Defending Britney

I'm not used to being put in a position to defend the likes of Britney Spears. All the junk this last week however, that's being spewed about her appearance on the MTV awards show is just crazy. Granted she's no role model, or even model citizen, but fat? Goodness gracious how should that make women like ME feel? I'm working my butt off to lose weight and get fit but if THAT'S America's view of FAT then I may as well just toss in the towel. As for her lack-luster dancing, okay, hey, it happens. Apparently her 'planned' routine was nixed at the last minute and she had to throw something together she was obviously uncomfortable with. I've read some remarks that her 'handlers' shouldn't have let her go on... oh sure, that wouldn't have made headlines everywhere with words like 'diva', 'undependable', etc, etc... She was damned if she did, and damned if she didn't, but overall it was a fiasco that didn't really happen. How dare anyone call that woman fat, or even talk about her bad performance, I dare anyone that says that to get up on stage in front of a television audience of millions and do anything at all.
