Dear Gossips,

It was sooooo bad. But not spectacularly bad. Which is why it was soooo bad.

Britney’s assy comeback at the VMAs in Vegas, of course. Who else?

Admit it. You watched because you either wanted to see her kill it or trip off her weave and fall off the stage. Britney being Britney, however, she succeeded at pulling off the one thing, the one thing that made the entire exercise not only completely useless but also completely uninteresting…because if she had actually gone down in a ball of fire – slipping on her chicken fried grease or choking on her gum – if she had actually turned into a colossal trainwreck and crashed and burned before our very eyes, THAT would have been entertaining….even classic.

Instead, she just stood up there and sucked mediocre, flat sh-t. I felt totally ripped off. And also totally embarrassed for MTV – as my degenerate husband would say: the entire show licked balls.

Cutting off performances after 30 seconds, jumping around from room to room, the lighting was atrocious, with absolutely no fan support to build excitement, the VIPs in the audience looked bewildered, and clearly no one bothered to stop and think how shooting in a “club environment” would affect the viewers at home. Tearing it up on the dance floor is exhilarating when you’re actually there…watching others in the club tear it up from the comfort of your couch – not so much.

MTV has pissed on what used to be an institution – the best, most off the wall awards show all year is now probably lamer than the Emmys. Except of course when Kid Rock decided to kick Tommy Lee’s ass.

More on MTV and Britney later.

TIFF has been completely balls to the wall. Between the near “Brangelina” riot in Yorkville and George, Matt, Ben, Sienna, Charlize, and on and on and on… there was literally no time to post. But plenty of time to gather smut.

Am scrambling to update site as quickly as possible. Please forgive typos. Shoots today followed by two red carpet premieres tonight, including Ryan Gosling’s at the Ryerson. Full details to follow.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

PS. Check back later - lots of swag to give away!
