WTF says – reply to this

56

HEY DIPSH*T PEREZ..WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR PHOTO'S?????

Fat people always want to bring a person down!
Her excuse is….SHE HAS HAD 2 KIDS BACK TO BACK, AND EVERYBODY'S BODY IS DIFFERENT! WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS NOTHING, BUT A BIG TUB OF LARD! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW B..LOOKS..WHAT MATTERS IS THAT YOU ARE ON HER TASSELS..LIKE ONE OF HER FANS!
YOU ARE A JEALOUS SWEET @SS!
Milton says – reply to this

57

Perez your an A-hole. I don't even like Brit that much, but I think the video looks awesome. Just leave her alone for once. She does something right and you still find something to complain about. Like the big QUEEN that you are. You should of had some post production work done for that vh1 shit show you did. Go on Brit!

Re: SusieQ – IF YOU WERE WORTH SOMETHING, I AM SURE THAT YOU WOULD BE KNOWN, BUT YOU ARE NOTHING, SO SIT BACK, AND LEARN SOMETHING..FAT COW!

first of all-the airbushing is not that extreme-second, they airbrush EVERYONE–hell, they even airbrush eva longwhoria and she's teeny!! give it a rest perez–take the hint that EVERYONE is giving you and give it a rest–find a new target–or please let us know why you loathe Brit so much that you must continually bash her–i know she makes it waaaayyy too easy but enough is simply enough! maybe she wouldn't be so crazy if people didn't keep trying to push her over the edge–oh wait, that's what you are trying to do! how sad you must be inside-and how cruel and evil to sit around praying for someone's downfall. I love you perez, but this has to stop!

Exactly how many seconds was that video allowed to stay up there before Britney's people got it taken down?
Megan says – reply to this

62

Sorryy to say this, but they do it to EVERYONE!!! theres no artist that they dont make look thinner….all the big artists out there! britney just another one of them…annd plus, its better that way. either way, she doesnt look that chubby in her before pic. she looks great. LOVE THE VIDEO. keep it up, brit.
Darv says – reply to this

63

Don't single out Britney for this. Considering every other person in Hollywood undergoes the exact same airbrushing and photoshopping to 'make them perfect'.

Hey, ok i get it that you know she has a new video and it's actually quite good .. and for once .. since it looks as though she is trying .. WHY THE HELL do you have to post this here .. don't you think people can find out for themselves .. and if not .. it's not like you're too fucking skinny Perez!
you're probably 4 times bigger than she is ..

overall , i think the video is great .. and she looks nice . ;D

She is a beautiful woman either way. It is so unfortunate that a young woman who is so obviously plagued by physical and mental health, as well as substance abuse, issues, has been put on a very public skewer for the profit of the music industry, tabloids and blogs. Considering her apparent current condition, it is every bit as exploitive as relentlessly mocking a child without regard to any boundaries of decency or compassion. Britney is an extremely troubled woman who seems to have battled eating disorders, substance abuse, divorce, loss of custody of her children, and erratic mental health issues in the public eye, all the while having been duped into believing that she can 'revive' her career in the midst of this public relations nightmare. The entertainment industry will make their final buck off her even as her public appeal has been reduced to the sort of curiosity that accompanies an accident by the side of the highway. I would like nothing more than to hear nothing about Britney, and to know that she has gone home to her family, entered therapy and is recieving appropriate treatment for her myriad other issues.

Okay Perez get over it. Stop trashing her. The point is it is actually a good video. Her dancing is decent… and she looks great when she's heavier too.
amanda says – reply to this

78

YEAH RIGHT! She's lost weight, go on X17 and look at her now, she's definately lost weight. That link is a fake link anyway, it doesnt even work so whoever informed you is WRONG.

perez u knw this is bullshit u just couldnt keep ur bitchy mouth shut and let britney have lik 5 mins of glory!!
amz says – reply to this

81

hey perez,

I just wanted to say that i loved your vh1 show. Congrats on all the success. I check your website daily..I love the celebrity gossip. Keep it coming! But please, one thing i ask of you is stop being so mean and cruel with Britney and what's goin through these days. I know she's been very successful with her career and now shes hit rock bottom but shes only human and she's obviously going though a lot. Just let her be and leave her alone.
shizz says – reply to this

82

wtf the link doesnt work, are you retarded?
blahbla says – reply to this

83

I was wondering why she looked like a LINEBACKER throught the video. It's because they slimmed down her bottom half but left her top alone.
David cabimas says – reply to this

84

just like jennifer love hewitt said, look at the message you send you the younger fans of britney by making her look fat, u send thr wrong message perez, one thing is atacking britney and once differente is showing an erratic perspective of what fat or thin is! u dunno how many ppl u can influence with your page, i use to like your comments and stuff but some others like this time i recognize how heartless you are!
Evelien says – reply to this

85

Seriously, the video is amazing, so is the song.
Let the girl be. You are still twice bigger than her.

And she gave birth to 2 children.

Just admit that she did a pretty good job this time. Give her some credit. You put the image on her what you want her to be.

OKAY NOW THAT THE "FIRST" DELAYS ARE OVER…
I THINK PEOPLE CAN STOP POSTING THAT THE LINK DOESN'T WORK
I THINK IT HAS BEEN SAFELY ESTABLISHED THAT IT IS NOT, IN FACT, WORKING. LIKE AT ALL.
NOPE. NADA.
PLEASE RESIST THE URGE TO "INFORM" PEREZ

Re: BRITNEY SPEARS –

Somehow, for the first time, I have the feeling this could actually be Britney herself…
That humor is hers all the way.
Erika says – reply to this

93

Perez, isn't this the pot calling the kettle black? Your fat ass has a lot of nerve commenting on someone's weight. At least Brit has a REAL job. Stop acting like every other loser male in her life - quit hating on her fame and just appreciate her for what she is (something you'll never be) - a true entertainer.
Lala says – reply to this

94

My guess is that Britney was devastated when she saw this, and got them to take it down. She had no idea that you could airbrush video…and thought she really looked like that. How else do you explain some of the "outfits" she wears in daily life. She thinks she looks that thin!

I am not a tiny girl myself either. I think her current body is just wonderful, she jsut needs to learn how to dress it to her advantage a wee bit better.

Perez you are a DOUCHE. How is it possible that EVERY SINGLE DAY you put some shit up that isnt true or links that dont work. Get your head out of Miss Hiltons ass and do some FCKN WORK!!!!
