Britney Spears is looking super hot.
How do I know this? Because last night I was among just a handful of people invited to watch the pop princess' first—and very private—dress rehearsal of her upcoming Femme Fatale tour.
Before I give ya some of the highlights, just let me say that if you don't have tickets yet, run and get them now.
The show opens with a video of Spears in a sparkly leotard (one of many skimpy outfits that shows off her back-in-shape bod) being chased by cops through an industrial landscape. And yes, Britney's brandishing a gun. Think Salt meets Charlie's Angels.
The song list includes more than—ready for this?—20 songs. She starts with "Hold It Against Me," followed by, well, everything, including "…Baby One More Time," "I'm a Slave 4 U," "Toxic," "Gimme More," "(Drop Dead) Beautiful," "Big Fat Bass" and "Till The World Ends."
Spears covers Madonna's "Burning Up" while straddling a gigantic electric guitar. She sings Rihanna's "S&M" in a flamboyant motorcycle gear (denim, leather, studs, etc.).
Footage of a slightly older, grizzly faced fellow in what appears to be some sort of Cold War radio transmission bunker is shown throughout the show. He says things like, "Bring your best game because tonight you and I are dancing a vicious dance," and asks, "What man are you bringing to his knees?"
Other video highlights include shots of completely naked men (just butts—no full-frontal, people!) and her male dancers in what can only be described as S&M leather gear and toys, including facemasks and nipple clamps.
All of her dancers—male and female—help keep the energy (a lot of it sexual!) going with gyrations, contortions, the aforementioned nakedness and lots of sweating. Special shout-out to Marco Da Silva—holy ridiculousness of tattooed muscles!
During "I Wanna Go," a bunch of us were brought on stage to dance with Britney. Yes, I can say I danced on a stage with Britney Spears! And so can my pals from Pink is the New Blog, BreatheHeavy.com, Just Jared and Ellen K. from Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM morning show, among others. Who else was there? Spears' hottie boyfriend Jason Trawick (he even got on stage during "How I Roll" to be tied up and straddled by his girlfriend), dad Jamie and Brit's two adorable sons, Sean and Jaden.
The finale is insane. I won't tell you exactly what happens, but it includes big, white angel wings.
There's so much more to see and hear. Spears sings, dances and gives you some of her best work ever. Like I said, get your tickets now!Source: E! Online
Britney Spears sure knows how to welcome home the troops.
About a month ago, some very clever Marines posted a video on YouTube of themselves lip-syncing to the pop star's recent hit "Hold It Against Me."
How's Brit returning the love? Read on to find out...
I can exclusively reveal that Spears has invited the troops to her upcoming Femme Fatale tour.
"I was so moved by the 'Hold It Against Me' video that the Marines of HMLA-169 and VMM-266 REIN made in Afghanistan," Spears tells me. "It warmed my heart to see our nation's soldiers enjoying themselves to my music. I am honored to have them as guests at my concert this summer. I hope they like my show as much as I loved theirs."
I'm told that Spears also sent care packages to the troops along with handwritten notes.
Shortly, after the video hit the web, Spears tweeted, "I am in LOVE with this. I always knew our soldiers were fierce! Thanks fore everything you guys do."

After rockin' the stage with Lil' Wayne for the "I'm Still Music" tour at Staples Center in Los Angeles last night, Nicki Minaj jet to host her after party at The Factory in West Hollywood.
Britney Spears decided to drop in on her Femme Fatale tourmate's shindig, and fans began hyperventilating to the point that bouncers needed to carry them out!
A source tells us, "[It] was complete pandemonium. Six people were carried out after hyperventilating. They literally fainted when Britney walked onto the stage where Nicki was hanging."
For those still conscious, their goal was to try and reach Britney.
"People were crowd surfing to get to the stage. Screams were so loud for Nicki and Brit you couldn't hear the music. Bouncers couldn't hold the crowd back."
Nicki showed up around 12:30 a.m. and hung out with her crew, taking a break from performing. Meanwhile, Britney showed up closer to 1 a.m. with boyfriend, Jason Trawick, but stayed for 30 minutes.

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Onetime BFFs Britney Spears and Paris Hilton were randomly reunited last night when they both turned up at the same dinner party.
The blonde babes were on hand at Palihouse in West Hollywood for a birthday party, but Brit actually came as a guest of her boyfriend Jason Trawick.
And it turns out Brit and P have more in common than their party past...They also share Brit's man! How so?
Jason is Paris' agent and long-time friend.
And despite their rough patch right before Brit's birthday, the twosome seemed happier than ever. "You can tell that she and Jason are really in love," a source tells me, "He is a great guy and they make a great couple."
Britney, who wasn't drinking, stuck by Jason's side for the most part during the intimate 20-person party.
"Britney was shy with most of the people there. But she and Paris hugged and talked for awhile," the source says.
It was a big deal for the pop star to attend the low-key dinner, according to an insider.
"Britney hardly ever goes out so it was a major undertaking for her security," they tell me, "Her team came over yesterday afternoon and scoped it out to make sure everything was safe."
Also on hand was Ryan Phillippe sans Amanda Seyfried. Instead, the actor attended with two of his male friends.
Clearly, Brit and Paris have calmed down since their wild times with Lindsay Lohan back in the day, as they both called it an early night. Brit departed with Jason. Paris, who'd been shooting her Oxygen series with Brooke Mueller and her sister Nicky at Palihouse before the party started, turned in before midnight.
Maybe this reformed twosome can get together with LL for game night soon?Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Remember how Heather Morris got flowers from Britney Spears after portraying her on Glee? And then said she was planning to send Brit-Brit back a homemade gift?
Well, I caught up with Heather today to find out just what present she gave Brit and what other major project she just launched:
"I made her a cheesy mug with our picture on it from the set," she told via phone from NYC today. "There was an arrangement in it, too."
But has she gotten any feedback from Brit on the gift?
"No, I haven't heard from her yet," she told me.Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:I already told you that Britney Spears might be getting "freaky" on her upcoming—and mucho anticipated—album.
How's that coming along? Well, I just got word that her team recently put together a "writing camp" of top music producers and writers. They were apparently flown to Dallas for a few days to brainstorm and collaborate on new songs for Spears...
"I know that 'Usual You' off the last album [Circus] has been tossed around like, 'Use this as kind of a jumping off point,' " OneRepublic frontman and über-hitmaker Ryan Tedder told me last night at Ralph Lauren's Big Pony Collection fragrance launch event at the Chateau Marmont hotel.
Even though Tedder—who's produced megatracks for superstars like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Whitney Houston, Leona Lewis and Kelly Clarkson—didn't take part in the writer's camp, he says Spears producer Max Martin is considering a song he produced with Dan Black.
"It's mind-bendy and trippy," Tedder said, adding, "I applaud the label for saying, 'We're not going to do what's always been done.' I think Britney's such an innovator. She needs to be in the forefront, you know what I mean? You can't come out with something sounding like someone else."Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney Spears may be master of her own domain again by the end of the year.
While lawyers kept mum on the details after spending more than two hours in judge's chambers this afternoon, a source close to the Circus attraction tells E! News that the court is gearing up to end Britney's conservatorship, in place since February 2008.
"Everyone involved believes she has the necessary proof that she is competent to be in charge of her affairs," says the source, and "she's more than ready."
But while the consensus appears to be that the 28-year-old divorced mother of two deserves to hold her own purse strings once again, will...er...that new tawdry lawsuit hurt her chances?
"One has nothing to do with the other," attorney Andrew Wallet, who's been overseeing Britney's affairs along with her dad Jamie Spears, tells E! News, referring to the sexual harassment suit filed by Britney's former bodyguard, who also claimed he witnessed her being abusive to her children.
Spears' legal camp has thumbed its nose at the allegations, and today conservatorship attorney Geraldine Wyle told E! that the singer is doing extremely well. (Neither Britney nor her pops was in court today.)
"She went on a wonderful vacation and is doing great things with her kids," Wyle says.
Britney & Co. celebrated 4-year-old Jayden's and 5-year-old Sean's birthdays at Disneyland over the weekend.
"I can't believe my boys are getting so big!" she tweeted yesterday.
As far as todays' closed hearing went, Britney's court-appointed lawyer Samuel Ingham did confirm that he requested permission for the pop star's bond holdings to be reduced from $25 million to $5 million.
The assets of the conservatorship are stable, he explained, but all money matters, including fund transfers between accounts, require the court's approval. L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz has been overseeing the case since Day 1.
Speaking of money matters, Britney's Beverly Hills home, where all the ambulance-and-cop craziness went down in '08, is still on the market after more than two years. The asking price has dropped more than $3 million since and now all that luxe lore can be yours for $4.85 million.
Another hearing to address more Spears-centric issues was set for Sept. 30.Source: E! Online

And we're not talking about the pop princess' upcoming Glee episode. We are very happy to report...
Brit is back in the studio making some new music. Uber-producer Sean Garrett tells us he's set to reunite with Spears on a song or two. He co-produced and sang on "Toy Soldier" from her 2007 album, Blackout.
"I'm going into the studio with her," Garrett told us yesterday at the VMAs. "I love Britney. I want to help her grow. I want to do stuff that's going to be able to travel around the world."
Spears' last album, Circus, was released in November 2008 and was followed by a world tour. "I'm glad to see her back," Garrett said. "I really would like to get into her mind and find out what loving Britney is all about."
He added with a very big smile, "It could get a little freaky."Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:We already know where one former Britney Spears bodyguard stands on her mothering acumen—or lack thereof.
Now, in an exclusive interview with E! News, another former protector of the pop tart has a strikingly different account of Spears' mommying prowess.
"In our time with Britney, we've never seen anything in a negative sense," Mark Chinapen, who worked for the pop star in 2007-08, tells E! News.
Chinapen says that he often saw Spears with her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and that he never saw anything as described in the lawsuit filed this week by former bodyguard Fernando Flores, who claimed to have seen Spears "savagely hit" one of her boys.
"If there was an issue, we would have said something to her or authorities when it came to the kids," says Chinapen, CEO of Big Time Affairs, who has also provided security for Carmen Electra and Lindsay Lohan. "But we never saw anything negative."
Chinapen says that during his tenure the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services conducted an investigation into alleged abuse, "but at the end of the day, there was no issue. They came, were happy with the results, and walked away."
Chinapen says that his time with Spears was relatively calm—nothing like the erratic, harassing behavoir Flores accused the singer of.
"It was very normal. Starbucks runs, going for lunch, driving, shopping, buying clothes, and going out to events. That's it," Chinapen says.
"Britney is one of those people that likes to conduct her own business and go around and do her thing around town. She's not looking for someone to be in her face 24/7, just someone to assist when they're needed."
Adds Chinapen of life as a celebrity bodyguard, "You're taking care of someone, protecting them from the outsiders, whether it be the paparazzi or a fan that is getting too close, and that's it. There's nothing bigger than that."Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney Spears may be a pop princess, but "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy felt as if the president had stopped by the set during Spears' recent visit to William McKinley High. Murphy dished about what went down when the singer filmed her cameo for the "Britney/Brittany" episode.
"It was literally like the President had come," Murphy told E! Online. "We all had to wear wristbands. I couldn't get into my own sets at one point, which I thought was hilarious."
Murphy thought Spears was moved by the cast's admiration for her. "I think she was really impressed about how so many kids of the show do what they do because they grew up wanting to be Britney Spears," he said. "She was really sweet with them. We had a number with a bunch of eight-year-old dancers in the show and she spent a lot of time talking to them, and they did the number for her ... She was so sweet, she's great with kids, she was so awesome."
But security remained tight, Murphy said, because "everybody was sort of trying to get into the set and find out what the hell she's doing in the episode." What Spears will be doing on the show is still unknown, but a picture the singer tweeted from the set suggests that she may be playing some sort of receptionist.
Aside from hanging with the pop princess on set, the "Glee" creator also got to hear some of Spears' new material. "I got to hear some of the music she's putting out later this fall or early next year," Murphy said. "It's really a great return to form for her; the songs are amazing so I feel she's riding the crest."
And while there has been talk of Madonna tunes blaring the speaker intercoms once again, Murphy has also revealed that Britney "probably" will reprise her cameo spot on "Glee" episodes.
Last week, the singer tweeted photos of herself on set alongside Murphy and castmember Heather Morris. Posing in front of a set that looked similar to the singer's "Me Against the Music" video backdrop, Spears channeled the Madonna look that was donned in their 2003 collaboration. Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Having Britney on set was like "having the President," according to Murphy, who reveals he couldn't even get on his own set at one point when Ms. Spears on shooting her guest spot! Security was so tight with wristbands, etc. that even the cast and producers had to face interrogation. Jane Lynch says she was at Disneyland that day because they "probably wouldn't have let me on anyway."Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:For all the chatter about how things are going with boyfriend Jason Trawick, is the most tumultuous relationship for Britney Spears the one she has with her hairstylist?
That’s what E! Online claims.
“Brit-Brit’s a serial stylist switcher because management won’t let her commit to just one,” reports the site.
Wait, what?
“They don’t want anyone getting close to her,” a so-called “source” whispers to the E! gang. “They won’t use anyone who has done her hair in the past and won’t let any current stylist see her more then (sic) three times.”
So the people around Britney Spears are terrified that the person who does her hair will get too “close” to her? And, what, exactly? Brainwash her? Gain her trust and then hold her extensions for ransom?
The article doesn’t really explain why Spears would be subject to such a bizarre policy… probably because there isn’t any such policy.
“That’s insane,” a source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop regarding the supposed stylist rule.
As for why Spears has had a number of different hairdressers over the years, our insider points out that the pop star’s demanding schedule often means that a previously used stylist is unavailable, leading to a session with someone new she likes, and that the cycle just repeats.
Sounds like this rumor is shear nonsense.Source: Gossip Cop
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Can anyone remember the last time Britney Spears was red-carpet ready? You know, without a ratty weave, missing bra or Frappuccino in hand? Us neither. But here's some good news: We may all be in for a treat, because rumor has it Brit-Brit is prepping for a return to the stylish scene.
And she's got two very special dates:
Her kiddos!
We're hearing the Spears clan may be stepping out for the Toy Story 3 premiere Sunday at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles.
The same uber-chic style chick who tipped us off to Sandy Bullock's MTV Movie Awards return, dishes that Britters has been checking out some oh-so-stylish outfits for the event (though there's no word whether the tykes will don matching tuxes, we assume they'll be in tow to the PG premiere).
Problem is, we hear stylists are a bit worried that at least one of the dresses Brit is considering may be too classy for the notorious Miss Spears.
The fab frock in question is a peach, chiffon couture dress with a high neck and elegant beading. Not exactly BS's usual style, and the people clothing her wonder if it's maybe "too formal." Translation: They're secretly worried she'll ruin it.
Have a little faith in the broad! We're all about changing up the look.
It's an outing with her babies, after all. A leather mini might be too sexy for toys-lovin' toddlers.Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:
Britney Spears made a rare social appearance Saturday night at Phil Maloof's birthday party at Drai's Hollywood.
Britney arrived around 9 p.m. with a handsome, dark-haired guy who was NOT her on-again-off-again boyfriend and former agent Jason Trawick. She spent most of the time on a couch chatting with Maloof, a longtime friend and part owner of Palms Casino in Vegas.
The identity of the gentleman who was with her is unknown but he may have been a bodyguard.
"She stayed for about an hour and had fun," says a party source, who didn't witness anything romantic between Britney and her mystery male. "She didn't mention Jason."
Also at the party (but arriving separately): her father, Jamie.
The VIP bash, held in Victor Drai's private lounge on the first floor, was sponsored by Maloof's new Black Star Beer, but our sources say Britney didn't have any.
"She was mellow but in a good mood," says a source. "She never would drink in front of her dad."Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com: We all know images of our favorite celebrities are manipulated beyond belief, (which always makes seeing the unretouched version pretty satisfying). So, behold: Britney Spears before the Candie's Photoshoppers made her look absolutely perfect.
According to the Daily Mail, Brit released the images herself in an "extraordinary move to highlight the pressure exerted on women to look perfect." While that sounds like something Brit's BS Alerts might refute if it weren't so nice-sounding, the splits still have that effect.
Britney's legs, waist and butt are all rendered slimmer—even though she's looking pretty good in the before shots. Surprising? Not so much, but nice to know anyway!Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:
Britney Spears gave her fans a big surprise this weekend.
The pop princess made an unscheduled appearance at the closing event of the White Party, Jeffrey Sanker's annual weekend-long gay festival in Palm Springs, Calif. I'm told she was there because she and one of yesterday's performers, Agnes, share the same manager, Larry Rudolph.
Spears was treated like royalty…
I'm told she held court over the party from a $20,000 viewing platform that was built just for her. She was protected by at least a dozen security guys who did their best to shoo away any overzealous fans trying to snap pics (sorry, Brit, but photos hit the web as soon as you hit the party).
"At the White Party in Palm Springs," Spears tweeted. "Sooooo fun!!! About to check out Agnes."
No word on what Spears thought of another performer on the bill—Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak.
The reality star "sang" her dance single, "Tardy for the Party," in what appeared to be a black skirt and bustier inspired by 1980s Madonna. She was joined onstage by her collaborator and fellow Housewife Kandi Burruss and a gaggle of hot, muscled go-go boys.

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney watchers can breathe easy.
Despite reports that Spears was "rushed" to the hospital today, her rep tells E! News she was simply there for a routine checkup.
"Everything is fine," says Spears' rep. "Britney is there for an annual physical."
Photogs claimed Brit-Brit was accompanied to UCLA Medical Center's Mattel Children's Hospital earlier today by two cars and a police escort.
And Perez Hilton had the Twitter world in a tizzy when he posted: "I'm hearing that @BritneySpears is in the emergency room right now. Hope it's nothing major and everything is okay! Maybe her kids?"
Imagine that, the blogosphere blowing something out of proportion.Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Sounds like Britney Spears had herself a very happy birthday indeed!
The singer, who turned 28 yesterday, received a shiny new white BMW convertible with a ribbon on it and balloons inside during a party at her Calabasas home.
Birthday girl Brit was in good spirits, a source tell E! News. She was dressed sexily, in a blue velvet blazer, shorts and fishnet stockings.
She had a cake presented to her around 10 p.m., but there was no champagne toast, since no alcohol was served at the soiree, the insider tells us.
"It was really mellow," says the source.
So who was on hand to help her celebrate?
BF Jason Trawick (who went shopping with her earlier), dad Jamie, her two boys, manager Larry Rudolph, as well as some backup dancers and friends.
If you didn't get an invite, don't feel bad. Less than 20 people attended.
No word on where her mom and sister were.Source: E! Online
The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:Britney Spears is getting a lot of heat for the subject matter of her new single. The song, which is about a threesome, is cleverly titled "3." Some people are upset that she chose this as subject matter to sing about. They think that as a mother she should draw the line. People are ridiculous. As a mother, she's gone to rehab, shaved her head and attacked some guy with an umbrella. At this point, if the worst thing she inspires one of her kids to do is have sex with a couple of people at once, she should get an award. At the end of the day a threesome is really just a sensible way to multitask.Source: E! Online
