Man, what a week! It all started on Sunday with the VMAs...not sure what the "M" stood for, really (
Marketing? Mess? Mistake?), but that's neither here nor there. And hey, you know who else seemed neither here nor there at the VMAs? Yep, you guessed it:
Britney Spears.

Dear gawd, what happened to poor Britters? It seems like just yesterday she was totally rockin' that VMA stage: resplendent in her breakaway tuxedo, in complete command of that 12-foot python, utterly upstaging sloppy-seconds kisser
Christina Aguilera as her girl-on-girl smooch with
Madonna made cable TV history. Good times, good times. But oh, how the mighty have fallen.
This year, Brit's much-hyped ceremony-opening performance was a shocking trainwreck that'd make even the most hardened AmTrak exec cringe, as she limped through her seemingly unrehearsed "Gimme More" number with all the grace of a lead-hooved horse. A lead-hooved horse hopped up on horse tranquilizers, actually.
Many fingers have been pointed in many different directions, all in desperate attempts to

explain Britney's latest unexplainable act of career suicide. Some claim her new manager is at fault, for supposedly forcing his high-profile, high-strung client to perform before she was back to her old pre-
K-Fed, pre-pregnancy, one-thousand-crunches-a-day self. Some blame hostess-with-the-leastest
Sarah Silverman, whose malicious and only mildly funny
Sean Preston/
Jayden James-slandering monologue allegedly threw Britney off-track. Some blame officials at the Palms Casino (where the awards were held), who reportedly scrapped Britney's
Criss Angel-choreographed act for insurance reasons, thus forcing her to whip up an alternate dance routine at the last minute. Some cite an 11th-hour skirmish between Britney and her quickly-fired hairstylist,
Jessica Simpson BFF
Ken Paves. Others, including
Kanye West, blame MTV, accusing the network of selling Britney out for ratings (or perhaps using her to detract attention from the overall poor quality of the rest of the VMAs telecast). And finally, many,
many others just blame it on the handful on anti-depressants that anonymous sources claim they saw her gulping down moments before she hit the stage. Talk about toxic!
Anyhoo, whatever series of unfortunate events led to Britney's breakdown, it's clear the girl needs to take a break, period. Maybe we should all heed the advice of YouTube crybaby Chris Crocker and...LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!
But wait, there's even more VMA fallout to discuss! Speaking of Pamela Anderson,
and of Kanye West...Pam managed to tick off Kanye when, while introducing his VMA performance, she said

, "One of the best times I've ever had was making out with the next performer in the middle of the desert [in his "Touch The Sky" video]...and I might need a repeat performance later tonight!" Apparently this did not sit well with the newly engaged Kanye, who thought Pam was being disrespectful to his fiancee. However, after a comment like that, he should've just been relieved that neither Tommy Lee nor Kid Rock tried to jealously punch
him, too. But really,
everything VMA-related annoyed Kanye this week: The Britney scandal, the fact that he didn't get to perform on the main stage, and most of all the fact that he took home no Moonmen trophies. Now he's promising to boycott the VMAs forever. We just hope the fact that he is likely going to outsell his fake-feud rival
50 Cent this week offers him a little bit of solace. Wow, if Kanye boycotts MTV, Fiddy retires (which he vowed to do if Kanye beat him in sales), and Britney takes that much-needed hiatus...then
who will perform at the VMAs in 2008?
