she looks good here!

I am happy that things are looking up for her!

She needs to get rid of those hideous shoes -- she wears them EVERYWHERE. They look exactly like a pair sold at GAP four years ago during fall (this was during my period of part-time retail-shilling college). Get this girl some Loubs and we can start talking!

Please... she's so high in this picture...she's not fooling me. That crappy makeup and ratty weave is a result of partying. She needs to get herself in a real program and not a 'comeback' look good for the camera program. Realize Britney is surrounded by people who make money off her life and more off her death just like Anna Nicole Smith. She'd better educate herself and get a clue real quick before it's too late. You're not doing her any favors applauding her for sinking further in a hole.

She looks good here?!?! SERIOUSLY?! Are we looking at the same pictures?!

Rewarding crap...that's the American way.

so the lack of focus doesn't bother you? My mother's an alcoholic I should know.
Take your eyes off her clothes... does she look like someone who's just been revered by her peers to you?

Scratch that...that's the ENTERTAINMENT way. Britain's do it too!!!

I agree...she looks a little spacey here

she looks bad here. I don't know how did the stylist manage to make her look so decent (in comparison to her normal look) at MTV gala.

I agree about lack of focus - it does look worrying. But not surprising.

i think she's looking better these days... SHe doesn't look GREAT here but I'm happy to see her moving in a positive direction...

I'm with you Shenan. And remember, she's reportedly on several medications to help with her "issues" whatever they are. Meds can make you glassy eyed and sleepy looking. I'm not saying that IS the case, I'm saying it could be and the fact is no one really knows.

Who DRESSES this girl?

point well made Mykie. And do remember that Heath was on meds for 'issues' also.
When are their 'fans' going to love them by telling them it's not cool to self-destruct?

I don't think she's "better" at all, and she clearly doesn't look like it. As sad as it was that the public basically cheered her on while she crashed and burned, it's equally sad that everyone is pushing her into a "comeback" that she clearly isn't ready for. Why her father hasn't put her in a live-in facility to help her with her obvious depression issues is beyond me.

If she had a bitchy black pair of high heel boots we would not be having this discussion. How you can say she looks buzzed or cracked out from 2 photos?

I don't know what's up good or bad, but I agree that though she did somewhat resemble the "old Britney" she still seems a bit...off? I don't think she's outta the woods yet either.

Yeah, she looks like sh*t - I've been making comments about her vacant stare for weeks. If she is indeed mentally ill, she needs to get out of the spotlight & focus on her health.

hope the songs'll be good...

I think she looks sad.

Bri, at least it's not those Brown Boots! She's trying!

And for the record Mesay, I said several times before the VMA's that she did NOT deserve to win and just giving her the awards for "Pity" would do NOTHING except re-inforce what SENT her into that downward spiral in the first place.

Don't get me wrong, I'm tickled she won. She didn't deserve them for THIS Video, but there were many others that she was snubbed on that DID deserve them, so I was thinking this was the industry's way of saying "Hey, we're sorry for the role we had in your breakdown" because no matter how you slice it, the industry DID have a HUGE part in that.

But again, giving in to her is not going to help her, it's only going to make her fail again. She needs "Tough Love" and I'm a pro at that. LOL

If you don't like Britney, then why do you even bother commenting on her? Mesayme, nobody's perfect. Everyone goes through depression and addiction. I find it sad that everyone would critize her, when they don't know anything about her personal life beyond photographs and tabloid lies.

your quote: "Take your eyes off her clothes... does she look like someone who's just been revered by her peers to you?"
I think thats a ridiculous statement. Britney clearly has friends and is not always worshipped.
your quote: "Realize Britney is surrounded by people who make money off her life and more off her death just like Anna Nicole Smith. She'd better educate herself and get a clue real quick before it's too late."
How about you get a clue and quit being jealous? Everyone parties and its no big deal.

I think that Britney deserves to win the VMAs awards. It's about time.

She may not look her best, but haven't we all..??

i think she is unhappy! last weeks, she seems more sad ... that's my opinion ...

No one is home.

I think it is wishful thinking on our part to think she is recovered. She is cleaned up a bit, but recovery for all her issues is going to take longer than 6 months. And she does look stoned, or really tired. Not an expert on that type of thing. She definitely looks like she is in a different zone.

i always love britney's collaborations - the one with madonna was great as was the one with the ying yang twins. i hope that we hear some great stuff from this new album and that maybe a tour will follow!

I dont see nothing wrong with this picture, she is just not looking at the camera, maybe she is tired of being followed every time by paps.....

''If you don't like Britney, then why do you even bother commenting on her?''

Because it's not a Britney fan Site.Everybody can comment on everybody like them or not. And why would someone be jealous of Britney Spears???

Well, I just hope for her sake that things will get better. She may not have fully recovered nit it would be sad if things would get any worse for her and her kids than what it already was. Or still is.

@Brendelwoman - I agree. I think that, from what we've seen over the past year, Britney needs some serious help. Yes, she seems to be doing better, but I think a LARGE part of that has to do with the fact that her family is re-involved in her life and controlling many more aspects of it. The aimlessly-driving-around Britney of old is gone -- because her family is in control. So a lot of the real "out there" behaviors are not for public consumption anymore.

I think that to really make a full recovery, she needs to get out of the limelight for awhile. Having to worry about things like absurd VMA appearances is silly and causing unnecessary stress. I'd love to see her just go home to Louisiana for awhile and chill with her family and kids and not have to worry about a bunch of loser paps following her everywhere (or, alternatively, not having to worry about the theories posited on message boards ). That's my two cents!

She kinda looks sad and not so good .
But im still happy for her .

I like Britney. Always have..always will...shes just a regular chic and she never bores me. All the judging and stuff and all the things that people thinks is a big plan or scandal are nothing, they are never really anything she just wants to live a life of a regular girl like most of us and for the most part I think thats just what shes trying to do. Its weird how much time people spend so much time trying to figure her out. Theres nothing to figure out or discover about her. Shes just a rich girl hangin out in hollywood.

Maybe if the papz stop following her, her life'd be better..

Collaboration with Akon? How original...

Wow BritBrit actually looks good here!

She looks good.

I loved her last album, but Britney...PLEASE NO AKON. He's a horrible tranny!

Britney looks fine. You'd look a bit washed-out too if you had 50 cameras flashing in your face.
