Britney Spears TO PERFORM At The 2008 MTV VMAs

Woot! It’s really beginning to sound like my suspicions that Britney Spears will, in fact, be performing at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards next month are correct. E! News is reporting that celebrity hairstylist (and judge on Bravo’s Shear Genius) Kim Vo has spilled the news that he is designing 3 different hairstyles for Britters for VMAs night — one for red carpet, one for the show and one for her live performance:

[C]hatty hairdresser … Kim Vo … told E! News exclusively that he just may be creating three VMA looks for the “E-mail My Heart” singer. What could Britney possibly need three different hairstyles for? … The first look would obviously be for the red carpet. Vo says he and Brit are still “feeling out” ideas about how that will look. The second style would be for the show itself, probably something “more chic, like a side ponytail.” And look No. 3 would be for her PERFORMANCE! That’s right, we said performance. For such an event, Vo and Brit want something “more quintessential Britney.” “Performance” and “quintessential Britney” said together could only mean our girl is definitely coming back to us.

And since we’re on the Britney Spears tip, here are a couple of supercute pics of Britney enjoying a lovely afternoon (this past Tuesday) with her son Jayden James (presumably Sean Preston was there, too) and a little friend of his … who just so happens to be Kingston James Stefani-Rossdale:
How cute are these pics … and I love that Gwen is cool with letting Britney watch her baby boy. Mebbe once Gwen finally births her baby, Britney will be asked to do some more babysitting in the future?

Also this week, Brit Brit was seen making her way out of Conway Studios here in LA lookin’ as smiley as can be …
… it’s unclear if she was working on her new album or if she was, perhaps, rehearsing for her rumored VMAs performance. In any event, she looks great and life seems to be going really well for our dear Britney right now. I hope the best is yet to come … we shall soon see.

No Duet For Britney & Justin

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

Britney and Justin – together again?

Unfortunately for fans of the former pop couple, it’s not to be, as Access Hollywood has learned that the pair will not be recording a duet for Brit’s upcoming album, contrary to reports.

Justin “is not scheduled to be in the recording studio with Britney,” a rep for the “SexyBack” singer told Access. The pop stars haven’t sung together publicly since they shared a stage with Aerosmith, Nelly and Mary J. Blige at the 2001 Superbowl, during Justin’s N*Sync days.

Britney’s spending her summer in the studio recording a follow-up to last year’s “Blackout.” She’s also been working on her bod, showing off a fit figure in the new issue of OK!

“I’m the healthiest I’ve been all my life,” Britney told the mag. “My diet has a lot to do with my getting into shape… I try to do just 1,200 calories a day. It may sound like it’s not much, but it’s actually a lot of food if you eat the right things.”

More Rumblings of a Britney VMA Performance

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

First it was the VMA promos (did anyone else who watched them feel slightly uncomfortable for Britney?), then it was rumors of a VMA performance in a British tabloid, and now it’s a chatty hairdresser—all giving us hope that the Britney Spears we know and love is indeed coming back.

Lucky for us, that chatty hairdresser is our very own Kim Vo, the Daily 10’s resident hair guru, who told E! News exclusively that he just may be creating three VMA looks for the “E-mail My Heart” singer.

What could Britney possibly need three different hairstyles for? That info's way too valuable to be included before the jump...

The first look would obviously be for the red carpet. Vo says he and Brit are still “feeling out” ideas about how that will look.

The second style would be for the show itself, probably something “more chic, like a side ponytail.”

And look No. 3 would be for her PERFORMANCE! That’s right, we said performance. For such an event, Vo and Brit want something “more quintessential Britney.” "Performance" and “quintessential Britney” said together could only mean our girl is definitely coming back to us.

Before running off to his other hair guru gig, Sheer Genius, Vo also offered some valuable advice on how to achieve Britney’s current look. It’s called S-curl, in which he adds "more golden highlights and less platinum” and tops it all off with a conditioning mask.

Christian Singer Reaches Out to Britney Spears

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

Still hot on the trail of a massive career comeback, Britney Spears was spotted leaving Conway Studios yesterday (August 20) after several hours in the vocal booth.

The “Gimme More” songstress looked pleased with herself as she made her way to her waiting car amidst a mass of shutterbugs and flashbulbs, looking hot in a green mock turtleneck, dark jeans, and a pair of chunky brown heels.

And it sounds like Miss Spears has a new cheering section from an unlikely crowd - Christian singer/songwriter Bebo Norman recently released a song for the troubled pop princess in hopes that she’ll turn to Jesus in her time of need.

Of the song, Norman explained, “‘Britney’ is a song about what our culture says and does to young women these days. It’s about the lies we tell them about fame and money and what’s beautiful and what will give them life. It’s an apology for those lies. But more than that, it’s an invitation to the truth about a God who is bigger than the pain this world so often leaves them in.”

You can check out Bebo Norman’s “Britney” on iTunes and most other online retailers.

THE long-awaited duet between Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake may finally be recorded. Spies said Spears will team up with her ex-love for a song on her next album due at the end of the year. The two were supposed to team up for her last album, but Spears - under the influence of friends including Osama Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib - missed her recording session with Timbaland at the legendary producer's Virginia Beach studio last August. "She just didn't show up," our spies said at the time.
