Britney Stays a Cut Above

Tired of seeing Britney Spears' stringy extensions?

No worries, you won't be seeing them for much longer.

The singer, who's been in virtual hiding for the past few weeks, is set to rock a new hairstyle this weekend, courtesy of her longtime stylist and Shear Genius judge Kim Vo."We’ve been working on her for a little while," Kim tells OK!.

"What we’ve done is we’ve reversed the process of her extensions, we’re adding more of her natural hair and less extensions, so we’re letting that breathe out, her hair to grow, to where she’ll just do extensions for fun. For right now, it’s a lot of her length. It’s about six inches. It’s pretty good."

Brit's look, which she will debut at the Mirage's Love show, will feature a bright new color color as well -- a "light caramel honey gold with baby blonde highlights." The color palette was deliberate -- Kim wanted to soften up her image.

"We’re so used to her with that bright blonde, which I didn’t like, and I told her I didn’t like it," he says. "We’re actually using the flecks of her eyes—she has little golden flecks— as a guide to go through the process to enhance her eyes and even go deeper than her eyes, the flecks in her eyes and skin tone."

A new style may be the start of something good for Britney, Kim believes. Having worked with her for four years, the hairstylist has ridden all of the 26-year-old's ups and downs with her. And now it's "great" to finally see her do well again.

"When I got back her a couple of months ago, five or six months ago, it was great to see her blossom again and get back to the old Britney," he says. "She’s doing really well."

Things are definitely looking up for the Britster. Her name was submitted to the Emmy longlist for consideration in the Guest Actress in a Comedy series category for her work in How I Met Your Mother. Should the pop-tart nab a nomination, you can bet Kim will be fixing up her follicles for the red carpet.

"I think that’s where she really should shine," he says. "And I think that she should do something that reminiscent of old Britney, but kind of new and chic, maybe I do the same kind of wavy hair but pull it over to a should, low pony tail. Something’s that very different. I think people expect her to look like a caricature of herself. Just chic it up a little bit."

The new season of Shear Genius premieres June 25 at 10 p.m. on Bravo.

Britney, K-Fed Swoop Into Sin City

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

Britney Spears is on a roll with her motherly duties. Now it looks like she's devoting a little more time to her daughterly ones.

E! News has confirmed that the singer flew to Las Vegas on Thursday, just after visiting her kids at her home in Studio City.

Although Spears was seen at the Palms hotel, a source close to the singer tells E! that she is not there to record in the Maloof brothers' recording studio. Equally unlikely is the possibility of her rolling into town to support Kevin Federline, who's in Sin City to tend to some business of his own.

Though the exact purpose of her trip has not yet been revealed—though she is not, as rumored, in town to perform with the Pussycat Dolls—a source close to the singer said it was "not a business trip."

People, meanwhile, corroborates that the trip is indeed one of pleasure, claiming she's in town for a long Father's Day weekend with papa Jamie Spears.

One joint they may want to avoid in their would-be father-daughter bonding session: Prive Las Vegas.

None other than K-Fed himself is set to receive a Father of the Year honor at the club later tonight.

Pal Says Britney Is Doing 'Great'

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

As Britney Spears continues on her road to recovery, a friend of Spears says things are going well for the singer.

"She's doing great," Palms Casino Resort owner George Maloof tells PEOPLE.

Maloof, who recently had dinner with Spears twice in L.A., says that the two are "good friends," and adds it would be fantastic to have her perform at his Vegas venue.

"I'd love to have her here at the Pearl [Theater]," says Maloof, who stopped by the premiere of The Rocker, starring Rainn Wilson, at the Cinevegas Film Festival. "It would be great."

Maloof says the idea of a Vegas concert "didn't come up" when he saw Spears in L.A. But it turns out Spears flew there Thursday for a different reason altogether.

"Britney left L.A. for Vegas for an extended Father's Day weekend with her dad [Jamie]," a source tells PEOPLE. Despite reports that Spears' cameo in the upcoming Pussycat Dolls video was cut, Britney is still plugging away at her other projects: She's scheduled to work on songs with Sean Garrett in three weeks.

Meanwhile Spears's ex, Kevin Federline, is also headed to Sin City on Friday for Father's Day purposes: K-Fed will be there to accept his "Father of the Year" honors from Prive Las Vegas.
