Britney Spears is a Womanizer
Posted in Album Release, Britney Spears on the October 6, 2008
A preview of Britney Spears’ first single ‘Womanizer’ got leaked via Nashville, Tennessee’s 107.5 The River. The song is off the recovering starlet’s much-anticipated sixth studio album ‘Circus’ which will officially drop in stores on December 2. There were other song leaks that have been making waves over the internet. I guess those were just buzz makers to get people interested. I haven’t heard the song yet, leak or the real thing, but I’m hoping that it’s good. Britney needs a lot of good things to happen to her this year. Let’s just call it a reward for all the progress that she’s made.
VMA Success
Posted in Britney Spears, MTV VMA on the September 23, 2008
2008’s MTV Video Music Awards definitely delivered as the ratings were 15% higher in the key 18-34 demographic than the 2007 broadcast and 41% higher than in 2006. The show was also the highest-rated telecast in all of cable in the 12-34 demographic this year. It’s obvious that casting the unknown British comic Russell Brand didn’t hurt them any. Even MTV.com got a boost this year at its VMA-related pages delivered more than 10 million page views – a 110% increase over the last year. But we all know that there’s a certain someone that MTV needs to thank for the massive ratings – Britney Spears. You know you tuned it just to see her.
No Britney Spears Performance on VMAs
Posted in Britney Spears, MTV VMA on the September 10, 2008
There have been lots of rumors that Britney Spears will possibly be performing at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards especially after she appeared in one of the show’s commercials. However, her manager recently announced that the singer will not be part of the show. Larry Rudolph told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show that “Britney Spears will not be performing at the VMAs this year. I’m telling you officially and enequivocally.” Not even appearing? Oh come on! She can’t be working that hard on her next album. But kudos go out to her if she is. Let her take her time before getting back on stage.
Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears Reunion
Posted in Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Reunion on the August 29, 2008
Britney Spears was seen stopping by Conway Recording studios in Los Angeles last week. Do you remember a piece of news last year about Britney recording with her ex Justin Timberlake? I wonder if that can still be done. It would be hot if it happened. The former couple was actually supposed to work together and record a duet for her ‘Blackout’ album but the then troubled pop star failed to show up. The piece of news even said that it would be her comeback if it did happen. Well, she’s more poised to make a comeback this year. Maybe it can still happen.
Britney Spears set for MTV comeback
Posted in Britney Spears, MTV, MTV VMA, Video on the August 11, 2008
Britney Spears is looking back to her old self and it seems the people who matter are taking notice.
Bosses at MTV could be set to ask her to return to September’s Video Music Awards (VMAs) despite her disastrous performance just 12 months ago.
She gave a dreadful and out of time rendition of single Gimme More at the bash in Las Vegas. She was later spotted crying backstage.
So could Brit be set for her second “comeback” in as many years?
MTV president Van Toffler revealed: “Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?”
Let’s hope Britney gets it right this time. Otherwise she might not get that third and final strike before she’s down and out.
Madonna to reunite Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert, Justin Timberlake, Madonna on the July 17, 2008
Madonna wants to reunite Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. The 49-year-old singer is reportedly trying to get the former lovers to join her on stage for her ‘Sticky and Sweet’ world tour.
A source said: “Madonna is always trying to raise the bar and Britney and Justin on the same stage would be perfect.”
Madonna is said to be hoping to convince Britney and Justin - who split in 2002 after four years together - to appear with her on the final US date of the tour in Miami, in November.
The source added: “They have both been asked but I think they are both a bit reluctant. Britney would find it all a bit emotional and Justin might not be interested. More likely is that they will both appear at different dates. But if anyone can make it happen it’s Madonna.”
Britney, 26, has already recorded a video segment to be screened on the tour. Filmed in a lift, it shows her in a white vest getting hot and sweaty as she kicks and punches the walls. Madonna has also asked Britney to appear live with her as a surprise guest at some dates on the tour.
Justin, 27, was heavily involved with the making of Madonna’s latest album ‘Hard Candy’, and Madonna has also asked him to duet with her during the tour.
Justin appears on her worldwide hit single ‘4 Minutes’ from the new album and has writing credits on five of its tracks.
Madonna’s ‘Sticky and Sweet’ world tour kicks off in Cardiff, Wales, on August 23, and takes in Europe, North America and Mexico.

Is Britney Spears Broke?
Posted in Britney Spears, Rumor on the January 30, 2008
There doesn’t seem to be a light at the end of her tunnel any time soon. Britney keeps heading father and farther down….apparently into debt.
Seems she doesn’t have the cash flow she ought to have. She was at a local drug store in San Fernando Valley, her American Express card was declined. She argued with her companions about who had the money to cover the tab, and finally Sam Lufti paid.
That wasn’t the end of her spree, though. She still ran to the Beverly Hills Hotel, a Mercedes dealership, and the mall. No word on what she was doing at the dealership, but we can only hope she was buying some clothes at the mall!
Blackout Reviews
Posted in Britney Spears, Live Music, Music Award, Music Review, New LP, Photography, Pop Music, Records Sale, Singers, Song on the October 30, 2007
Even if you don’t listen to her album and just judge it by what she’s been doing over the time it was recorded and promoted, you all know the Britney Spears’ ‘Blackout’ album is pretty much the nail in the coffin of her career. The Wall Street Journal thinks so too when they did a review on her album.
They said “A phalanx of producers and backing vocalists exert more of an influence on a disc that’s not quite a mess but only occasionally rises above a muddle… as a vocalist, Ms. Spears sounds weary, snide and at times disconnected. On some songs, her voice seems grafted to the material as if an afterthought… At the bottom register, her voice is a throaty bleat… With Blackout, Ms. Spears fails to deliver a recording that will re-establish her as a dominant pop star rather than a 25-year-old woman who seems bent on self-destruction.”
Britney’s Booklet Gets Leaked
Posted in Book, Britney Spears, Celebs, Music, Music People, New LP, New Single, News, Performance on the October 29, 2007
Much like the last Harry Potter book except no one really cares for this one, Britney Spears’ CD booklet for her upcoming album ‘Blackout’ has been leaked. Photos of the cover and each page of the booklet popped up on line earlier in the week.
The entire CD has also leaked and some are saying that the top three tracks are ‘Hot as Ice’, ‘Piece of Me’ and ‘Break the Ice’. Her album is scheduled to be released nationwide on Tuesday, October 30th.
Who’s willing to bet that the leak was another publicity stunt to create more hype for her comeback album? Newsflash folks, it’s not working.
Britney to Flop
Posted in Britney Spears, Music, New LP, New Single, News on the October 22, 2007
I did say that I think Britney Spears’ latest effort is going to tank. To those who are still believing in some wayward miracle that it would succeed, eat the facts. Her single ‘Gimme More’ isn’t exactly burning up on the radio and pre-sales of her album ‘Blackout’ are more than a little disappointing.
According to FOX News, ‘Gimme More’ is pretty much dead on the radio with Radio & Records reporting that the single is at the bottom of every chart. Britney’s supposed comeback album, due out in less than two weeks, is at #76 on Amazon.com which means that very few people are actually interested.
Britney’s ‘Blackout’ Album Cover
Posted in Album Release, Britney Spears, Music, Music People, New LP, New Single, Photography on the October 14, 2007
Low and behold, Britney Spears’ new album cover for ‘Blackout’ is finally here. Her album, which had an original release date of November 3, was pushed forward to October 30th because of “numerous unauthorized online leaks.” I think the better question is how much will it sound like all her other albums? I don’ think there will be any ground breaking sounds, just differently processed music which all the tweens and teens will love. Cover looks like ur first Photoshop lesson.. Unreal for someone so high up in the buis.. she can afford better artwork and as for buying her CD.. HELL NO!!.. Why would u.. it’s just gonna be the same old if not worse.. her music is only big cause she was cute, with a hot body, and had catchy songs which kids liked.. She can’t sing!! But that’s doesn’t mean the Album won’t sell there are youngsters who are up and coming and would like to know more on the crap album she has made, the high publicity could help too.
Britney Gets Pasty
Posted in Britney Spears, Music, Music People, New Single, Singers, Song, Video on the October 12, 2007
If you thought that Britney Spears video for her not so hit of a single ‘Gimme More’ wasn’t bad enough, apparently, there’s an uncut version of the video making its way around the internet. The uncut version, much like the released one, sees Britney dancing around a stripper pole but this time, she’s topless!Britney can be seen taking off her leather vest and then thrusts her body to the beat while holding up her boobs with her bare hands. Yes, she may have pasties over her nipples but it’s still rather gratuitous.
Is she looking for work as a stripper now?
More Britney Songs Leaked
Posted in Britney Spears, Hit Song, Music, Music People, New LP, News, Photography on the October 8, 2007
Talk about wanting as much publicity as possible. Ten new songs have leaked which are reportedly part of Britney Spears’ new album ‘Blackout’ which is due on November 13.
However, only one song seems to be legit. And by legit, we mean, it could be on her album. The rest, eh.
That one song is called ‘Radar’. It was produced by the same team that produced the hit ‘Toxic’, Bloodshy & Avant. Given that, the song is disappointing. It’s good but not great. I would have expected more.
Britney is in dire need of a hit if she expects to make a successful comeback. But with songs like these, I doubt it’s possible.
Britney’s Bodyguard Tells
Posted in Britney Spears, Drugs, Music People, News, Scandal on the September 25, 2007
In case you missed all the drama this weekend, Britney Spears’ bodyguard Tony Barretto has literally been on a rampage talking to every tabloid and press outlet about the troubled superstar. This is sad, but I do believe Britney might hurt herself and her children. In her state of mind she could see it as getting back at Kevin.I think he is telling the truth…no one on the Spears side is refuting any of it and it’s what he told the judge as well in his statement.She needs help and the judge really should have taken the kids away,even he himself admitted she was a habitual user of drugs and alcohol. Her life is an absolute disaster at this point. I’m always afraid I’ll hear something tragic has happened to her or her little ones. This can’t go on forever…it will have to end sometime.
Britney hit with charges, weeps again
Posted in Britney Spears, Drugs, Music People, News, Scandal on the September 23, 2007
My list of picks on Britney to come out of her mental retardations -
A. “How far does she have to fall before she asks for help?” Something catastrophic has to happen. Basically, that’s the bottom.
B. “Maybe she can share a cell with her pal Lindsay.” Neither Britney nor Lindsay are going to see the actual inside of a cell. Lindsay is one more screw up from jail. Britney, probably two, unless she commits a felony. Plus, Lindsay, Britney, and Paris were probably nothing more than “drug buddies.” I don’t think any of them are/were friends.
C. Addiction isn’t funny. At the end of the day, Britney Spears is still a human being. And the mother of two children, who will likely bear significant scars if she’s not there to raise them.
Britney’s Lawyer Aims to “Stop the Madness”
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, MTV VMA, Music, Music People, News, Photography on the September 15, 2007
It’s a mad, mad world out there—and details about Britney Spears’ family court proceedings won’t make it any saner, according to the struggling pop star’s attorney. Ok yeah K-fed is money hungry, we all know this. But at this point, which of a lesser two evils is better? On one hand you have a father who yes goes out, but also makes time to spend with his kids, who is trying to work, and actually doesn’t cut the children off from the rest of their family. Then you have Britney who seems to have some mental issues to get over, with her erratic mood swings, personally I think it’s Child actor syndrome gone mad. But you have a mom who doesn’t seem to want anyone around her who would help point her in a right direction in the goals of common sense in life. She has alienated 90% of the people in her inner circle who love and care about her and seems to put being in the media spot light before the needs of her children. It’s clear she needs the spotlight but right now those two little boys should be the spotlight and if Kevin needs more money to support them then he should have it and the kids full time. Like I said the lesser of two evils.

Britney No Pop Queen Anymore
Posted in Britney Spears, Celebs, Las Vegas, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award, Music People, Pop Music, Singers, TV Show on the September 11, 2007
Let’s face it Brittany coming out on MTV and trying to act sweet and innocent just does not cut it any more. Someone should tell her that she needs to change her style know she is a mom. I think that the guidance for her is lost somewhere in trying to sell something that is just not there anymore. She will never be a Madonna because she is not smart enough to reinvent herself. Brittany sit down and take a long look at yourself and ask yourself if you are proud of what you do and then figure out if the people in your life look out for your best interest.. If not take control girl… May be she is trying to hard to prove something that she was in the past but now she has lost it, Britney you were great no denying that but you could remain great if you just try being what you are today. Do not live in the past, the world changes every minute and you have to live your today not you past and today there are other pop queens’ and you are not one of them, accept it and you’ll be happier.
Kanye West Loses It Again, Says He’ll ‘Never Return To MTV’
Posted in 50 Cent, Britney Spears, Celebs, Kanye West, Las Vegas, MTV, MTV VMA, Music, Music Award, Music People, Performance, Photography, TV Show, Video on the September 11, 2007
Kanye West has never been shy about voicing his opinions, especially when it comes to awards shows.
In 2004, he walked out of the American Music Awards, claiming he was “robbed” in the Best New Artist category (see “Usher, Outkast Clean Up; Kanye Strikes Out At American Music Awards”). The following year, he promised hellfire and brimstone if his Late Registration album didn’t take home the Grammy for Album of the Year (see “Kanye’s At It Again: ‘If I Don’t Win Album Of The Year I’m Gonna Have A Problem’ “). And, perhaps most famously of all, he stormed the stage at the 2006 MTV Europe Music Awards after losing the award for Video of the Year And now, well, there’s another outburst to add to his highlight reel.
According to several sources backstage at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards — and a report published late Sunday night by The Associated Press — West lost it again, this time because his performance of “Stronger” took place in the Palms’ Hugh Hefner Sky Villa and not on the main stage
“Kanye was watching the closing performance [a medley featuring Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Nelly Furtado] on a closed-circuit monitor, and he started getting upset,” a source who was backstage told MTV News. “He started asking anyone who’d listen why he wasn’t allowed to perform on the main stage. ‘Why did I perform in just a suite?’ he was saying. ‘Justin’s my boy, but even he gets to perform in both a suite and on the main stage? Something’s wrong here.’ ”
According to the AP, West was also upset about being shut out of all five categories in which he was nominated . He reportedly yelled, “That’s two years in a row, man … I’m trying hard, man, I have the … #1 record, man.”
AP also reported that West claimed he would “never return to MTV.”
At a pre-VMA concert on Friday, West also expressed his frustration that Britney Spears would be opening the show instead of him, freestyling, “I can’t believe she would perform. She hasn’t had a hit record in years” . And according to MTV News’ source, he was claiming the same thing during his tirade.
“He said, ‘Brit hasn’t had a hit in like 5 million years and she opens the show?!?’ ” the source said.
