Just Because it's daring, just because she has vocal chops & just because she's Demi Lovato, feast your eyes on her wearing a uh, rather revealing sequin & lace ensemble.
Yes, peeps in the tradition of the Free The Nipple campaign, Ms. Lovato let hers out at the MTV Video Music Awards last night.
Her accessories? Not that I believe anyone cares but she wore lots of diamonds, hoop earrings and most importantly a sultry stare.
Demi has always been fearless in life and her choices, on the red carpet is no exception for this young woman.
While scanning MTV Video Music Awards coverage, which seems like an oxymoron at this point, online as I didn't watch them last night since I was otherwise engaged. I came a cross this amazing looking woman in the most perfect dress that werked for her image and her figure...One Ms. Britney Spears! That's right, It's Britney Bitch!
Now let me make it crystal that I am not a Britney fan, nor have I ever been. That being stated I have nothing against her either. For a woman who has gone through the ringer, who could forget Britney The Dark Ages, and back, I have to give her and her family credit for reclaiming her life and then some.
Mental illness and depression are a tough go, some people are lucky like Ms. Spears and manage to overcome them and or get it under control. Others are not as fortunate.
Cheers to you Britney you looking happy and healthy may you to continue to livelong and prosper.
"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!" - Bette Davis as Margo Channing in All About Eve That's right MTV's Video Music Awards are on tonight with Our Lady of Cyrus, Miley hosting. So that means anything can happen when she hits the stage and as you know, anything will! Executive producers have been proactive and prepared a delay for her and lots of wide shots for audience reactions. Way to work those ratings people! With live performances by Nicki Minaj, Macklemore, Pharrell Williams, Tori Kelly and many more planned it is a music lovers buffet. Aside from the hostess with the mostess, or is it host with the most, sorry Miley I know you have stated you feel more like a guy than a girl in the past...the other wild card of the evening will be the coming of Yeezus! That's correct, Kanye West will be accepting the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, prepare thyself. Here's hoping Taylor Swift makes an appearance during that moment and there's no Bad Blood! Tune in or be square to the MTV Video Music Awards tonight at 9/8c on MTV, duh!
