Wrap Stars

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

THEY will need to invent a 27th letter of the alphabet to classify this.
If you thought MADONNA and BRITNEY SPEARS’ snog at the MTV Awards in 2003 was X-rated, their latest collaboration makes that look tame.

The Sun revealed on Saturday how the Queen Of Pop and its fallen princess will join forces for Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour.which kicks off next month.

Now details of their sessions have reached me — and they are hotter than the Los Angeles police on Britney driving the wrong way up a one-way street with both her sons on her lap.

The pair’s sexy shenanigans will be broadcast to the crowd on Madge’s upcoming world tour via 20ft screens. What a terrifying thought. I hope Britney doesn’t ask if her bum looks big on that.

They will perform a mash-up of Madge track Beat Goes On and Britney’s Piece Of Me, while they are unwrapped from costumes that can only be described as bondage mummy.

The pop duo will be wrapped in BANDAGES which will then be unravelled by leather thong-clad male dancers in scenes that would put even RUSSELL BRAND’s moral compass in a spin.

An on-set source revealed: “It’s absolutely classic Madonna. Probably the raunchiest stuff she has ever done. It leaves nothing to the imagination and will be very controversial.

“Britney and Madonna are unwrapped like mummies, to appear together almost naked apart from tiny leather bondage pants and knee-high boots.

“They then dance closely together, pressing their hands and bodies together.

“There will be big rows over whether it is sexy, shocking or both.”

Crazy

Britney has been filming scenes at a Hollywood studio and was snapped leaving a nearby hair salon looking more spruced up than she has for ages.

It’s good that Madonna is helping her rebuild her career, but I’m still not convinced I’m ready to see her stripped down to her smalls.

The Toxic singer will also perform to Madge’s 1995 track Human Nature.

And in one scene to be broadcast during the tour — which opens in Cardiff on August 23 — Britney loses her mind after getting stuck in a lift in a short film by New York photographer STEVEN KLEIN.

The source added: “We’ll see Spears going crazy in an enclosed space — screaming, pulling her hair and banging her fists on the lift walls as it’s stuck between floors.

“She really loses it.”

I think that’s what luvvies call method acting.

Going Up? Britney Hits the Elevator for Madonna Concert Video

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

Here's the scoop, bitch.

Cameras started to roll today on the video that Britney Spears is making for Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour, which, sources tell E! News, will be the opening video for each show.

The "Are you ready to rumble?!" video, if you will.

The shoot took place today at the Lot in West Hollywood, the former site of Warner Hollywood, United Artists and the Samuel Goldwyn Studios.

An on-set source said that Britney arrived at around 9 a.m. and was holed up in her dressing room by 9:30. The "Toxic" singer didn't start shooting her scenes until noon.

According to our insiders, the planned "short movie" will take place inside an elevator, where seven cameras will be strategically placed to capture the magic. The scene-by-scene breakdown goes like this:

Britney, partially disguised by a gray hoodie, walks into the elevator. As she starts traveling upward, she seems particularly nervous and anxious. The popster starts pacing back and forth. Then she progresses to kicking and smacking the walls, all frantic-like. She screams into one of the cameras. Then she starts climbing the wall, pulls down her hood and, into another camera, says:

"It's Britney, bitch."

Well, at least she shouldn't have trouble remembering her lines.
We're told that the 26-year-old mother of two acted "very professional" throughout and, a day after the shoot was postponed due to technical difficulties, everything seemed to be back on schedule.

Meanwhile, despite rumors that Madonna was going to wing her way west for a quick set visit, the Material Girl stayed put in New York today. According to a witness privy to her comings and goings, she went to her studio this morning and then returned to her Manhattan apartment.

Where, if Madonna weren't used to the current tabloid climate, she would have bolted the door, drawn the shades and pulled the covers over her head.

But she probably just ate lunch.

Get the Scoop on Britney Spears’s New Baby-Blonde Locks

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

Britney Spears is gearing up for a come-back appearance in a video segment that will be played during Madonna’s upcoming tour. Looking better than ever, Brit lightens her locks and lets down her hair — and her hair stylist, Kim Vo, gives PEOPLE the scoop on the new look.

“I took her into the baby-blonde spectrum, like a child who’s been at the beach,” Vo says of softening the star’s darker blonde color. “She now has a lot of streaks — including some dark in the back — but the effect is baby-blonde. She is blonder than she’s been, which she loves.”

But why suddenly so light? Vo had to take into account Madonna’s golden hair and give Britney something that would contrast and complement the Material Girl’s look.

The straight style, however, was Britney’s call. And Vo kept fly-aways at bay with one of the star’s favorite products. “Britney loves the Perfect Polish Dry Serum. It’s a product that keeps her hair polished and frizz free. When we’re doing a straight hair style this is a must.” We think Brit’s straight blonde style is the perfect summer look for her.

Britney 'Excited' to Work with Madonna Again

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

Britney Spears is collaborating with Madonna again, and the embattled singer is psyched to reunite with her idol, says a pal. The pop icons are teaming up to film a segment that is expected to be part of Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour. "Britney is excited, but in a grown up way," says the source, who has seen the singer through her recent ups-and-downs. "She has come a long way in the last year."

In fact Spears, who has gone to a lightened baby blonde hair color for the shoot, arrived at 9 a.m. Wednesday to begin filming her segment at The Lot in West Hollywood.

According to the source, Spears, 26, who used to make headlines for her late-night outings and reckless driving, has been showing new signs of maturity. "She has settled down and is full of life but not childish," says the pal. Under the supervision of her father, Jamie, Britney regained overnight visits with her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, and has also re-teamed with her former manager, Larry Rudolph.

"Working with Madonna is a dream, but I think she feels like it's one she’s earned," says the pal. "She’s respectful but full of her own ideas about the work."

The friend also maintains that Spears has also regained her focus, both mentally and professionally. "I think that so many people have no idea that Britney is fully aware of what’s going on. She may not always have been, but she is now," says the pal. "And she is – if not in control – in partnership with her father and her managers in her future."

Bronzed and slim Britney prepares for a comeback that will 'blow fans away'

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

Looking groomed and tanned, Britney Spears was barely recognisable as the troubled star photographed everywhere she went earlier this year.

But having taken some time out to focus on herself and her sons, it seems the singer could be capable of making the astounding comeback her industry insiders have promised.

Sporting her trademark long beach-blonde hair, a slimline Britney stepped out of Beverly Hills BV2 hair salon where she had spent a reported four hours preparing for her upcoming appearance on Madonna's tour.

In a knee-length, high-necked sundress and oversized sunglasses the Baby One More Time singer looked every inch the star who once dominated the charts.

And if insiders are to be believed Britney will be regaining her Princess of Pop moniker very soon.

The 26-year-old star is currently making a video that will be screened on the Queen of Pop's upcoming 'Sweet and Sticky' performances.

However, fans should expect a changed Britney in her next venture back into music.

An Spears insider said to E! News: 'The video will be very deep. You’ve never seen Britney like this before. It will blow your mind.”

Although filming is currently halted due to technical glitches, the video will feature the star performing in an elevator.

Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenburg has confirmed Britney is being filmed for the 50-year-old's tour but refused to reveal more.

She said: “There is footage being shot of Britney some time this week in conjunction with Madonna’s upcoming tour. That is all the information I have available. The rest is a secret.”

World Exclusive: Meet Baby Maddie!

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

Since giving birth on June 19 to baby girl Maddie Briann Aldridge, Jamie Lynn Spears has taken to doing what any good first time mom would do — making sure her brand new daughter has everything she needs.

And, in an exclusive interview and photoshoot, the younger sister of Britney Spears tells OK! that being away from the shining lights of Hollywood is making it all easier to learn the ins and outs of first-time motherhood. "Around here, everyone has the same focus," Jamie Lynn tells OK!. "The focus is family, and that's a good way to live."

The 17-year-old actress opens up to OK! about everything — from taking parenting classes to life inside the new home she shares with Maddie and boyfriend Casey Aldridge, to her first experience with labor pains.

"They'd told me it would be an eight- to 12-hour labor, and I was ready to have the baby in three to four hours," Jamie Lynn tells OK!. "I had a perfect pregnancy and a perfect delivery. I was very blessed."

While the former Zoey 101 star and her fiancé have not yet set a date for their wedding, the couple remains closer than ever. Jamie Lynn, who tells OK! that while her labor was induced, she gave birth naturally and without complications, says that Casey was the one person she wanted in the delivery room with her.

"Once I got in there, my doctor was just so calm and so good it was not bad at all," she says. "I was just talking to Casey. And you know what's so weird? I was asking him if he was okay. He was like, 'Yeah.' We were both so excited."

A baby nursery is set up for little Maddie at the other end of the house, but for now her proud parents like having her next to them at night, so she sleeps in a bassinet in the same room as Jamie Lynn and Casey.

"She is very good," says Jamie Lynn. "She'll feed every two or three hours. When she wakes up in the middle of the night, I'll feed her and she goes right back to sleep. There's no screaming and crying."

The proud mama continues, "We get up in the morning, and she gets her little bath. Then I get my bath. We have a routine, and I love routines. I've worked one out with her, and we're happy going about our little life."

For the entire interview and exclusive photoshoot with Jamie Lynn, Casey and Maddie, pick up the new issue of OK! — on newsstands everywhere Thursday!

Set Issues Derail Britney's Madonna Shoot

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

Britney Spears and Madonna's latest hookup has been temporarily derailed by a technical glitch.

Spears had been scheduled to begin shooting a video montage for Madonna's upcoming tour this morning at the Lots soundstage in Hollywood. But production insiders say that because the set was not finished in time, cameras will not roll until tomorrow.

The set features an elevator, in, around and on which Spears will dance.

"The video will be very deep," a source in the Spears camp tells E! News. "You've never seen Britney like this before. It will blow your mind."

Madonna reached out to Britney to do the project, says the source.

The Material One's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, would only say that "there is footage being shot of Britney some time this week in conjunction with Madonna's upcoming tour" and that the segment was not a music video.

"That is all the information I have available," the rep added. "The rest is a secret."
