Defending Brit-Brit?

This is a weird moment…I feel the need to smack the tabloids and semi-defend Britney Spears. Yes, I know this is weird even to me and it feels slightly dirty…but it must be done.

I saw the strange slow-motion train wreck of a dance routine on CNN, MSNBC and tons of other sites. I laughed…guffawed really …the bad hair weave, the poor dancing, the obvious lip synch issue she was having…oh and my favorite, her Super Sparkle Vicky’s Secret Bra and Panty Set. Nothing says classy like a sparkly bra and panty offset by knee high boots and fishnets.

What is my issue with media coverage? I hate that they are calling her FAT! Was Brit-Brit super skinny hyper toned…no, she wasn’t. But FAT? Really? For a scary, one step-up from trailer trash, pop star who popped out 2 kids in about 2 years, she is impressively svelte. I saw no bulges of cellulite…no massive fat gut…there may have been painted on abs…but she was NOT FAT!

Calling Britney in her current (probably drug addled) state massive, fat, ugly…for fucking stupid ass Jay (no so slim)Leno to call her fat…that is just WRONG! We wonder why there has been a massive upswing in eating disorders in both men and women in this country? In my nightmares my possible future daughters would idolize this living train wreck or worse yet dress like her. Does she deserve scorn? Yes, in many ways she does for her stupid ass choices as a mother, pop-star and now ex-wife to an asshat wannabe rapper. To imply her NORMAL, if somewhat borderline on fitness body, is FAT is fucking up women and girls all over this county who already struggle with how they look. MEDIA: Please focus on what is worth the scorn…it’s not her BMI…it’s her F-ed up life choices!
