It's why I watched for the first time in at LEAST five years.

*shudder* that picture is truely revolting

It's almost like she is trying to accentuate the negative.

cord, be a dear and post a different picture please. my fragile mind can't handle this one. thanks!

best,
deimos

That picture couldn't get much more unflattering. It's truly indicative of the performance itself.

That is some major PMS bloat there. Brit-Twit should have added Midol to her grocery list of "Drugs To Be Taken During Weekend Of VMA's."

Siiiiiiggghhhh.

i'm really starting to think brit doesn't own any mirrors…it's the only reasonable explanation for the outfits she wears.

Or she has what Tyra coined as "Bigorexia." She thinks she is smaller than she really is.

Bigorexia…thats fierce

She can be a Dove model now.

That would involve her using soap.

She could model for Layne Bryant…all of their "plus" size models are a size 10.

And that was just cruel to post "year to year gain" right next to her picture. *tee-hee*

I don't know about that. I think that Toccara from ANTM and Mia Tyler would probably kill her before she made it on a runway.

My fave is the face-on still shot that highlights her double chin. Poor dear- I really think her weight is the least of her problems. I wish my body had recouperated like that so quickly after I had 2 kids!

Speaking of Tyra, does she have a beef with Ken Paves, too? Her hair is not looking fierce. I watched some rerun of her show last night and she looked quite zombie-like.

p.s. Britney's dance in the "Toxic" video is a total copy of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love." Beyonce even licks her thumb twice. In all seriousness, she must have been pissed when she saw that Brit one-upped her classy short-shorts, white tank and high-heels getup with a naked, crystal-covered getup.

thats a pretty in depth analysis

While that's not the most flattering pose and Britney is disgusting for millions of reasons, let's be honest here about the message we're sending out: she is not fat. I mean, we harp on people like Angelina, etc, for getting so skinny, but look how everyone pounces on fucking Britney's weight for just honestly being normal and even still having a pretty great figure. We've had 20 yr old models DIE in the last year alone from starvation. This is just uncool to promote. I love celeb gossip and watching them fuck up but like honestly, I know too many girls with their heads in the toilet due to pressure, or fucking with such unhealthy self-images. I hate to be the voice of reason when I like to poke fun as much as the next person, but I think her figure is the LEAST of her problems, in all reality. Yes she dresses like white trash, but still, she's not fat.

fairmaiden327: your DOVE comment made me laugh out loud! Awesome.

Lale: Didn't Toxic come out before Crazy in Love? I think Beyonce probably copied Britney in this instance.

Eeks: You're totally right. She's not fat. I've had this conversation with my coworkers. She's actually pretty toned for how thick she is. She just shouldn't have worn a bra and panties on live (inter)national television, that's all.

I said the same thing you have before eeks. She's not "fat." However, she dresses terribly for her shape. She would look great if she would wear clothes in her current size, and not the size she wore 5 years ago.

Also, the woman has 2 children. It's just not appropriate to be prancing around in a bedazzled bra and panties 3 sizes too small.

People will look at you funny when your dressed like that at the local Albertsonsons with your babies, jealous!

Brit-Twit just doesn't realise that her body is not the same as it was 2 babies and 2 c-sections ago. She's thicker and she has the little c-section "pocket." She just needs to wear different clothes…and more of them.

And they should be size appropriate. I'd like to get into a size 0 but I'm not going to force the issue.

Well at least she's good at something (getting ratings).

It's nice to hear some support. I agree - she dresses crappy but still, she doesn't look awful in that outfit. TV also adds weight to you, too.

I actually like Beyonce LESS than Britney….

yourmom - that is actually quite true, probably.

I have friends who were fat in childhood and now are super skinny but will always "think" fat. Not unlike Parker Posey's hilarious character in the fucking epic, "Adam & Steve" - a very choice flick.

And likewise, some girls who were skinny and shit gain and don't notice. Still wearing bikinis, striding tall and proud, with no shame.

Alas, the mind is so powerful!

"like" isn't so much the question in my mind, but who is the bigger trainwreck, and Brit takes the cake on that one

Toxic was out in January 03
Crazy in Love out in Mid-2003

Damn you, Sexyback. I'm trying to be a nicer person and this was the one thing, the one thing that I could use to improve my attitude towards Beyonce.

Where's Garcon? We need someone to lighten up the mood around here and Dude is always a breath of fresh air. Waiter…OH WAITOOOR!!!

Is it drinkin time?

evil twin: I call it "Mariahitis"…but Bigorexia works too…lol

mariahitis = a mariah which has become swollen = can be shortened to mariah

I think it's the ill-fitting clothes and the poor posture that are making her look even worse. To be honest, I'd like to have her body, but she looks like 10 pounds of sugar in a 5 pound sack.

As far as Mariah goes, what the hell happened to her face? It's like she's on steroids or something. Her face over the past 7 years or so got super wide.

once again, for the grillionth time you bastard hollywood ladies, it's the eyebrows. mariah's are completely without excuse. they are rounded with no real arch, and she could HAVE an arch, she just absolutely refuses. i'm sorry, once is a mistake, twice is a scene…. but for the last 15 years? that's pretty much a sign of lunacy.

I thought her body was pretty banging for someone who's had 2 kids back to back and is constantly seen sucking down Frappucinos. But looking at this picture from this angle I feel if she just takes a really large shit she'll lose 10 inches off her waist.

Speaking of, I don't know if this is an exclusivly Canadian Home Shopping Network thing but has anyone seen that new Dr. Ho's plan for losing inches off your waist? Basically you poop the inches off. Brilliant!

jonathon anton! bangin!!!!

Oh man, don't get me started on Mariah. Her face has become more chipmunky with every year. Ugh, you are righ about those brows. OMG, Sar, send me some Ambien. I feel a rage coming on.

I'd love to poop the inches off. I'd grab a bag of Doritos, chocolate cake, and ice cream. And then I'd go lose 5 pounds.

I wonder if Britney has her assistants tear out the size 10 labels in her clothes and sew size 2 labels in their place, like Mooriah does. Oh that's right…Brit-Twit just buys the size 2 and shoves everything in.
Yeah…I wonder what has made her face so chipmunky? She probably downs a bag of Doritos, chocolate cake and ice cream and then prays to the porcelain god.

Except she doesn't actually go through with the last part. I think the face is just from storing Doritos when she needs a snack.

Juju, have you ever had Alli? It's the closest thing to pooping out your food… Also any weight loss products from Mexico, which my mother-in-law brings me. DON'T follow dosing instructions on the Mexican stuff, which indicate that you take 2 pills at every meal. That will make Montezuma's Revenge seem like an ice cream sundae.

But at least I'll be 10 pounds lighter. Which I'm sure I'll enjoy as I crap my size 3 pants in public. Explosive diarrhea and all.
