Britney Spears – Celebrity Oops & Bad Journalism

What the hell is going on when Britney Spears is considered fat?  News stations are really missing the story here.

 CBC News:  "An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked-about performance..."

US Weekly:  “She was also able to see video of herself throughout the auditorium” claims the backstage source

“She flipped out. She came running off the stage, yelling ‘Oh, my God, I looked like a fat pig! I looked like a fat pig!’ She was inconsolable.”

It's not news that a pop star is unhappy with her appearance, she's female.  No female is every happy with their body.    The fact that Britney is being referred to as fat by others, completely baffles the mind.  I see a woman that does not look like she had two children. 

Britney's body no longer looks like that of a young teen, but one of a vivacious and sexy woman.  If the lanky/lean teenager body is what news media considers to be sexy then they need help - that's called pedafilia.  Dirty old news men!

We constantly hear tv stars, movie stars and singers are portraying the wrong body image for our children.  Stars are too thin, children as young as 10 and 11 are dieting to get that super lean look.  Then we finally see a performer (fine Britney's performance sucked - really not news) with a body just about any woman would be thrilled to have and we slay her for being fat? What the hell is that?  Britney is not fat.  Her body rocks.  Not her singing or her dancing, but her body is awesome.

Curves make a woman exactly that...a woman!  Straight lines on the female body should not be thought of as sexy.  Straight, non-curved bodies are children's bodies and that is the last thing we want people to think of as sexy.

As for Chris Crocker's YouTube video about Britney Spears.  Can we really call that news, I just don't see it.  Someone video taping themselves being totally outlandish and upset on a subject as trivial as Britney Spears.  Wow..how innovative....

   i agree with you on that. people have been acting absolutely ridiculous about her body shape. i loved when she told the paps, “I’m just fat, ya’ll.” really whats the big deal?

   she had two kids in a short time, and she didnt have her self lipo-ed like crazy to get herself back to prepubescent. she looks great.
