I Doubt We Can Still Blame the Pregnancies

So my only excuse is that it is very early and I'm generally irritable, but I happened to glance at a Yahoo News squib about how poorly Britney Spears performed at an MTV awards show this weekend. Interestingly, to me, was the fact that Yahoo decided to blame her figure flaws on the fact that she had a couple of kids: "Spears still had the look of the young pop star- though notably aged by motherhood and endless tabloid tension."

I have nothing much to say about La Spears generally, but given how everyone is lamenting so strongly that celebrities bounce back from pregnancies so very quickly that it gives the rest of us an unrealistic idea of how our recoveries should be, I'm tempted to say that what figure issues she has come from a source rather unrelated to her children.

i saw said performance after hearing about it. as a mom, i will saw that although she doesn't look like she did before, britney still looks really good after having 2 kids back to back. the choice of outfit was the culprit for the comments (should have covered up a bit more) - i did not see the 'pouch' they were all referring to.

her stage presence and dancing are another topic entirely.
