Newsflash: Britney Spears a Big Girl Now

I missed Britney Spears' "Dateline" interview last week. Well, to be precise I gouged my eyes out with rusty nails to make sure I wouldn't accidently see it. After reading this quick recap by the Daily Dish, I'm sorry I missed the trainwreck. (Warning: link goes to a page with a picture of Britney Spears on it.)

Britney Spears has been subjected to a backlash after her tearful interview last week on NBC's "Dateline."

Spears, who is pregnant, was criticized for her "inappropriate" wardrobe choice of a sheer, cleavage-baring top and revealing mini-skirt. The singer also reportedly insisted on doing her own hair and make-up and chewed gum throughout the interview. At one point, when she began to cry, her make-up started clumping and one of her fake eyelashes fell off.

The source adds, "When (the NBC crew) got there, they thought they had the wrong day ... during the interview, no one was there to rein things in."

...When asked why Spears was on her own for the interview, Sloane Zelnick told Page Six, "Britney is a grown-up and makes her own decisions."

Two Daily Dish commenters fill in the details.

My favorite interview question: "Britney, how far along are you"

Britney responds, "I'm not sure, maybe 6 or 7 months."

Great mom, doesn't even know when her baby is due!

Matt questions, "excuse me, britney...but is that your birth canal I'm looking up?" (piece of advice, britney, wear something that will cover your crotch for an interview)
