DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10


*Britney Spears opened the MTV Video Music Awards last night and it was a disaster! Britney's highly-anticipated musical comeback was an embarassment! Britney was unprepared, forgot the words to her own song, barely did the dance moves, stumbled a few times and looked out of shape in her skimpy outfit. I was so disappointed! Britney has had so many problems lately and should have "wowed" everyone when she was ready to make a comeback. The celebrities in the audience looked stunned. It's such a shame when you compare last night's performance to the Britney of the past.

More drama at the VMA's--Kid Rock punched Tommy Lee! Can you believe those two are still fighting over Pamela Anderson? Police charged Kid Rock with misdemeanor battery and he could face up to 6 months in prison.
