Britney Fails To Deliver Ratings Gold For MTV

Were y'all still in a turkey coma or do you just not care anymore????

Britney Spears' much-hyped documentary "tell all", For the Record, didn't live up to expectations.

Only 3.7 million people tuned in Sunday night on MTV to see Brit open her heart.

Compared to other MTV ratings 'hits', Brit was less than impressive.

In its Season 3 heyday, The Hills averaged 3.9 million viewers per episode.

And, Tila Tequila's season one finale of A Shot At Love scored 6 million viewers.

Tila Tequila besting Britney?

Who would've ever guessed that!

      Re: SHITNEY You obv. know NOTHING about Madonna or her career.. STFU you are just making yourself look bad.. she herself DURING BRITNEY'S DOCUMENTARY said she went through her hard times and made her mistakes, she just didn't have the world watching it through a microscope, if the paparazzi was HALF as bad back then as they are now "Madge" would have been quite the fucking spectacle.. She was primarily known for being a "bad girl" her ENTIRE image was built on her being a sexually promiscuous liberated woman who did as she pleased.. lawrd its sad when you are that big of a fan of someone and know nothing about them :/

      I FOR ONE CANT - GET PAST SEEING HER BOIG HAIRY OL VAGINA - POKING OUT FROM THAT CAR - IT WAS A GROSS SIGHT AND THAT ENORMOUS THING HAS SEEN A LOT OF COCK - Who is she kidding !!! - GO AWAY you stupid girl !!!! and TAKE THAT BIG HAIRY MOT WITH YOU !!!!



    6. 106

      um Sunday night at 10 … yeah right! I watched it the next day.
      but who are you kidding Perez it's a documentary not a TV show, so 3.7 mil is good. Perez is stupidddd.



    7. 107

      I watched a little bit of it. It was her saying the same thing every time she was on camera..I am a hardcore britney fan and have been through everything. I felt she couldve been more sincere and less rehearsed



    8. 108

      I think she should learn to keep things more private. Always complaining about paps and then you want to whore yourself out for a dollar.



    9. 109

      Perez,
      You know perfectly well that it pulled three times as many people than usualy on that hour.
      If she really is that uninteresting, why did she shot to no. 1 on the itunes album list just a few hours after the release of her new album?



    10. 110

      do they count all the people who Tivo/DVR the show? Cuz I had it recorded on my DVR and I watched it last night…I really liked it…she was honest and real about it…



    11. 111

      Thats because everybody knows MTV reruns the same shows 24/7. It will probably be on everyday for the next month lol



    12. 112

      MTV NEEDS TO SHOW VIDEOS AGAIN….THEN PEOPLE WILL TURN IN. THEY HAVENT REALIZED THAT THE REALITY SHOWS ARE KILLING THE MUSIC. BRITNEY'S MUSIC IS KILLING THE INDUSTRY AS WELL…MTV WAKE UP, BEFORE YOUR TURNED OFF. THATS WHY THEY CANCELLED TRL, CUZ WE ARENT ALLOWED TO SEE THE FREAKIN VIDEOS.



    13. 113

      ummmm…definitely noone cares anymore.



    14. 114

      ummmm…definitely noone cares anymore, I know I don't!



    15. 115

      She brought in THE HIGHEST RATINGS for the TOP #1 SHOW IN BRITAIN for her appearance this past Sat. night. And got the best response too. So, yap all you like, P. She is still #1. I bet you buy her album too.



    16. 116

      well it didn't help that it aired on sunday the last day of thanksgiving weekend. some people were still traveling home that night! i actually caught a rerun of it on monday ’cause i forgot and sunday was my bday =]



    17. 117

      Re: Kateedid – hell yeah…loves you! this has been one of the most retarded comment blog i've seen in a while, it has been like a car wreck, i shouldn't look for casualties but i can't stop. finally, someone, you, said something that makes me stop beating my own head in with my lap top.



    18. 118

      I liked it



    19. 119

      The OLD Britney was destroyed by everyone who wanted something from her.
      By her fans who wanted more albums, more performances…just more Britney…By her managers who wanted her to make them more and more money…By Sam Lutfi who used her for money and even drugged her for that.And what did that result in?
      As a result we got Britney 2008. A woman who has been through hell…who has been through things I hope you never have to go through.
      And yet she is still trying to please us, give us what we want…but at the same time she knows that she needs to come first….she comes first and then us.
      The media and many people are continuing to bash her and tear her down.
      Here we have a woman who’s doing her best to rebuild her career, who’s pushing herself to the limit to please us again…But guess what?
      It still isn’t good enough for some of you.
      In fact, we’ve come to a point where nothing is ever good enough anymore.
      She’s making music videos, doing photoshoots, releasing a new album…you name it…and it still isn’t good enough…so what is good enough?



    20. 120

      lots of people watched it together with friends,lots of people got together so how can you count also lots of peole dvr and tivo those things that dont count either so when the get the numbers right il believe it didnt do well but theres no way to tell so ………….whatever perez



    21. 121

      and your getting really annoying thing with talking about her performances.saying she sang a song from her new album and done the same dance you said the same about beyonce.isnt that the fucking point.isnt that what they all do.dont you have a routine for each song and thats the dance so what the fuck are you on about.your a fucking idiot clutching at straws for something to give out about.you untalented bastard.



    22. 122

      Do you know what Perez, For someone who likes Hedi and Spencer, should we really take note. Im a HUGE Kylie fan and not a Britney fan but I have to comment on your comments. I'm a London club queen and never have I seen in the years an un-organized night in my life! Britney was never conf t play at at G-A-Y @ Heaven. It was the club promters and owners that mucked it it. So what she mimed, look at Kylie and Madonna!!!!!!!!!!!!! The whole PA makes up for this in their performance, i.e what us Brits stared as the X Factor. It does not mean they can sing but some one who keeps our hold on them and give Britney their due…. has anyone ever ask "How are you feeling today"?

      I couldn't care less. The last thing I want to do on a Sunday night is listen how another celeb complains her life is so hard. Life is what you make of it, celeb or not. Build a bridge, Britney.



    24. 124

      Hollywood Reporter said:
      "Britney: For The Record" averaged 3.7 million total viewers at 10 p.m.
      It also pulled in a 3.5 rating in the network's target demo of persons 12-34, tripling the time period average in that demo and all others.

      Doesn't sound too bad to me!



    25. 125

      no one really wants to hear that drugged up old hag say shit, people are loosing their jobs and homes, the last thing they need is another stupid sad fuckin story. who cares. all she wants is to sell that dumb record that sounds the same as the last one. instead of "for the record", it was more like "buy my record". the hills is better BS than her.



    26. 126

      do you think that americans are the only ones that matter… that show kicked ratings ass in australia! not to mention every other country… do you think australia know who the hell tila tiqulia is?



    27. 127

      Tila is cool but come on her blows.



    28. 128

      Re: && I got a thing for you! – shut the fuck up.madonna made mistakes but nothing compare to shitney.shitney used drugs ,try to kill herself and she is a bad mother.madonna never was nothing of that.madonna never used drugs.she is a strong person.she made sex book and that awesome.she made history,istead shitney is making mess



    29. 129

    30. 130

      I can't believe there are that many bored, stupid people watching crap like MTV. Please people, stop turning your brains into mush and turn it to TLC or Animal Planet or the History or Military Channel, ANYTHING else on cable that is educational and worthwhile. I really don't care to hear Britney whine and cry or see Lauren and Droopy Eyes have another argument in a club or some desperate lezbo famewhore parade around on TV. It makes it all the worse when Perez keeps posting crap on these worthless people!!! Utter garbage and a waste of time.



    31. 131

      I watched it, it's really good to see her getting herself back together, truly.
