Fan Joachim Ohnona's "Britney On Stage" Book
Fluff updates! And no, this isn't BS.com!Speaking of fan-made, Joachim Ohnona, a journalist based in Paris, France, recently released a book about Britney entitled "Britney On Stage,"a Britney-encyclopedia of all the performances and the appearances Brit has made on stage from the first tour to the last "Circus" performances.
Though the book is in French, Ohnona claims it is a great collectors item, featuring over 150 Britney pictures, confidential documents including tour contracts and exclusive information from the staff of Britney's past tours.
Even better, Ohnona published the book himself, saying:
quote:
"I also want you to know that I published this book by myself without any editor.I paid everything myself and I'm not making this to make money, since I'll probably sell less than I need to get my money back.
You can check out the book HERE!
"I've been working on this book for 2 years; it's now published and I'll be really glad to have the support of your wonderful website."
Sure thing!

Britney Heads to Big Easy for High-Stakes Comeback
The following italicized article is from www.people.com:The elaborate costumes are packed. The 16 semis filled with magic props and big-top sets are on the road.
When Britney Spears takes the stage at the New Orleans Arena on March 3 – the opening night of her Circus tour – the stakes will never be higher.
After more than two years of personal drama, the tour will either make or break the professional comeback she began last fall.
According to sources, Spears, 27, who left Friday for Louisiana, has been hard at work preparing for the show, which will feature her signature sexy dance moves, a stage filled with three circus rings, and magic tricks.
"She's pretty determined," a friend tells PEOPLE. "She missed singing and performing and the freedom of that. It gives her an escape and it's what she loves to do, so she's definitely thankful to be doing that again."
Redeeming Herself
Though the pop star seemed to be back in old Britney form when she sang "Womanizer" on Good Morning America in December, the concert will be her biggest performance since her disastrous, out-of-shape appearance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.
"I've got to believe she's ready and will do a professional show," Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of the concert trade magazine Pollstar, says. "If she doesn't, it's over."
Spears's last tour, in 2004, was canceled after the singer injured her knee during a video shoot. (She spent her newfound free time with then-boyfriend Kevin Federline; they were engaged that summer.) So far, the buzz for the upcoming 31-city outing is strong.
"In general, the tickets have sold very well. Some shows are already sold out," Bongiovanni says. "Obviously, it means there is significant fan interest in seeing her do her live show. That fact that she's been off the scene for a while helps with the pent-up demand."
Lingering Issues
Of course, some interest may stem from the sideshow that has been her personal life. On Wednesday, her father, Jamie, was granted an extension on a restraining order against his daughter's ex-manager Sam Lutfi. (Jamie holds indefinite legal control over her life following her two forced hospitalizations in January 2008.)
In a hearing on Monday, Jamie testified that prior to his stepping in, Britney's life "was pretty well a disaster. She had nothing going on, just mostly [being] in the tabloids. [But now] weight-wise she's eating properly, she's very stable, making her meetings, taking care of her babies [Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2], doing things she's supposed to do," he said.
Jamie also testified that during her breakdown, Britney was "kind of wild" and "just very messed up."
Britney's current manager, Larry Rudolph, told PEOPLE in November that dancing and singing is what helped the singer get her life back on track. "She identifies with her career in a lot of ways and getting her career back is a great therapeutic thing for her," he explained.
Seconds the pal, "She's better when she puts her energy into that."
Still, legal experts say her father could remain in control for months or even years. She'll only regain her independence once she proves to the court – backed by doctors' opinions – that she can handle her own affairs.
Is She Ready?
The pop star's friend worries the tour may be too much for the singer to handle, but notes that "it's what her team thought was best."
What will make the trip easier is that Federline is taking the couple's kids on the road so they can keep up their regular visitation schedule with Mom.
"Having the boys with her is going to make all the difference," says a source. "They are the reason she can do this."

Pink 'Really Angry' Over Britney Tour Plans
The following italicized article is from www.digitalspy.com.uk:Pink has reportedly vowed to speak out against Britney Spears after hearing that the star has hired elephants for her forthcoming Circus tour.
The 'So What' singer is waiting to hear whether the rumours are true before going public with her disapproval, according to the Daily Star.
A source told the newspaper: "Pink is really angry at the idea of elephants being carted around on tour, especially with the loud music, lights and craziness that generally ensues on a tour of any kind.
"But she's waiting to see if the rumour about using animals is true and what Britney will be doing with the animals before judging."
Pink, who campaigns for the animal rights organisation PETA, used an elephant in one of her early music videos, but it is believed that she now regrets the decision.
The insider explained: "The elephant's trainer was making the elephant kneel on concrete and get up again and Pink went crazy. The trainer told her she enjoyed it but Pink said: 'Oh, so you actually speak to elephants then?'"
