More On Britney’s VMA Meltdown

Are you guys tired of reading about this yet?  I’m really surprised at how much the press is harping over it, but I probably shouldn’t be!  Here are a few more details about what went down the hours before Britney took the stage in Vegas.  These are, of course, rumors but they sound believable to me:

On Saturday, the day before the VMAs, Spears was scheduled to arrive at rehearsal at around 1 p.m. Our spy said, “She didn’t even get to Las Vegas until 4:30 p.m.  It was ridiculous . . . The production people at MTV were freaking out . . . Nobody can tell Britney what to do anymore. No one can control her. She is a mess.”

To make matters worse, when she arrived in Vegas, Spears didn’t go straight to rehearsals.   “She went to her hotel room and ordered a bunch of food and some frozen margaritas,” the spy said. “She came down, like, an hour later with a frozen margarita in her hand.”  Yup, sounds like Brit.

When Spears preformed on Sunday, she stumbled a couple times and couldn’t remember the words she was lip-syncing. She covered her mouth at one point but by the end of the song had simply given up any pretense of singing.

“The dance number was spectacular - without her,” said our spy at rehearsal. “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 twirl 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.”

“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.”

“The dancers were texting pals, asking them to pray for them. They were worried.” Now this sounds exaggerated…
