Idol Judges Give Comment for Britney's Performance

50 Cent, Common, Nicole Scherzinger and others have all had their say about Britney Spears' VMA performance — now the American Idol judges are having at her.

"We've decided that we're all going to collectively manage Britney," Simon Cowell remarked at a press conference earlier this week.

"We're going to manage Britney, take her career over," Randy Jackson added.

Cowell snickered that he would "Keep her away from the stupid friends, buy her some underwear," while Paula Abdul — as always — tried to put a positive spin on her VMA performance. "I never count her out."

Spears' fellow former teen icon Joey Fatone has also chimed in on the performance, telling Extra, "I felt bad but didn't. It looked like she was really lost. A lot of people ... really want her to seek help ... there's something not right here, something needs to obviously be done before anything tragic happens. She's a great girl ... I've known her for many years."
