After
Britney Spears' crap-tastic performance at the Video Music Awards, the Internets were abuzz with commentary on lazy lip-syncing and
that awful glittery bikini. Oddly, most people missed her equally unfortunate hair.
The no-style, flat top, "I've cemented my hair down with 7 cans of hairspray" look was probably the least of Britney's troubles Sunday night -- but that doesn't mean it was good.
Rumor has it that the reason the former pop-star's coiffure was such a resounding disappointment had to do with the man who
wasn't styling it. Ken Paves, hairdresser to the stars (and Britney's regular stylist), was scheduled to do the celebrat's hair for the VMAs -- but
backed out on the gig. According to a source close to Spears, the singer got snippy when Paves showed up to give her extensions, because she'd requested that his two female assistants do the job (apparently she prefers to be surrounded only be women).
Oh, and the bikini? Turns out costumers had picked out something far less hideous, but Britney insisted on her now infamous wardrobe disaster.
Amazing.
