Criss Angel at one point was romantically linked to Britney Spears. He was also supposed to have a hand in her comeback VMA performance, but, after some last minute changes, Criss’ magic was noticeably absent and what ensued has left a permanent scar on my retina. Finally, just one day before the first administration of his new show, Criss Angel opened up to Ok! daily about what went wrong:
"We were supposed to do a creation of stuff that we worked on and it took a lot of dedication and work to do the things that we wanted to do," Criss, on the set of his new NBC series Phenomenon, recalls exclusively to OK! about Britney's planned VMA performance. "Unfortunately for me, she didn’t really want to put forth that type of effort.”
"Basically I said, ‘Don’t worry about me. Do what you want to do. This is a big opportunity for you to do the VMAs, so if you don’t feel it, go with existence else.’ And she chose to go with being else."
If Criss Angel were a real man, he would’ve tackled Britney after the first half-drunk dance step. But he was presumably too busy changing his wardrobe for the fifth time. It takes a lot of work to look like a douchebag who spent his life-savings at Hot Topic. Plus Criss also has to decide whether to wear his monogrammed baseball hat or show off his highlights. Which is understandable. You don’t want to look too retarded all at once. You need to spread the douche-iness out over the course of a day.
