I have nothing to say about her parenting skills (or lack of), bald head, or drug/drinking problems.
But why do so many people call her fat? Especially since the VMAs.
I'm not saying she's healthy, but she's had two kids and her body still looks pretty darn good.
Does anyone else think that, or do you think she's overweight?
(The reason I ask is, I right now have a stomach just like hers... I have thigh fat, and underarm fat, and I've always been told that's part of being female and you're usually unhealthy if you don't have it.)

She's in the eyes of the media constantly.  Therefore, they expect her to look stunning 24/7.

We, as normal people, are blessed to not have cameras in our faces all the time, therefore what is considered to be fat on Britney is amasing on us.

I think it's wrong.  I think Britney's body looks very nice but she dresses wrong for her body type.

When she wears those ultra tight clothes she definitely looks fat, because you can see it bulging off her.

So it's not that she's overweight... just gross because of how she presents herself.

I don't think that as an "average" woman she'd be considered fat at all. We'd look at her and think, "huh, she looks pretty good!"

However, Britney Spears is not an "average" woman. She's a mega superstar who gets paid to look good. That's really all she's got to sell; she's got an awful voice. Besides, when your body is all you have to sell, it probably shouldn't look like everyone else's. Note the other artists who actually have talent and their weight isn't really analyzed (Jill Scott, Christina Aguilera, etc).  Her real talent has always been having a nice ass and shaking it for the camera, but when she performed at the VMA's she was obviously out of shape and didn't even put on a convincing performance.

No, she's not fat. But she's quickly turning into one of those "why are you famous, again?" kind of people.

Of course, for me, she's always been one of those.

I don't think she has an awful voice. :(

Omg, have you ever heard/seen her live performances?! She lip-synchs to the fast songs (I don't have a problem with this, since it's just hard to sing and dance at the same time), but when she does a slow song it's outright vomitous. She's off key, straining, has no strength to her voice - it's just wrong. I guess it's hard to sound good when you don't have someone in a booth modifying your voice.
she is fat... *shrug* i condier what she is over weight and out of shape.
she's out of shape and fat in comparison to how she used to look.  not fat in comparison to normal standards though.
The problem is that she wears incredibly trashy, unflattering clothing and a badly applied fake fan. I think she looks average but I don't want her body.
"I'm misses 'she too fat now she's too thin'..... you want a piece of me?"

lol

I think she's fine weight wise, her life is totally messed up, but I really wish people would just let her BE.... make a few more albums and drop away into has-been status and just live out the rest of her life in peace.  Poor Britney!
I like her music but I find it hard to have sympathy for her. She's an attention whore. If the media stoppped following her around she'd probably feel unloved and kill herself.
I'm sorry, but I personally think that Britney has a nice body. Yes, she might not look like what she did pre-motherhood, but I think her body looks pretty good. I would be very proud of myself if I had two babies and I had a body like that.
shes fat...not as much anymore...

and shes way fatter than what going on in your profile pics.

Dancers should not have guts...unless you are applying at Jabba's palace.

What do you expect when she's always going for take out. But fat is too strong of a word, Queen Latifah and Camryn Manheim are 'fat'. You'd really group her with them? Britney's just out of shape from what I saw.
I really think she's either going to pull herself together to be a great mum and shy out of the spotlight (with medical help, of course.) or just live in the breakdown and be found dead in a club very soon.
*sigh*

I was a bit suprised that the only two guys that responded flat out said she's fat, but all the females thought "out of shape."
She really does need to pick out classy clothes and make sure she's wearing pants before she goes in public. (It's bad enough with all the no-underwear-getting-out-of-car-flashes, but now she doesn't even bother with the skirt.
She sings better than me, and better than some people I hear on TVs (like SHAKIRA, dear god) so I still think she's got an okay singing voice.  Nowhere near as amasing as the Backstreet Boys or anything.

I LOVE the Backstreet Boys. Haha.
But I like Britney's voice. Well, not currently, cause she's got that grisly "My lungs are rotting" tone whenever I hear her speak on the tele. Shakira is a right nightmare!
Im not a guy.
LOL

Queen Latifah and Camryn Manheim = really fat or obese.

Not so much for QL as shes been shaping up.


Brits in shape..just covered in a layer of fat too.

Pitch correction creates pop stars.
Oh my bad, I totally didn't look at names. I'm real dumb- Chop_chop, I thought Minie13 was a guy not you =P
That's 3 people though, one female so far.

I have no idea who Camryn Manheim is. But Queen is very big.
Usually male stars tend to be bigger. I don't think the get the same crap that women stars do.
Like I posted in another thread on the fitness forum I would much prefer to have Madonna's body than Britney's.  I think Madonna has done wonders keeping herself in shape and stamina and she's had children too.  Plus she had some bad press early in her career and did some controversial things but she is still a much better person I think and someone I would prefer my girls want to be when they get older vs spears. 
I'm not a guy either....
