Thirty Seconds In Heaven With Britney Spears

You might remember that Remote Control blogger Control Freak was on the Los Angeles set where VMA host Russell Brand and Britney Spears recently shot those OMG! VMA promos. Well, we’ve got two more that we’ve been given the OK to post here, so we invited CF to hit it again.

Make that 60 seconds, since there are TWO brand spankin’ new VMA promos below!

As I told you Monday, this dumbstruck blogger got a chance to watch 2008 MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand and a soft-spoken yet stunning Britney Spears film MTV’s latest commercial spots last week. Which means I also got to watch Russell flirt wildly with the calm and collected singer, who spent most of 2007 unintentionally convincing media that she was anything but.

Good news! Britney’s sanity wasn’t an act for the cameras. She genuinely seemed happy, even if she’s back to travelling with an entourage of massive proportions, each with something to say about her hair, her makeup, her outfit, her facial expressions … you get the picture.

Speaking of pictures, I feel kinda sorry for the catering lady hunted down by Brit’s bodyguards for snapping a candid shot of the star from her mobile phone. Note to catering lady: always ask first.

The day wasn’t all about fending off Russell’s plans for heavy petting behind the elephant. In fact, when the cameras weren’t rolling, the two had some pleasant interactions, even if Britney appeared very perplexed by his hairdo. Picture this: Brit’s being primped by three people at once while she sucks her beverage of choice (Coke!) through a straw. Russell, like most of America, is fascinated by even the most mundane things Britney does, and says in his most thoughtful yet still comical tone, “I like that straw idea. It’s interesting now that I’ve seen it in action. It’s like, ‘Why wouldn’t I have a straw?’” And all of this happened whilst an elephant in the room danced on its heels. My job is awesome.
