while i didn't bother to waste any energy (or endanger any brain cells) watching britney spears', ahem, comeback, i certainly read enough about it. and by all accounts it was the entertainment disaster of the century. from the flabby britney to the clumsy britney to the 'phoning it in britney' who can no longer lip synch. and, of course, all the supposedly shocked faces in the audience.
one person notably shocked--and outspoken about it--was kanye west (surprise!). the oft-public whiner went on record to complain about spears' being picked to open the MTV VMAs (this thing is still around?!) rather than the preppy rapper, he of the album debuting next week.
"maybe my money's not right. maybe my skin's not right," west is quoted as saying. yeah, buddy, that's it. you weren't invited to open because you're black. your "genre" of music has taken over every crevice of this country and still the man is just holdin' you down.
how 'bout this, wiseguy, maybe it's because she's a tabloid queen and you, well you just manage to stay away from negative publicity for the most part. yeah, it sucks not being recognized for complete idiocy and bad parenting (like driving with your 1 year old on your lap, running out of gas, a messy public tussle with your mom, exposing your post-birth labia). but, hey, just chalk it up to one of the few downsides to actually acting like a normal human being.
it has nothing to be with you being black. it has nothing to do with you being poor. you're incredibly wealthy and evidently popular enough to be asked to cameo on entourage. so what the hell is the big deal about being just another act on the VMAs? do people really watch that thing anymore? quit whining and enjoy your money and fame. besides, that could be you in 10 years.

Kanye's just an arrogant ass with a chip on his shoulder. Shut up, "Mr. West"!
I have to confess I watched the opening, just to ogle at the trainwreck. It was exactly that. She looked like a zombie. Moved exactly like one too.
I hate Sarah Silverman too, but her joke about the kids being the two cutest mistakes was priceless.
i couldn't find MTV on my cable if i spent hours looking for it. i'd forgotten even existed until i saw the kerfuffle over shitney spears. you must've had a really hard week at work to want to watch that. it is, however, really fun to make fun of the stupid. so i'll make that your excuse. :)
