Britney Spears Turns 30: Her Top 5 Most Outrageous Moments

Posted by Natalia Buia on December 2nd, 2011

Our beloved Brit Brit has reached another milestone. She has reached her dirty thirties today.

Since escaping her mother’s womb 30 years ago in Mississippi, she’s never had a dull moment. From starring in the Mickey Mouse Club, to dating the hottest boy band member, the whole world is always in the loop when it comes to her career and personal life. The pop princess had accomplished a lot for a 30-year-old; some good, some bad and some ugly. Here’s a look at the top five most outrageous Britney moments.

5. Her 2001 VMA performance

While “singing” her hit song “I’m a Slave 4 U”, Britney’s wardrobe consisted of a green bikini, a lot of glitter and a white python. The sultry performance was talked about for weeks at the water cooler. People still dress up in this costume for Halloween sometimes.

4. Entering motherhood

Six years ago, while married to Kevin Federline, Britney had her first son, Sean Preston Federline. It came as a shock because no one thought Britney was ready for such a responsibility. In fact, after her second child, Jayden James Federline, people still poked fun at her. Comedian Sarah Silverman even called her sons “the most beautiful mistakes” at an award show.

3. Her day-long marriage

We all know the expression “what happens in Vegas, stayed in Vegas”. For Britney, she ended up bringing her Vegas escapades back home with her. The media blew up and I’m sure the internet broke when news broke that Britney married her childhood friend Jason Alexander but got an annulment a day later. This is when everyone began questioning Britney and gossiping about a potential drug addiction.

2. Kissing Madonna

As per usual, when Britney’s set to performance at an award show, it’s sure to be a jawdropper. For the opening song at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Britney, Christina Aguilera and Madonna performed “Like a Virgin”. The two former Mickey Mouse members were wearing bridal gowns and Madonna wore a black tux. When they changed songs to “Hollywood”, Madonna did the unexpected and planted a sloppy kiss on Britney (and Christina but this isn’t her moment). The best part: the camera cutting to Justin Timberlake for his reaction.

1. Shaving Her Head

Back in 2007, Britney did what was considered the norm for a major popstar: she checked into rehab. It seems she was partying too much with “bad role models” like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Unfortunately, Britney abruptly checked out a day later. The following day, she was spotted at a Tattoo Parlour in L.A. shaving her head. Known for her long, gorgeous blonde locks, the sight of Britney bald and completely worn out shocked just about everyone.

Chris Brown’s Rolex Returning Fan Found

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 4th, 2011

As andPOP reported last week, Chris Brown threw his $22,000 Rolex off the stage while performing at the VMAs last Sunday. A fan returned the watch, and Chris was looking for the fan to thank them.

Well, the fan named Alisha saw the story on TMZ, and she was able to get in contact with Chris’ people. Chris is so appreciative that he has given Alisha backstage passes to his upcoming concert, and will also meet Alisha.

See – doing good things pays off. Granted if she kept the watch that would have paid more, but nevertheless, returning the watch was the right thing to do.

Chris Brown Wants To Thank Honest Fan

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 1st, 2011

During Chris Brown’s VMA performance on Sunday, his $22,000 watch started to bother him. So what did he do? He casually threw it in the audience.

The watch is a diamond encrusted Rolex, and you would think that’s something that shouldn’t be thrown around. A bodyguard went looking for the watch, and surprisingly someone turned it in.

Chris is extremely grateful and wants to reward his fan with tickets and backstage passes to his upcoming tour. And hopefully Chris will be a little bit smarter about dancing with a $22,000 watch, and then just throwing it around.

Jay-Z Refuses To Clap for Chris Brown

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 29th, 2011

Jay-Z is a loyal man, and while everyone was clapping for Chris Brown during his VMA performance last night, Jay refused to.

In case you didn’t know, Jay-Z discovered Rihanna and he is very protective and loyal to her. Although Chris has apologized for striking Rihanna, Jay-Z doesn’t forgive that quickly.

Don’t mess with Jay.

Adam Levine Insults MTV VMAs

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 28th, 2011

Adam Levine from Maroon 5 sent out a tweet yesterday that was less than flattering about MTV’s VMAs.

His tweet read, “the VMA’s. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. fuck you VMA’s.”

Of course he is referring to MTV’s change in focus. MTV use to be all about music, but now they are more into reality TV like Jersey Shore.

Thanks Snooki.

‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Get Special Airport Treatment

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 27th, 2011

MTV can’t have their golden tanned crew miss the VMAs in Los Angeles tomorrow, so the MTV execs have taken special steps to ensure their safe arrival.

With Hurricane Irene sweeping the East Coast, MTV chartered a private jet yesterday to get the cast to Los Angeles. TMZ reports the plane took Snooki, Vinny, Deena and Sammi to LAX.

The rest of the cast wasn’t on the East Coast, and would have no problems making it to the VMAs.

GTL lives on!

Will Chris Brown and Justin Bieber Have VMA Duet?

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 27th, 2011

Chris Brown is booked to perform at this year’s 2011 MTV’s VMAs. The question on everyone’s mind is whether his buddy Justin Bieber will join him on stage.

It’s no secret Justin has a track record of crashing concerts on his friends and girlfriends (or even random people’s weddings). But with all the controversy surround Chris Brown recently, will Justin want to perform on stage with Chris?

The guys have worked together before, recording the tracks “Next 2 You” and “Ladies Love Me.” But is it a good move for Justin to be seen on stage with Chris?

What do you think?

Rumours Floating Lindsay Lohan May Host ‘SNL’

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 14th, 2010

Reports are surfacing that Lindsay Lohan is in talks to host “Saturday Night Live” this December, fresh off her VMA appearance on Sunday.

EW spoke with NBC regarding this rumor, but the broadcaster had no comment on the matter. We should not forget Lohan does have a history with “SNL,” having hosted in 2004 and 2006.

Perhaps this is a sign Lindsay is back in the game.

Under The Rock: Kanye West Threatened By The Kids These Days

Posted by Emma Renda on September 14th, 2009

Kanye WestWe all know what KanyeWest did at the VMAs and it looks like we’ll be talking about it until the Grammys. But shouldn’t we be prepared for this by now?

Kanye has based his career on the unlikely pairing. College student becomes iced-out rapper. Rapper wears sweater vests and horn-rimmed glasses. Prep-school rapper spits rhymes about Jesus and the politics of blood diamonds. Catholic hip-hopper samples Ray Charles for a song about women horny for money. Blues piano samples replaced with electro-house synthesizers and Auto-Tune.

Et cetera.

When he stormed the MTV VMA stage on Sunday, interrupting the sugary acceptance speech of tween country princess Taylor Swift, the event was actually more scripted than offensive. It wasn’t like the time Kanye accepted an MTV Europe award he didn’t win, or refused to accept an award he did win because he felt Outkast deserved it more.

No, it was more of a half-assed display of choreographed ego, just Kanye scoping out the most unlikely character to stand next to and making sure it happened before commercial break. Sure, Kany emay have been upset Beyonce’s video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” lost out to Swift’s beige video for “You Belong with Me”.

Kanye West and Taylor Swift At VMAs

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 13th, 2009

Kanye WestKanye you are a talented guy but sometimes you push it too far. At tonight’s VMA awards, Taylor Swift was awarded the Best Female video. However during her acceptance speech an aggressive West stole the mic from Taylor, saying “Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish.” “But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time … one of the best videos of all time!” The camera then panned to Beyonce who continued to sit in the crowd obviously shocked and stunned. All we can say is poor Taylor, poor Beyonce, and Kanye you are a huge douche. See below to watch:
