    She doesn’t look bad but she doesnt’ HAVE TO be half nacked all the time (even if it’s on stage…)!!!

  2. mm | 21/07/09

    Her body is pretty average, certainly nothing too spectacular. The outfits just make it look fairly terrible.

    She never looks genuinely happy.

  3. M | 21/07/09

    she looks… happy! Wow…

  4. Phyllis Gobbler | 21/07/09

    Her face looks funny. The tights waistband is particularly stylish. Not. However, I have a soft spot for Britney, and she looks fitter than she has done at times in the past.

  5. Mel | 21/07/09

    She looked much better as a blonde. The dark hair is so harsh on her. Those stage outfits are so trashy!! They are very unflattering.

    Her body was the best in 00/01. She still needs to lose a few more lbs.

  6. Cossey | 21/07/09

    I love the way she is looking at that pole!!

  7. PIZZAPIEPLEASE | 21/07/09

    She looks much better than she did, but age creeps up on us all and while she is not old, too old for jumping about like this! Quite sad that she cant be allowed to live her life. Just a wreck!

  8. Mary | 21/07/09

    in the first pic she looks like the devil !! dark hair doesnt fit her.. but her body looks good she isnt 17 anymore and she doesnt need to be stick thin ! she looks like a normal healty woman

  9. balanced. | 21/07/09

    Oh, dear.
    Make good choices, Britney.

  10. Alexina | 21/07/09

    She looks very, very good weight-wise.

  11. firstime | 21/07/09

    Gosh, is she way too confident or just trying to be someone else?

  12. Miss Jessie | 21/07/09

    I’m really liking the “large” body. If it was just a bit more toned, it would be great. Focus on strength and muscle and she’s there.

    I prefer blond with softer makeup too, but she changes it up so much it’s fun for the stage.

    I gotta hand it to her for trying to get her life back on track after her public meltdown. If it were me I would probably want to melt and drizzle down the drain.

  13. Natty | 21/07/09

    She should never have dark hair. Her body looks pretty good to me. I think she would have still looked pretty close to her peak early 20s body if she hadn’t had children and suffered her mental health problems. Her body has been through ALOT and it shows. I don’t think it is to do with her age.

  14. Miss Jessie | 21/07/09

    …oh by the way I think she is living her life the way she wants it. I’m not sure if it’s the best choice for her mental health and her boys, but I suppose it’s the only way she knows how to make a living.

  15. lulubelle | 21/07/09

    Too old? She is not even 30 yet, is she? Anyhow, I think her body is great but the makeup and outfit – yuck!

  16. Karen K. | 21/07/09

    Past her prime? She isn’t even 30 years old!

  17. Amber | 21/07/09

    I actually like her for once in these pictures. I do have to admit she makes great music. I don’t think she can sing but her music makes me want to dance and workout! Also, her age has NOTHING to do with how she looks for the most part! Look at Fergie or Carmen Electra who wear outfits that look just like this and pull it off fine. They are also 10+ on her! That being said I don’t think that the outfits are flattering to her.

  18. aoife | 21/07/09

    also i think if she just cut out living on starbucks she would be back to her best! i hope she’s getting all those drinks for free at least…

  19. Miss Jessie | 21/07/09

    Gbird – I opened Brit Spears thread in Forums in reply

  20. newgrrl99 | 21/07/09

    her face looks so puffy and bloated in the first picture.. older than she really is.. her body isn’t too bad but I dunno.. why does she look so puffy/unhealthy? I mean, I’m a lot older and bigger than her and I really don’t think I look like that! I think she needs to eat healthier probably and maybe do a cleanse or something to get rid of some of that bloat.. but her body does look strong… as someone else said, I wish she would go back to blonde, get better costumes and a good stylist for her everyday life.. I think just doing those few things would do a world of wonder for her!

  21. barbie | 21/07/09

    YUCK!

  22. Beckers! | 21/07/09

    i think she looks good. The body looks good too.

  23. estee | 21/07/09

    I agree with the person above who said she never looks genuinely happy — you hit the nail on the head there. I’m always left to wonder “What’s really wrong, Brit?” after looking at pictures of her lately. Even when she is smiling in certain ones, her eyes aren’t smiling, if that makes sense. Its one way to tell a fake smile from a real one.. cover up the smile part and if by just looking at their eyes, you couldn’t tell if they are smiling or not, its fake. If there eyes kind of turn up and/or squint, the smile is likely for real. Its in my body language book that I read last year!

  24. nic | 21/07/09

    wonder what her weight will do after her tour ends and all this dancing stops

  25. asiont | 21/07/09

    her new hair color is quite nice

  26. Claire | 21/07/09

    Great body or not, how can a grown-up woman dress like a slut all the time? :-/ It’s not sexy anymore…

  27. samba | 21/07/09

    i think they are pushing her too far again. ugh why dont they just leave her alon…just like they should have left MJ alone. Im sorry, but what kind of self worth and identity are you going to achieve while constantly prancing around being a money making sex pot machine for your parents since the age of 4 or something?! i really feel for her. i think her bod lookd great, but the make up is too heavy and she looks lifeless in her eyes…

  28. aoife | 21/07/09

    oh i just read on TMZ that she’s finally going to get her legal rights back!!! about bloody time!

  29. maddison | 21/07/09

    I usually skip the Britney pics/news. Taking a quick glance at these, I see how much she’s aged. On the surface, she looks to be in her mid-30’s, washed up and trying too damn hard. Hang it up lady!

  30. Les | 21/07/09

    I agree she looks pretty average, but the clothes make it soo much worse. She could definitely dress to make herself look skinnier but she’d rather be half naked.

  31. Creepy Doll | 21/07/09

    She looks very very thinner than before, to me!

  32. drama queen | 21/07/09

    oh boy… Here we go again…

  33. Draccae | 21/07/09

    I think she looks to be in pretty good shape, it’s just the clothing. It’s not flattering to begin with and it’s the wrong size. If she wore the proper size, it would not make her look pudgy.

  34. lulu | 21/07/09

    When will Britney’s people learn that she’d probably look fine if she wore half a costume. Instead they put her in underwear and we all groan…

  35. orla | 21/07/09

    her hair is vile

  36. fosse | 21/07/09

    when are people going to realize she is a XL fraud.

  37. Jessica | 21/07/09

    She looks good but nowhere near as good as pre-children Brit. And blonde definitely better suits her. That costume does nothing for her.

  38. Jenny | 21/07/09

    Weight guesses? 5′4 120-125. She looks to be about a size 2 here.

  39. heather | 21/07/09

    I feel so bad for her, especially after reading all these comments. 1) she has come a long way to get her body back to this, shes a mother of two – give her some credit. And she is NOT extra large 2) she made the decision to go into this industry – no one is pushing her back into anything. She wouldn’t do it if she didnt WANT to. 3) people are too harsh!

  40. s | 21/07/09

    Oh dear. That outfit is horrible and she doesn’t look so good either.

  41. Muggley | 21/07/09

    I think she has a great body- toned, flat stomach, athletic legs……..but god awful costumes!!!!

  42. italiangirl | 21/07/09

    not good…

  43. ellie | 21/07/09

    i just don’t get the horrible outfits they’re all wearing these days… britney, beyonce, jessica simpson etc. britney seems to be at a normal, healthy weight right now and i think she looks good – but those trashy outfits are just ridiculous. eww!

  44. londoncalling | 21/07/09

    Never liked Britney, never like her music, she looks awful. Wonder if she still likes what she is doing or she rather be home with her kids?

  45. Jessicarose | 21/07/09

    Yeah she looks the same.. as in GROSS.

  46. Megan | 21/07/09

    She needs to wear better clothes.

  47. deej | 21/07/09

    i think her bodies fine, it’s only because she doesn’t have that small a waist that she looks bigger than she is. there’s not really any fat on her.

    i never use to like britney when i was younger but seeing her deal with all these problems has made me really respect her. she’s worked her ass off for years, so give her a break, she’s doing great.

  48. mars in velvet | 21/07/09

    ehh.. I think she’s kind of in a bad cycle..She does this cause she doesn’t have any other options and people around her push her, on the other hand, she is too old for this stuff, and certainly would be rather doing something else..

    Its sad to see a person in such a dead end, I think the media and the press really need to lay of a bit, she obviously is going through a hard time, there is no need to mess with her psychology even more..

  49. Malana | 21/07/09

    Why is it that everyone is quick to defend Britney for looking like this, but then if some other celebrity looked this awful, they’d have nothing good to say about them? Britney is a ‘has-been’ with no winning attributes. The only thing that made her sexy was her perfect stomach back in the late 90s…she never had real beauty or anything. Just a painfully average southern bumpkin who got lucky. The only thing that’s keeping her image alive is photoshop and recorded music from other people.

  50. Mer | 21/07/09

    It always amazes me that people love and defend her so much. I never want to see her again.

  51. ElizabethJ | 21/07/09

    Main problem is her diet! She is always photographed with Cheetos and soda. She is obviously getting amazing workouts but just puts garbage in her body so she just looks ok.

  52. Duchess | 21/07/09

    Good God. Why have they put her in that? Most unflattering.

  53. sarah | 21/07/09

    Outfit fail.

  54. spankacular | 21/07/09

    Ummmmm why are her fishnets pulled up so high. It looks ridiculous. She shouldn’t pull them passed the shorts waistband. If she wanted more fishnet she could have went with a bodysuit, which would have been more flattering

    I love Britney. Her costumes don’t flatter her current figure tho.

  55. nnn | 21/07/09

    I hate her hair dark, but I love her:)

  56. edamame | 21/07/09

    I think she looks fine. She has never been super thin or ultra-fat-free and I don’t think she’s meant to be.

  57. edamame | 21/07/09

    I would also add that I think she has many more important things on her plate right now than a semi-starvation diet, (which I imagine it would take for her to look thin-enough for most).

  58. Jbo | 21/07/09

    Have you seen GWEN STEFANIE’S body lately? She’s got two kids – a baby under one year and SHE’S 40 – 40 years old and has BANGING abs and looks younger that Britney. Quit using the excuse that she’s got two kids and her body, blah blah blah! There are WAY older women in the music/movie business that have kids and still their bodies are toned and fab. Britney is a fat girl trying to get out of her shell – she’s gotta be careful cuz she’s got a linebacker’s body type.

  59. Dr. Truth | 21/07/09

    Can someone PLEASE tell me why she is trying so damn hard to act like a stripper? She’s a MOM for godsakes! She should clean up her image and stop wearing midriffs and freakin’ fishnets!

  60. Lauren | 21/07/09

    Bulimic stomach.

  61. M-L | 21/07/09

    I don’t understand why she’s always wearing so awful outfits? They’re horrible!!!!

  62. Maxx05 | 21/07/09

    Cossey’s going to like the last picture, I just know it! Britney has a body that could be fantastic if she dropped 10-15 pounds. She’s holding a lot of muscle which is great, she just eats too much garbage, so she coats all the muscle with fat. Her costumes are WRONG WRONG WRONG. They show all the flaws. She’s fairly cute and doesn’t have a clue how to show herself off to her best advantage. She always makes herself look cheap. It’s a shame.

  63. moonbel | 21/07/09

    Hair looks good

  64. Maxx05 | 21/07/09

    WHAT is bulimic stomach?

  65. mila | 21/07/09

    she looks awful….

  66. jake2006 | 21/07/09

    Hate the hair, but the body is a 100% turn around from what it was after children & K-Loser. Give this girl some credit. I don’t think her body is meant to be super skinny. I think that this is the best we are going to get out of Britney and her body looks great.

  67. ali | 21/07/09

    Why does she even bother to wear a mic? We all know the bitch lip-synchs. She’s STILL a no-talent has-been.

  68. Jade | 21/07/09

    Her body doesn’t look that bad. She looks fit and not flabby, but I think she’d look much better in she lost a little more weight first. She looks kinda bulky. And I agree career-wise, not when it comes to age, she’s past her prime. But at least she’s trying to make what money she can in the meantime instead of partying and acting wild.

  69. Matilda | 21/07/09

    Dr. Truth: She’s on stage, what do you expect her to wear? An apron and a nappy over her shoulder?

    I think Britney looks great weight wise. Her body has changed, she’s had two kids, nothing wrong with that. Not everyone needs to be skinny to look good.

  70. Dr. Truth | 21/07/09

    No Matilda. I think an apron and a nappy would look ridiculous. I just don’t think that all female “performers” need to take the tramp route, when it comes to their costumes. No one wants to see THAT much of her anymore and if I were a kid growing up, I’d be embarrassed to see my mom dancing around a stripper pole. But that’s just MY OPINION. :)

  71. zo | 21/07/09

    my first reaction was “aww” because she actually looks happy. i’m always rooting for her

  72. mj | 21/07/09

    Why is her stomache big , then flabby (flabby ecspecially when sitting down), and then in some pictures her stomache toned and and with abs tanned that is in the same concert pics all in the same night. Just wondering! I don’t understand how she goes up and down in weight so fast! So confusing LOL

  73. Sallyanne | 21/07/09

    you can tell someone pulled the KFC out of her handz and sort of coaxed her on stage with a trail of M&M’s….it’s sad rele =[

  74. Duchess | 21/07/09

    Sallyanne – ha ha! And they promised her Krispy Kreme if she was a good girl and did what she was told to do on stage. Yes, it is v sad.

  75. Amanda | 21/07/09

    She looks like a prostitute.

  76. Malana | 21/07/09

    Why is it that everyone is quick to defend Britney for looking like this, but then if some other celebrity looked this awful, they’d have nothing good to say about them? Britney is a ‘has-been’ with no winning attributes. The only thing that made her sexy was her perfect stomach back in the late 90s…she never had real beauty or anything. Just a painfully average southern bumpkin who got lucky. The only thing that’s keeping her image alive is photoshop and recorded music from other people.

  77. Sarah | 21/07/09

    People give this girl too much flack. While I don’t want her figure for myself, she looks healthy and seems to be enjoying herself –which should be all that matters. She’s obviously not rippling fat.

  78. balanced. | 21/07/09

    She has poodle hair. Yikes.

  79. sab | 21/07/09

    i think she looks good!
    sooo much better compared to her “crazy” days..
    I always feel sorry for her and hope she is happy.
    I think she has hit an plateau, cause with all the exercise she’s been getting she should be a lot thinner!

  80. safi | 21/07/09

    shes lukin bit beta. however i wud SERIOUSLY sack the stylist. bad bad choice in outfits!

  81. kimberly | 21/07/09

    i’ve seen the circus tour several times and she looks absolutely amazing! great, strong and athletic body. pictures really don’t do her any justice on this tour at all.

  82. Zuwee | 21/07/09

    Ugh average size body, horrible style…

  83. Kiki | 21/07/09

    She has a great body. There’s really no doubt about that.

  84. Lola | 21/07/09

    she has such a horrible body

  85. Milla_german | 21/07/09

    she is a better brunette, i think….she looks not that sick as when she is blonde and witzhout make up. I think the tablettes she is taking, make her face/body looking like that….psychopharmaka have got effects like that! Please….I hope, this time somebody is listening to my post, I think, its not her fault, that she is looking like that…and I say these as a nurse

  86. kady | 21/07/09

    that hair is terrible!
    and i would have thought she’d try to get back to her form before the whole…break she took from it all.i guess shes happy with her figure as it is which is good.

  87. my2cents | 21/07/09

    Trashy.

  88. so | 21/07/09

    her face looks so sad in the first picture… :/

  89. omg | 21/07/09

    None of her costume people she left her hair tie on her wrist before going on stage?!?!?

  90. Kayla | 21/07/09

    She does look good (or BETTER, I should say) but I agree with an above comment — she’s not old, but she is too old to be on stage dressed like that. Maybe when she was 21, but now it’s just tacky.

  91. kelly | 21/07/09

    Seriously, her outfits look like they were bought from a cheap halloween store, her hair looks like she just rolled out of bed, and her boobs don’t even fill up the bra she’s wearing.

    She could look a lot better with the right styling and wearing more flattering things..

  92. missthing | 21/07/09

    She is naturally VERY thick , just a very stocky muscular build. So I think given that, and having had 2 kids, that her body looks pretty great, but her styling is awful and she doe NOT look like a happy camper. Someone mentioned Gwen Stefani, The difference between her and Gwen Stefani is that Gwen had a sense of music and self and joy in her performing and her whole punky LA life before she got famous. Brit has had just the opposite – a dancing performing monkey all her life. Gwebn loves her life and loves what she does. Brit – not so much, clearly. So it shows in how they prepare their bodies for work.

  93. M* | 21/07/09

    wow, those saying she is past her prime are prob. the same ones who dont like talented actors like MERYL STREEP or SUSAN, or even MEG RYAN.. you dont like people//..once they get a certain age.. and i gotta tell ya when did 27 years of age become past her prime… MADONNA turned out some of the greatest… GREATEST songs in her early 30s!!!!! and she turned out the same poppy tunes as she did in her mid 20s….. britney looks amazing… SKINNY!!!! if you dont think this girls voice is special.. why can we always tell its her on the radio.. its called SPECIAL SOUND..VOICE.. the sign of a TRUE ARTIST!!!!

    get overyour selves, you skinny freaks~!

  94. Ayla | 21/07/09

    what’s with this girl’s outfits????!!!! does she look herself in the mirrow??

  95. Kira | 21/07/09

    Brit, honey, its totally possible to create an illusion of a narrower waist and flatter your athletic figure. But you have to leave something to the imagination to do that… Crazy I know.

    ::sigh::

    She looks terrible, and I’m continually amazed by how quick people are to defend her marginally attractive dubiously talented existence. Oy.

  96. Krystal | 21/07/09

    I think she looks great… very pretty with dark curly hair.

  97. kt | 21/07/09

    she has a nice slim & toned torso & butt, but her arms and legs are thick. that’s just her shape though- i think she looks fantastic!

  98. MMH | 21/07/09

    Britney as usual wearing the same trampy, trashy, stripper clothes; nothing new..

  99. holly | 21/07/09

    That takes total nuts to wear an outfit like that, at any weight. Good for her :)

  100. Alicia | 21/07/09

    I somehow like Brit–she can’t sing, but the music makes me want to have dance..and that is the point right?

  101. desaudia | 21/07/09

    Good lord! This chick isn’t old, just skanky and pathetic looking. She looks like she is trying to channel a look that simply should be left alone

  102. Jess | 21/07/09

    Decent body…much better than before. Nothing I would exactly want, but at least she is hopefully getting her life on track. She looks good with brown hair!

  103. M* | 21/07/09

    oh..and green bird.. why do you always talk crap about other people comments.. leave us alone.. you stared it with y our first comment.. you attacked mm.. cant you think of your own stuff??? whats wrong with u???

  104. happygolucky | 21/07/09

    That outfit is just plain depressing.
    In fact, the whole girl is depressing.

  105. Mickey von Dutch | 22/07/09

    There is nothing wrong with her body, but I truly feel for this girl. She must have made enough money by now to give up showbiz and start living a life that makes her happy. Up till now fame hasn’t done her much good.

  106. justlikehoney | 22/07/09

    in the first photo she looks like a sad clown.
    and her arms look like over stuffed sausages.

  107. sanementalcase | 22/07/09

    Her weight’s fine. What I’m more concerned about is the way she’s dressed. She’s supposed to be a role model. Since when did being a pop singer become about who can do the best stripper impression? This isn’t right!

  108. kelly | 22/07/09

    she’s in great shape, not too sure bout the costumes tho. i love britney :)

  109. Matilda | 22/07/09

    Dr. Truth, you’re right, I’d be embarrassed too if I was a kid and saw my mum dancing around like that. Luckily her two boys aren’t there to see her. Maybe I don’t mind seeing Britney like this because that’s the way she’s dressed most of the time when she’s on stage!

  110. M* | 22/07/09

    ah get off my butt, birdy!!! you crack me up!!!!!!

  111. Cossey | 22/07/09

    I love a good cat fight!!!

  112. rose | 22/07/09

    her body looks good. its just that outfit looks tacky and unflattering

  113. flederle | 22/07/09

    i hardly don’t understand why she is wearing that horrible outfit!, ’cause she isn’t that bad weightwise anywhy…

  114. AngelaB | 22/07/09

    She needs to take this outfit and any like it and burn them.

  115. kt | 22/07/09

    lol why?
    can’t she just wear an electric blue skin tight dress? that wouldn’t be skanky enough?

  116. whatsreallygoingon | 22/07/09

    nothing will make me stop rooting for brit! i’m a dork for her.

  117. Gina | 22/07/09

    Her body does seem to look a little better than the last time we saw her here…but as it always is lately, it’s the clothes, or lack there of, that are a huge let down for her.

  118. Marissa | 23/07/09

    Past her prime?? madonna anyone? MJ’s planned last tour..hello and they are 50+
    She’s done way better than any one of us would have. Been thrown into that scene the way she has. Give her a break..oh and if she couldnt sing she wouldnt have had her album hit no1 more than once!! stop critising and start praising!!

  119. Gem | 23/07/09

    Anyone else think she has really small boobs for her body size? I never noticed it before. Apart from that I think she looks fine, except from the outfit, she’d look so much better if she wore something different.

  120. Helena | 23/07/09

    she look awful (im saying that and i used to be a HUUUUGE fan) and shes so not slim.. i would rather say she’s cury

  121. Persephone | 23/07/09

    she does look sad in these pictures. she looks like she is juts going through the motions. I agree to a degree with the person that their are many women (including those not in Hollywood) who are older than Britney,and have two young kids but still have a better body. However, on the same token not everyone is the same. Britney has never been super thin. She has always had to work super hard for the body she had.

  122. Martin | 23/07/09

    You guys are silly…”large body” LOL..you must be crazy.

    In the flesh she looks amazing..she looks so much better than in paparazzi pics. I saw her concert two times last week-

    Theres nothing wrong with her body but those outfits are really disgusting and tacky. I wonder if its Britney herself choosing them? If not, she should fire her stylist. Also I do agree that dark hair doesnt suit her. She should go blonde again.

    She’s in an industry that bases its standards on appearance, so at least live up to it. This can be made possible in part by outfits tailored to accentuate what you currently have.

    The people who do her on stage costume need to stop giving her two piece numbers…Get more creative people! She is not 15 anymore! She could benefit from some cool one-piece flashy outfits like Beyonce…

    There´s nothing wrong with her body, but WHY on earth must she wear such tasteless stage clothes!?! Grow up and get yourself a classier designer, Brit!

    She’s still cute. I just think it’s about time she stopped trying to be sexy and go for classy instead. Maybe classy/sexy- showing just a little skin.
