Shaggy To Work With Britney Spears & Robbie Williams?

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

The Boombastic Mr Lover Lover man Shaggy has revealed that he wants to do a reggae duet with both Britney Spears and Robbie Williams.

Talking to us ahead of the release of his greatest hits album, out this week, the It Wasn't Me star said: "Imagine Britney Spears doing a hardcore dancehall record, have her doing the dutty wine! Or Robbie Williams doing an old classic rubabdub dub riddim or something like that, something unique. It can’t be just a regular collaboration.”

He also said it was time for family to force Amy Winehouse into rehab for her own good - despite being a very public fan of jazz cigarettes himself.

The reggae star, who's sold more than 20million albums and had five UK Number One singles, said: "There's rock'n'roll behaviour and there's out of control and I think she's out of control. That's when you need some intervention."

Britney's Comeback Checklist

While Amy Winehouse has been wreaking havoc on the poor and unsuspecting people of London, Britney Spears has been quietly taking care of her personal bizznazz here in SoCal without making much of a fuss and without causing any sort of ruckus at all. It's really amazing how much difference a few months makes. It wasn't that long ago that Britney was he one putting her life in peril on a nightly basis with her dangerous partying behavior and now she's in a position where she is working diligently on making a serious comeback. Here are a few photos from our dear Britney's quiet but positively progressive week:
Early this week, Britters spent some alone time with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James along with her ever-watchful daddy Papa Jamie Spears at her Beverly Hills manse. The group spent some time playing in her backyard and then went en masse for a little walk together ... possibly the same kind of family walks that Brit Brit used to enjoy with her family when she was growing up in Kentwood, LA.
For over a week now, Britney has been religiously showing up at various Bally's Total Fitness gyms all around SoCal where she has been diligently engaging in a serious work out regiment. Not only has Britney been working on her fitness but she is also reportedly in negotiations to become the new spokesperson for Bally's Total Fitness ... which is pretty unheard of, considering that just last year no major corporation would even dream of associating their brand with her likeness.
And just yesterday, Britney was spotted making her way out of a private session with her new vocal coach, proudly carrying a CD of her vocal lesson for all to see. I think the message is that Britney wants us all to know that she is very serious about getting her life back in order so that she can once again reach the heights of superstardom that she once enjoyed. I can see it now -- a new album and maybe a tour in the Fall with headlines around the world proclaiming that Britney Spears has pulled off the greatest comeback in music history. Monuments might be erected in her honor, sonnets may be penned to her glory ... pilgrims from all over the world will stream to Southern California in the hopes that they might be able to touch the hem of her garments so that they might too benefit from the miracle that has changed her life. Well ... maybe it wont' go that far but I can deffo foresee a chance for Britney Spears to stun the world with a massive turnaround. We're witnessing the seeds of her transformation right now ... and it's a really amazing sight to see.

Britney Spears attacks Amy Winehouse’s Grammy performance

The following italicized article is taken from www.showbispy.com:

Bitter Britney Spears reportedly attacked Amy Winehouse’s amazing Grammy Awards performance - even shrieking: “She is so obviously stoned!”

Spears’ last public performance, at the MTV Video Music Awards, was so universally mocked and criticized - many wondered if it would kill off her career. But that did not stop the star trashing most of the people on-stage at the Grammys, even having harsh words for former Beatle Ringo Starr, according to a friend who was with her when she watched the show.

“Too bad the least talented Beatle was the one who showed up,” Britney reportedly sniped. “They should have got Paul [McCartney].”

But the harshest words were for five-award winner Amy - and also the most ironic, given Britney’s own last big performance.

The friend insists Britney could not get over how “stoned” Amy looked - even though most people thought the British singer was in good form and the biggest attack against Britney for her VMA’s performance was SHE looked stoned. “Look at her! Look how stoned she is!,” Britney screamed at her friends, according to a U.S. report. “She is so obviously stoned!”

Britney told her friends that the show was “a mess”, according to the U.S report, especially the parts celebrating the 50-year history of the Grammys. “They didn’t explain to kids why the old stuff was important,” she reportedly complained.

One performance she did love, however, was Tina Turner - but not her partner on-stage, Beyonce. “She sure knows how to toss her hair,” Britney said sarcastically. “Too bad she can’t dance as good as Tina — who’s old enough to be her grandmother!”

Along with raving about “how great” she thought Turner’s performance was, Spears was moved to tears by Kanye West’s emotionally charged tribute to his late mother, Donda West, as he performed “Hey Mama”.

And she also loved another part of the show - the hat worn by John Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono, saying she would “kill for it”.

The star was also full of criticism for Recording Academy president Neil Portnow who was an almost constant presence throughout the show. “Nobody knows who he is … and they care less,” said Spears, according to the friend.

OK! Exclusive: Britney's Different Personalities

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

Just before midnight on Jan. 19, Britney Spears popped open several bottles of champagne inside her Beverly Hills mansion. The occasion? She'd just invited six members of the paparazzi into her home for a party.

The stunned photographers were asked to leave their cameras outside, but otherwise to enjoy themselves. And enjoy themselves they did! The group, accompanied by Brit's friend Sam Lufti, drank, smoked, ate leftovers from the fridge and laughed for about two hours as Amy Winehouse played in the background.

Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the party came to a screeching halt. "Britney went into her bedroom and came out in a different pair of jeans and her pink wig," one of the photogs tells OK!. "Her eyes went wide and she was yelling, 'How the f**k did you get in here? Get the f**k out! Sam, get them out! Why are they eating my food? Get them out!'"

Britney's complete 180-degree turn was shocking, even to the most hardened of the paparazzi. "One person walked into that bedroom, someone else walked out," one of the photographers tells OK!. "It was scary."

Yawn! Is this the best they can come up with? I could now go explaining how un-true this story is and that it was confirmed by the paps that she only drank 1/2 glas of wine but ya know what? Screw the them! They're still gonna have her ass in the magazines anyway!

Producer Mark Ronson Interested In Working With Britney

The following italicized article is taken from www.showbizspy.com:

Producer Mark Ronson refuses to work with troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. The Brit Award-nominated music-maker, who has worked with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and Robbie Williams, says despite Lohan’s friendship with his sister Samantha, he isn’t interested in getting involved with Lindsay’s next record.

He said: “Samantha and Lindsay are good friends, but no, I wouldn’t produce her album. I don’t know, I am more interested in working with musicians and groups of singers. Not to take anything away from her. I am sure she will make a good record.”

However, he does say that he’d be interested in working with Britney Spears - whose song ‘Toxic’ he remixed for his current album ‘Version’

When asked which artist he wants to collaborate with next, he replied: “Britney Spears! No, I’m just kidding. I have never met her. I don’t know, I have already worked with so many talented people. It’s not like I have a lack of inspiring people to surround myself with.”

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress, 21, is said to be under pressure to release a follow up to her 2005 album ‘A Little More Personal’ - because she is contracted to produce another record for the Universal Music Group.

Last year, Lindsay and Mark’s sister, DJ Samantha Ronson were rumored to have had a lesbian relationship. With one former celebrity claiming that Lindsay was “openly” interested in women and was “spicing it up” with Samantha.

X17 XCLUSIVE - BRITNEY'S RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST ADNAN!

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

So here's the whole story ...

Last night at 2 am, Britney Spears invited two of our photographers into her Beverly Hills pad for a little conversation. They chatted for a while, then escorted Brit and Sam in the car, so Britney could drive around and listen to music. After that, it was back to the house ... The guys ended up staying with her for FOUR hours!

Earlier in the evening, Britney went out to the gas station with Sam around 8 pm, then they came out again later in her Black Escalade, went to club Goa but never got out of the car. When she returned home after that second outing, was when she invited the photographers to come inside her home.

Roberto and Leandro from X17online went inside ... Britney said, "Come with me, let's have fun." She opened a bottle of champagne for them and went outside on the patio to smoke cigarettes. Our photogs say Britney nursed a 1/2 glass of champagne the entire evening and never drank more.

Britney put on Amy Winehouse and her own CD, changed into jeans and her famous pink wig.

Team X17er Robert said, "We had fun. Britney was funny, very relaxed, dancing a little bit, and she carried her little dog all the time."

At one point in the discussion, Sam took a paper out of his pocket -- it was a restraining order against Adnan Ghalib. He said, "Look at this!"

Britney expressed disappointment and anger toward Adnan for being "set-up" in photographs that Adnan and his agency have sold of Britney and Adnan together.

Roberto and Leandro didn't ask questions -- they were surprised at the restraining order. After talking about it briefly, the continued having a good time and around 6 am, our photogs said they had to leave. Britney begged them to stay, but Sam insisted that she get some sleep.

When the photogs left, lots of paparazzi who weren't invited in were waiting outside. (TMZ and Hollywoodtv were turned away at Britney's door at 2 am!)

Still more details coming later ...
