Britain’s The Sun reports that right before her disasterous performance at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears went ballistic on her hairdresser.
What caused the freakout? Brit apparently hated her hairdo for the show (rightfully so!!) and had to be given anti-depressants by her doctor.
An MTV source told The Sun: “The scene in the dressing room before the show was one of absolute blind panic. She knew she hadn’t rehearsed enough and was going to mess up the whole show and possibly her career - then she saw her hairdo and it was the final straw. She went into a wild rage and started lashing out at everyone — including her stylist.â€
In a desperate attempt to quick resolve the pre-show problem, Brit’s handlers at the Las Vegas Palms Casino fetched her doctor, who had the embattled songstress pop the prescription pills.
The source said: “Britney took enough to floor an elephant. They calmed her down — but were clearly too effective.â€
Poor Britney — girlfriend doesn’t even know how to do her drugs properly. Anti-depressants are for quiet nights at home with the kids and Ecstasy pills are for performances and nights out on the town. Get it right next time, would ya?!?

little typo in the headline. it should be: “britney was on drugs.”
who cares? 90% of the room was drunk or high! Oh yeah, and this story blows.
Show of hands: Who’s sick of the Britney VMA story? anyone? no? Just me?
hiedi, I totally fell u.
Enough with this.
enough if she had enough to take down an elephant–it still would have taken at least twenty minutes to really hit her system so can i have yet another excuse please?
Plus, anti-depressants don’t work like that, it’s anti-anxiety pills that would knock you out if you took a bunch.
Another day another excuse. This part of your career is dead now go raise your kids!
First thing I have agreed with regarding the Brit excuses… she looked like an elephant.. wait, is that right??? aahhh who cares.. I’m going with she F’ed up b/c she looke like an elephant..
.
**I’m never one to talk about weight, but come one.. anyone knows u dress for your body type**
….she took enough to floor an elephant cos she was big as one…okay I am tired of people saying we are “hard on Shitney and her weight gain, but had she read what people are thinking, she should have serously considered her choices…she is delusional….she thought she was just fine and people had to beleive it too, but it was like the Emperor New Clothes…she pranced and she was naked and she thought she looked fine…but she was horribly mistaken….she was out of shape, she didn’t know the words of her own song…These blogs and comments may be harsh, but they are the pulse of what people are feeling. We are her audience, and she should have paid attention…cos at the end we will buy the records, but we don’t buy the shit she is serving us as crumbs off her table….so FUCK SHITNEY….grow up and play nice….cos like it or not, you need us…
so for you out there that we are being too harsh on Shitney GROW UP…you are enabling that crap by feeling sorry for her…she is priviledged and she has the world at her disposal…I am not sorry for her you short sighted son’s of bitches….if she wants to be taken seriously…she should take her own life seriously…..
No shit she was on drugs! And that “doctor” was probably her dealer!
So what if she messed up?! Could it be that she was just shite because she didn’t rehearse properly and NOT because of some stupid long winded explanation that the National Enquirer shat out?!
Anyway, Britney isn’t fat, to say she is shows some serious problems with whoever said that, she needed to dress to flatter herself but she’s deluded about how she looks now. Also “We” buy her records do we? Even when she was popular I wouldn’t taint myself with her kind of pop-lite….admittedly Toxic was cute but still NO!
LASTLY….I think some comments are harsh just for the sake of it and don’t really comment on why they feel that way just jumping on the insult bandwagon. She is privaledged but has that got her any friends? Any real support? Money doesn’t equal happiness….
I agree. Britney could have used a few lines of cocaine. She would at least have appeared awake during her performance,
thank you starr!
Anti-anxiety pills will calm you down…anti-depressants take time to kick in, and shouldn’t turn you into a ZOMBIE
Hm..No.She was nervous,the sun wrote this-bullshit..Get over it and leave
her fucking alone!
^ Chris Crocker? Is that you?
YES SHE WAS ON DRUGS BUT THERE IS NO EFFING WAY THEY WERE ANTI-DEPRESSANTS. ANTI-DEPS AREN’T FAST-ACTING THINGS YOU TAKE RIGHT AWAY - THEY NEED TO BUILD UP IN YOUR SYSTEM AND ONLY WHEN THEY REACH A CONSTANT LEVEL IN YOUR BLOOD DO THEY HAVE AN EFFECT. LET’S CALL A SPADE A SPADE: SHE IS A COCAINE ADDICT.
SHE WAS OUT UNTIL 7 AM THE NIGHT BEFORE AND HAD TO PERFORM - CALLS FOR A FEW (DOZEN) LINES BEFORE GOING ON STAGE TO GET IT TOGETHER. ANY ONE WITH COKE EXPERIENCE WILLR ECOGNIZE THIS FAULTY, ADDICTED LOGIC.
LOOKED LIKE SHE HAD ALSO POPPED SOME DOWNERS TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF. IT WAS OXY, AMBIEN, XANAX OR TONS OF VALIUM.
starr get a life
love ya, anonymous
*kiss*
All these excuses…she didn’t want to be there, she couldn’t care less about her comeback, didn’t rehearse and wasn’t prepared, simple as that.
Well at least part of this story is true because Ken Paves did walk out on her; his rep confirmed that much. But yeah, she was definitely on something. And she must’ve taken the same pills the day before because her performance was exactly like her rehearsal.
I doubt that the pills would have knocked her out but they could have definately made her drowsy and slightly out of it. I really hope that she wouldn’t have taken any other drugs and risked ruining the performence, not that it would have mattered anyway. I have always stood by Britney and I think she’s a great performer but she really needs to step up her game if she wants to be taken seriously. She has the potential to blow everyone away, but she just can’t seem to pull herself together and do it. Whether its due to problems in her personal life or the fact that she just doesn’t love it anymore I don’t know.
Owkay ^^^^…she doesnt have any potential other than to whore herself really well.And to even lose something as pathetic as that is realllyyyyyyyyyyy sad!
Antidepressants DO NOT knock you out! It takes several weeks for them to work, not an hour. And when they do start working they don’t turn you into a zombie (unless they are an antipsychotic which is a huge difference). Whoever started this story should try to get their facts right. She obviously took too mant anti-anxiety pills (xanax,valium,ativan,etc.) because she knew she was going to do a terrible job and was probably nervous.
And as far as people getting mad about Shitney bashing, GET OVER IT! I do not think people are being too harsh about the things they say about her, they are just stating an obvious fact. She treats people like dirt, why should anyone be nice to her or feel sorry for her? She deserves everything that is being said about her!
