LAS VEGAS - Somewhere, Kevin Federline is laughing.

An out-of-shape, out-of-touch Britney Spears delivered what was destined to be the most talked about performance of the MTV Video Music Awards _ but for all the wrong reasons. Kicking off the show Sunday night with her new single, "Gimme More," Spears looked bleary and unprepared _ much like her recent tabloid exploits on the streets of Los Angeles.

She lazily walked through her dance moves with little enthusiasm. It appeared she had forgotten the entire art of lip-synching; and, perhaps most unforgivable given her once taut frame, she looked embarrassingly out of shape.

Even the celebrity-studded audience seemed bewildered. 50 Cent looked at Spears with a confused expression; Diddy, her new best friend, was expressionless.

Some comeback.

The VMAs was hoping to reinvent itself on Sunday. After suffering poor reviews and a decline in ratings over the last few years, MTV moved the show to Las Vegas' Palms Casino, shortened the show from three hours to two, and changed the show's setup to focus more on performances than awards.

To that end, Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, Kanye West, Fall Out Boy and the Foo Fighters were each hosting four separate suite parties, where much of the show's performances would be held. MTV was hoping for some unusual pairings and unscripted antics. Other performers were appearing on the show's main stage, in front of an industry-only audience seated at tables, like at the Golden Globes.

Among the stars set to perform were Chris Brown, Lily Allen, Rihanna and Alicia Keys.

The Palms' casino floor, already glittering with slot machines and blinking lights, was transformed into a dazzling red carpet, as the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Kid Rock, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Garner and a newly blond Nelly Furtado were among those who posed for the cameras.

And Nicole Scherzinger, making her solo debut from the Pussycat Dolls, gave a performance for the gawking fans, performing her new single with the rapper Lil' Wayne.

Britney Spears a mess; Kanye a racist (who would have thought?) and 50 cent almost electrocuted...his new name shoud be Dime Bag.

Mr. Stefani · 09-09-2007, 11:50 PM

it wasnt horrible it just want up to britney standards. it looked rushed and the stage was pretty crappy. a performance like that wouldve been more suited for a talk show not the vma's.

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 09-09-2007, 11:56 PM

She looked like she didn't want to be there.

Brian Damage · 09-09-2007, 11:59 PM

Wow, what happened there?

Mr. Stefani · 09-10-2007, 01:08 AM

Sarah Silvermans "jokes" about Britney's kids were uncalled for. The audience sat there in silence the whole time. If I were Britney I wouldve had words with her after that one.

Quote:

"This is so exciting, wasn't that incredible? Miss Britney Spears everyone. She is amazing, I mean she is 25 years old and has already accomplished everything she is going to accomplish in her life. It's mind blowing, and she's so grown up. She's a mother, you know it's crazy to think that just a few years ago on this very show she was this like sweet innocent little girl in slutty clothes riding around with a python. That not nice calling Madonna a python. But have you seen Britney's kids? Oh my god. They are the most adorable mistakes you have ever seen. They are so cute. There as cute as the hairless vagina they came out of. What I'm serious they're this cute you guy."

who says that?

Hellyeah's Vinnie Paul Abbott would not have been pleased with that moniker.
