She didn't perform a note but Britney Spears still managed to steal the spotlight at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night. Following last year's disasterous over-weight, lip-synching horror show, Brit walked out, spoke four lines to welcome everyone and then walked off again. She returned several times to be presented with a lot of moonmen hardware for her videos.
But you know that when Britney's non-performing appearance is the only thing to talk about the next day, that the show sucked. And who's idea was it to hire a no-name British douche to host the show?
Britney opened the show by taking part in a forgettable comedy skit with geeky "Superbad" actor Jonah Hill in which the young star tried to kiss the singer while distracting her with "relaxation tapes."
After that, Britney picked up her first Moonman for Best Female Video. She called the moment "an honor" and thanked God, her fans, her family and her "beautiful boys." She repeated those thanks later in the show, when she took the Best Pop Video, also for "Piece of Me," professing to be "speechless" but saying, "This means a lot. Thank you."
But by the end of the night, when a more mature and happy Britney picked up Video of the Year, she professed to be "in shock right now." Saying she wasn't expecting the award, Spears again thanked her family, adding, "I just want to dedicate this to all my amazing fans out there for all of your support."
