Let’s Hear It for Second Chances

A wise man once said the more second chances you give the more second chances you’ll get. Kind of makes you wonder whom Britney Spears has lent a hand to recently. Her goodwill gesture must have been a doozie because the reforming trainwreck is getting a second chance from MTV. As in the network that broadcast her disastrous “comeback” at last year’s Video Music Awards. Bigwigs at the music network say they are considering giving Spears a chance to bust a move (or a least a nail or two) on stage at this year’s event. VMA organizers say they are … Continue reading
