Britney Spears opened the VMAs last night with the telltale sign of a notorious lip syncher -- completely covering her moving lips the entire time she opened the show.
That said, TMZ eats crow for declaring her career dead after last year's girthy performance. She ain't dead at all after bizarrely winning three awards and looking awfully hot -- minus the spaghetti weave.

6. I think Britney took some good baby steps. I can't imagine how it would have felt to go back out there after all of the horrible things said about her in the past year. I would have barfed right on the stage and never come back!!!!! Good for Britney. THE HOST SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!

8. I wonder how many meds she was on to even get that much out of her? It's obvious that the Spears camp negotiated that the less she said, the better. Anything more than a few scripted sentences would have put her into hot water. It's the same reason she didn't perform. There's no way she could have pulled it off, so they didn't even try.

12. She has to be coddled like a little baby because she is still in a very delicate state of mind. Rmember when she was on "How I Met Your Mother"? During taping, the cast was not allowed to talk about any of the controversy surrounding Brit, they were not even allowed to ask her how her kids were doing, So that pretty much left nothing for them to say to her but "hello". I just thought that was so funny, I had to share it.Apparently she is still a basketcase ready to crack.
Oh and thanks for that info on that website with all that incredibly nasty stuff about Brit Brit. I couldn't believe all the pics and the things I read about her.Blew my mind...... Everyone should check out..... idontlikeyouinthatway.com
once you get there find britney's name and you'll see 20-30 pages of some pretty wild sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. I thought she did great. She was the only reason I Tivo'ed it. The rest of the show was boring. Where are all the stars? I just think since they moved it from NYC, it just lacks an excitement anymore. It always seems so awkward now.

14. Seriously...........can't you guys get a clue??? She totally was NOT lip syncing...........SHE WAS NERVOUS!! Listen to her when she says "anniversary".........she totally got tongue tied. Can you lip sync that??

15. I don't think that she was hiding anything...either way she still was the biggest winner of the night and Brithey is back! I think she looked great and it was like seeing the old Britney again.
