US Weekly Review

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

Has Britney Spears benefited from things getting less chaotic? Though she’s called her postmeltdown life under father Jamie’s conservatorship merely “existing,” she’s produced a polished follow-up to last year’s Blackout with her sixth studio CD. The amped-up title track has a triumphant Spears declaring, “I call the shots,” and she recalls Prince on the club-pleaser “If U Seek Amy.” But the real shocker is the self-penned ballad “My Baby,” on which Spears evokes — yes — Mariah Carey while singing about her sons with the best vocals of her roller-coaster career.

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

We caught a glimpse of Brit in her car, arriving to rehearsals for tomorrow night's Bambi Awards in Offenburg, Germany (in the cold Black Forest region) just hours ago.

The jury for the prestigious awards said on Tuesday:

"The pop princess is back on her throne, better than ever before. The one-time teen idol has become a mature young woman who overcame the greatest crisis of her life with flying colors. Britney Spears achieved her triumph thanks to her iron discipline, her unique musical talent and her millions of fans, who remained loyal to the star even in her darkest hours."

Britney will pick up the Bambi in the Pop International category and will take the stage to perform Womanizer.

Congrats, Brit!!

Britney Spears Prepares For An Important Live Performance In Germany

Yesterday we saw photos of our dear Britney Spears causing a commotion at LAX airport here in LA as she made her way to Germany where she is scheduled to appear and PERFORM at the Bambi Awards in Düsseldorf, Germany tomorrow night. Here are a couple pics of Brit Brit leaving rehearsals in Germany yesterday ahead of her first live performance in about a year’s time:
I’m not entirely sure what Britney is scheduled to perform at the Bambi Awards but I suspect that since she is performing Womanizer on both Star Academy in France and on X-Factor in the UK later on this week (and presumably on Good Morning America next Tuesday) she will also be performing the same song/routine in Germany. Tomorrow night’s performance will be Britney’s first since her disastrous debacle at the 2007 MTV VMAs last year. While I have no doubt that she is in a much better position this year to put on a killer performance, I’m still a bit nervous to see this performance. I’m sure she’s got it in her to pull it off … do you?

Britney's Big Apple Birthday

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

Britney Spears is already set to drop her new album Circus on Good Morning America on her birthday, Dec. 2, so it's no surprise that there's talk of a big birthday bash for the comeback queen that night.

Page Six reports that the Britster will have a "very private, Circus-theme event" at Tenjune in NYC, a club she's had some fun times at in her partying past.

The NYC celebration of both her birthday and her new album will be quite different from the Sharon Stone-hosted party in a Bel Air mansion last year, which included guests like former friends Sam Lufti and cousin Alli Sims.

Paris Hilton also showed up last year, focusing much of the paparazzi attention on herself; while Britney picked up expensive items in a gifting suite and blew out candles on a small round cake with a handful of friends watching.

Here's to hoping 27 is a better year for Brit!

Britney Confirms UK Concert Dates

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

US singer Britney Spears is to play two concerts at the O2 arena in London next June - the only European shows on her forthcoming world tour.

Tickets for the dates on 3 and 4 June will go on general sale on 5 December - although fans who register with her website can buy them 24 hours earlier.

"It's going to be very special," said Rob Hallett of tour promoter AEG.

The concert, he said, would take its theme from her latest album The Circus, which is released next week.

"We're creating a musical circus," he said. "Expect to see jugglers, dancers, tattooed ladies and acrobats."

According to the promoter, the concerts will be Spears' only dates in Europe "for the foreseeable future".

Spears last performed in the UK in 2004 when her Onyx Hotel tour visited Birmingham, Glasgow, Belfast, Manchester and Wembley Arena in London.

'Radiant'

The 26-year-old will be in the capital this weekend to appear on ITV1 talent show The X Factor.

Before that she will travel to Germany to attend the annual Bambi entertainment awards in Dusseldorf.

The singer will be named best international pop star after achieving what organisers have called a "stunning comeback from an absolute low point".

"Britney Spears is back," said host Hubert Burda. "Radiant and better than ever, the erstwhile idol has reclaimed her throne."

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the performer admitted she felt "like an old person" now her much-documented troubles are behind her.

"I go to bed at, like, 9.30 every night and I don't go out or anything," she is quoted as saying. "I just feel like an old fart."

Spears' mother Lynne, meanwhile, has been telling the BBC how happy she is that her daughter has got her life back on track.

"Britney wants to do it right," she told Radio 5 Live's Colin Paterson, attributing her recent turnaround to having "good people around her" and "lots and lots of prayer".
