Madge asks Britney back on stage

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

MADONNA has asked troubled BRITNEY SPEARS to join her on tour — and pals hope she will give guidance to the young star.

The Queen Of Pop, 49, is set to record a video with Britney, 26, in New York tomorrow.

The footage will be broadcast on huge screens as part of Madge’s Sticky and Sweet tour, which kicks off on August 23.

Madonna has also invited Britney to appear in person on some of the world tour dates.

A source close to Britney revealed: “They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna’s show.

“And they are talking about Britney taking the stage on a few of the dates too.

“There’s no doubt that her and Britney together will spell fireworks again.

Comeback

“It’s hoped that Madonna can help Britney get back to her old self. Appearing with Madonna would really kickstart her career again. She’s been there and done it so could provide some great guidance.”

Britney and Madonna stunned fans at the MTV Music Awards in 2003 by sharing a passionate kiss.

The source added: “If anyone can mastermind a Britney comeback, it’s Madonna.

“Lots of people will be hoping there’s a repeat of the kissing incident a few years ago.”

The Toxic singer has always been a huge fan of Madge — and even converted to her Kabbalah religion. But it has been reported that their relationship cooled after Britney lost interest in the mystical Jewish faith.

The source added: “Maybe this means Britney is ready to devote to Kabbalah again as she tries to sort herself out.”

Madonna’s new tour to support album Hard Candy promises to be her sexiest yet.

She will turn 50 a week before it kicks off in Cardiff — but still plans to shock fans with a controversial stage show.

The singer will even pretend to be MUMMIFIED as part of a routine.

Britney lost custody of kids Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James as she battled her demons.

Looking for a good way to “Break the Ice” with Britney Spears?

How about telling her you own some of her stuff.

Personal clothing once worn by Brit are just a few of the items going up for bid in the Gotta Have It! online Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction.

Among the items is a T-shirt worn by the pop star long before two marriages, two kids and a divorce, back when she was a cast member on the “New Mickey Mouse Club.”

The shirt, which Brit had given to her grandmother, is also signed by her former “MMC” co-stars, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Keri Russell.

“Something like that has never come up for auction before. We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000,” Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski told People.

The shirt is also signed by Brit, inscribed with the message: “I love you grandma,” according to E! Online’s Marc Malkin.

Other items up for bid from Britney include outfits worn onstage during her “Drive Me Crazy” and “Oops, I Did It Again” tours, the orange coat and pants she donned for the 2000 Billboard Music Awards and even a blue and white Santa dress she wore for a holiday Pepsi ad that same year.

Proceeds from the sale of the Spears memorabilia, which was provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group on behalf of the singer, will go to a charity of Tri Star’s choosing, according to People.

But Britney isn’t the only celeb with some goodies up on the block.

More than 500 items will be auctioned off in the Gotta Have It! auction, including Madonna’s personal diary from 1985, stage costumes and hand-written lyrics from the Material Girl, an authentic Elvis Presley jumpsuit and a pair of denim jeans worn by Marilyn Monroe in the movie “River of No Return.”

The jeans had actually been given to Britney as a gift from designer Tommy Hilfiger – but now, they can be yours!

The Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction runs from July 21 – August 6.

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

Britney Spears‘ Broadway dreams are toast. The pop tart’s pop forced her to down the role of Sandy in the New York City production of Grease, a tabloid mole spills to Life & Style Magazine.

Jamie Spears, who is currently serving as the appointed guardian over his daughter’s estate, felt a gig on Broadway would be too much for a still emotionally-shaken Brit.


“He still fears she’s going through a lot and isn’t ready to handle anything on her own.”

“Britney was in serious talks to be the new Sandy in the show Grease,” one Great White Way insider says. “She wanted to do it, but her dad, Jamie, said no….Jamie promised the producers that when she’s ready, they would be back to work out a deal.”
