By the way, who remembers Speed Racer on MTV?
I remember when they spent a lot of airtime covering current events and politics. And I remember when they actually played videos, and half-decent ones at that.

I must admit that i do watch The Hills every once in awhile. For what reason I don't even know. I find myself flipping through the channels and see it on and am like "Oh what the hell, there isn't anything else to watch".
Oh you remember that too? I was beginning to think I was the only one.
Time to take MTV out back like Old Yeller.
There's truth in advertising, folks.
When you come across one of those "reality" mind-melting shows on either VH1 or MTV, wait until the end credits.
Dollars to donuts it's put out by a company called "Mindless Entertainment". I kid you not. And that's what all that stuff is.
Mindless entertainment + embedded advertising = $$$$$$$

I remember when they first came on the air. No more staying up to watch Midnight Special to see a band.
I think the network has become irrelevant today. Nothing more than bad shows and talentless performers.

the real hilight...
the real hilight was the foo's with CL doing Darling Nikki. Of course you only got to see about 30 seconds of it!
I knew a girl named Nikki...

The saddest part of all this is watching everyone call Britney fat. Sends a real bad message to the rest of us.
Sure she sucked musically (as usual), her dancing was lackluster, she seemed groggy or drunk, she's still wearing weaves or wigs, and she was dressed like a used-up hoochie... but for cryin' out loud, the girl's had two kids, and I didn't see any beer belly goin' on. She's not in the shape she used to be in, but fat? Yowza, that's harsh. And guaranteed to make a whole lot of girls think that, by extension, THEY'RE fat too because they aren't thinner than her.

I have an old VHS tape laying around my house somewhere that has a couple hours of MTV on it from "MTV drops the ball 1993".
Seriously. I can watch that tape over.. and over.. and over.. and over..
Of course, the fact that I *watch* "tape" says something right there.
Something like 90% music videos back then, with the occasional 30-second blip of Kurt Loder stating the latest dirt on David Lee Roth. lol

I agree, that's a bunch of BS. Sorry, I don't see much fat on that girl. She looks as hot as she did before she had 2 kids.
At least she's not skin and bones and in need of a 2pc and a biscuit like half the women in "Hollywood" these days. I see "healthy" weight on her.
Britney looks healthy to me. At least physically in terms of looks. I think she's in the beginnings of a "not-so-midlife" midlife crisis. She needs mental help bad.
She's not fat, but she is "fat" for a pop star.
Whether she's now a mother of 2 or not is irrelevant. Her weight may be natural, healthy weight, but it doesn't really have a place in her chosen profession, unfortunately. I think people are judging her weight when compared to other pop stars, which are all naturally fitter than her. I never thought Britney (or Jessica Simpson) was the naturally skinny type, and now its just catching up to her, that's all. Lots of other popstars seem to be naturally skinny (while still being healthy).

Aside from the fact that the performance was awful...
I don't think she looked fat but that was a HORRIBLE choice of wardrobe. Not because of weight but because it's just pathetic, especially after her much publicized distasteful hiatus. Some people never accept that they'll never actually be the same.

I'm not a fan of Britney Spears, but I believe the criticism has been a bit harsh. Granted, the performance looked lazy and was poorly executed, but I don't see the point in mean comments. I think she looked really good. Yes, she was in an outfit that didn't fit her well, but calling her fat is absurd and demeaning. She's thick and I like that in a lady. I prefer my girls soft and not hard.
