Britney Spears blasted for being woefully unprepared, too fat, and totally out-of-shape

Britney Spears has been blasted for being woefully unprepared for her shambolic Las Vegas comeback. The fallen pop princess was branded a bust for her lifeless, lip-synching performance at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards show. Insiders say Spears showed up more than three hours late for rehearsals and was not ready for the high-profile event.

“She didn’t even get to Las Vegas until 4.30pm. It was ridiculous. The production people at MTV were freaking out,” an insider told the New York Post. “Nobody can tell Britney what to do anymore. No one can control her. She is a mess. She went to her hotel room and ordered a bunch of food and some frozen margaritas. She came down, like, an hour later with a frozen margarita in her hand.”

“The dance number was spectacular - without her. When the stand-in was rehearsing with the dancers in the hours they were all waiting for her, it was amazing. Then Britney showed up and refused to do anything. The dancers were supposed to lift and twist her in the air a few times, and that just wasn’t going to happen. The more complicated dance moves had to be erased because she couldn’t do them. The dancers were texting pals, asking them to pray for them. They were worried.”

Spears, who appeared out of shape in a revealing bra and panties outfit, clashed with MTV bosses over her appearance. “MTV wanted her to wear a corset outfit. It would have looked great and covered a lot of things up, but she hated it and didn’t think it was sexy enough.”
