I feel bad for her, I was looking at her face while she was performing and she looked like she was really upset about something, I do believe she heard that Silverman person, she looked like she was almost in tears and was trying her best to stay out there and do what she came to do. I've never been a big fan of hers but I think she's had it rough in the spot light and everyone needs to be supporting her, not bashing her.
She looked beautiful.[/quote]


I read on one of the gossip sites that she could see herself on big t.v.s all around the venue while she was performing and that after she got off stag she started crying about how awful she looked.

It's true that lots of celebs older than her (Gwen Paltrow, Elle McPherson, Heidi Klum, Gwen Steffani ) seem to have the same body pre-and post-pregnancy, but they're freaks, most of us can't pulll that off!

However with Brit, she needs to face up that she doesn't look like she did at age 17 and dress accordingly. I agree that she's not fat. but she does have alcoholic bloat look which affects her looks and performance, her costume was unforgiving, and she would not have made the first cut for a chorus line anywhere in Vegas, the way she looked at the VMA. That's just a fact.

What I really suspect from her recent behavior is that she is self-medicating with the booze and pills for a very real and I'm sure very painful case of post-partum depression -- the best thing would if she got off of all the drinking, diet pills etc., and addressed that or whatever addiction or underlying medical condition is causing her deterioration.

I don't think she is fat. At all. One thing that I have struggled with, is the fact that you lose muscle mass when you are pregnant. You do, your body simply becomes softer, and that happens even if you exercise. It takes a while to get all that muscle mass back. She had two kids pretty much back to back, and this soon after, she isn't going to look like she did when she was 18 years old...she is older now, and a mother of two children. Your body changes.
