Britney. 3. A C-Rok Remix.

Britney. 3.

It's Britney's annual video where she looks smoking hot and gives us quite the show. I wish she'd bring this hotness around more often - I like it a ton. Check out her video for 3 below. xx.

New. Britney. If U Seek Amy.

Hot. This will likely be taken down so click below to see if you made it in time.
It's yummy.

The circus is coming...

The following video shows some super sweet clips of Britney's new tour. I didn't buy tix to the show and now I almost wish I had. I'm not a huge fan of the gal but I know she can put on a show. Watch. xx.

Britney - Womanizer. LIVE.

Britney Spears is back on the performance scene promoting her new album CIRCUS. She looks absolutely amazing but damn...she has completely carbon copied Madonna's latest incarnation 100%. Check out both diva's looks below - you agree? Ummm yeah. I do, too. While I'm disappointed that dear Britney still chooses to NEVER sing a note live, I'm glad that she is back in the spotlight doing such groovy and interesting stage shows. I'm still thinking about heading to Good Morning America this week to see Britney live. It would be a shame to miss out on a free show that is just a few blocks from my apartment. If I do go, you'll be the first to know. xx.

New Britney!

Is Britney on the way back?

Despite reports that Britney Spears would NOT be performing during the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, a new video has leaked to the web showing Britney performing an unheard song with a troupe of dancers which is adding fuel to the VMA fire. It has been confirmed that she'll appear on the show but it has been reported that she would not be performing but rather just playing a part in the opening. In a statement released to MTV, Britney said that "MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs? I'm excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated." Could this video be a sneak peek at  an upcoming single or video she is preparing or could the VMA rumors be true after all? Regardless, Britney's moves are solid in the clip below. It's good to have her back. I'll guess we'll have to see tomorrow night, when the show is broadcast, what she has in store. xox.


Video: Britney's Back!

A new Spears emerges...

Britney Spears, who may or may not be planning to revisit the MTV Video Music Awards this year as a performer, is appearing in promotional clips for the big awards show that takes place in September. She appears aside English entertainer Russel Brand. The clips are quite cute. They show an endearing and surprisingly fully functional Spears. I hope the rumors are true. After all the ridiculous drama that has filled her life over the past few years, I'm ready for a proper Brit Brit comeback. Are you?? Oh and I love how in the clips below the duo fail to mention that certain something in the room. Brilliant. xox.

Britney back in the bin.

So it seems that dear Britney was put back on psychiatric lock down again last night. I'm not going to get in to any of the details being reported all over the web. It's very likely that most of it is pure speculation but I thought I would post a little video of Britney taken this week. I was going to post this anyway because it's just so weird but with the news of her going back to the loony bin, I thought it was more apt than ever. You may or may not have heard that Britney has been speaking in a British accent recently. It's not so much British as a combination of squeaks and squawks mixed with a Southern drawl coupled with some Mary Poppins goodness. I thought she only did this "voice" every once in a while but girlfriend does it ALL THE TIME. The video was taken of Britney in a screaming match with her manager bag holder Osama "Sam" Lufti. Just watching the video you'll understand that Britters was running fast towards being committed. There are so many things wrong with this video. I hope this is the beginning of a fresh start with dear Britney. I've learned to not get my hopes up, sadly. We shall see.

Rosie on Britney.

"I remember the tunnel as it appeared on the news, lit by headlights, flashlights, red lights. Between the cement tall pillars was a heap of twisted metal. I saw it then, and I can see it now. Diana dead.

She will be trying to get away, but they will chase her, just as they chased her into that church yesterday. There were dozens of them, jostling their way into sanctuary, elbowing past each other, just to creep closer to her. Even her last-minute, folded-hand prayers can’t be kept sacred. There can be no silent moments in a crowd; no silence, and no secrets.

All this fresh, painful frailty costs her so much, but it lines their pockets very well. A kings ransom was paid for those tabloid-ready cheap shots of her with messy hair, tear-soaked eyes, and the half-smile of a desperate baby girl.

“I’m scared,” she told them yesterday, when they later mobbed her at court. “Move back,” she said. “I’m scared. Stop it. Stop it. I want to get back in the car. Just stop it. Let me get in the car, please.”

Sometimes it really is too much. Internal wires cross. Anxiety hits. Panic sets in the heart. Dread. Fear.

But she asked for it, she’s a public figure.

At eight years old, she bravely stood before a microphone. By 17, she had sold 25 million records. Where were the sidewalk-skinned knees, the chalk stained hands, the monkey bars, the passed notes? A Disney set is not a childhood, no matter how many bright colors they use, or how cheerful the script.

Not a girl, barely even a woman yet, they chased her. A mob of stalkers for whom no stalking laws have been written. Smother. Crush. Flash. Photo Credit. Even Dr. “Get Real” Phil got in on the action. Unreal.

83 million albums sold so far. How many pictures?

The tunnel is crowded now. There are only inches of separation between vulnerability and disaster."

- Rosie's statement on lil' Brit Brit posted today on her blog.

How low can you go?

So unless you are living in a cave, it's no news that last night Britney went a little bonkers, held her child hostage in a room in her home and was later apprehended and taken to Cedars Sinai Hospital for medical psychological treatment. There are times when you wanna make jokes and speculate on what in the hell is going on with our dear Britney Spears. There are other times when it's best to sit back and let someone who does it so well cover it for you. :-)

Taken directly from Gawker.com who asks the question -

What Was Britney On Last Night, Anyway?

Answer: We don't know! But will that stop us from guessing? Never!
Our diagnosis:

WAS IT ACETAMINOPHEN? We know for a fact that Britney has two little headaches running around all day, so no doubt she probably pops a Tylenol now and then. Howevs, side effects don't normally include an overwhelming desire to prevent bodyguards from taking back custody of your children. We're going with NO.

WAS IT POT? Anyone who's seen Britney knows her fingers are oft-laced with Cheedle [Ed. Note - Rich Hall, where art thou?]. And, obvs, we've all seen this video. But we think that her grass-smoking days stopped when K. Fed exited stage left. Hence, we're going with NO.

WAS IT ECSTASY? Hmmm, she was spotted smiling in the ambulance. And E -- do the kids still call it that? -- does make you smile a lot. But then again, there were no reports of lollipops spilling out of her pockets or any odd requests for the ambulance driver to play some Oakenfold. We're going with NO.

WAS IT COCAINE? According to PageSix.com, she locked herself in her bathroom when authorities arrived. What could she have been doing in there? From our experiences dealing with people with the sniffles, they do go to the bathroom a lot. But when they come out, they don't go "completely psycho", they just talk a lot faster. So we're gonna go with NO to blow.

WAS SHE SOBER? If you are prone to read the bargain basement glossies like Life & Style, you might believe she wasn't on anything at all. Call us crazy, but we're also going with NO on that one.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Thank you, Gawker.com - You rock as a rule. I don't know what to think about all this! What I do know is that Brit Brit has kicked off the year with a BANG! Sadly, her life is 100 times more entertaining than anything she has ever done on stage. Is there a way back home? We shall see.

Pregnant Jamie Lynn Speaks Out!

This is just silly and cute...

Night and Day.

This has been out for a while but when I initially featured this on here, the video was removed from YouTube so I had to take down my post. Well, the video is back up so lucky lucky you! It shows Britney's actual choreography for the infamous VMA show done by her stand-in and the hired professional dancers for that night's performance. Britney is completely capable of pulling off those moves. She's done harder routines before! You can see what the show might have looked like had she put any amount of effort in to it. It's a darn shame. Check it out! xox.

To refresh your memory, this is how Britney did it!

Talent! Talent! Talent!

Even though Ms. Brit Brit is a big ol' mess, her music is getting people dancing. Blake McGrath is a choreographer and quite a good one indeed. Blake, with the help of some friends, worked out some choreography for one of Britney's tracks from her latest album. When I say "worked out" some choreography, that is slightly an understatement. They killed it. It's so so soooo good. Put this kid to work! There has to be some fledgling Diva in need of some moves. This guys has got every single one of them. Damn!

It's good, y'all.

BRITNEY - BLACKOUT.

The album has been out for over a week and it is safe for me to report that I LOVE IT! Britney is a mess and her life is in shambles but she has a HOT album on her hands. Toy Soldier is my fave so far. The album has some tracks that are completely dance floor worthy. I don't mind saying one bit how much I love the album but I just wish she would get her S%#@ together. She is worthy of years of hit making goodness if she wants it. Listen below. You will love it too! xox.

Sorry...but isn't this funny?! and gross!

Gimme More?

Booooooring. Below you will find the video for Brit Brit's comeback single Gimme More. I'm SO not impressed. She is as "fit" as she was during her infamous VMA appearance and has about the same amount of energy. This is truly an amateur event. Wake me up when she takes her career seriously, k?

I Heart the NY Daily News!

Once again, the New York Daily News has come up with an awesome headline about lil' Ms. Britney Spears. They nailed it!

The New York Daily News was also the paper who gave us this hilarious headline.

Bravo!

DON'T DISAPPOINT TYRA!

(Thanks Jerry!)

Warning: Turn Down Your Volume Before Listening

Sadly, I think the guy is 100% serious. Eeeeek.

Madonna Monday!

Camille Paglia who is a modern social critic and author has never been one to hold her tongue when it comes to things she feels strongly about. Last year she had the following to say “A great promise was contained in the moment when Madonna kissed Britney at the MTV Awards. She in a sense was saying,”I’m passing the torch to you.” It was a fabulous moment. Britney looked toned, in control of her career and it was up to her to take the next step. Literally from that kiss, from that moment onward, Britney has spiraled out of control. It’s like Madonna gave her the kiss of death! Britney is throwing it away!” The kiss has been the subject of conversation for not just Camille but anyone who saw that (in)famous kiss on the evening of August 28th 2003. Madonna opened the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards with Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott. They performed Madge's 80s hit Like A Virgin as well as her most recent hit from the American Life album titled Hollywood. The show begins with two flower girls dressing the stage with flowers. Madonna's own daughter Lourdes was one of those lil' ladies. She made her stage debut that night looking adorable as ever. Britney and Christina began the show singing Like a Virgin giving it their own personal sound. Madonna then appeared atop the giant wedding cake that towered on the stage reminiscent of her 1984 VMA Like a Virgin performance. Instead of donning a wedding dress like Britney and Christina , Madonna appeared in a form fitting tuxedo-esque outfit playing the role of groom to her two brides. If you can get past Madonna's shaky first few notes (Everybody comes to Hollywood) then the rest is smooth sailing. Her routine with Britney and Christina is spot on from start to finish. During the performance Madonna gives quite a smooch to the young ladies in what has been called the "kiss heard around the world". Even though both Britney and Christina got kissed that evening, it was the kiss with Britney that made all the headlines. Also featured in the performance was Missy Elliot. Missy burst on to the stage directly following the kiss, taking the heat off the ladies for just a second, with her track Work It mixed sweetly with Madonna's Hollywood. While the marriage theme was only symbolic in regards to the performance, a marriage of talents was quite literal following the show. Madonna would later go on to work with Britney on her track Me Against The Music. She also worked with Missy on a remix for the song Hollywood as well as a new spin on an old Madonna hit which would be used in the GAP commercial the duo did together called Into the Hollywood Groove. What I love about the performance is the reaction they get from the crowd. The "Fab 5" of Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy are overjoyed with the events unfolding in front of then while Justin Timberlake and Mary J. Blige are less than thrilled. Mary J. Blige could not look any less repulsed by what she is watching. Madonna has said in interviews that she was passing the torch to the two young starlets that evening but I don't think she believed that one bit. I think if anything she was letting these ladies know who was boss. Since the kiss, Madonna has had two massive world tours and released a string of hits. While Christina has followed suit with her hit making track record, Britney has had obvious hiccups in her professional and personal life. While the lives and careers of these talented ladies have gone in various directions, it is quite amazing how the collaboration of talents created one of the most talked about pop culture events in history. Even if it caused quite the controversy, I say "Bravo ladies, bravo". xoxox.

THE PERFORMANCE.

Bye Bye Britney

I was sooooooo pulling for Britney to rock the house with her VMA show opening number. All she did was prove to the world that she just isn't what she used to be. She lip synced the entire song and yet still managed to look like she was completely not able to keep up. I hate having to say it but every bit of it was so wrong. Her hair looked ratty, her dancing was wobbly and OMG what in the hell was she thinking with the outfit. I didn't realize what a beer gut she had on her until this moment. It's really a shame that she didn't knock this out of the park. It's going to be tough to change people's perception if she never proves them wrong. Sarah Silverman gave a vicious opening speech attacking Ms. Spears. SEE IT HERE. It was a show opening that will have people talking and for all the wrong reasons. Britney - Hire a stylist, lower your meds and get it together girl! Yikes. It was a complete and utter disaster from start to finish.

Tonight is the night...

Britney opens the MTV Video Music Awards tonight. Britney will perform her new single called Gimme More from her long awaited album due in November. It is her chance to get started on that weeeeee little itty bitty comeback that has been talked about for aaaaaaaages now. There is something about Britney that I still want to root for. She is a train wreck. She is a messy messy girl who flashes her unmentionables more than I'd ever want to admit. She continues to make questionable decisions in full view of the hungry photographers waiting outside her door. But ya know what? I just love Britney. She is still capable of pop culture fodder and phenomenon for years and years to come if she wants it bad enough. No lie - I think her new song is awesome. It just is. It's got sexiness, attitude and is more fun than anything I've heard in a while (besides Rhianna's music - I love her too!). If she can begin to let her stage show outshine her "reality" show than she will be on her way to some good good good stuff. Below is Britney rehearsing for her big performance. Looks promising! Check it out!! xox.

Gimme More.

LISTEN TO BRITNEY'S NEW SONG HERE. I WANT THIS MESS OF A POP STAR TO MAKE IT BACK TO THE OTHER SIDE. SHE USED TO BE SO FUN. THIS SONG IS A VERY GOOD START. I'M NOT HOLDING MY BREATH THOUGH. SHE ATTACKED A CAR WITH AN UMBRELLA - ENOUGH SAID.

Just what we all need...

My friend Gary at UrbanTechnocrat.com posted the following video that was so appropriate. Hey, if Britney is doing it, shouldn't we?! I think I'll get Cackles one of these!

Yeeee haaaaw...now pose.

Is Britney ready to get back on stage? Rumors are flying that the Pop Princess (Yes - Madonna is still the Queen! - Hello!) is geting ready to do a series of surprise shows in the coming weeks out and about in Los Angeles. I don't know if this is at all true but I love seeing Brit Brit looking so good. She is seen above leaving a rehearsal this past week. I don't know if it's all the lypo cardio she has been doing but she looks totally hot. I'm not a fan of the country bumkin/show girl look but that body...damn...amazing. It's Friday, y'all. Finally! This week has been hell so I'm so so so excited about the weekend ahead. xox.

Afternoon linkage...

A new exhibit in New York has been given the ax. In the works for an unveiling on Monday was a life-size chocolate sculpture of a naked Jesus in the front window of the Roger Smith Lab Gallery in Midtown Manhattan. The sculpture is named - get this - "The Sweet Lord". On Friday the gallery was inundated with calls from local Roman Catholics who planned a mass boycott and protest of the gallery if they decided to go through with their display. Under pressure, the gallery has decided they have no other choice but to cancel the exhibit. The gallery's artistic director has offered his resignation to protest the cancellation. I assume this is not an exhibit that will be melting in anyones mouth anytime soon. Bill Donohue, head of the watchdog Catholic League, said it was "one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever." Oh really? I would have thought that would have been the abuse of young children under the hands of priests that have come to light in the past few years. Hmmm, very interesting. I think it is time for people to lighten up.(AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)

In some of the best news for Britney Spears' career is the news that her divorce from K-Fed is official. "The parties signed a global settlement on all issues of their marriage and the custody of the children." a spokesman for Federline's attorney told People Magazine. Now, Brit Brit quit publicly shaving yourself and attacking cars with umbrellas and start taking care of those kids and your music career.

All Mashed Up...

I had seen this video below a while ago but while reading one of my favorite lil' blogs, Josh and Josh are Rich and Famous, I was reminded how much I enjoyed it and thought it was hiiiiilarious. If you haven't heard of Amy Winehouse, you need to. If you haven't heard about Britney's rehab visit, where have you been?! Not sure of the orginal creator of this mash up but I'm a huge fan. Amy's song "Rehab" gets a new visual treatment. However, after you have watched the video below, you can see Amy sing it here. Enjoy.

Late day linkage...

Helen Mirren goes commando at the Oscars? Helen, speaking about her one of a kind Christian Lacroix gown, told Oprah Winfrey on Oscar night "It was all made for me so I didn't have to have any underwear." Grasping her breasts to illustrate her point, she added: "It fitted me like two angel's hands. I cried when I put it on, it is a work of art."

Is Former Vice President Al Gore being called a hypocrite? He is by some who say his Nashville mansion uses way too much energy. "In general, I applaud his efforts to reduce energy consumption, but if he is going to be a spokesman for global warming, he has to be willing to make the same sacrifices." said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

UPDATE: My friend Carrie posted a comment that read: I've read that we should take the Gore report with a grain of salt. Some research has shown that the Tennessee Center for Policy Research is supported only by conservative people, which makes their research suspect. I completely agree with Carrie. I'm absolutely sure that any "research" they have done is going to be biased. I'm sure the folks who run the Tennessee Center for Policy Research are the same type of folks who won't even admit Global Warming is even an issue. Thanks Carrie!

Wanna be featured in a Gucci advertisement? All you need is a camera, some Photoshop skills and the know the right people to call. A Swiss man shot his own Gucci ad and then acting as a representative from Gucci sent the photo to the Swiss Sonntags- Zeitung Newspaper to be included in Sunday's edition. He told the newspaper to send Gucci the bill. They did! The conman has managed to dupe the owners of Swiss newspaper into publishing a two-page advert he created of himself posing semi-naked beside a bottle of Gucci perfume. The man, who claimed to represent the Italian fashion giant, called up the Swiss weekly Sonntags- Zeitung last week to book the expensive colour spread in Sunday's edition. Brilliant! I bet a a ton of starving models wished they thought of that. What great exposure! (Until he is caught, at least!)
