Britney Spears Carries On Rocking The Recovery Road

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

Britney Spears caused a commotion in the Bronx, making a public appearance at Junior High School 142 in the neighborhood. The "Crazy" singer looked fantastic as she took time to sign autographs for children and pose for photographs with fans and members of the NYPD. After 2007 was a year of bizarre behaviour and poor publicity, it seems that Britney has decided 2008 would prove to be her comeback year, and so far so good! The star looked pleased by the attention and beautiful in a simple blue dress and brown heels.

Spears is expected to release her sixth studio album in December, the appropriately titled "Circus", and she has already started rehearsing for a world tour starting in early 2009. For all those Britney fans who wanted to see their idol return to her former glory, perhaps now they might have their wish.

Britney Surprises NYC Students

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

Britney Spears started Day 3 of her trip to NYC by driving 30 minutes to visit a public school in the Bronx. But, of course, with Brit, nothing is ever that simple – because John Philip Sousa junior high school wasn’t even open for classes.

So with the gates locked for the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah, the school had to round up a handful of kids just for Britney to meet. Welcomed inside, Brit disappeared inside the school in the Baychester neighborhood before coming back out after 20 minutes to sign autographs for the kids – who were nearly outnumbered by the 20+ local cops there to guard her.

Looking relaxed and happy to be spending time with the children, Brit posed for pics and joked with the thrilled students for around ten minutes, then ducked back inside the school.

“I can’t believe she’s here,” said one star-struck pupil, “I couldn’t say anything – it’s Britney. I was shell-shocked.”

And just when it looked like something pretty normal had finally happened during her chaotic day in the city, Brit’s convoy of SUVs came screeching through the quiet streets with a full police escort – looking more like the President’s motorcade in an air raid than a pop star in a residential neighborhood.

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

A few months ago, nobody would have trusted Britney around a group of children -- but today she made a bunch of kids' lives by showing up at their school in Bronx.

Though closed for the Jewish holiday, the school was granted special permission from the Board of Education to open up just for Brit so she could make a donation to their music program.

The kids were thrilled.

Britney Spears has been causing quite a stir with her recent trip to New York City and the pop star brought Brit frenzy to Broadway for a showing of “In The Heights.”

Just before the lights dimmed at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, Brit took her seats, a fellow theatergoer told OK! Magazine.

Even in darkness of the house, other theater patrons could see Brit’s new radiant look.

“She looked really good,” an audience member said of the star. “I saw her hair and her sparkly eyes.”

During the curtain call, Brit was reportedly quickly usher out of the house — but not to flee the scene.

“She came backstage,” “In the Heights” star Doreen Montalvo told the mag. “She was so sweet and generous. She took pictures with the cast and musicians.”

Fellow “Heights” star Robin de Jesus agreed, saying she was “totally cool” when she came backstage. Adding, “She was freaking awesome!”

Prior to her time on the Great White Way, Brit caused blocks of gridlock as fans and photographers attempted to catch of glimpse of the pop star enjoying the Big Apple.

She reportedly had business meetings earlier in the day in Midtown, then enjoyed shopping in SoHo — even closing down the entire Mont Martre store, where she left with bags full of clothes.

Danja Describes New "Circus" Tracks

Danja, producer for several tracks off "Blackout" ("Gimme More," "Break The Ice," "Get Naked"), describes a few of the new songs he's worked on with Britney for her 6th studio album "Circus" to Remixmag.com.

"I like that cinematic sound," Danja says. "I got a couple of tracks on Britney's [upcoming album] that sound like action sequences from The Mummy 3 or something, just bits and pieces of horn hits that make it sound dramatic."

"I'm in tune with certain chords that make you feel a certain way," the producer continues. "I know how to grab your emotions. I know what to play in whatever order to bring those feelings forth. This is a universal language. I'm learning how to capture those feelings and inject them into my music. I'm learning how to make you feel what I feel."

As for Danja's thoughts on Circus? "Way harder than Blackout."

Britney Spears In Bidding War With Porn Site Over Sex Tape?

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

Britney Spears is reportedly embroiled in a bidding war with a porn website to prevent an alleged sex tape she made with ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib becoming public property.


According to a pal, the singer is willing to pay almost anything to prevent their intimate encounter from hitting the web.

The singer would rather Adnan not see a dime but is prepared to cough up to keep the tape from surfacing.

Claims that a pornography site is offering $5 million for the tape reportedly have the Spears camp sweating.

“Her lawyers have been working overtime," the Spears insider tells The Sun.

"They’ve been told to do whatever it takes to stop the video making it onto the Internet.”

Brit's ex told Heat earlier this week, “There is such a tape, but I won’t discuss prices for hypothetical enquiries.

"Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further.”

Britney Is All Harmony In Z100 Chat

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

Z100 afternoon host J.J. Kincaid says Britney Spears is looking great these days. He should know, because she paid him a visit on the air Monday.

"You see all this stuff on the blogs," he says. "But I can tell you that in person she looks really good. She was cool off the air, too. She seemed together - nothing at all like what we were seeing a year ago."

A year ago, of course, Britney was the American train wreck. Now her hair has grown back, she has a new CD out, and she told Kincaid she's planning a world tour next year. "If she pulls it together, that's the kind of story ending you never hear," says Kincaid. "Most of them end so badly."

Kincaid's interview came together in a flash, after Spears' manager text-messaged WHTZ (100.3 FM) program director Sharon Dastur, saying Britney would like to come by and thank the station for its Britney weekend.

"We didn't know if she'd do an interview or what," says Kincaid. "We just had to be ready."

Her people finally decided she could do three minutes on the air, on the condition the conversation not go to tabloid places.

"That's okay," says Kincaid. "It's their call. But I'd love to sit down with Britney some day for a '60 Minutes' kind of interview, where she just talks about the stuff that's happened. I think that would be fascinating."

As it is, he says, he still threw a scare into some of her entourage by saying on the air that he wanted to bring up "the T-word."

"There must have been 15 people in the room, and when I said that, you could feel every one reaching for their BlackBerry to try to figure out what I was about to ask," he says. "When I said 'tour,' it was like the whole room let out this huge sigh of relief."

BRITNEY SPEARS was forced to cut short a shopping trip to New York after she chased by dozens of fans.

The Toxic singer was set to hit a jewellery store in the Big Apple's trendy SoHo neighbourhood on Tuesday (30Sep08).

But the star didn't get a chance to purchase any goods after she was surrounded by passersby who had heard she was due to make an appearance.

Just moments after slipping out of her luxurious SUV, the star was pushed back into the vehicle by her worried security team who couldn't control the swarm of snappers and overzealous fans who were all competing to grab a photo of the star.

Spears is in the city to promote her latest single Womanizer, and told a New York radio DJ earlier this week (begs29Sep08) she is "definitely" planning a world tour for 2009.

Spears in the Headlights -- Brit Retreats

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

You could see the fear in her frightened doe eyes -- the exact moment Britney Spears decided a trip to a NY jewelry store was too insane for her to handle.

The crazy scene went down in Soho just moments ago, as Britney took all of 5 steps outside her SUV, when an army of paparazzi and overzealous fans overpowered her five-man security squad. She turned, she froze, she ran back into the car, and finally -- she got the hell out of there.

Britney Spears Hits Broadway

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

After two days of madness and mayhem on the streets of New York, pop superstar Britney Spears took some time for herself on Tuesday night when she took in a showing of Broadway hit In the Heights.

Audience members at the Richard Rodgers Theatre tell OK! that Brit was ushered to her seat once the lights were dimmed for the opening number.

"She looked really good," said one theater patron about the star. "I saw her hair and her sparkly eyes."

As the musical's cast began to take their curtain calls at the end of the show, Britney was rushed out of her seat — but she it wasn't so she could head back to her hotel right away.

"She came backstage," says In the Heights star Doreen Montalvo. "She was so sweet and generous. She took pictures with the cast and musicians."

According to co-star Robin de Jesus, Brit was "totally cool," when she came backstage. "She was freaking awesome."

That sentiment was echoed by actress Karen Olivio, who told OK!, "It's always great to have another performer there for you."

The theater trip finished off a second day of business and shopping in NYC -- in which she'd whipped up the kind of pandemonium that only Britney can, bringing entire city blocks grinding to a halt and turning even the most icy-cool, seen-it-all-before neighborhoods into a madhouse of screaming fans.

The Princess of Pop spent the day leading a train of a dozen or more cars full of photogs and fans through the already-chaotic New York traffic, as she darted up and down Manhattan like a yo-yo -- searching for the perfect place to shop!

Looking chic in a stripy red-and-black top and black beret, she started the day with another business meeting in a Midtown skyscraper.

Then Brit headed way down town to the exclusive Fragments jewelry store in the trendy SoHo shopping area -- but only managed to take one step out of her SUV before getting mobbed and jumping back into the car!

Bizarrely, she then called by her nearby hotel for a few minutes before turning around and taking the whole crazy procession weaving through the traffic again to a swank mall just a few blocks from where she had taken the meeting less than an hour earlier -- only to call in at one store and head all the way back to the hotel!

But this time Brit made sure she got her retail fix by having the whole of the Mont Martre store closed down just for her.

She tried on a pile of clothes, including a turquoise silk cowl-neck top ($198), before leaving with armful of goodies.

Then after a quick stop to change into a glam black dress, the ever-expanding Spears Parade was on the move again, heading all the way back up to the Broadway theater district for the show.

We never thought we'd say this, but when that girl leaves town, New York is going to seem like an oasis of calmness and tranquility!
