singer visibly lost her motivation to perform. “Brit no longer seemed to care. She'd roll her eyes in response or not say anything. It was hard to watch,” our source said.

For a celeb who does pop music, Britney didnt look good. Who the f*** did her hair extensions? When she danced, her baby flab DID move around, making it look gross. Hell, its been rumoured that she was drunk before the show started, and Britney was so comically out of shape, she couldn't do any of her dance moves. While for a normal mortal, she looks fantastic, as a corporate creation with no talent, and a shitty song to debut with, she looks terrible. You could see a little bit of a belly. Probably due to her being bloated from the booze in her.That is the grim reality of it. Birtney looked terrible. She has no self esteem and she made herself look bad. Did you see her terrible lip synching? DId you see her akward dancing? Did you see the look on her face while she did it? She looked bad all around.
Then after the show, she went and showed her pussy again. Smart move Britney, Smart move.

What a selfish douche bag she is. She's basically telling everybody, "buy my CD but I'm not going to give you an ounce of effort where it counts...but BUY MY CD." smurf you.
