Britney at 2007 VMA (1 Viewer)

Check out Seth Green's Leave Chris Cocker(Britney Spears) Alone parody video that he did for The Soup.
Loved how he plugs Season 3 of Robot Chicken and Season 2 on DVD

You make it sound like she's 300lbs! Certainly shes gained a lil' bit since she was 18 and famously doing 1000 sit-ups daily. Buts she's still got a better body than 99% of the world will ever have.

And those are some really good hair extensions

 

[Garrett Lundy]

Don't forget the 60's also gave us Twiggy

who had the kind of physique that would guarantee a lifetime of film roles typecast as a prisoner at Birkenau.

Even at her thinnest Britney was 20lbs heavier.

 

[Ken Chui]

A lil'? 99% of the world? I think someone's in a very forgiving mood. Consider:

2004:


Present:


If the latter is better than 99% of the world, I think a passport renewal is in order.

 

[RobertR]

Wow. That is a huge difference, and certainly can't be attribute just to motherhood.

 

[Garrett Lundy]

Shes also 10 years older.
"When 900 years old you are, look so good you shall not."

 

[Garrett Lundy]

Clearly the HTF needs to sponsor my world travel vacation to prevent me from making such claims again. I think touring China in a rented Rolls-Royce is a good place to start.

 

[Jeff Ulmer]

You guys are too hard on the girl. She would have sold just as many albums had she looked like Roseanne, right?

As for the before and after shots, you do realize the first has been through Photoshop... didn't you? My criticism is with the complete lack of energy in the performance, not that she doesn't look 13 anymore.

 

[Jast3r Rogu3]

Cool.

 

[Paul D G]

That Present picture is actually a couple of years old. I could be wrong, but it might even be before she had kids. I'm at work so I'm not about to go scouring the net for Britney bikini pictures, but look up any news story on her at the VMAs and you'll see a more accurate Present picture.

I'm honestly not seeing what's wrong with the "present" picture. If anything, I prefer that her arms look like arms and not skin-covered bones.

The bikini pic. is also taken from afar with a VERY long lens. Long lens (telephoto) shots squash perspective and make everything look bigger, wider than they are.

Here's an example.

Here's a pic. of me with a slightly wide angle lens...

and here's another taken with the lens in telephoto (long lens, zoom...) mode. And nowhere NEAR the length that the bikini Brit pic. was taken with.

Here, I flipped one pic. and matched the head heights...

Now these were taken around the same time. My weight hadn't changed at ALL but looking at the 2 photos, one might think, "Wow! Dave, either you gained or lost quite a bit of weight there...!"

when in reality, it's just the lens. So comparing a studio shoot that was probably photoshopped to a long lens snooping photgrapher pic. (that also could have been photoshopped to look less flattering) actually means nothing.

 

[Paul D G]

The things you can do when killing time... The 'present' pic was from April of 2003, not too long after splitting with Timberlake.

(and there's a few more as well)

Ditto. I was seriously wondering if something was wrong with my eyes at this point, given Robert's last post.

But I think this thread illustrate why many fine healthy women are irrationally obsessed with weight and intent on destroying their bodies natural curves. With this kind of expectations, who can blame them.

I thought that her body and choice of costume complimented her music-- tired and uninspired.

But maybe I should be kinder to her. She is, after all, 6 years younger than me.

 

[JeremyErwin]

But in 1967, when Twiggy debuted, her look was considered novel.

 

[Dave Mack]

indeed. And now after this quote from Britney has been published...


http://tv.msn.com/music/hotgossip/9-12-07?GT1=7702

""She was also able to see video of herself throughout the auditorium," a backstage mole snitches to Us Weekly. "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."

I'm sure that many girls, young women who for whatever reason, dig Britney and who think they themselves have a weight problem must just feel great now. They saw perhaps a more realistic looking yet still shapely woman onstage who now thinks she looked like a "fat pig" because after having 2 kids, he sixpack wasn't there.

Was the perfomance good? No. It was VERY bad. Should she be called on it? Sure.
But this whole "BRITNEY'S FAT!!!!" thing is just way over the top.

Holadem: Thanks for that contribution to the "discussion!"

Here is a response to all of those bashing Britney from a big fan. (Yes, this is real and this dude needs help.)
