Taking 'trainwreck' to new heights.

This is old news by now, I know, but I couldn't let this pass by without saying something.

For those of you who have been living in a cave, or on a trans-Atlantic balloon flight, or who just finished sailing around the world, Britney Spears bombed liked no one else has ever bombed before on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night:



Is she nervous? Drunk? High? All of the above? Probably. One thing's for certain: She should not have gone on stage. Doesn't she have people, like handlers or something, someone who could or should have told her she wasn't ready? I actually feel bad for her. Not that it's not her own fault - it is - but that performance was just excruciating.

And for those people in the media who call her fat - shame on you. She should not have been dancing around in her underwear, I agree, but she is clearly not fat. There are enough women in the world, young and old, who suffer from eating disorders and it's just irresponsible to perpetuate some ideal female body that rarely exists in the real world.
