Dear Video Music Awards viewers:

We’re probably all tired of talking about Ms. Spears and her disastrous performance by now…but I’d been thinking about The Biggest Loser premiere last night and I just had to get this off my chest:  Britney isn’t fat.

Yes, she’s bigger now than we she last appeared on the VMAs.

Yes, she would have looked better in the corset.

Yes, I’m sick of this alter-stripper persona that she has taken on.

But dang—I thought she looked pretty good for someone who’d drinking frozen margaritas non-stop.  And heck, I’m just happy she didn’t wear those ugly brown boots onstage!

You can call her a train wreck, bad mother, lost child all you want….but let’s lay off the weight.

Yeah, you heard me right.  I’m actually defending Britney.  But make no mistake—I’m only defending her on this one issue.  For those of you who read my first open letter to Britney, I still stand behind everything I said then.

Please don’t forget—most young girls have it it rough out there these days; they don’t need to hear us calling other people (especially someone whose probably a Size 4 in our real world) fat.  What they should hear is that Britney is RESPONSIBLE for her problems.  If she honestly felt like a ‘fat pig’ (her words, not mine), than she should have danced more and drank less.  She had every opportunity to control her destiny and she screwed it up.

And let’s admit it.  A majority of the women who watched that show from their couch wished they looked as good in that small get-up.  (Of course, most of these same women would have probably covered themselves up more had they been put in the same situation).

Having said that—Britney’s last major VMA performance was years ago.  How many of us can say we look like we did 3-4 years ago?  And keep in mind—she’s had two kids since!

I have not had two kids…and I wish my body could look like that in a bikini.  I’m not saying the gal had her usual abs—or even painted on abs (I’m talking to you, Mariah Carey)—but her stomach definitely wasn’t rolling.  And if she was sucking it in, she deserves a Moon Man for a fine performance.

So focus on her stupidity, her poor dancing abilities and her questionable parenting skills all you want—but get a grip on reality:  Britney isn’t fat.

Sincerely,
V
