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?'"

The star recently dressed in an alligator costume for a PETA advertisement.

Britney To Make $100 Million Of 'Circus' Tour

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

BRITNEY Spears will spend a mind-blowing $7.2million on staff this year.

But the pop babe will make $100million with her biggest tour in seven years.

Figures for the star show she pays dad Jamie a $200,000 salary.

He has run her finances since her 2007 meltdown.

Britney also pays $180,000 to her mum Lynne. Her manager Larry Rudolph, fired when she hit the skids then re-hired last year, gets the biggest slice of her income – up to $1.5million a year.

And eight bodyguards who work in shifts round the clock each earn $150,000, adding up to a personal security bill of $1.2million.

Britney pays ex-husband Kevin Federline $480,000 a year, made up of $20,000 per month in “spousal support” and $15,000 a month on nannies for their sons Preston, three, and Jayden, two.

Federline, 30, will also get a $5,000-a-week “bonus” for letting the kids join Britney, 27, on legs of her Circus tour which kicks off in New Orleans on March 3. When the massive show hits the road, Britney’s staff wage bill will soar to $616,000 a month.

At the height of her problems her income fell to $737,000 per month.

She blew $60million in her 18 months of turmoil and it’s believed her crew on tour now includes a psychiatrist.

Another constant companion will be $100,000-a-year assistant Brett Miller.

But gone will be the hangers-on including “lifestyle guru” Sam Lutfi and paparazzo ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, both of whom are the subjects of court restraining orders.

A member of her entourage said of Brit’s past problems: “She was literally throwing money away…unscrupulous people used her as a cash cow.”

Britney Spears Defies Diet Plan With Fast Food Binges

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

Britney Spears is putting her comeback in jeopardy by binging on fast food, it has been claimed.

According to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, the singer, 27, is ignoring the 1,200 calories-a-day diet devised for her by her managers by gorging on burgers and chips.

A source tells the publication, "Britney's been eating burgers and chips for lunch in complete defiance of the strict eating plan worked out for her.

"It's as if she's trying to defy her father and bosses, and break out of the controlled environment by turning away from the healthy lifestyle they've put in place."

"Every decision in her life is made for her and she's kept under the strictest watch to make sure her comeback is a success. Eating her favourite foods is one of the few ways she can control things."

Spears - who has been under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, since her high-profile breakdown earlier this year - has shed 28lbs since July after being put on a strict exercise regime and diet as part of her continuing recovery.

However, she recently claimed the strict conditions of her new lifestyle make her feel trapped.

She said, "When I tell people the way I feel, they hear me, but they aren't really listening. I'm sad. Even when you go to jail, there is always the time you know you are going to get out, you know? But in this situation, it's never ending. "

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."

Britney's Circus Is A Ring Masterpiece

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

PLAYLIST has had a world exclusive listen to Britney Spears’ new album Circus.

I am the first journalist to hear the record, out on December 1, in full and I am thrilled to report the pop princess is on startling good form.

The 26-year-old explained the title, saying: “It’s me as an entertainer, and what I do, and what I bring to a show is basically like a circus.

“I bring costumes and fun theatrical things that make people just look in awe and everything tells a story on stage and makes people want to watch it more.”

Here is my track-by-track rundown. Watch out for Brit’s performance on The X Factor on November 29.

WOMANIZER VERDICT: 9/10

Ace synth-tastic slice of electro-pop. The lead single follows on nicely from Britney’s Blackout album.

CIRCUS VERDICT: 9/10

Britney’s next single observes that: “There are two types of people in this world, those that entertain and those that observe.” With a wall-of-sound chorus being as glam as a Kylie corset it’s easy to see which box she ticks. A true funfair.

OUT FROM UNDER VERDICT: 7/10

The more up-tempo of two ballads, but still stock-pile the tissues as its Brit’s answer to Daniel Bedingfield’s If You’re Not The One. A pain-driven ditty about an unsalvageable relationship.

KILL THE LIGHTS VERDICT: 10/10

An introduction announces Britters as the “Queen Of Pop”. This is a follow-on from previous single Piece Of Me, where she gets revenge on paps. Brit teases: “Make sure you catch me on my good side – pick one.” This attitude-infused floor-twirler has serious single potential.

SHATTERED GLASS VERDICT: 8/10

Another cheating fella, another track that sees more questions being asked than Mastermind. Brit does her best bunny-boiler impressions declaring: “My face is going to haunt you all the time.” Featuring an *NSYNC Pop undercurrent, the vocals break up towards the end thanks to a knob-twiddling wizard.

IF YOU SEEK AMY VERDICT: 10/10

This is a Brit naughty. Prepare for a cold shower as this is her raunchiest tune yet. Featuring big “la la” hooks as an intro, it’s reminiscent of Pink’s So What. A carnival-esque chorus features cheeky giggles and naughty wordplay.

UNUSUAL YOU VERDICT: 6/10

A mid-tempo disco track about angels.

BLUR VERDICT: 7/10

A saucy tale of trying to remember a night of passion.

MMM PAPI VERDICT: 10/10

A retro feel and Gwen Stefani-like rap segments equals yet another killer tune. Brit squeals her love for a sugar daddy while slowing the rhythm down to bizarrely declare: “I’m mammi/And that makes you Papi/And that makes us luvvi.”

MANNEQUIN VERDICT 7/10

Every male fantasy is fulfiled when Britney transforms into a real-life Barbie to demand you wash and dress her. Drops down to an instrumental section midway.

LACE AND LEATHER VERDICT: 8/10

This is vintage Madonna and name-checking red lips and cotton candy kisses ensures it’s hotter than Brit’s Oops I Did It Again catsuit.

MY BABY VERDICT 8/10

The ode to sons Jayden and Sean is an eye-watering morsel. Sweet vocals trill over ivory-tinkling and acoustic guitar as Britney sings about: “Precious love”. Sob.

RADAR VERDICT 9/10

Electro number featured on Blackout and, like chocolate pud, is a delicious second helping.

Britney Takes Back Ex Hubby As Butler!

Britney Spears has put her 55-hour former hubby Jason Alexander on the pay roll to be her butler, according to pals.

The pop icon, who has stunned all with her gradual return to stability, offered the job to her childhood pal after learning that he had squandered the 300,000 divorce settlement paid by the singer.

The 26-year-old is trying to help out buddy Jason who has been struggling with his acting and singer career and lived in a grimy flat since the couple split four years ago, according to her close friend.

“She’s going to give Jason all the support she can and make sure he has a decent income so he can keep his dreams alive,” the Daily Star quoted the friend as saying.

The pop princess, whose Las Vegas marriage to Jason ended in less than three days, is said to be happier with ‘the butler’ around.

The friend said: “He’s proving to be a real tonic for her.”

Britney To Bare All

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

Britney Spears is set to tell all about her crazy life in a shock new telly show.

The MTV documentary will lift the lid on her battle with mental illness and her chaotic family life.

But insiders fear it could turn into “car crash television”.

Britney, 26, has shocked fans with her raunchy antics, including shaving her head, battering a car with an umbrella and even having a lesbian romp in a pool with former PA Shannon Funk.

She has also spent two spells in rehab, and her parents are said to be “furious” over her TV plans. But Brit has ignored pleas from them and ex-husband Kevin Federline, 30, to snub the show.

A source said: “Britney’s dad is furious. He thinks it’s a big mistake and doesn’t want anything to do with it. “But Britney thinks it will help her custody battle for her two sons.”

Mum Lynne, 53, is also said to be trying to talk her out of appearing in the show.

It has even been claimed that Britney is using it to hit back at her mother’s book before it comes out. The singer is said to fear it will expose their rocky relationship and wants to make sure she gets her own side of the story across.

Another pal added: “This could turn out to be the biggest car crash television moment of all time.”

A spokeswoman for Britney declined to comment on the tell-all film.

MTV in London said they were not aware of the project.
