Shaggy To Work With Britney Spears & Robbie Williams?

The following italicized article is from www.mirror.co.uk:

The Boombastic Mr Lover Lover man Shaggy has revealed that he wants to do a reggae duet with both Britney Spears and Robbie Williams.

Talking to us ahead of the release of his greatest hits album, out this week, the It Wasn't Me star said: "Imagine Britney Spears doing a hardcore dancehall record, have her doing the dutty wine! Or Robbie Williams doing an old classic rubabdub dub riddim or something like that, something unique. It can’t be just a regular collaboration.”

He also said it was time for family to force Amy Winehouse into rehab for her own good - despite being a very public fan of jazz cigarettes himself.

The reggae star, who's sold more than 20million albums and had five UK Number One singles, said: "There's rock'n'roll behaviour and there's out of control and I think she's out of control. That's when you need some intervention."

X17 XCLUSIVE - Britney Turning To ''Sex & Sin''???

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

Britney sported the slogan on her Ed Hardy sweatshirt while leaving the recording studio late last night.

But we certainly don't think it's an indication that she's turning to the dark side -- just that she loves Christian Audigier's clothes!

Once again, we spotted a video camera (turned off) in the hands of her bodyguard/cameraman. And although it would be fascinating to get an inside look at Britney's recovery and comeback, do you really think the world (or Britney, for that matter!) is ready for another Chaotic?

I'm ready for a Britney comeback, but not another Chaotic!

Britney Spears Thinks Jamie Lynn is “Way Too Young” to Marry

The following italicized article is from www.transworldnews.com:

Britney Spears has reportedly vowed to support and protect little sister Jamie Lynn Spears. Sources say the pop star is determined to keep the 17-year-old from ending up in a marriage and divorce like her situation with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Spears allegedly believes the ‘Zoey 101’ actress is “way too young” to marry her fiancé and the father of her 2-month-old daughter, Casey Aldridge. “She is worried for her and doesn’t want Jamie Lynn to make the same mistakes she with Kevin Federline. She thinks she’s way too young to marry Casey – especially if he’s been cheating,” says an insider.

Jamie Lynn is rumored to have temporarily moved in with mom Lynne amid claims that Aldridge cheated on her while she was pregnant with baby Maddie.

Kevin Federline Britney Spears Battle Over Sons Showbusiness Careers

The following italicized article is from www.popcrunch.com:

The custody fight between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline may be over but successful co-parenting isn’t on the horizon for the exes anytime soon. The former couple are at war over Kev’s plans to manage showbusiness careers for sons Sean Preston and Jayden. The backup dancing reject can’t wait to turn Brit’s boys into the next generation of child star screwups.

Kevin has been secretly shuttling Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, to television and film auditions around the City of Angels.

“He thinks it would be a good outlet for them. Preston and Jayden are always singing and dancing around the house. They’re total clowns, even at their toddler playground, Mr. Gym.”

Well “Mama” isn’t having it. Britney wants her sons to have the childhood that was lost to her and will not encourage any interest Kevin has in introducing them to the entertainment industry.

Britney, who has been performing professionally since the age of eight, “blew up when Kevin asked her about letting the kids act,” a Star Magazine spywitness whispers. Britney “doesn’t want them to be used as cash cows.”

Kevin disagrees. “Kevin feels it’s okay as long as they are watched over carefully and not pushed into it,” the tabloid insider explains.

“Kevin hopes Britney will come around when she realizes how much fun they’re having.”

VMA Throwdown Thursday: Between Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, Who’d Win A VMA For Most-Improved?

The following italicized article is from www.mtv.com:

You’re probably so far beside yourself with the news that Christopher Mintz-Plasse (a.k.a. “McLovin!’”) will be presenting at the 2008 VMAs that you’re, like, sitting across the room from yourself.

Not that McLovin’ doesn’t deserve some serious VMA McLove, but you know who deserves even more love right now is former badgirl Lindsay Lohan. Not only is Lindsay presenting too, but she also totally deserves a VMA for Most-Improved, which is a new category that we just made up.

Of course, she’d have to beat out Britney Spears, who’s also done a total 180 this year and is basically like the old Britney but better, stronger and more domesticated than ever. Seriously Britney, even bestie-for-hire Paris Hilton has commented on your perfection, and trust us, she knows a few things about the power of reinvention. And, as you can see in the video below, LL Cool J is pretty much Britney’s numero uno fan right now.

So Britney should get a made-up Most-Improved Moonman too, and she should also FINALLY win an actual VMA since she’s been nominated for 16 VMAs and has never gone home with one (!!!). But you know what they say — 17th time’s a charm, and this year Brit has three chances to win since she’s nominated for three VMAs – Best Pop Video, Best Female Video, and Video of the Year.

And it’d be even more supremo dreamo fantastic if Britney came to the VMAs to pick up said hypothetical VMAs — real or fictional — in person. And now would be an ideal time for me to plead: Britney, PLEASE come to the VMAs! Pretty PWEASE!?

Anyway, who should win the Most-Improved VMA? Lindsay or Britney?

Britney Spears to Sing for Royal Family?

An insider tells me “she feels that this is a great seal of approval and knows that it's an honor to be asked. Plus, what a great comeback and who better than in front of the royal family?" ...

This Isn't Helping Those VMA Performance Rumors...

Pharrell Williams: Britney Spears 'Made Her Mark'

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

It's still a week early for the MTV Video Music Awards. But Britney Spears, who is up for three awards – including top honors – has a supporter in the form of hip-hop heavyweight Pharrell Williams.

"She's made her mark with her career," Williams told PEOPLE at Wednesday's Pepsi 500 Running Wide Open party in Hollywood, which he co-hosted. "She's super-talented. She's an entertainer."

Williams, 35, collaborated with Spears on her hits "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Boys."

"It was cool, it was fun," said Williams, who is currently working on new music with Common and Fall Out Boy.

Besides video of the year, Spears's nominations include best pop video and best female video. She has never won a MTV Video Music Award, despite 16 nominations in her career.

While Williams is rooting for Spears, her musical success does not hinge on success at the awards show, he says.

"I'm not sure [if she will win]," Williams said. "I don't even know if it really matters whether she wins or not."

Spears's live MTV VMA performance of "Gimme More" last year was a notorious disaster. This year, Spears has appeared in taped VMA commercial segments with host Russell Brand, but is not scheduled to perform.

She competes with the Jonas Brothers, Chris Brown, the Pussycat Dolls and the Ting Tings, for video of the year.

Britney's All Black but Still Fit Wednesday

Britney Spears arrived at her Marina del Rey gym looking a little subdued yesterday afternoon for yet another workout. The routine can of course get a little mundane even with all those endorphins running, and with the news of another lame tell-all, it's no surprise she's not looking her most sunny. At least all the outpouring of desire for her to perform at the VMAs has to help put a smile on her face. Hopefully she'll still pull out something great for the red carpet, and who knows, maybe finally get her chance to walk on stage and accept that long-coming moonman.

New Details From Britney Tell All!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

We already told you about the upcoming Britney Spears expose by Ian Halperin, and now we have more details from the New York Times bestselling author. Halperin has penned similar books about Celine Dion and Kurt Cobain, as well as those revealing the dark and dirty secrets of Hollywood, supermodels and other high-profile individuals.

Halperin went undercover as a photographer for 18 months when he wrote and researched Stalking Britney: Britney Under Siege, and he tells In Touch Weekly, “She’s on a high right now, but her life goes in circles. It’s like a roller coaster ride. She’s a person who is highly sensitive, and just one little thing could set her off.”

Halperin writes about how Britney attempted suicide four times after her split from ex-hubby Kevin Federline, and addresses her self-doubt and insecurities, which popped up in her early teen years. He tells the mag, “At 15, she had a huge breakdown and had to return home to Louisiana. She was very insecure and felt like she wasn’t pretty.” The solution? “She went on a huge diet.”

Though Britney has made remarkable progress over the past few months, and she's been photographed looking happier and healthier, Halperin believes she’s far from recovered. “There’s no doubt, based on the last two years, that she is a highly unstable person. She’s on a temporary high right now, but she’s never really dealt with all the problems she had. I don’t think it’s possible to turn over a new leaf just like that.”

Despite his somewhat pessimistic outlook, Halperin does say that Britney is a “good mother, and a good person...In fact, she’s nicer than most of the stars I’ve met. But as Britney once told me herself, her life has always been two steps forward, followed by one step back.”

Manager: Spears Not Slated To Perform On VMAs

Britney Spears won't perform on this year's MTV Video Music Awards, according to her manager.

"Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform on this year's VMAs," Larry Rudolph, Spears' manager at Jive Records, said in a statement. "She's in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio."

Spears' "Gimme More" comeback performance during last year's VMAs was one of the most-talked-about moments of 2007. The tabloid queen is currently appearing in spots promoting this year's ceremony.

In June, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said the network wasn't ruling out giving viewers another dose of Spears at the VMAs. MTV later confirmed they were in talks to have Spears appear in some capacity. The rebounding pop queen is nominated for video of the year for "Piece of Me."

This VMAs will air live Sept. 7 from Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. Previously announced award show performers include Kid Rock, Lil Wayne, Pink, Rihanna, Paramore, T.I. and the Jonas Brothers.

Britney Spears Shops Pottery Barn

Now that speculation concerning whether or not Britney Spears will perform at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (after Brit’s manager Larry Rudolph has killed all hope that she would be performing) we can move on to other Britney Spears matters … like her redecorating habits. Brit Brit was snapped doing a bit of shopping yesterday at the Pottery Barn in Beverly Hills, CA. She apparently was in the market for fake flowers and scented candles, behold:
Capris aside (yeesh!), Britney really does look great. And while I’m extremely bummed that she won’t be performing at the VMAs, I trust that she’s got big plans up her sleeves. In retrospect, I guess I can understand why Brit may not have wanted to perform this time around. Last year, her song Gimme More was BLOWING THE EFF UP on the radio right before the VMAs took place, it made sense for her to try and capitalize on that momentum. This year, she has no such single on the radio (tho, I contend that she could perform her song Piece of Me, which is nominated for the Video of the Year award [among other awards] at this year’s VMAs) and an album that is still months away from completion … so, instead of preparing for a killer on stage performance, she’s happy to shop for aromatherapy candles at Pottery Barn. In the end, as long as she’s happy and healthy that’s all that matters. I even support her love of capri pants … such is my lurve for our dear Britney :)

Our Bad, Britney Will Not Perform at the VMAs

Of course, we went back to check with Vo if this was accurate and not some cover for a surprise performance, but he confirmed:

"Any ideas that we have about her hair are always theoretical. And we always have to be prepared. But she is not performing and so we don't have to worry about that."

So, it looks like we'll just have to wait for next year’s VMAs for Britney to redeem herself.

So much for that comeback.

"Britney Spears will not be performing at the VMAs this year. I'm telling you officially and unequivocally," Ryan Seacrest quoted her manager, Larry Rudolph, as saying on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday morning.

Rudolph told Seacrest that Spears "is in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and was never supposed to perform at that show."

The possibility of Spears performing had been rumored for weeks. (Her hair stylist Kim Vo even told E! News that he was creating three VMA looks for the singer, hinting that one of the 'dos was for her performance.)

The singer is still involved in the show in some capacity, however.

She is appearing alongside host Russell Brand in cheeky TV spots promoting the September 7 show.

She is also up for three VMAs — including "Video of the Year" — for her song "Piece of Me."
Spears has never won a "Moonman," despite being nominated 17 times.

Last year, she raised eyebrows after her rocky opening performance of "Gimme More." The New York Times called her "awful," writing that she "tottered around the stage, dancing tentatively and doing nothing that sounded or looked like real live singing."

Britney Furious Over Kevin Partying And Being With His Ex

The following italicized article is from www.nationalenquirer.com:

THE ENQUIRER exclusively reports Britney Spears was furious when she discovered her ex K-Fed out partying with his ex!

K-Fed and former GF Shar Jackson - mom of his two oldest kids - hit the Madden 09 video game launch party while Brit was stuck at home, caring for 2-year-old son Sean's ear infection.

Kevin, who has custody of his and Britney's two boys, agreed to send the boys for an overnight visitation after she promised she could take good care of the boys, give Sean his medication on time and take his temperature, a source told The ENQUIRER.

Although Britney knew Kevin planned to go to the vid game kickoff, when she discovered he was with Shar, she went ballistic!

Brit called K-Fed repeatedly while at the party, leaving him panicky messages. She told him that she didn't remember what meds Sean had to take and that he was whining constantly for dada.

"Britney was even asking how to work the thermometer to take his temperature," the source revealed.

Kevin first called the bodyguard who accompanies the boys when they go to Britney's, and then he called Britney's father, Jamie, to check on Sean. Both Jamie and the bodyguard assured Kevin his son was fine.

"When Kevin wouldn't take her calls, Britney started text-messaging him and kept texting him for much of the night," said the source.

What Britney finds most infuriating is that Kevin lets Shar spend "her money" - the court-ordered $20,000 Brit shells out to Kevin each month in child support.

Lady GaGa: “Britney’s Dancing Her Pants Off In The Studio!”

In addition to being a performer, you’ve written songs for the Pussycat Dolls and have just written a couple of songs for Britney Spears’ upcoming album. How did that situation come about?

LG: It came about quickly and in an unconventional way. I wrote the songs thinking it might be for my own record and then Larry Rudolph (Britney’s manager) was sort of lurking around when we were in the studio and heard one of them and I got a call saying that Britney wants it and I said, “Give it to her - let her have it.” My record was pretty much done anyway. It’s an amazing song but there’s nothing like having a superstar singing your lyrics. Then it just so happened that she heard another song that I did with a different producer that she also gravitated towards and I don’t even know if she knew that I wrote it. I was supposed to go in and produce her vocals but I couldn’t do it because I was on tour, but I heard that she is dancing her pants off in the studio and so excited.

Justin Snubs Britney At Concert

Britney Spears ventured out for a rare night on the town recently - and ended up in the same club as her ex, Justin Timberlake. On Agust 14, Britney hit West Hollywood’s House of Blues for a Robin Thicke concert and spotted her former beau on a date with girlfriend Jessica Biel.

“Britney was smiling and singing along to songs,” a witness says. “She kept eyeing Justin but stopped short of actually walking over to say hello. Justin kept his back to her. She was obviously waiting for him to turn around, but he never did!” Britney even watched the couple while Justin gave Jessica a long kiss on the lips.

Adds the witness, “When the concert was over, Jessica and Justin left together, and Britney exited in the opposite direction.”

Britney Spears Child Support Settlement Blocks Kevin Federline Maserati Purchase

The following italicized article is from www.popcrunch.com:

Sean Preston and Jayden James aren’t shaping up to be the little cash cows Kevin Federline was hoping for when he sued ex-wife Britney Spears for full custody. The pop star’s “measley” $20,000-a-month child support payments have dashed Kev’s hopes of living high on the hog, friends say.

The former backup dancer was forced to back out of plans to purchase a $140,000 Maserati this month because the $50,000 he had anticipated receiving from Spears each month fell through the cracks.

“Kevin’s not getting as much cash from Britney as he hoped for, so he decided to forgo the car,” a friend tells Star.
