If I have to hear one more time that Britney looked fat in her outfit at that MTV awards show, I’ll scream.
No, she didn’t. I don’t even have to get into whatever “fat” means, or get into the whole body image/culture thing, because she didn’t even look Hollywood fat. The talking heads in the news seem so gleeful, seem to be crowing about how fat she was and how badly she screwed up. Fat! Bald! Bad mother! Stupid! No underwear! Fat! (Wow, this is fun!) Fill the papers with it, because there’s nothing else going on.
I don’t know her; I don’t know what’s true in the constant stream of rumor about her. But, still, there’s something about her…
Maybe it’s the question about whether she suffered from post-partum depression. Maybe it’s the way that she seemed to be so sexualized so young in the media. What does that do to a girl? Maybe it’s that in all of the news about her, it’s difficult to figure out who she has in her corner.
There’s a lot in the papers to break my heart without having to worry about a pop star and her problems, but still, there’s something about her.
I didn’t think the bikini was overly flattering, but I don’t think anyone could have pulled off an outfit so tacky.
Fat. Ha. It’s a real wonder our girls don’t think “too thin” is possible, isn’t it?
I feel sorry for her. The assertion that she looked fat is ridiculous.
I agree, I thought her body looked gorgeous. Her zombie gaze screwed the whole thing up. God/dess bless her (and I mean that).
