Oct 23 2007Criss Angel talks about Britney’s VMA performance
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 premiere of his new show, Criss Angel opened up to Ok! Magazine 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 something else.’ And she chose to go with something else."
If Criss Angel were a real man, he would’ve tackled Britney after the first half-drunk dance step. But he was probably 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.

Man Criss Angel could probably make your penis disappear if you piss him off.

Douche actually has a "Criss Angel Mindfreak" patch on his pants. How embarrassing (not to mention the 800 lbs. of fake bling

Wow. First she makes Kevin Federline look like father of the year, now she makes this dead-eyed male cumslut look like a true professional.

i think the criss has better things to worry about than brittany...
7. Mesmerised - October 23, 2007 5:56 PM
this guy is so repulsive... whatever it takes to get the spotlight - he'll just do it... he's just another jerk. Should make a really good match with Paris;)
8. Feckless - October 23, 2007 5:57 PM
If you look up "Poser" in the dictionary, there is a picture of his face, baggage and all. The handcuffs look gay on him.

Is anyone shocked by these comments? Did anyone not see this coming? What can anyone post about Britney that would be a surprise other than she has joined a convent and has taken a vow of celibacy

This guy is _such _ a dickwad. Real magicians hate him, he has no talent, and he's a dickwad. (Yeah, I know I already said that, but it bears repeating.)
13. Binky - October 23, 2007 6:12 PM
My sources are saying he was supposed to make Britney disappear at the VMA's - for a good long long time.
He's still riddled with guilt.
14. FRIST!!! - October 23, 2007 6:12 PM
Hot Topic that's funny.
#3 you're funny
Criss Angel you're funny.
Everybody's funny.
I think I took too much prozac today.

Oh, hey, nobody told me there was a post below this post. What's it about? I don't feel like scrolling.
16. Jimbo - October 23, 2007 6:17 PM
FRIST it is "Gwen Stefani keeps her body looking awesome"
17. sla - October 23, 2007 6:18 PM
I thought he was hotter when his skankiness seemed to come naturally -- hot in a kind of greasy, bad-boy, mumbling-idiot-who-does-cool-tricks-on-the-street kind of way. But this three-tone-highlighty, Posh haircutty, chest-stubbly look? Um, no way. And that look in his eyes is like he's trying to be hot but comes off like a deranged idiot. And if he's gonna go all glamazon, he should do something about those nasty circles under his eyes.
18. Feckless - October 23, 2007 6:23 PM
OK now there's a big fat argument at Geekologie about whether Walmart is righteous and upstanding or not - including the employees. I'm betting on Team Lame to place.
19. ATX - October 23, 2007 6:26 PM
Criss needs to lay off the drugs...he is a ZOMBIE looking thing. YIKES!!! Make the ugly disappear, PLEASE!!!

Could this twat want to be in Motley Crue any more?
21. anniemal - October 23, 2007 6:44 PM
This dude has never stopped riding Britney Spears.
Maybe sexually, but he is not gonna stop using her to get all the publicity he can possibility get for a very long time.
22. LL - October 23, 2007 6:54 PM
The second Superficial paragraph is greatness. "It takes a lot of work to look like a douchebag who spent his life-savings at Hot Topic." - It does look like a Hot Topic store threw up on him.
The fact that NBC is giving this idiot one moment of network time almost makes me want to stop watching any other NBC show. If only the FBI could come up with something on him, maybe we'd be spared that steaming pile. I've seen the retarded promo for the show numerous times now and I gotta say, the only people more retarded than the ones who appear in it are anyone who watches it. I'd rather watch Richard Simmons get all his body hair waxed off.

I wonder if in high school "rock star" magicians got beat up as much as the other kids into magic were?

"It takes a lot of work to look like a douchebag who spent his life-savings at Hot Topic."
classic.
26. Frack - October 23, 2007 7:56 PM
He gets skankier by the minute.
27. Frick - October 23, 2007 8:04 PM
He soo grosses me out, the boy is just not right. And he does not look well either; looks kinda sickly. I always assumed he was gay; yet I recently heard he was married but getting a divorce? Surprise, surprise. Or maybe just a beard? That shaved chest is pretty darn funny though. Serious doucheness. Though I have to give the man (?) credit where credit is due...he ratted Britney out and admitted that the reason they didn't do the fancy schmancy "magical Britney" show was because her fat ass was too lazy to rehearse. See Britney fans? She doesn't give a shit about you or what you want. Wake the eff up and smell the cheetos!

Or do he and Victoria Beckham go to the same hairstylist?

30. Ript1&0 - October 23, 2007 8:31 PM
HAHAHAHA!!!! I was thinking that shit when I saw the pic, before I read the paragraph. Awesome.
Dude, if you've got to wear diamond covered handcuffs as a necklace to show everyone, you sure as hell are never getting tied to my bed.
31. taylorblue - October 23, 2007 8:44 PM
I really like Criss Angel...so what if he doesn't like Britney anymore. I still am a big fan of his always will be!
32. taylorblue - October 23, 2007 8:45 PM
P.S. Those are horrible pics of him!!!
33. alf oldland - October 23, 2007 9:40 PM
gross, thesuperficial, just gross.
let's do better. soon.
34. Samhain - October 23, 2007 9:48 PM
Those are stick-on eyes to replace the real ones that blew off of his head from a mindfreaking, multilayered drug cocktail that wasn't quite strong enough to kill him - but almost. If Jim Henson wasn't already dead, I'd tell him, "Nice work."
35. wreckedtrain32 - October 23, 2007 10:23 PM
Gross. Looks like a junkie. His show creeps me out, and not in the cool eerie way. In the skeezy, i might molest you way
36. moobs - October 23, 2007 10:42 PM
"she didn’t really want to put forth that type of effort.”
Because she's not a real "artist" and shes never "worked" for anything she's gotten handed to her. Just like her idiot fans who don't know shit about anything either.
37. ha8ter - October 23, 2007 10:45 PM
He's the male version of Britney- badly dressed, skanked out, and yet somehow thinks he's hot.
All he needs is a Starbucks in his hand and an assistant who moonlights as a boxer and he's all set.
38. ha8ter - October 23, 2007 10:49 PM
He's kinda like the pretty/ugly girl on Seinfeld. Sometimes Jerry would pick her up for a date and she'd be pretty, and other times when he met her on the street she was totally skanky.
Today is an ugly day for Criss. (Stupidly spelled name)
39. big teeth - October 23, 2007 11:10 PM
Douchebag refugee from 1992 looking dipshit.. the very definition of no-talent assclown..

Bless me.
51. Dick Richards - October 24, 2007 10:14 AM
Fuck, I hate that guy. Lame ass clothes. He's the cleanest dirty-guy I've ever seen. Not only does he physically suck, but he has that stupid accent as well. Criss Angel's so intense. Look at him. Look! He knows things. Crissto can look in to the bottom of your heart like a leopard or a lion. Yeah, he's like a Skinwalker the way he sneaks in to your soul; and makes his way to the tip of your rectum.
52. Dick Richards - October 24, 2007 10:17 AM
Oh, yeah, did I mention he's forty? He's a forty year-old magician! Ha!
53. ssdd - October 24, 2007 11:58 AM
43 .. Go fuck yourself toothless mountain hag.. You obviously know not a goddamn thing about this site.
54. Dick Richards - October 24, 2007 12:31 PM
Oh, #43. You're, like, so right. I mean, Criss, he does things that no one else dares to do. Like magic, and shit. He's very intense. I remember the episode of MindFreak (terrible name for a show) where little-Criss bashed his head on that Holy rock after jumping from that barely moving van. That was so funny. It would have kicked-so goddamn hard if his wig flew off or something. Or if his head cracked open, but instead of brains coming out, it was a gigantic egg yolk. But, yeah. Criss Angel does things, man. Wow.
55. Jillia - October 24, 2007 1:19 PM
"It takes a lot of work to look like a douchebag who spent his life-savings at Hot Topic." Nailed it.
But anywho, i call bulllshit on this one. Everyone knows Britney is the epitome of hard work and dedication... wait... what?....
56. Makemepuke - October 24, 2007 9:09 PM
Chris Angel = Bullshit artist, period. He's as phoney as Madonna's concern for African children.
57. carrie - October 31, 2007 2:03 AM
#53 you are soooo brilliant ! For figuring out that I didn't know about this site considering I stated that jackass!! And now that I know it's all about unhappy people who get a rush out of calling people names that you know absolutely nothing about, I will never come back! (p.s. I have great teeth) You all have such a wonderful I.Q to be making this your pastime...
58. Erin - October 31, 2007 5:44 PM
#52 - Whyyyy does it matter how old he is, you fucking moron. There's older magicians out there. Like, Lance Burton, Johnny Thompson, Shut your fuckin' mouth.
Go fuck your mother.
