Surprised that they didn't! (Most people I know, ie people not here, did see it. Most people thought Britney looked not just drunk, but as if she'd been drunk for eight days; I concurred.)
The weight thing is such a red herring! We've known she isn't slim and toned these days for ages, because she has had two children and also keeps flashing us. It wasn't her belly which was disturbing, but her almost total lack of motor functions.
My ex-gf Naomi recently posted this on the LVW site:
you've met stephen, michaela's boyfriend. his sister, nina, was one of britney's backup dancers at the vma. she was the one in the front row on britney's direct left, as viewed from the audience. she flew on the plane to vegas with her, and transmitted info to stephen throughout the day of the vma's. suffice it to say that britney's blank-eyed stare MIGHT have had something to do with her (ummm, alleged?) consumption of adult beverages, both on the plane, and then throughout the night and during the day (the latter two reported ad-nauseum by all the wires and people magazine, among others). it's hard to look connected when you're still drunk or severely hung over. trust me, i should know.
Btw, if you scroll down, I've posted some equally classic (though more animated) Alice and Hilary performances.
