Why The Celebrities Are Not Like Us
Manolo says, for ordinary peoples, being forced to appear on stage unprepared, in your underwears, is the stuff of nightmares.
P.S. Spirit Fingers interprets the phrase Gimme More.
P.P.S. The Manolo and his friends will be back later today with more about the MTV Video Music Awards, or as the Manolo likes to refer to it, “The Night of the Thousand Imbeciles“!

You’d think she’d run a brush through her weave before getting on stage!
This is so sad. This woman is younger than me, and she already looks like she’s 40. She can’t even afford proper clothes any more. What a waste of a life.
I’ve seen a lot of people talking smack about her belly (“paunch instead of tight”, ack) but she looks terrific for having borne two babies. Whatever else may have gone wrong with the night, I hope we give her at least that much credit.
A wig would have been better than the weave. Speaking of weave…does anyone else think she was still drunk from the night before?
I feel bad for poor Britney. She’s clearly grasped the concept that Sex Sells, but she doesn’t understand that she’s only going to regain her former pop star glory if she presents herself as a kind of living Bratz doll–sexual, but in a cartoonish, vaguely plastic way. After all, while there’s definitely an audience out there for tired-looking women who gyrate around poles in their underwear, it’s not the kind of audience that’s going to finance her big comeback.
All I can say is….trashy…
