Pussycat Dolls to Britney Spears: We'll Babysit!

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

Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger says she can't wait to tour with Britney Spears next year.

"We've just been working on it for a long time," she said Friday on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show. "It's going to be a huge tour -- we just had to get on it. We're so excited!"

She says the Dolls have been pals with Spears for some time; the singer even shot a cameo for their video "When I Grow Up" earlier this year. (Spears' cameo was edited out of the final cut.)

Scherzinger said she is also looking forward to seeing Spears' boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, on tour.

"The Pussycat Dolls can babysit Britney Spears' kids!" she told Seacrest.

That's the influence her kids need right now, Seacrest joked.


"Ryan, I hear that sarcasm!" Scherzinger shot back.

Spears' world tour -- her first in five years -- includes 27 cities and kicks off in her home state of Louisiana on March 3.

'Circus' To Sell 470.000 - 490.000 Copies

As we head into the home stretch of the sales week, it’s all about the resurgent Britney Spears, whose Circus (Jive/ZLG) has far exceeded expectations and now appears headed toward 470-490k. Just what the doctor ordered—a feel-good story heading into the holidays. The only other debut that will make the leader board is Akon’s Freedom (SRC/Universal Motown), which should wind up at #8 with a projected 90-95. Otherwise it’ll be the usual suspects: #3 Taylor Swift (Big Machine), 170-180k; #4 Beyonce (Music World/Columbia), 160-170k; #5 Kanye West (Roc-a-Fella/IDJ), 150-160k; #6 Twilight (Chop Shop/Atlantic), 120-130k; #7 Nickelback (Roadrunner), 110-120k; #9 Now 29 (UMe) 85-90k; and #10 a dust-up between David Cook (19/RCA/RMG) and High School Musical 3 (Walt Disney), both trending toward 80-85k. Speaking of trends, next week’s Top 10 will break the recent pattern of domination by one or two labels and will instead be spread among 10 different ones.

Britney Spears: Candy Cane Chick

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

It’s been a big week for Britney Spears, who’s well on her way to a major career comeback. And last night she was in Los Angeles, helping to spread the Christmas cheer.

The “Womanizer” songstress took part in the Light of the Angels Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at the LA Live entertainment complex, flipping the candy cane switch that lit up the tree’s lights.

And Miss Spears wasn’t alone- she was joined by councilwoman Jan Perry as well as Los Angeles’ mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Earlier this week, Brit Brit was also involved in the big tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center in New York City, though she taped her segment ahead of time.

Britney Spears Wants Breast Reduction

Britney Spears is apparently considering a breast reduction, saying she struggles to fit into slinky clothes.

The pop princess wore a revealing dress on her 27th birthday this week, but she told the Daily Star she struggles to get into stage outfits.

"I have a love-hate relationship with my boobs," she said. "At the moment I hate them. I want them smaller."

She added: "I can't wear the kind of suits that used to love, the red PVC one I got to wear for the Oops I Did It Again video, for example, and I don't feel streamlined.

"I'm tempted to have a breast reduction so I can slink into some amazing stage outfits for my next set of shows. I know they look sexy but sometimes they get in the way."
