WHAT YOU DIDN'T SEE
Poor, poor little Chrissy. Being the latest Versace muse and Skechers spokesperson is still not enough to get you into the camera frame when your fellow Mousekeeter is around. Sure you looked fabulous when you arrived at the VMAs in your fuschia feather Cavalli. But, notice how the only macking we saw was with the old lady and the Southener. We didn't even get the chance to see the X-Teen get down and dirrrty with Madge beacuse the camera was too busy focusing on Justin's reaction, which could best be described as a mixture of "say what?" and "eeewww." In what later may be recorded as the best move in JLo's career, La Lopez brilliantly bowed out at the last minute due to a scheduling conflict.

FASHION FUMBLE
Oh Britney. Are you going Crow on us? [Refer to how Sheryl goes through strange periods of flip flopping fashion sense. One minute it's all flat ironed highlights, bikini tops, and way too much lip gloss. The next, cowboy boots, cutoffs, and country curls.] Last night at the NFL Kickoff Show, Britney took center stage in a hideous referee inspired half shirt that she should have received a double flag on the play for wearing. Her unsportsmanlike fashionista conduct is deplorable and if we could hit the instant replay button she would be clothed in the touchdown worthy ensemble on the right. Next time she goes on national television to self-promote we recommend she listens to the Splendora QB when she's in the huddle.
