"The dance number was spectacular - without her," said our spy at rehearsal. "When the stand-in was rehearsing with the dancers, in the hours they were all waiting for her, it was amazing. Then Britney showed up and refused to do anything. The dancers were supposed to lift and twirl her in the air a few times, and that just wasn't going to happen. The more complicated dance moves had to be erased because she couldn't do them."Meanwhile, Spears was agitated because she didn't like the outfit MTV had selected for her.
"MTV wanted her to wear a corset outfit. It would have looked great and covered a lot of things up, but she hated it and didn't think it was sexy enough."
Instead, Spears changed into a spangly bra-and-underwear outfit she'd brought with her that emphasized her weight gain over the last year.
Oh good lord, take people's advice. She looked...realistic the other night. Considering her lifestyle, her fupa could have been the one up there performing if she had let it. Keep reading for what one source says was her actual problem.

"She was extremely nervous. It's been awhile since she's done this, and she was performing in front of all her peers, on live TV. She just got out there and froze," says a source who was also backstage as well as at rehearsal. "People who were at rehearsal saw something else. It was good. It really was."
Oh, here's something sad. Imagine you're a dancer and you get this huge break dancing backup for Britney's comeback. The dancers were pretty spot-on, if I remember. Then Daisy Mae shows up with a plastic casino souvenir cup filled with tequila and you know it's over.
MTV execs weren't the only ones worried about Spears' impending debacle. Another spy said, "The dancers were texting pals, asking them to pray for them. They were worried."
Way to ruin "A Chorus Line", Snack Cake!
It's like the Zapruder film. We have conflicting stories and theories. We'll never know the truth. Does she not care? Is she just spoiled? Self-deluded? Self-desructive? Pissed off? I think the bigger question is why we're all treating this high school variety show entry like it's a message from space we need to decipher.
