Is Ashton Kutcher's Reign as Twitter King Ending?

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

There's twouble in the Twitterverse!

After famously beating CNN to 1 million followers last April, Ashton Kutcher has been the undisputed king of Twitter, gaining more followers than anyone else on the micro-blogging site. But are his days as Twitter's most popular user numbered?

Britney Spears is slowly closing in on Kutcher – and the gap between their number of followers gets smaller every day. (At the time of this posting, Kutcher had 4,890,797 followers; Spears had 4,878,516). While Kutcher is the only person who Tweets on his account (several times each day), Spears only sporadically posts on her Twitter account, along with her manager Adam Leber.

Now, the big question remains: If Spears does beat Kutcher, will she ding-dong ditch his doorstep the way Kutcher promised to do to CNN honcho Ted Turner?

Britney Spears Going alternative on New Album?

The following italicized article is from www.theprophetblog.net:

To add yet another genre into the already overcrowded mix for the new Britney Spears album, it looks like the Queen B could be playing around with some alternative sounds after the music publisher of Estonian pop singer Kerli let the news slip during a live chat on Kyte TV yesterday.

When asked about the direction of Kerli’s upcoming sophomore album, the music publisher said that Britney is making a dance record and that she’s actually heard several of the tracks that are being considered for Britney to record. She then described them as being “very electronic” and “kind of alternative”, adding that they’re “very different” from anything Britney has done before.

Fitting in with the alternative theme is news that Britney is working with producer Rusko, who is responsible for the new M.I.A. single “XXXO”.

Earlier last week Britney’s management released a statement regarding her relationship with her agent/boyfriend Jason Trawick, mentioning that the singer has been “busy in the studio working on her next album”.

Very exciting stuff. Perhaps we can get another “And Then We Kiss”, a song that is one of the most underrated and brilliant of Spears career. Thanks to Ethan for this news.

'Glee': Matthew Morrison Says He Isn't Anti-Britney Spears

Matthew Morrison insists, "I never said I didn't want a Britney episode" of "Glee."

Despite bountiful reports that the actor known as glee-club adviser Will "Mr. Schue" Schuester is against FOX's hit Tuesday series doing for the Britney Spears catalog what a high-rated episode recently did for Madonna's music, he maintains that isn't the case.

"They kind of took two answers and made them into one to sound really bad," Morrison tells Zap2it. "It's interesting. The show has struck a chord. You look at the iTunes [best-seller] list every week, and we're in the Top 10. A lot of kids had never even heard a Madonna song, and it's the same for the older generation that has never been exposed to rap songs."
