Britney's laid low (well, other than that one thing) since her Sunday night VMA performance, but that certainly doesn't mean the rumors have been quiet around her. In fact, as Simon Cowell pointed out, the world is talking about her more than ever (not to mention that she certainly stole the VMA show). Simon's not the only celebrity coming to Brit's defense, Fergie let out an impassioned plea for people to give Spears a break.

To the public, there are a million reasons to criticize Britney but for MTV it's only been gold - the VMAs ratings were up 23% from last year!
Oh - and the newest detail about her VMA look, Ken Paves flew to Vegas to do her hair, but "made the professional decision" not to. To be fair, her hair has looked way worse but she still could have used the help.
Elsewhere in Britney, the record label is trying to overshadow her performance with more buzz about her album. Both People and EW came out with sneak previews on more new tracks and lyrics from her album. As great as it is to hear hot new lyrics about her "bad media karma" and being "Mrs. American Dream", there is still no word on whether the music is any good.
On an entirely different Brit note, she sold her temporary Beverly Hills house that she never really lived in and is back in Malibu. I'm sure Sean Preston, who turns 2 this week as JJ turns 1, is loving it. Just a thought that I'm sure she's heard before - maybe getting out of LA entirely would be best.

the ratings went up because people wanted to see the supposed "comeback"
don't worry next year the ratings will go down
1blah blah
i heard this on the radio. mtv execs are rating wh*res
2well that was nice of Fergie to stick up for Britney.
3Yeah, I read that Ken went there to do her hair, and she didn't want him, she wanted female hairdressers. Okaaaaaaay. Now, why wouldn't she want Ken Paves to do her ratty hair? Oh, that's right, she's insane.
4what a f*cking loser, she is such an idiot, she needs to go away far away and take care of those adorable boys, she makes me
5That is weird, I dont think she turned him away b/c he was male, bc she still hired him, but then when he got there, she fired him. He was probably like what the f**k, I can't even help you lol!!!
6Well that confirms it. Even bad press is better than no press.
How awful that the whole disaster is considered a success just because people are talking about it.
7I feel bad for her, I just have sympathy for her, and somewhere I think there is just a lost person. Hopefully someday she will comeback.
8I don't know, that's what I read on People's site.
I just wish she'd go away. How is this still news?
9I think people should leave her alone. No matter what she is always scrutinized. they give her crap for gaining weight, well beyonce gained weight too, but no Beyonce is perfect, god forbid they say anything wrong a/b her.
10I don't think she was FAT during her performance (is that what it's considered? more like walking around the stage dazed and confused) but she definitely picked the wrong outfit, the girl should not be wearing a bra and bikini bottom. She should have worn the corset they provided for her. She is just asking for all this criticism.
11Ohh boy I was wondering when we'd get the next Brit post...I'm all tuckered out on this topic LOL The best thing she can do now is to LAY LOW.
12Exactly, jmast. She's in some pretty good shape overall, but the bra thing was just horribly unflattering and added a good amount of pounds. In a corset, she could've looked really hot.
Assuming you never looked at her from the neck up, that is.
13You are sooo right tatti!! They only got ratings because people tuned in to see her flop....and she didnt let us down now did she?
I cant believe that anyone would defend her...that just makes me dislike Fergie more...she didnt even attend the show even though she won an award. Pah!
The hair thing is just weird...i read somewhere that she wanted to go brown for the show but they wouldnt do it. I dont think thats true because she just went back blonde and since they let her have her way on everything else, i doubt they would be able to turn her down about her hair color. Who really knows...?
14I know I agree jmast, she is def not fat. She's just not as thin as she use to be. Idk and she could have worn a corset or a bustiea, (dont think I spelled it right), anyways, it makes me mad how people are like she looked horrible. I mean her hair was bad, and she shouldn't have worn that outfit, but her makeup looked nice.
15Britney, Britney, Britney...
16MTV is was so wrong for this but you have to admit that it made for good laughs and gossip. Everybody loves a good "fall from grace" story especially when it involves celebs.
britneyyyyyyyyyyy.
17Yeah....she didnt look THAT bad...just so out of it and spacey. Like she was just walking through the dance...she was kinda just watching the other GOOD dancers doing their thing and trying to copy them. It was just so weird i cant get it out of my head. She wanted to put on an unforgettable performance...then she pulled it off.
18Nova I read that too...on People I think, that she wanted to be a brunette and pitched a fit when her handlers were like NO!
19Greggie, LOL!!!
Now whoever did the camera on the first shot, zooming in on her ratty extensions...now that was uncalled for! LOL!!! Ken Paves probably paid them to do that..hee.
20I dont know, I felt bad also when sarah silverman said something. That was low, what a b**ch
21I definitely got the vibe she didn't want to be there at all. Sorry, but she makes over $700,000/month...I don't think it's too much to expect just a bit more from this so-called "singer".
22
when will it end......... Just fix up or disappear already...
23Awww Greggie...her face looked pretty good, i thought. I could have died when i saw they did NOTHING to her hair though...that WAS bad!
She needs some pretty waves or curls in her hair to hide those short hairs on the top of her head.
24whew i'm not even going to go there i'm just tired of hearing about britney. the girl knows what she is doing. she knows perfectly well that acting crazy will get her attention and thats exactly what she wants
25I personally don't find Sarah Silverman funny, but she's a comedian, that's what they do. When others have hosted, Chris Rock, etc. they make fun of EVERYONE. If she's not professional enough to move on from that then she's in the wrong business. Just my opinion.
26Sarah Silverman also needs to disappear...her comments were just plain vicious and nasty..not even remotely funny just plain old rude
27Again, I agree with jmast. I don't like Silverman at all, but she didn't do anything out of the ordinary for a host.
28How pathetic for Britney that people are reduced to looking for nice things to say like her make up wasn't bad when we are supposed to be saying she was looking phenomenal. And if she wants people to stop picking on her staying out of the limelight for a year will be good. Captain dumbass needs to retire.
29Sarah Silverman did not say anything that everyone wasn't already thinking or putting on the covers of all the gossip magazines or on gossip sites. Again, just my opinion.
30And get over the sarah thing for f**k's sake.
31Thank you Nya!!
trying to say the same thing over and over in these brit posts gets tiring!
32I know I just dont find that type of comedy funny. I like ellen degeneres b/c she makes fun at every day things most of the time.
33Thank you Greggie!!! She made fun of 50 cent and Paris too, you don't hear them crying. And Paris has been made fun of forever, if anyone should be crying it should be her. Oh and for her Leave it To Beaver hairstyle. ha ha ha ha
34It is a good thing that K-Fed had a birthday party for the kids this weekend, cuz I bet that is the only party they are getting. Brit will now sink into the depressive state of her Bipolar disorder, and forget their birthdays, lay in bed and eat Cheetoes all day! Poor little muchkins!! They need a stable home to live in, or in about 14-16 years they will be in big trouble!!
35I've said it before, and here I go again... Compare Britney's looks that night to any of the other pictures we've seen recently. Whoever did her makeup did a great job- she actually looked something like the old Britney. And come on, her body isn't that bad, she's not jiggling all over the place! She should've chosen a more flattering outfit, but she is in pretty good shape considering how we've seen her previously.
I don't like Britney's music, or her in general, but you have to give her a little credit. She cleaned up well. The poor performance was what killed it all.
36i just dont think shes, ready, she obviously is'nt, i dont understand why she dosnt just take a break and come bk when she knows she has all the tool to do well, ie, music, stylist good rep....
37I know I've said it before, but part of Brit's job is to look GOOD, damn good. She made her millions off of being this little sexpot - she's never been able to sing so she can't go off that alone. Looking fabulous is part of the package with her, so yes, we hold her to higher standards than your average mom of 2 kids. Heidi Klum based her career off looking good too, and she looks phenomenal after 3 kids so it can be done.
38I don't think Silverman's funny, either. Doesn't mean she did anything wrong.
39
You guys always give me a good laugh..
40I agree lilflowa....Sarah is just plain gross and not talented at all. I have seen some of her previous comedy and i find her totally nasty and not funny. She is just plain mean...at least Chris Rock was funny and everyone knew that he was joking. With Sarah, you get the feeling that she is just jealous and being catty.
41I saw the vma performance and I feel bad for her. I think that the negative energy everyone puts out there found a home. But I did think that she looked good, as far as her body goes. She looked thinner than in some candids a day or so before.
42I think its wrong to pick on someones kids. That was not right, i dont care, you can stick up for her bc shes a comedian and thats what they do, but at least sarah be dignified enough not to slam on someones children.
43It's the negative energy's fault, not Britney's for not preparing, being medicated, and making horrible wardrobe and hair choices.
44How do you give someone credit for looking normal, give me a break. Even jennifer Garner outshone her, catch a clue people. Being a celeb is about the whole pacage not make up how many papers congratulate j.lo, Christina, Beyonce, rihanna on their make-up?? they talk about bodies, dress, hair, overall appearance. Why are we analysing makeup now
45And just to reiterate, I'm NOT saying she looked bad...but yeah, she could have gone with a better outfit or hell, even cut back on all the eating and heavy drinking she did for the whole week before. She made ZERO effort...and that's what irks me. There are so many others out there who bust their asses, and don't even get a shot and all Brit thinks she has to do is show up.
46She quoted Britney, she didn't just make up the comment on her own. While we're talking dignity, maybe it should start from Britney herself.
47exactly noverean, she does seem like its more of a jealous picking on type thing, like with Paris, and its not funny. Oh and did you hear what she said a/b amy winehouse, that her face looks jewish, she could only get away with it b/c shes jewish, but still its rude.
48What? She said they were adorable little mistakes...they are adorable. And she was working off of what the gossip mags said Britney called them: "mistakes".
49im sorry brit looked fat or maybe it was my big big screen, well not fat but biggger than any other performance, i only watched to see her f*ck it up, like i knew she would, she is so pathetic, BEYONCE IS NOT FAT she is naturally thick and boy does she look good would go so gay for her, what did silverman say, i guess i have to watch this weekend
