The criticism for Britney Spears began quickly after the first promo video was distributed for her interview with Matt Lauer. Much of it concentrated on her chosen outfit, and even dog-toting socialite Paris Hilton chimed in.

| Paris Dishes Style Advice to Britney Spears |
Britney Spears appeared on the program wearing a purple halter-top and tight mini skirt. Hilton said of the outfit choice - according to Contact Music UK:
"I think she could have dressed much cuter... She should have worn a really cute maternity dress and she would have looked beautiful."

Us Weekly has a poll on "What stood out the most from Britney’s Dateline interview?"
Where to begin? During her June 15 Dateline NBC sit-down with Matt Lauer, Spears sobbed, chomped on her gum, used the word “awesome” (a lot) and compared herself to Julia Roberts and Goldie Hawn. So what do you remember the most?

And Paris wasn't finished either. According to a published report she told The View that she sympathizes with Britney’s anger at the photographer and the media in general but the best way to deal with them is to be polite.
“[The paparazzi] annoy me, too. I can understand going to a press event or a premiere that’s fine, they’re there, but when they’re waiting outside your home every morning and following you around every single day it’s hard.”

“I’d rather them just take pictures at events, not at my house.
“I think it’s better just to smile than when people give the middle finger or are rude to them, because that’s what they want you to do. They want to get a bad picture.”
