Was it a little awkward when David Letterman pitched to Britney Spears for the Top Ten List last night to see a pre-taped remote shot of the singer perched on a generic desk in a skimpy bikini? Yes. Yes, it was. Especially when the camera held on her a beat too long after the intro, presumably hoping for a lascivious “Wooo!” from an audience that seemed more puzzled than titilated. Spears was a good sport though, switching “from hip to hip while we do this,” per Dave’s joke, and hitting the right notes with a deadpan delivery of the Top Ten Ways the Country Would be Different if Britney Spears Were President, which was basically a series of “dumb blonde” jokes (“We would only invade fun places like Cabo”). Tan, svelte, funny, half-naked (the woman had TWO babies, people), full head of hair, clear eyes, crotch fairly well covered up…all in all a good showing for Le Brit. The comeback continues.

Please, she looked like the fluffer girl of a low budget porno with a camera and too much time on her hands.
Funny. It’s nice to see her in on the joke and having a good time. She is a good sport.
I find her incredibly contrived (even more than she used to be)
I hate to burst Mike Bruno’s bubble, but I’m inclined to think this was a pretaped bit and Dave was sarcastically commenting on how she switched hips for each part of the Top Ten. It was a really crappy Top Ten list (ie not funny at all!) and I think Dave knew this by the way he made sarcastic comments and rushed through it.
i think she looks great. anyone who can laugh at themselves doesn’t deserve to be laughed at by others, namely commenters on an entertainment website.
She does look much better. But svelte? Not really. Full head of hair? Extensions that don’t even look real. She does have a good sense of humor and comedic timing.
Let’s all just keep enabling this poor person.
She looks ok, but please. the description by the author is so over the top as to be silly.
South Park had it right. The world does want to keep abusing her until she is dead.
She looks Amazing! She was funny and entertaining. The Author of this piece is spot on. Anyone who is hating needs to shut their pie whole.(yes you are entitled to your own opinion).But if you have had 2 kids that close together and go thru a public break down with everyone watching every move you make and see how you do. I just don’t get you people, you complain when a celebrity is to thin aka Lyndsay and you complain when they gain a bit of weight. Right now she is at great fit state and you all still bash. I am sure that you all aren’t at your best ideal look. Yet you complain when some has accomplished a goal. Yes she had force help but doesnt everyone at some point need help whether they want it or not, and isn’t the point that she has gotten better.I commend and Applaud you Britney keep it up! You are Amazing!
Is the top ten list ever laugh-out-loud funny? No. For a top-ten list it was pretty funny and she looked good. Why do people love hating on this woman?
When she says “America might have a more coherent fiscal strategy”, seriously, does she know what she’s talking about ?
Does it matter? FYI, she isn’t really going to be president, I wouldn’t sweat it.
Ummm…. that’s the joke dude. Lighten up. It’s a comedy bit.
I understand it’s comedy, but I’m just tired of people (like her) making fun of their own ignorance.
Better that they make fun of their own ignorance rather than be unaware of it, like bonaparte.
Rick, that was the funnier then anything said by Britney
i am sooo happy for ms. brittany. she has too many trouble in past and now she seem like getting better in life and thinks like that. i hopes she keep doing good like these and for her kids to be well too. she was two funny with david, i liked so much.
Wow – people are really being mean! I’m not a fan of her music, but I think she looks great, and I love that she is able to laugh at herself. It wasn’t the best Top 10 ever, but she didn’t write it, so you can’t fault her for that. Her timing isn’t too bad, and she does her best to sell it. Give her a break!
What a waste, my eyes are burning and I will never get those 2 minutes 12 seconds of my life back.
Wow, she looks amazing
Utter crap.
She looks great but why does she have to sound like Betty Boop on crack?
ever since she walked barefoot in to some gas station bathroom, she appears really disgusting. like filthy/ unshowered. ick.
aaa
Do you mean AA, or is she having car trouble?
She looked beautiful and it was pretty funny. I wish I looked that good sitting down in a bikini
I love Britney’s CRAZY ASS! LOL
But Letterman SUCKS! He stopped being funny YEEEEEAARS ago.
Good show? Or just f*ing embarrassing? Seriously, she better start saving money–what’s she going to do when no one wants to see her unclothed anymore? Those child-support payments she has to make because she’s an unfit mother won’t pay themselves, you know . . .
I thought it was wayyyy awkward. She was game though. Dave saved it with his hip comments.
Her body is hot. Let’s just get that outta the way. Kids or no kids, her physique is stellar compared to most of the public and her face is so gorgeous. I’m no fan of the extensions, but Britney is a great beauty. Always has been. Her written lines were very funny. This one of the better top 10s, imo. The “Cabo” line was dumb-blonde genius. And what a smooth ass dig at the paparazzi for the last line “Maybe th media will pay some attention to me.” I’d say she got ‘em with that one:-)
