A new book about Britney Spears reveals just how the popstar managed to make such a mess of her performance at the 2007 oTV Video ousic awards. In the wake of her horrendous head-shaving incident the singer was hoping to make a stunning comeback with a rendition of her song ‘Gimme More’ but pre-performance nerves got the better of her. Steve Dennis, author of ‘Britney: Inside the Dream’, explains, “Britney herself managed to ruin the most important performance of her life. Hours before the show, her anxieties raged. She decided it was a good idea to start drinking tequila shots to calm her nerves – one after the other.” And, Steve continues, it was a dressing-room visit from the ‘Toxic’ singer’s ex that tipped her over the edge. “Justin was cool and couldn’t have been friendlier, but that wigged her out more.”
