Britney Spears, MTV, and Her Tummy
There have been a lot of people commenting about Britney Spears and how she looked at the MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday. Dr. Rob Oliver at Plastic Surgery 101 has a balanced commentary from a plastic surgeon's perspective which is a nice read.
From my standpoint, I think she looked good for someone who's had two children. Sure, her performance was terrible (closer to Ashlee Simpson than Milli Vanilli), and she should have worn more clothing, but geez, are some people cruel. The New York Post's "Lard & Clear Loser" headline is exaggerated at best. Hopefully her new album will silence her critics, but I doubt it.
p.s. Nope, she didn't have a tummy tuck after all. I knew it!
Thanks for reading.

The public's expectations of how celebs should look is ridiculous anyway. Britney's body, whether pre or post children, was not bad. Granted, she should have chosen a more figure flattering outfit, she still looked more "thick" than fat. I wouldn't complain if I looked like that!
ReplyDeleteComming from someone who just had a baby...I am so jelous I wish I looked like that.
