Britney Spears’ New Year’s Eve Strip Performance

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

Mastermind manager Larry Rudolph always told me that the royal return he was engineering for pop superstar Britney Spears would be “the biggest and best comeback in showbiz history.” He’s within 30 days of seeing that promise come true: He is in the midst of carefully executing his top secret plan, and Vegas has a mighty lot to do with it!

Here’s what I’ve learned so far since the rumor mill went into heavy overdrive:

- Negotiations are going down to the wire for Britney to appear on the Strip on New Year’s Eve with a special two-song performance on network television -- and she’ll co-host part of the year’s retrospective in music segment.

- Her new album, "Circus," will be released on her birthday, Dec. 2.

- Britney herself will soon announce a new world Circus tour, with tickets going on sale in early December.

- The pop princess has confided that she’s hiring three new male backup dancers to add to her current crew specifically for the tour.

Wednesday morning, Britney herself posted photos and details of the upcoming projects on her Web site, britneyspears.com. She even says the talent she found among the 70 dancers trying out for her and manager Larry Rudolph was “amazing.”

By the way, that’s guru Larry in the white T-shirt and baseball cap sitting right alongside her! He’s a Vegas regular and always stays at George Maloof’s Palms, where he is a partner in the Sunset Tan salon in the new Palms Place condo tower.

One Final Request: Britney to Appear on TRL Finale?

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

Is Britney ready to hit TRL one more time?

Stars of TRL past and present will be on hand to bid adieu to the iconic scream-fest countdown show on Sunday, and one of them could be Britney Spears, host Damien Fahey revealed to TVGuide.com.

"We actually do have something with Britney, but I can't exactly say what it is," he said.

An MTV rep tells TVGuide.com that Spears is "not going to be there" live at the New York studio in Times Square for the closing ceremony. But how about a pre-taped segment?

"That's not confirmed, but it has been discussed," Melissa Barreto said.

The show served as the launching pad for Spears' career with her provocative Catholic school girl-clad video "Baby One More Time" and triggered the late '90s pop craze. A decade later, Spears, who holds the record for the most retired videos with 13, still dominates the countdown with her latest tune, "Womanizer," off her upcoming album, Circus.

Hey, girl's got a disc to promote, so she should drop by, right

Britney Spears Prepares For A Photoshoot

BritneySpears.com has been updated, right on schedule, with a new set of behind-the-scene photos of Britney Spears getting all glammed up for an as-yet-unseen photoshoot … giving us a sneak peek at what’s to come when the shoot eventually gets published:

According to her official site, the photos show Britney with a “celebrity photographer in Hollywood” but the photographer is not named. Because the photos do not have a “circus theme” about them, my guess is that the photoshoot is for a magazine.

The pics are very simple but very pretty. They are reminiscent of the scene in the Lucky music video where Britney is getting all made-up for her big close-up. These photos have that 1950’s Hollywood starlet glamor about them. Yeah … it just brings a tear to my eye to see our dear Britney lookin’ so well again.

Britney Puts Sons Before Madonna

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

BRITNEY SPEARS has cancelled a planned concert performance with MADONNA in Miami so that she can spend the run-up to the Thanksgiving holiday with her kids.

Brit was supposed to make a guest appearance on the final show of the Material Girl’s American tour on November 26.

However, despite rave reviews for their appearance together in Los Angeles, the singer has decided to put her family before her career.

Britney has been granted custody of sons JAYDEN JAMES, two, and SEAN PRESTON, three, for the period leading up to the US holiday – which falls on November 27.

Her current custody arrangement with ex-husband KEVIN FEDERLINE means she has two visitations and one overnight visit with her sons per week.

A pal said: “Britney had always agreed to perform in Miami but her circumstances have changed over the past couple of months.

“She and Kevin are getting along fine now, Britney will have Jayden and Sean just before the holiday and Kevin will spend Thanksgiving day with them.”

Britney will then head to France to appear on Star Academy – their version of The X Factor.
Yesterday her mum LYNNE posted a message on her official website saying: “Looks like Britney will be spending her Thanksgiving holiday in Europe.”

Another 'Circus' Review

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

We’re feeling a bit giddy and overwhelmed this afternoon because we’ve just come back from Britney HQ, where we’ve had an exclusive sneak preview of her new album, Circus (out 1 December).

We can officially confirm that Britney’s back on form, which should mean we’re talking more about Brit’s music than her personal dramas from now on. So, what's the album like then?

Well, highlights include title track The Circus (set to be the next single) which has an insanely catchy chorus and loads of cool electro-y bleeps and beeps; it’s vintage Britney, which means it’s totally amazing.

While Kill The Lights and the tongue-in-cheek If U Seek Amy (which is not, we’ve been assured, about the Winehouse) are both fab dance tracks that have a typical Britney attitude and edge to them.

But it’s not all up-tempo dance floor-fillers, Out From Under is a gorgeous ballad with poignant lyrics (which we reckon might be about K-Fed); best of all Britney’s vocals sound natural, making it one of her best ballads ever.

So tell us, are you excited about hearing Britney’s new album?
