Britney Spears on iPhone
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert on the November 17, 2009
Britney Spears went crazy on Twitter this past weekend as she kept hyping us about this amazing new iPhone application of hers. The app has several features, including a ‘Be Britney’s Dancer’ feature which places your face over one of the pop star’s dancers and something called ‘The Sparkler’ that you’re supposed to activate when you go to one of the singer’s concerts. It sparkles. The best part about it is it also yells out “It’s Britney, bitch!” when you shake your phone! That’s a riot! It also gives you updates on what’s going on with the life of Britney.
Britney Spears is Upset with Australia
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert on the November 13, 2009
Britney Spears’ first tour in Australia continues to feel the heat and it’s making the pop star upset. After being criticized by the media for lip synching and reports of fans walking out of her concert, the singer’s tour promoter quickly came to her defense saying “Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it. She’s a human being. I’m embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.” Britney has always lip synched her performance and everyone is aware of that. So what’s with all the fuss?

Posted in American Idol, Billboard's Top Music, Britney Spears, Taylor Hicks on the October 16, 2009
Britney Spears’ latest single ‘3’ from her upcoming collection ‘The Singles’ has debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart! The pop singer is the first artist in over three years to debut at the top spot. The last one to have done that was American Idol winner Taylor Hicks with ‘Do I Make You Proud’ from 2006. This is also Britney’s third time at the top of mountain on the Billboard Hot 100. ‘…Baby One More Time’ was at the number one spot in 1999 and ‘Womanizer’ ruled just last year. It looks like three is the lucky number for her. Congratulations!
Britney Spears sparks fears about state of mind
Posted in Britney Spears, Concert on the September 15, 2009
Singer Britney Spears has sparked fears about her state of mind.
A source told British Reveal magazine: “In public and on stage she seems to be holding it together, but behind closed doors it’s a different story. She’s all over the place. She keeps having the same conversations over and over again with people.”
The source added: “She keeps forgetting her song lyrics and tells record bosses she loves new songs one day and hates them the next.
“The reality is that her comeback was too soon and now there are serious concerns for Britney’s mental health again. Everyone’s hoping it’s just a blip and she’ll continue to make progress, but only time will tell.”

Singer Jordan Sparks was too awestruck to talk to Britney Spears when she first met her
Posted in Britney Spears, Jordan Sparks, MTV VMA on the September 8, 2009
Singer Jordan Sparks was too awestruck to talk to Britney Spears when she first met her.
Jordan, who is currently on tour with Britney, hadn’t spoken to the star before the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13.
Sparks was seated next to Spears, 27, at the event but got star-struck and didn’t talk to the Womaniser singer much.
The 19-year-old told MTV: “Well, I didn’t say anything.
“I [didn't] know what to say, ’cause it was her big comeback thing. She was nominated for however many [awards], and she looked beautiful, and I was like, ‘Aaah!’”
In the end Sparks’ mother managed to get a picture of Jordan with Brit.
She said: “My mom had to ask her for a picture.
She added: “My mom was with me, ’cause I couldn’t do it. I was like, ‘Mom, I cannot ask her for this picture.’”
Britney was reluctant to take the picture at first but then Jordan managed to get one.
Sparks said: “Then Larry [Rudolph], who is her manager, was like, ‘She’s on your label; you’re going to want to take the picture.’ And I was like, ‘Cool!’ ”
“And I understand too because she wanted to sit and watch. But we got to take the picture!”

Heidi Montag Wants to be Britney Spears
Posted in Britney Spears, Heidi Montag, MTV VMA on the August 28, 2009
Heidi Montag took the stage to perform her song ‘Body Language’ at the Miss Universe pageant last Sunday in a sequined bra and skin tight pants that were reminiscent of Britney Spears’ outfit for her 2000 MTV VMAs performance. ‘The Hills’ star and aspiring singer apparently wanted to draw the comparison as Heidi said “I grew up watching Britney Spears. That’s someone I inspire to be, you know, like, career wise. I think the world is ready for the next pop star and I’m ready to be the next pop galaxy, so here we go.” It was her first performance. She hasn’t even broken the pop bubble.
Britney Spears’ Stalker Gets Sentenced
Posted in Britney Spears, Video on the August 27, 2009
As it has been reported, 26-year old Miranda Tozier-Robbins was caught outside of Britney Spears’ Calabasas home a few months ago after security found her dressed in army gear and spying through the singer’s windows with a video camera in hand. The crazed girl was arrested and issued a restraining order. However, during her sentencing last week, the woman was cleared of trespassing and was instead found guilty of misdemeanor peeking. She was then sentenced to three years probation along with a fine of $100 plus penalties and 240 hours of community service. She will also still have to keep the terms of her restraining order and stay 100 yards away from Britney, her kids and her home at all times.

Britney Spears Settles
Posted in Singer on the June 10, 2009
As one legal battle closes for Britney Spears, she’s got a lifetime’s worth more to go. The recovered pop star’s camp has finally settled a lawsuit with former manager Johnny Wright, with whom Britney had been working with until 2003. Details of the settlement have not been released though. Additionally, the Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Gotez, who has been overseeing Brit’s conservatorship and money exchanges, has ruled that Brit’s camp needs to fork over another $193,000 in legal fees to the attorneys who handled the case. Being Britney is an expensive job. It’s a good thing that she got her career back on track.
KFed’s Babysitting Fees are High
Posted in Britney Spears on the June 8, 2009
Kevin Federline has taken his nanny show overseas as he is following Britney Spears abroad and will make a small fortune this month by babysitting their two sons. A source says that the recovered pop star will take Sean Preston and Jayden James everywhere she tours and her next stop is Europe. And per their custody agreement, KFed needs to tag along. During the month of June, KFed will rake in approximately $30,000 for his babysitting services, on top of the $20,000 he already gets a month in child support. If it means Britney can see her kids while she’s on the road, why not right?

Britney Spears Has Some Odd Requests
Posted in Britney Spears, DVD, Music on the May 8, 2009
Britney Spears will be staying at the Dorchester Hotel for the London leg of her tour this summer. Not surprisingly, the recovered pop star has a few odd requests. Among her requests are a room that has never been smoked in, several humidifiers, a few magazines, fresh flowers to arrange to her pleasing, DVDs of her favorite Marilyn Monroe films, chick literature, 100 watt light bulbs, a map of running routs for Hyde Park as well as some horse-back riding opportunities and a list of different routes from the hotel to the venue to evade paparazzi. As long as father Jamie Spears approves, what Britney wants, Britney gets.
Taylor Swift Causes Traffic Jam
Posted in Britney Spears, Music, Taylor Swift on the May 4, 2009
Cops sealed off traffic in all directions, blasted sirens to clear a path and forced hundreds of frustrated drivers into gridlock all so Taylor Swift could get to the airport on time. Students at Bishop Ireton High School in Virginia were thrilled that the country singing cutie showed up to their school but the people stuck in the wake of her traffic-stopping motorcade were might pissed when they found out who was behind the delay. Taylor went straight to Dulles Airport where she boarded a private jet. And get this – Taylor was in such a mad rush so she can make it to Britney Spears’ Chicago show. Britney recently got the same police escort treatment when she had a concert in LA.
Britney Extends Tour
Posted in Britney Spears, Music, World Tour on the April 30, 2009
It’s been a very good week for Britney Spears. First, the Los Angeles Superior Court judge has issued her former manager Sam Lutfi a three year restraining order preventing him from having any contact with the pop star and her children. Now, it’s been revealed that Brit will be extending her ‘The Circus’ tour. She will be making a trip to Europe this summer after a run of 39 North American tour dates. Her European leg will kick off on June 3rd when she performs 8 nights in London’s O2 Arena followed by stops in Ireland, France, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. Her tour will wrap up on July 16th in Finland.
Pussycat Dolls Unleashes Claws
Posted in Concert, Music, Pussycat Dolls on the April 29, 2009
Some major drama went down during the opening set of the Pussycat Dolls for Britney Spears this past weekend as it looks like the growing resentment amongst the girls has reached its boiling point. Sources keep talking about tension in the group over the fact that lead singer Nicole Scherzinger is distancing herself from the rest of the group and their last two singles being released as The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole. At their performance last week, PCD member Melody Thornton took a moment to address her hometown crowd saying “Thank you for supporting me even though I’m not featured! Don’t let anyone stomp on your dreams!” Nicole was then seen shooting Melody the nastiest look.
Britney Spears may take her Circus tour Down Under.
Posted in Music on the April 24, 2009
Pop princess Britney Spears could play a number of dates in Australia if lawyers representing the star get the ok from a Los Angeles court.
Attorneys representing Britney and father Jamie Spears’ conservatorship over the star discussed in court today the possibility of extending her successful Circus tour by adding new dates in Australia and Europe.
Nothing was finalised in the meeting and another court date has been set for April 14.
Under the rules of the conservatorship – a legal agreement that has seen Jamie Spears effectively take control of all of his daughter’s affairs – lawyers and the court must first agree to the new dates being added.
The conservatorship has been in place since February 1, 2008, and was recently extended indefinitely in December.
The Circus tour, which is currently in Canada, moves to the UK June 3 in London, for eight sell-out shows before closing in Manchester June 17.
Miley Cyrus has knocked Britney Spears off her perch as queen of the teens
Posted in Music on the April 22, 2009
The Hannah Montana star was voted number one in an online poll which was last year topped by the Toxic pop princess.
Nearly a third of people who answered the PopEater.com survey said 16-year-old Miley was now their favorite teen idol, although just 10 per cent thought she was the best overall role model.
Pop hunks The Jonas Brothers scooped second place, with 27 per cent of the vote.
And comeback-queen Britney, who fell out of favour as America’s sweetheart after last year’s public meltdown, bagged third place.
A quarter of those surveyed thought she was top.
Meanwhile, country singer Taylor Swift easily beat off competition for the celebrity who has the best influence on young people, with Spears nabbing just four per cent of that vote.
The Backstreet Boys were voted the greatest teen idols of the 90s, Kirk Cameron scooped that title for the 80s and David Cassidy was the singer of choice for the 70s.
Saturday Night Fever star John Travolta made a comeback in the survey, being named the hottest former teen idol by 54 per cent of those who responded.
A total of 57,000 PopEater.com readers took the questionnaire, which also named former sex-addict Rob Lowe as the most scandalous idol of all time.

Britney Spears Uses Highway Patrol to Avoid Traffic
Posted in Music on the April 22, 2009
How does Britney Spears get off using motorcycle officers to clear a path for her on an LA freeway during rush hour? The recovered starlet footed the bill for a California Highway Patrol escort last week which took her 28 miles from her Calabasas home to the Staples Center in Downtown LA. How can officers use horns and flashing lights to clear a path even when there’s no emergency? A CHP official said that the department provides the same service for the President, Rose Bowl teams, for movie details and other things and that officers “can use the tools at their disposal, including lights and sirens, to expedite the flow of traffic and ensure safety.”
