Britney Spears: Shopping Spree, Interrupted

The following italicized article is from www.celebrity-gossip.net:

Overwhelmed by paparazzi following her every move, Britney Spears was spotted paying a visit to Fragment Jewelry store in Soho on Tuesday (September 30).

After pulling up in her chauffeured SUV, the “Gimme More” singer ended up deciding against wading through the crowd of gathered spectators - getting back in the car and pulling away before stepping foot in the NYC shop.

For the past few days, Miss Spears has been calling the Big Apple home, as she continues to plug her brand new single, “Womanizer”.

In a recent interview during the promotional trip, Brit chatted about her massive MTV Video Music Awards comeback earlier this month thanks to her video for “Piece of Me.”

She told press, “It’s a cool video, but I think by far I’ve done videos that are way better, so I was really shocked that it got the award. It was just inspiring, though, because now, going forward with the videos that I’m doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens.”

Britney's New Fragrance 'Hidden Fantasy'?

Here's exclusive information I received from Manizer:

"Hi Kevin,

I work as a make up artist for Elizabeth Arden and 2 weeks ago we had a little meeting about all the new releases that we are going to have as for make up and perfumes.

Britney ‘Definitely’ Heading On Tour For ‘Circus’

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

Britney Spears is heading back out on tour.

In a promotional appearance on New York’s Z100 radio station earlier this week, the singer confirmed she will take her upcoming sixth artist album “Circus,” on the road.

“Definitely,” she said when asked about hitting the road. “Probably around the world.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Britney released the first single off the album, “Womanizer,” to radio last Friday.

“I like the fact that it’s so empowering for girls because it’s basically saying, ‘Ya know, we know what you’re up to,’” Britney told Z100 about the song. “It’s about guys cheating on other girls and stuff like that. And it’s kinda like a girl anthem, so that’s why I like it.”

Britney will reportedly start her tour in 2009.

In the past, Britney has helped give a leg up to several acts including Jada Pinkett Smith’s Wicked Wisdom and “Milkshake” singer Kelis, by having them open for her on tour.

Britney Spears Enjoys The NYC Day/Nightlife

After surprising fans yesterday afternoon by showing up in person at the Z100 radio station in NYC to give a brief interview with DJ JJ to talk about various exciting things she’s got planned for the future (ie. world tour next year, bitches!!!), Britney spent a nice quiet night on the town refraining from doing anything more substantial than just enjoying a quiet dinner with friends. Wee! Here are a couple pics of Brit in the Z100 studio yesterday:
Z100 even uploaded video of Britney’s interview, which you can watch HERE. I must admit, I’m still pretty jazzed by all the info that Britney gave in her interview yesterday afternoon. The thought of a world tour just … kills me … I am really excited to see Brit Brit on stage again :)

After stopping by Z100, Britters made her way to the Upper East Side later on in the day to grab a bite to eat at Serendipity 3 … here are a couple pics:
I’m just really, really very happy to know that Britney is staying on task, staying out of trubs and seems solely focused on making sure her comeback is a huge success. Her last album, Blackout, is such an amazing disc, I can only wonder how successful it could’ve been had she given this much attention to promoting it last year. Of course, we all know that she was in no position to do so but … at least, this time, she has the chance to really do it right. Keep doin’ what you’re doin’, Britney. We’re all with you.

Britney Takes Manhattan!

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Last time Britney Spears was in New York — almost exactly one year ago — she finished off a wild night in a strip club by putting on one of the dancers' thongs.

But since she flew in from LAX last night, her latest trip to the Big Apple has been a very different affair.

Instead of heading to the clubs to catch up with her scantily clad buddies, Brit checked straight into her swank downtown hotel to get ready for the busy day of high-level business meetings (and a little shopping!) ahead.

The newly fit and focussed singer started today by paying a flying visit to the Z100 radio station to talk about her new album Circus, before zipping uptown to the Sony headquarters wheres she was scheduled to meet with Barry Weiss, the president of her record label.

But after an hour-long sit down with the boss, Britney relaxed by spending an hour or so (and, it seems, a few hundred dollars) in super-luxe department store, Barneys.

"When she came out of the elevator, her assistant was already carrying an armful of clothes," said a fellow shopper in the shoe department. "I'd say she's definitely a fan of this place!"

Britney took a good long look at a pair of Christian Louboutin high heels ($575) and looked like she spent a long time weighing up whether she was going to buy a pair of knee-high black leather Fendi boots ($920), but decided against them in the end.

"She seemed pretty relaxed, twirling her hair around her fingers as she wandered around, checking out all the cute shoes. She looked like she was in her element!"

Brit finished up her spree in the cosmetics section, where she tried out a few different shades of lipstick before picking out just the right red, a Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited #190 ($23), plus their Nobara cream foundation #554 ($27).

Then she hopped back in her car and headed right back to her hotel -- without a single second-hand thong in sight.

What a difference a year makes!

Britney Spears Says She Plans To Tour In 2009

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

Britney Spears stopped by New York radio station Z100 Monday morning (September 29) to talk about her new single, "Womanizer," which made its debut on the station Friday, and surprised listeners by saying she's planning to tour next year.

"['Womanizer' is] basically saying, 'We know what you're up to.' It's about guys cheating on girls," she said. "It's a girl anthem. That's why I like it. So hopefully the fans will see it that way too!"

She also said she's completed work on her forthcoming LP, Circus (which is slated for release on her 27th birthday, December 2), on which the single appears. "Well, actually ... I cut Circus like two weeks ago. I've been working on this album for, like, six months now."

Spears said was stunned when she won three Moonmen earlier this month at the VMAs, in part because she feels she's done better videos. "It's a cool video, but I think by far I've done videos that are way better, so I was really shocked that it got the award," she said.

"It was just inspiring, though," she continued, "because now, going forward with the videos that I'm doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens."

Surprisingly, the singer also said that she plans to tour in 2009. "Oh, definitely next year," she said when asked about touring possibilities. "Probably around the world." Last year, Spears, under the name M+M's, did a small club tour that found her lip-synching and wearing a black wig during a brief set.

Last week, Spears was seen around Los Angeles filming the video for "Womanizer." In the clip, Britney sports a vampy look, clad in a short black wig and red lipstick, and playing a waitress. The clip was directed by Joseph Khan, who previously helmed her clips for "Stronger" and "Toxic." Sources told UsMagazine.com that the video features "erotic" choreography.

Britney Tries to Outmaneuver Prosecutors

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

While Britney Spears tunes up for a new album and world tour, a lawyer for the reforming pop princess is telling the court she's not really up to handling a driver's license issue.

For what seems like the umpteenth time, attorney Michael Flanagan is seeking to derail a trial in the case of Spears and her MIA California driver's license.

He filed documents today in Los Angeles County Superior Court requesting a stay in the proceedings because she is remains under the control of a conservatorship.

"The Probate Court has found that [Spears] lacks the capacity to retain counsel," Flanagan writes, "as a result, [Spears] is currently unable to participate meaningfully in this matter." (View the documents.)

Flanagan goes on to claim that precedent shows proof of correction (i.e., Brit obtaining a California license) usually nips matters such as these in the bud.

The "Oops" songbird was rung up in August 2007 after a hit-and-split incident in which she dinged another vehicle while fleeing from paparazzi.

A follow-up investigation revealed that she was carrying a Louisiana license but not a California one, a no-no under state law. Authorities subsequently charged her with a misdemeanor count of driving without a vaild license.

As it stands, Flanagan is due back in court of Spears' behalf Oct. 8—what could be the final chance for him work out a settlement with prosecutors before the trial is scheduled kick off a week later.

Britney Spears: No Sex Tape

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

Looks like Britney fans will have to stick with Chaotic if they're itching to watch the star on grainy videotape.

British-based Heat magazine reported earlier Monday that photographer/Spears-ex Adnan Ghalib confirmed to them he has a sex tape of himself with the pop star.

However, a source close to Britney Spears is throwing cold water on the Heat story.

"The story is completely false," the source tells E! News.

Spears' rep at Jive Records has not responded to calls seeking comment.

Ghalib is also playing hard to get. His cell phone number is disconnected. His former photo agency, JFX, tells E! News that Ghalib "never worked for us" and has not been able to provide any contact information for him.

Britney Doesn't Want to Stand Trial for Ding, Dang

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

She may not have put the brakes on when she should have, but Britney now wants the judge in her lil' traffic accident case to slam those suckers down.

You'll recall Brit is set to stand trial for driving without a valid California license -- a case that has dragged on for a year. Remember, the crazy version of Britney struck a car in August of last year and the cops found she was driving with a Louisiana license in Los Angeles.

Now her lawyer wants the judge to stop the trial, at least for now, because of the conservatorship. According to the docs, she's still not totally with it. Brit is "unable to participate meaningfully in her defense."

It's kind of weird, because we're hearing the conservatorship could end as early as next month. So the new trial of the century may still be coming to a cable channel soon.

Britney Spears Files Appeals In Driving Case

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

Britney Spears' attorney has asked a judge to delay the singer's upcoming trial on a misdemeanor charge for driving without a valid license.

Attorney J. Michael Flanagan filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday seeking a stay in the criminal case. Flanagan also wants an appellate judge to order the judge overseeing the case to grant Spears' motion to dismiss.

Flanagan has twice requested a dismissal of the case, saying that Spears should be allowed to pay a $10 fine and not face a criminal trial.

The 26-year-old singer is scheduled to go on trial in October on a single misdemeanor charge that she did not have a valid California license when she hit a parked car in August 2007 and left the scene.

Flanagan also argues in Monday's filings that Spears is unable to meaningfully participate in her defense because of her conservatorship. Since February, her father has controlled the singer's personal and financial affairs.

Also Monday, the pop star told a New York radio station that her clip Piece of Me leaves room for improvement — despite winning three MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.


"It's a cool video, but I think by far I've done videos that are way better," the singer said in an interview with top 40 radio station Z100. "So I was really shocked that ... it got the award."

Spears called her triple victory "inspiring, though, because now going forward with the videos that I'm doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens."

Spears, whose new album Circus drops Dec. 2, plans a possible world tour next year.

Britney Goes Live on the Radio

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Britney Spears has descended upon NYC and is already hitting all the big stops, including a visit to radio station Z100 to chat live on the air about her new album, Circus.

"I've been working on this album for six months or so," she tells Z100's JJ.

The Britster seemed calm, cool and collected wearing a sweater and sunglesses as she added her thoughts on her new song, "Womanizer," which dropped last week.

"It's a really cool song," she says of the single. "I like the fact that it's so empowering for girls, because it's basically saying, 'We know what you're up to.' It's about guys cheating on other girls and stuff and it's kind of like a girl anthem."

Britney says she was suprised that for all the times she's been nominated, that she finally won a VMA for her "Piece of Me" video.

"It's a cool video, but I think by far, that I've done videos that are way better, so I was really shocked that I got the award." But this year's success snagging three Moonmen could be just the start for Britney, who says she's excited for the future of her videos.

"It was just inspiring though, because now going forward with the videos I'm doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens."

The comeback queen arrived in the Big Apple yesterday, and she's set to take in the sights and eat her favorite NYC treat – pizza.

"I miss it here so much, I love it!" she gushes about the city. "It's kind of bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years, so when I come back it's like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still."

Brit also revealed some exciting news for next year – she'll be going on tour next year, "probably around the world."

Britney Spears Makes Her Way To The Big Apple

Britney Spears caused a bit of a sensation at LAX Airport here in LA yesterday morning (as she usually does wherever she goes) as she made her way to NYC, where she arrived late last night. But before Brit Brit flied the friendly transcontinental skies, she went out for a lovely dinner with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, as well as her father Jamie Spears and small entourage on Saturday night. Here are pics of Britney and her family making their way out of Wolfgang Steak House in Beverly Hills, CA Sat. night:
It should be noted that Brit & Co. ate at the Wolfgang Steak House owned by Wolfgang Zwiener and NOT Wolfgang Puck (which you may recall has some … interesting … art on the walls). And here are a few photos of Britney’s grand arrival at LAX Airport and then her arrival at JFK Airport in NYC:
I understand that Britney has made her way to NYC in order to take care of some biz to promote her new single Womanizer (which debuted last Friday) and album Circus (which will be released on December 2). I wouldn’t be surprised if she made her way to the East Coast to shoot a few photoshoots, mebbe film some video, possibly schmooze some record execs … you know, typical popstar stuff. I am really excited for the coming months … I understand that Womanizer will be available for sale on iTunes on October 7, giving it enough time to marinate on the radio and in cyberspace so that folks will go wild when it is finally released for sale. The track is sure to go straight to #1, I’m absolutely certain. Wee … it is so great having Britney Spears back on the scene … working! Keep it up, Britters, we are so with you.

Last week, the 26-year-old pop princess filmed the music video for her single, “Womanizer” at Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant and Elevate Lounge.

According to one Us Weekly spywitness, “in one scene, Spears (who wears tight, black leather pants and fake tattoos on her arms in the video) lies on a kitchen counter and later straddles and makes out with a man dressed in business suit. The scene continues with Spears sucking on cherries or dangling them around her mouth, all while straddling and crawling all over the man, the witness says. Spears worked up a sweat — her black bob wig was rubbing off on her forehead, says the witness — and an appetite.”

So excited to see the video premiere!!!

Britney Spears Still <3s Her Starbucks

Wee … remember those bygone days when the most scandalous thing to occupy Britney Spears’s day was a trip to Starbucks for a caffeinated drink? Well, it looks like those days are here again … Brit Brit ventured out yesterday in search of a coffee fix and managed to limit herself to picking up just two Starbucks beverages:
Okay … so mebbe it’s a little over-the-top to celebrate something as menial as a trip to Starbucks … but I’m just reminded of those innocent days when this was pretty much all that Britney did. Pre-crazy, pre-Paris Hilton, pre-Kevin Federline … it wasn’t that long ago. Oversized sunglasses and a Starbucks cup firmly in hand was the dress code for all Hollywood “It” Girls … pardon me if I’m feeling a bit nostalgic.

Britney Spears Sells Her Studio City Home

Our dear Britney Spears, who wowed the world yesterday with the official release of her new track Womanizer, has decided to sell off her Studio City manse as quickly as possible. You may recall that this home was the site of Britney’s infamous mental break-down this past January (the house she was removed from via stretcher) as well as, I’m sure, numerous other bad memories (involving those leeches Sam Lutfi and cousin Ali Sims) … which is exactly why wants to get rid of it:

Britney Spears is so desperate to sell her massive mansion that she has posed for photos in the many rooms for the sales catalogue! The popstar is apparently keen to get rid of the £4 Million house because it reminds Brit of her drug problems and her mental breakdown. The pics show off the flash six-bedroom house- described as an “exquisite gated Italian Renaissance-inspired villa”- with her son’s toys scattered around the floor. Neighbours will be pleased to see the back of Britney after the chaotic scenes that have happened outside the house and paparazzi intrusion. Spears — whose new album will be out later this year — is looking for a new house at the moment and reportedly wants more privacy.

I say, “Good Riddance!” That place was a den of tragedy and I fully support her getting rid of it. I remember, not so fondly, that when Britney wasn’t roaming the streets of LA at all hours of the night last year, she was holed up in this mansion out of sight and in the sole care of Sam Lutfi. I shudder to think of the things that might’ve happened in those walls. Britney has a new lease on life and should move on into fresh, happy surroundings. This is just another clear indication that she is finally taking charge of her life and is serious about staying on the right and healthy path.

Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” Hits The Air

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

Britney Spears is making her comeback — again. First step: release a catchy single. And so, on Friday Britney’s song “Womanizer” finally hit airwaves, four days after its scheduled release and a week after a snippet was leaked.

The song is an upbeat if slightly repetitive electropop number lasting about 3:40. It comes off Spears’ album “Circus,” which is set to be released on her 27th birthday on Dec. 2. The song was produced by The Outsyders, a group based in Atlanta.

It has lyrics that include: “You say I’m crazy/ I got your crazy/You’re nothing but a womanizer” In the song’s chorus, Britney sings, “Boy, don’t try to front/I-I know just-just what you are/Womanizer, you’re a womanizer, baby.”

It remains to be seen what Britney’s fans think of the song, but it’s definitely catchy. In a snap judgment, the Los Angeles Times music blog Soundboard reached the conclusion that “Britney is back. She actually seems to be awake this time.”

Last year in late August, Britney released a song, “Gimme More,” which was also billed as a “comeback” tunes after months of Britney finding herself making headlines for erratic behavior. At that time, she was embroiled in a bitter custody battle over her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

She sang “Gimme More” at the MTV Video Music Awards in September ‘07, but was panned by fans and critics. By January of this year, she found herself in a Los Angeles-area hospital under psychiatric evaluation.

But since February, after her father and lawyers took control of her affairs, Britney has seemed to be on the mend. In fact, at this year’s MTV VMAs, Britney won three awards for her song, “Piece of Me.”

So one wonders: could this “comeback” be the real deal.

Lynne Spears Used Argument To Get Daughter's Attention

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

BRITNEY SPEARS' mum LYNNE has revealed she and her estranged husband JAMIE used an argument between her daughter and then-manager SAM LUTFI to "start taking charge" of their troubled daughter's affairs.

Spears claims Lutfi had shut her out of Britney's life, but the singer's parents knew it was time to take action when it appeared she was heading towards a nervous breakdown.

She explains, "We had police calling us telling us things that were going on. That's when we said, 'We've got to do something, we prayed about it.'

"We had been trying to get in; we couldn't... When she had an argument with that individual, who I just don't even want to talk about, that was the opening and we took advantage of it, we got in and that's when we were able to start taking charge."

Speaking out on American Idol host Ryan Seacrest's Los Angeles radio show, Spears confirmed Lufti was the "individual" she was referring to.

Shortly after Lynne and Jamie took charge of their daughter's personal and professional affairs at the beginning of 2008, Jamie was made a co-conservator of the pop star's estate and the couple was granted a restraining order against Lutfi.

Snap Judgment On Britney Spears' 'Womanizer'

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

And so we awaken to a new Britney Spears single to distract us from the collapse of yet another major financial institution. (Shout out to all my peeps in the "Washington Mutual" state!) "Womanizer" is just the shot of Jolt Cola pop fans need right now: It's mechanical as heck, sure, and predictable too, but somehow it still draws you in. More like grabs your collar, forces you down onto a cane-back chair and yanks you in. Oh, wait, that's the choreography for the upcoming video.

The good: Retro-futurism takes a roller coaster ride via the snappy staccato beats crafted by the young Atlanta-based production team the Outsydas. It's clean and contemporary but also invokes the quick-witted style of vocal groups like the Andrews Sisters -- a style Brit's rival, Christina Aguilera, has mined to great success before. The highly manipulated vocal complements Brit's Mississippi Valley Girl diction; though she's been turned into a robot (again), she actually sounds engaged. And the lyric, about the kind of girl power that's focused on besting one obnoxious man, is also vintage and contemporary at the same time -- more feminism as individualism, which we all know is hot at the moment.

The bad: This song most emphatically does not swing. The very things that pull in a listener -- the song's jerky repetitiveness, the catchy staccato elements, Britney's voice pushed against your ear -- are going to get really irritating after three days of this song being everywhere.

The conclusion: Britney's back. She actually seems to be awake this time. This is only the beginning.

'Womanizer' Review

The Britney Spears comeback story now has a soundtrack.

Her new single “Womanizer,” which made its debut this morning on Z100 (either three days early or four days late depending on whose timetable you believe), is the first musical sign that she may actually be putting her troubled past behind her.

“Womanizer,” from the Atlanta production team The Outsyders, is an upbeat dance number that crosses her hit “Toxic” with some of the Euro-influenced dance sound from last year’s “Blackout” and adds some pointed lyrics. “You say I’m crazy? I got your ‘crazy,’” sings Spears. “You’re nothing but a womanizer.”

It’s catchy, but more noteworthy is that it involves some tongue-twisting lyrics and doesn’t heavily process Spears’ vocals, meaning that she had to be engaged in the recording process – something that was not evident for “Blackout.”

At this point, can’t we all just admit “Blackout” wasn’t very good? (I know many of you disagreed at the time, but do you still feel that way?) Despite some really catchy songs, it just sounded sad, like Spears vocals were assembled by robots because she couldn’t string two sentences together. “Blackout” hasn’t even broken the 900,000 sales mark yet, despite its massive, car-crash-gawking opening sales week of nearly 300,000 last November.

“Womanizer” is a sign that Spears’ sixth album “Circus,” due out Dec. 2, will fare far better.
