Britney Spears disappoints at VMAs

 Britney Spears gave her “comeback” performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. NY Daily News reports:

“Britney knows she's on thin ice. When they agreed to the performance, they sat her down and told her she should not be going out, and instead focus on rehearsing and resting,” an insider said. “She seemed to be thankful and appreciative for the chance, but who knows with her? MTV made it clear that her usual behavior will not be tolerated.”

Britney clearly heeded the warning - and spent the entire weekend partying :

The pop tart was spotted sipping a frozen margarita before her VMA rehearsal Friday. Then Spears showed up at Snoop Dogg's bash at Body English in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino about 1 a.m. yesterday in a cute, black strapless dress. She had her people immediately call man-of-the-moment Criss Angel to meet her, sources said. Spears has denied the two are dating. One source said, “She's totally phoning this in. She doesn't seem to care how this goes. She's been drinking a bunch and not putting her all into rehearsing.”

Supposedly Criss Angel was consulted about adding magic to the performance.
