There’s no story to really link to here, but everyone else is already talking about it, so I’ll throw my two cents in. Tonight I tuned in to catch Britney Spears’ highly-touted “comeback” on the MTV Video Awards, and it was everything I had hoped it would be. The only thing she didn’t do was fall down, but man she looked totally out of it while performing her new bomb “Gimme More.” She was behind a couple beats on her lip sync near the beginning, her “dancing” looked more like she was taking tentative baby steps, and her body, while not shameful was just…well, let’s just say she’s not the old Britney and shouldn’t be trying to wear revealing outfits these days. The whole performance looked like a half-assed rehearsal than a final take. I’m sorry, but I thought making a supposedly big comeback means you generally put 110% into it, but like the rest of her life lately, Britney just phoned it in.
To top that off, though, the wonderful Sarah Silverman came out and immediately started telling off-color jokes about Britney and her kids. The entire audience was silent for the first third of her act. It was priceless. Silverman stuck it to the show completely and looked hilariously disgusted as she ended her routine and walked off the stage. What the fuck were the MTV execs even thinking by booking her on the show? It was excellent, and afterwards I promptly turned it off and watched “The Soup.” Can’t wait to see how they skewer the hell out of all this next week.
