Ok! Magazine says Extra is offering Britney Spears a chance to perform:

After last night’s disastrous VMA performance, the folks over at Extra want Britney Spears to give performing her new single “Gimme More” another try. The show says they will open their studio stage up to her so that she can try to prove to everyone she is ready for her comeback.

So the execs over at Extra saw how many people watched Britney fall flat on her face on the VMAs, and now they want her to help their ratings by putting on another lame peformance. I hit my thumb this morning with a hammer, and guess what? I didn’t think it was a good idea to do it a second time.

There’s no other way to describe it, though US Weekly will surely try to flesh it out with gory details in this week’s cover story.

And, before all you Britney Spears fans come out of the woodwork to defend her in the comments and tell us to "leave her alone" and "let her go about her business" please take a moment to reflect on Brit-Brit’s recent behavior.

Inappropriate dress for dinner with the tots. Snubbing Victoria Beckham, as if Posh is beneath her. And weaponizing baby bottles and making expletive-laced threats in public.

Those who really love Britney should be alarmed, concerned, and fearful for her safety and the safety of her children.

Plus, somebody should really look into some kind of "Big Sister" program for her. If she’s so lonely that she’ll hop into a hotel pool with any ol’ extra from a video shoot and then smile for the camera, perhaps what Britney really needs is just a friend.

One who won’t sell their camera phone pics to the tabloids.
