Last night we witnessed Britney Spears doing the Truffle Shuffle as she attempted to stage a comeback at the VMAs. Well that didn’t happen, did it? But this mess couldn’t have possibly been the fault of past-her-prime Spears, right? Of course not. I blame, and by “I blame” I mean “not at all responsible”, Sarah Silverman and her jabs at Britney and her kids during her monologue. X17 explains it all:

A source tells X17 Brit found out about Sarah Silverman’s crappy line about Britney’s babies just moments before she took the stage to perform “Gimme More.” Needless to say, Britney was PISSED! … as any mom would be. Britney was so upset she walked through her performance just to get it over with (despite encouragement from her friends, including Sam who was apparently yelling at Sarah backstage) to skip out on it all together). She held up her end of the bargain and got a major slap in the face from Sarah.

What exactly do they mean “held up her end of the bargain”? Flailing around on stage while not even being able to keep up with the words doesn’t sound like she was holding anything up. I don’t think it would have even been enough for Mouth to let her in the yard (see below if you need that one explained). I also like this “Sam” character who was “yelling at Sarah backstage”. Who the hell is this guy and why would Sarah Silverman care? She’s dating Jimmy Kimmel. Now how’s that for a rebuttal?

Update (9/12): Sarah told TMZ that she didn’t say/practice any of her jokes at the show prior to her performance. Brit’s just grasping at straws.
