Is Britney Spears Having the Worst Week Ever?

9/14/07, 6:36 pm EST


Professionally speaking, Britney Spears is having one crappy week. Things were bad during her relatively halcyon Paris-hanging, panty-flashing, head-shaving days, but now her career is in serious danger. After turning out what is now widely considered to be a shiteous performance Sunday night at MTV’s VMAs, it was open season on Spears.

Tuesday, Tori Amos rattled off a verse dedicated to Britney that boasted the refrain, “When a star falls down, when a star falls down.” Wednesday, word broke that Timbaland thinks Spears should apologize to him and Justin Timberlake for bailing on a collaboration. “She should humble herself and make a phone call and say, ‘I’m sorry.’ She knows what she’s sorry about,” the producer told MTV News. In addition, American Idol judge Simon Cowell said that with a performance that poor, Spears would have gotten the boot from his reality show. “She wasn’t ready for that show in every possible way,” he said. “The problem she has now is that she could have killed her career.” As a brutal bonus, US reported that her abs didn’t come from the gym, but from a spray tan.

Thursday everyone was talking about how Spears ditched rehearsals to toss back a drink or a dozen with Diddy in Vegas. In addition, bizarre reports surfaced indicating a Palestinian terror group threatened to behead Spears (and Madonna) for their proliferation of “Satanic culture” (come on, is lip-synching “Gimme More” badly really grounds for decapitation?) Today, the Spears legal team swung back into action for a hearing related to the star’s custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline. This week both of her sons had birthdays, too: Sean Preston turns two today, and Jayden James turned one on Wednesday. Her only defenders during the past five brutal days? Kanye West, Backstreet Boy AJ McLean, her cousin Alli Simms and this nutty dude. Here’s hoping the sun comes out next week, Brit.

Is lip-synching “Gimme More” badly really grounds for decapitation? Yes. Yes it is!

I really do feel sorry for Britney she is an excellent performer. I know she will definitely come back. Guys after all this is not a one hit singer/performer we are talking about this is the one and only Britney Spears….sorry Rhianna

Mike/Houston,TX. | 9/14/2007, 7:07 pm EST

Her ‘true talents’ finally emerged: she has no talent. The camera doesn’t even like her anymore – but that’s her own fault. Totally talentLESS and clueless. PLEASE RETIRE FOREVER!

happy meal | 9/14/2007, 7:13 pm EST

in her case, less is definitely not more.
take away the exterior, and what’s left?

thatguy | 9/14/2007, 7:21 pm EST

come on, she can take it…and I quote, “Hit me baby, one more time.”

Joan | 9/14/2007, 7:55 pm EST

I so want her to make that ‘true’ comeback. Good luck, Britney. You’re a great talent. You’ve just got to get serious now, and remember when you really wanted to be ‘Britney’!

Supersonic | 9/14/2007, 8:42 pm EST

“You’re a great talent.” I really want to see what you think sucks!

Some chick from MD | 9/14/2007, 8:57 pm EST

Britney brought this on herself. Who cares about her career. She has been given so many chances and she effs it up. She look like she was on drugs at the MTV awards and dance like Bill Cosby. She is a wacko. She needs to get out of the spotlight and spend some time with her kids.

Jakobi | 9/14/2007, 10:15 pm EST

I feel bad for her. This was a bad decision. She wasn’t ready to perform as she did.
If anything she should have just got up and sung the song, without the strip club dancing that we’ve all come to associate with her performances.
I think she needs to grow up a bit.
I mean, Christina Aguelira has managed to mature a bit, why can’t Britney?

Jakobi | 9/14/2007, 10:16 pm EST

P.S. Is that her real hair in the above picture?

K Fed | 9/14/2007, 10:18 pm EST

I’ll check. Nope. It’s a wig.

P Diddy | 9/14/2007, 10:25 pm EST

Nope. It’s a wig.

That Timberfuck twat wants a apology? Everybody drop what you’re doing! I’d ask for an apology from him for polluting the airwaves, but I’d rather not hear his annoying pussy-ass vocal chords anymore.

Hey man, this all getting out of hand. Next thing you know all you losers will be blaming Britney for Iraq. If you really care for Britney, get her a free pass to a Bally gym for a good work out. Get a life!

reply2supersonic | 9/15/2007, 12:04 am EST

being cruel and simply dumb, and suggesting that she should be decapitated by terrorists who threaten your country, is grounds for your decapitation.

the performance was dull, so what, the bandit needs to hit the gym sort out a proper and artistic video for the single, do two or three hot performances for the song and release the album…we’ve all seen this before.

Reply to reply to SuperSonic | 9/15/2007, 12:22 am EST

Yeah, decapitation is way out of line. Way out of line. I say dismemberment followed by disembowlment is more along the lines.

supersonic | 9/15/2007, 12:41 am EST

what terrorists? you see words that are not there.

jz | 9/15/2007, 1:54 am EST

I like about 4 of her new tracks. 2 or 3 others are not good. But that’s true of any artist. Very few have all great songs on the same album. Actually Brits old CD sometimes had all good tracks, but that’s a while ago. But who cares about one stupid show or how she does it? I could care less about performances. I go to some for fun, but don’t take them so seriously. When I listen to music, I honestly choose what I like and that’s about it. I think the 3 or 4 new tracks of hers that are good, are very good. So that’s good enough for me.

bitterness leads | 9/15/2007, 1:57 am EST

Yeah! Yeah! Chop her fuckin’ head off!

Gallow's Pole | 9/15/2007, 2:06 am EST

Britney Spears is a beautiful young
woman. She is a superb vocalist with
a body most woman would die for. A very talented gal. “Gimme More” is
outstanding.

Who appointed you judge, without a
robe or a courtroom?

Some of these comments are crude & appalling. It says a lot about the person that wrote them!!

WF | 9/15/2007, 8:48 am EST

Sarah Silverman was the “worst” at the MTV awards. What a nasty, vulgar, NO TALENT woman. She had the nerve to
bash somebody else…namely Britney Spears. Silverman had the nerve to bash Britney’s 2 little children, which was crude and disgusting.
Now THAT is classless & disgusting.

Anonymous | 9/15/2007, 9:01 am EST

Sarah Silverman fucking rocks. Last time I checked she played guitar. Quite well, and she’s hilarious. Britney Spears doesn’t play shit. Except maybe the skin flute for crack.

OMG | 9/15/2007, 9:51 am EST

She’s a joke!

DUDEYO | 9/15/2007, 9:56 am EST

I think the palestinians should behead Sara Silverman for the crap that came out of her mouth. Nothing good comes out of her mouth. They should set up a celeb
boxing match between Sara and Britney so Britney can KO Sara.
Peace out.

Britney Spears is a washed up child star, manufactured by various greedy bastards to cash in on. Now she’s going to end up in a movie, lying in tub while someone takes a huge shit on her head, in a vain attempt to stop forclosure on her house.

LOL | 9/15/2007, 12:16 pm EST

This is what can happen to all artists out there. One by one they will all fall to the ground. All these fake woman on stage an men if you can call them that, I feel they are kids. They have no talent at all its just all about lying to fans and thats what people dont get. All people who consider themselves fans are not fan you all are followers. I have been praying that all these artists fall one by one beacuse they are the reason this world is so currupt.Woman above all dont have no kind of value now-a-days, to them it is so cool to come out there naked and show their body.. Well, one advise when I see that its just redeculous how womans breasts are always out there and I just find it so repolsing and i feel that no matter what age it looks like your trying too hard, so my advise is to cover up Britney and all woman with low value. Most man out here dont even deserve that. Britney, it was about time God put you in your place where you belong just as He will bring down all those who think they are the Rulers of this world. Jesus is God and soon all of you will see His POWER!

Oh, and Sarah Silverman and anyone else who thinks Sarah is some kind of brilliant comedian are complete a-holes and just really dumb.

Enough said.

Mary Beth | 9/15/2007, 3:14 pm EST

I feel bad for Britney, but I do think she’ll be OK because the truth is, she’s Britney Spears.

She’ll be fine and I hope the best.

The media is corrupt as hell | 9/15/2007, 3:14 pm EST

Ask yourself this question…

Would you criticize as much and as maliciously if she weighed a bit less?

Would you?

So what does that say about the media and you?

PerkyDan | 9/15/2007, 3:15 pm EST

Britney Spears’ decapitation would have been a FAR more entertaining opening to the VMA’s (A lame show on a SUPER lame network!)

All true, all true, but that still doesn’t mean that she wouldn’t be one DYNAMITE FUCK !!!

Why? How out of bounds am I? In 30 years will anybody be able to name more than 3 songs that Britney Spears sang, or more headlines from USA Today? I’ll be careful of how overexposed this performer (whore) really is, but just for now Britney- stay in 1998

I feel absolutely zero sympathy for Britney. She KNOWS what it takes to pull off a good performance, and didn’t bother. She has flushed away what could have been a chance to basically tell the world to F-off, and instead used it to prove her critics right. You reap what you sow, and she’s reaping now.

Bukowski | 9/16/2007, 1:08 am EST

mom | 9/16/2007, 1:20 am EST

I am sick of all the rude comments about Britney. Leave her alone…I wish I looked that good after haing kids…maybe she wants to be a normal person,

Bukowski | 9/16/2007, 1:27 am EST

she wants to be a “normal” person who keeps making records, always preening in full view of papparazzi and their flashing bulbs (that’s not an accident) and prancing around a stage like a two-bit pole dancer. if that’s normal, then she’s more normal than any of us will ever know. if she really wanted a normal life, she would take a few years off. but she doesn’t do that does she? she allows her mellowdrama to be played out in front of a watching world.

54 | 9/16/2007, 3:19 am EST

What a shame. Just speaking about her proves that you’ve paid attention to somebody you don’t want to pay attention to.

Bukowski | 9/16/2007, 4:28 am EST

I LIKE paying attention to her. I never said I didn’t. You seem to have a talent for seeing words that aren’t there. Maybe you need to get your reading glasses prescription updated.

Osama Bin Laden | 9/16/2007, 7:58 am EST

To be fair her performance was no different to any other performance sees ever done!!! She always lip syncs at the VMAs..The only time she sings live is when “shes” on tour…and reading through these comments you can clearly tell who the jealous ugly bastards are who work in Walmart!! Get a life ass lickers…and when youve sold millions of records then comment…

Bring the whole thing down.
Admit it. We all love a good spectacle!

hplovesdick | 9/17/2007, 1:57 am EST

Britney Spears was never more than a product. She never could sing live. She could make videos. She could lip-sync. She could make recordings in the controlled environment of the studio. She still looks good and she once looked fabulous. But now, the girl has problems. She’s not as hot as she once was. She’s lazy and/or she’s got a drug problem. We demand perfection from Britney and she’s not delivering it. She doesn’t care about her performance. She’s let herself slide. All she has to do is show up and she causes a scene–she gets all the attention. Britney knows her appearance is the most important thing. When she ran off stage after her ‘performance’ at the VMA, she was ‘inconsolable’. Why? Because she was unhappy with her terrible performance? No! She was upset because she looked like a “fat pig” on the monitors! Britney’s one and only “talent” has always been looking pretty and sexy. We all know that won’t last.

wendy | 9/17/2007, 2:24 am EST

I’m not a Britney fan, but I will defend her on one specific issue. Weight loss is a lot different for women than it is for men; and much more difficult, especially for women who have had children. It is not impossible, but it does take time, work and patience.

Hey hp | 9/17/2007, 3:09 am EST

You’re a really beautiful writer.

Hmmm . . . did I write that? As a matter of fact, I think I did. Go figure.

jamie | 9/17/2007, 5:35 am EST

how nice was it for the american idol judges to offer britney help,hope she takes their offer.i feel really sorry for her know one else in the industry gets as much attention as she does,not even paris hilton and lindsey lohan,i think not only is britney having the worst week ever but i think she’s having the worst year and a half and im really surprised that nothing serious has happened to her,which i hope nothing does.

Worst is not the word | 9/17/2007, 4:20 pm EST

Worst is not the word I would use. It passed bad about 1 year ago, when she lost her hair and mind. It was all down hill, at a fast run, from there. Poor Britney, Queen of the has beens.

Justin Timberlake | 9/17/2007, 5:05 pm EST

Britney, please play with my ding ding until it explodes.

tsunami | 9/17/2007, 5:25 pm EST

I saved myself from the torture of watching this show. However, a friend who watched it told me that the whole show was absolutely pathetic and pitiful, with the exception of Alicia Keys’ performance. Britney could not even lyp sinc (as if lip syncing wasn’t bad enough!), but she also screwed up all her dance moves. A complete flop, and a waste of time for anybody who actually sat through watching this disaster.

Like as if! | 9/17/2007, 5:36 pm EST

Justin?! What?! Oh my my, that hard up huh?!I almost beleived it was really him you dork! NOT!

Like as if! | 9/17/2007, 6:08 pm EST

Britney is the best I don’t care what ya’ll say. I met her a little bit ago and she rocked! And yeah she had her own hair then! She is a good mom. People need to leave her alone and let her deal with her PERSONAL life on her own! Key word being personal!

Our friend Like as if here is a numbnuts. We’ll keep her shit personal when SHE keeps it personal, brainiac. You flash your vag in public, you try on panties in the middle of a store, you throw public fit after public fit, you have MADE it public business because the public has to put up with it. You can’t puke your personal life into the middle of a media circus and then get all pissed off because your life is now public property.

like, as IF.
