The worst thing about the Princess of Not-So-Much's pathetic comeback attempt at the VMAs wasn't necessarily her halfhearted dancing, abysmal lip-syncing skills or her appallingly lethargic energy level. What I'd really like to call attention to are the sad, sad spray-on abs Brit reportedly got for her "big" moment, and explain why this (still!?!?) trendy technique needs to retire along with cold cream and hot rollers.

When the spray tan phenomenon hit, enterprising salons got all kinds of big ideas regarding this new-er, category, and somehow sold people on the idea that this was a perfectly acceptable way to look more toned. Let's think about that for a moment, shall we? Right. Anyone who's ever tried this will tell you it looks like crap and you will get busted (embarrassing much?). If there is one person out there who can honestly say that they tried this and their faux six-pack actually got them laid or whatever, drop me a line! We want photographic evidence, too.
