BRITNEY SPEARS was booed at the MTV Video Music Awards after ignoring her fans AGAIN.
The fading star tried to shrug off cat calls as she trotted up the red carpet before the bash in New York.
But angry fans who had waited for hours to catch a glimpse of their heroes made their feelings clear.
The jeers were a painful reminder of the heckling Britney received in London in March after ignoring crowds at the premier of her flop debut movie Crossroads.
The singer wore a dodgy black leather bondage-style dress and peaked cap for the awards, presented at the famous Radio City Music Hall.
Flanked by security guards, she stopped to pose for TV cameras and photographers, then strutted past the fans who have supported her and bought her records without a glance.
Nicola Holdsworth, 15, from Barking, Essex, had made the journey to New York and waited in the rain to see the stars arriving.
She was left stunned by Britney’s snub and said: “She just ignored us. I feel cheated. I’m soaking wet. All we expected was a bit of recognition. She shouldn’t forget who put her where she is today.
“Her dress was awful as well, I don’t know where she dreamed that up.”

Her dress was awful? Ok, that was probably one of the best outfits Britney has ever worn. Anyway, what is up with these Brit Tabloids, when will they ever stop......I think the only reason why their bashing her again is because this time, there was NOTHING to bash about, so they had to come up with something.
What is this so called fan wanting? Britney to cross 5th Avenue past the limos, the yellow cabs and to the other side where the fans were standing? It was raining too....as soon as the stars got out of their Limo they went straight into the covered red carpet arrival, but hey, if I'm not mistaken, Britney did go on a high stage and waved to all her fans, see our videos at the top?, the one that has the various Miscellanous shots? You'll see it there....
Will they ever take a raincheck on Brit...?
