Popwreck Britney Spears was rumoured to have been working on a comeback performance for the MTV VMAs with illusionist Criss Angel which she hoped would be “shocking” while it was revealed through an SPCA investigation that Britney’s dog broke its leg because someone accidentally stepped on it and that no harm was caused through negligence. The same could not necessarily be said for Britney’s children as the LA Country Department of Children and Family Services began an investigation into the treatment of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Despite the investigation into her behavior, Britney still managed to go out in public wearing what looked like a long t-shirt and no pants at all, run out of gas while driving her car, get a parking ticket and, if a radio interview with music producer Ne Yo is to be believed, skip out on recording 6-8 songs he wrote for her for no apparent reason.Regardless of this chronic failure to function as an adult, Madonna still saw fit to more or less 
channel and appropriate Britney’s aesthetic in a track that was leaked to a DJ which sounded eerily similar to Britney’s past hit, “Toxic”. Ok! Magazine also decided to auction off the Versace gown Britney stained with mustard while attending the photo shoot she never quite got through earlier this year. By Friday afternoon bidding was at $US1550 and it was also revealed that despite not working, Britney brings in about $US700,000 a month in residuals and interest.
