Let's Keep Some Perspective.. Brittany at VMAs
To be fair, I didn't actually watch the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). It seems Ms. Brittany didn't have a good performance, which isn't a surprise to anyone... I do take issue with people commenting that she looked really heavy and unfit...
Take a look at this photo:
She has had two children - I think she looks pretty good. Why doesn't she get any credit for performing in nothing more than a bikini on live TV. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Brittany Spears fan. But since when is someone who looks like this fat???.... Even if she is a celebrity that is supposedly held up to a higher (translation: insaner) body standard.
Comments about Brittany being fat just contribute to the body-image problems that many women and young girls face.
Update: It was nice to see an article on this very subject this morning. I think its a fair point that if you opt for a bikini on a national broadcast you are inviting critiscm, BUT, the NY Post and others are still being overly critical.
