Simon Is A Britney Fan

The following italicized article is from www.extratv.warnerbros.com:

Simon Cowell revealed to British tabloid The Daily Mail what he thinks about the Britney Spears comeback.

In September, Cowell confirmed to "Extra" Spears would perform on his hit UK TV show "The X Factor." The "Idol" judge told The Daily Mail he's anxiously awaiting the performance, 'I'm really excited about it, because she has got her act together and the new record is terrific." The pop star will perform "Womanizer" on the show later this month. The "Womanizer" CD single is slated for a November 24 release in the UK.

Cowell is glad to see Britney back on her feet, saying, "She has come back from a very dark place and is a terrific artist."

Britney May Never Regain Full Custody

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

Popstar Britney Spears may lose her kids forever, as she has agreed to a court ruling that put her dad in permanent charge of her affairs.

The ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ hitmaker and pals hope the deal will let her visit her sons, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, more often.

Legal experts have said that after admitting that Britney is unfit to look after herself, the singer may lose her chance getting full custody of the boys, who live with their father, Kevin Federline.

“If one court found she’s not capable of taking care of herself and her affairs, how is another court going to find her able to take care of the affairs of two babies?” The ‘Daily Star’ quoted a family law specialist, as saying. After her public meltdown, Britney is now fighting to be back at top spot.

"Out From Under" A Cover?


First off, as soon as I wrote that title I laughed. It completely wouldn't make sense in any other context other then this. Anyway...

"Out From Under," a new track off Britney's upcoming studio album Circus, is reportedly a cover Joanna Pacitti's version, which appeared on the Bratz movie soundtrack last year.

According to Cheiron-Music.com, Britney re-recorded the track with Guy Sigsworth as the producer. Britney credits Sigsworth in a recent interview, revealing that he worked on two ballads with Britney for Circus, "My Baby" being the other one.

The site continues to say that "Circus," Britney's second single off Circus, is NOT produced by Max Martin despite reports, but by Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly & Benny Blanco! Dr. Luke has worked with Britney before, including producing a track titled "All The Way," in which he describes it as "a feel good, upbeat song." Unfortunately the track did not make the final cut.

But don't think Max Martin got the boot entirely. "If U Seek Amy" is reportedly written by Martin, as well as Alexander Kronlund, Shellback and Savan Kotecha. Martin is also singing backing vocals to the "f-u-c-k me" track.

It’s Britney, Witch!

Britney Spears, who has of late been very open and forthcoming with her fans on everything from spending time with her children to rehearsing for her new music video, was curiously shy this Halloween weekend as she made her way out of Drew Barrymore’s Halloween party. Dressed as a witch (I think), Britney hid behind her conical hat as she departed from the Halloween fĂȘte:
You can see that Brit Brit was rockin’ a witchy black wig while her two friends wore white wigs but it’s evident that she wasn’t really interested in showing off her costume:
Honestly, with all the openness that Britney has been sharing on her official website in recent weeks, I can understand how she might want to lay low every once in a while.

Britney Takes Back Ex Hubby As Butler!

Britney Spears has put her 55-hour former hubby Jason Alexander on the pay roll to be her butler, according to pals.

The pop icon, who has stunned all with her gradual return to stability, offered the job to her childhood pal after learning that he had squandered the 300,000 divorce settlement paid by the singer.


The 26-year-old is trying to help out buddy Jason who has been struggling with his acting and singer career and lived in a grimy flat since the couple split four years ago, according to her close friend.

“She’s going to give Jason all the support she can and make sure he has a decent income so he can keep his dreams alive,” the Daily Star quoted the friend as saying.

The pop princess, whose Las Vegas marriage to Jason ended in less than three days, is said to be happier with ‘the butler’ around.

The friend said: “He’s proving to be a real tonic for her.”

Britney Spears is back with her paparazzo ex Adnan Ghalib, according to tabloid reports.

Spears - who dated and split from the British-born photog earlier this year - is secretly communicating with Ghalib behind her dad's back, reports the National Enquirer.

A source tells the publication, "Britney and Adnan are constantly on the phone or text messaging each other.

"Britney gets excited when he calls or texts because he lavishes her with compliments.

"Adnan searches the Internet for photos of her and then calls and comments on her outfits and her hair, and she loves it.

"She also wears the promise ring he gave her when they were dating."

The source adds that Britney's ex-husband, Kevin Federline, is not happy about her reunion with Adnan: "Kevin is clear about one thing, though.

"If Britney goes to Adnan, she will never get back custody of the kids, and she can forget about ever taking them traveling with her."

X17 XCLUSIVE - Britney's Halloween Party!!!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

X17 was the only one to catch Brit last night in a car, leaving the chic Beverly Park neighborhood (where Robbie Williams just bought a house for $26 million), after having attended a Halloween party at her pal (and Palms owner) George Maloof's house.

Brit was dressed as a platinum-haired fairy -- she was with her always-scary dad (in the front seat) and her fav cousin Laura Lynn Covington, who was also dressed as a wigged-out fairy :)

Happy Halloween, Queen B!

Britney Spears in Tears: Is Spears Pushing Herself Too Hard?

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

Hoping to revive her career is Britney Spears pushing herself too hard, asks In Touch Weekly. The magazine reports that she was recently in tears and upset about her struggles to get back on the top of the music world and the magazine reports that it won't be easy for Britney to prove she's still a superstar.

The report claims that insiders say the singer, who was hospitalized for a breakdown last January, is in danger of buckling under the pressure. is britney really that close to the edge - she certainly appears to look more healthy and certainly has changed her lifestyle dramatically. The magazine says that insiders think differently.

"Britney is not fully recovered from her breakdown - she's definitely nervous that she isn't strong enough yet to handle the pressure of a tour and comeback," an insider tells In Touch. "Britney is very emotional, very vulnerable and is still battling the mixed emotions and confusion that come with intense therapy."

Britney wants joint custody of sons Sean, 3 and Jayden, 2, which she lost in October 2007. But a judge can't reinstate joint custody without lots of observation - a therapist screened her boys' birthday party in September - and Britney will soon be out of eyeshot. Set to begin in March, her world tour will take her away from LA - and her sons - for most of 2009.

Britney Spears hits X Factor

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

IT’S official—BRITNEY SPEARS will be performing on The X Factor in two weeks’ time, I can exclusively reveal.

And who else to tell me but the show boss himself . . . SIMON COWELL.

I joined him on a very, very drunken night at the exclusive Mr Chow restaurant in London after he picked up the Special Recognition gong at the National TV Awards on Wednesday.

As you can see we were both looking our best as I got a taste of being papped—yes that’s me swaying in the background— when we ended our celebratory session at 4am.

After what seemed like our 20 millionth drink Simon spilt the beans that Toxic singer Brit will be on The X Factor on November 15.

He told me: “I’m really excited about it, because she’s got her act together now and the new record’s terrific.

“She’s come back from a very dark place and is a great artist.”

That’s not a bad recommendation to get. As many teary-eyed X Factor contestants will tell you, Simon Cowell isn’t a man who’s easily impressed.

We’ve all seen pop princess Britney’s meltdown over the past few years, but she’s getting back to her best with new single Womanizer.

Simon continued: “I think that what’s happened in the last two years has made her more interesting.

“She wants to be the biggest star in the world again—and she’s got a shot.”
