Britney Is Not a Beached Whale, Folks.

No, Britney Spears not the brightest star in the galaxy. No, she never was educated about leaving home without underwear. And she seems to have adopted her parenting skills from the gloved one. But, was her lethargic movement at the recent Video Music Awards in Las Vegas worthy of the seemingly worldwide scorn? Geez!

Seems television and music fans want their female stars to be around the size of Kate Moss or, if you're older than 40, Twiggy. That's dangerous territory. And what society is doing is telling average girls (and some boys) that almost everything is borderline obese. The woman had a couple of kids and probably will take a while to, if ever, get a flat belly again.

So why all the venom? Yes, her bizarre recent actions--shaving her head, storming out of photo sessions---are cause for some ridicule. But, it seems mighty dangerous to focus so much on weight when the woman is hardly a beached whale or the Michelin Tire Man.
