The cast wouldn't give too much away about the upcoming episode but Jenna disclosed, "You get a little bit of the old Britney and a little bit of the new Britney."

Heather, who plays Brittany on the show, opened up about recreating the music video for "Me Against the Music" with the pop star, telling ET, "I'm still on a high. It was the coolest thing ever. It was really weird to stare at her while you're wearing the same thing she wore before and you're like, 'I wonder what she's thinking.' It was really cool."

Britney's New Interview from Paris!

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

ET is with Britney Spears in Paris as she brings her incredible "Circus" tour to the City of Lights! Read on to see what's new with the show, and where she'll be touring next!

"I'm very excited to be in Paris. It's one of the most beautiful places I've been to so far," Britney tells ET. The pop star just wrapped up a number of shows in the U.K. and next moves on to such exotic locales as Russia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Germany.

Touring with the same exact routine day after day can get tiresome, so Britney's incorporated some new material into the "Circus," repertoire.

"We have a song called 'Mannequin' that we're adding to the show, which I'm really, really excited about, so it should be interesting," she reveals. "We have to update [the show] or it gets really boring."

Britney brings the "Circus" back to North America in just a few weeks, and she says, "We've changed up a couple of numbers in the show, so that's going to make it a lot more fun for me and the dancers. It'll be cool."

ET Moves Up World Premiere of Britney Spears' 'Circus' Video!

The following Italicized article is from www.etonline.com:

Entertainment Tonight, in partnership with Jive Records, Britney Spears and her management have decided to move up the world premiere of the title video from her new album Circus from Friday, December 5, by a day to Thursday, December 4.

Fan frenzy has erupted around the globe as Britney's sixth studio album was released earlier this week on her 27th birthday. The move to shift the premiere date for the lavish "Circus" video came after a Korean Web site leaked an unauthorized version of the video on the web. Wanting her fans to experience the anxiously awaited follow-up to her hit single "Womanizer" in the bold high definition that Entertainment Tonight can provide, Ms. Spears decided to respond to the overwhelming international fan demand and move the premiere to Thursday's Entertainment Tonight.

Barry Weiss, CEO and President of Jive Records, announced that "Circus" is expected to debut in the No. 1 spot when the Billboard charts are released next week.

An extended preview clip of Britney's "Circus" will stream at ETonline.com beginning at 7AM EST on Thursday, December 4. The site is currently streaming video packages from ET's exclusive coverage inside Britney's birthday party including her birthday wish, her celebrity guests and a special welcome just for her fans on ETonline.

Lynne Spears: In Her Own Words

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

It was all across the tabloids over the last year: Britney Spears' life looked like it was spiraling out of control, and the paparazzi crush was capturing every moment of it. Then, it was announced that Britney's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn was going to have a baby. Now, Lynne Spears is talking to ET's Jann Carl about her world-famous daughters -- and the nightmare of fame -- from the inside out!

"Is it human nature to want to build somebody up so very, very big, and then actually enjoy tearing them to pieces?" asks Lynne in her emotional interview, saying of Britney, "I want her to remember back when she was the happiest person she could be, and be that person. She's almost there now."

Lynne says her daughter Jamie Lynn broke the news to her that she was pregnant by writing her a note. "I blew it," she says about her reaction -- after first thinking it was a joke -- but then faced the challenge head-on: "We got the biggest blessing through the toughest time."

Lynne's new book, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, is on bookshelves now. It's a mother's story of keeping her faith and keeping her family together. Lynne also gets candid about both her successes and her failures. Did the whirlwind of fame distract her from listening to her mother's intuition?

"I didn't feel very strong," she says. "All I knew was at certain points I had to do what I had to do."

With the opening words, "If you're looking for parenting advice, you've opened the wrong book," Through the Storm is clearly not a collection of advice or a guide to making your kids famous. Instead, it tracks the incredible story of how a mother's encouragement for her children's dreams turned into a nightmare of paparazzi, tabloid exploitation and, for a heartbreaking stretch, a time where she lost the family she loved -- all written while it was all happening.

"I'm more or less a cheerleader," she says. "Did I ever manage my children? No. Did I ever take any percentages of anything they ever did? No, I did not. I really don't know how to do these things."

Ultimately, after all her family's been through, she says, "I just pray for smoother sailing."

First Interview: Britney Spears on Her Boys

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

Britney Spears opened up to the media for the first time in two years in a candid interview in which she talks about her road to recovery and life today with her sons. On tonight's ET, we have a sneak peek of the OK! magazine cover story that is on newsstands this week.

"When I have my children, I'll get up and make them pancakes," she tells OK!, which has photographs of Britney's refrigerator covered with artwork done by her sons. But it wasn't always happy times.

Britney's fall from grace was a big one: Her divorce from Kevin Federline, her custody battles over sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, as well as the many painful events -- such as shaving her head and being rushed to the hospital -- caught by the glaring lights of the paparazzi.

The road back for the pop star began when her father was named co-conservator of his daughter's estate, and things have been looking up ever since. Britney has her sons on Mondays, Wednesdays and overnight on Fridays -- and her father Jamie Spears is with her at all times when she has the boys. Otherwise, he has his own home in Santa Monica.

"Right now, everything is okay," Jamie says. "I just don't know what six months from now will bring, or three months. But as it is right now, the conservatorship is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. This is the way I live, one day at a time."

Today, Britney is healthy and has returned to work. Her appearances on "How I Met Your Mother" were ratings bonanzas for the CBS series, she is back in the recording studio working on her next album, and she took time out to visit her family -- and meet her niece -- in Louisiana.

"That was special, but it was also strange because she's always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling. I was shocked a little bit. But it was really cool, and she was happy. When she got to the hospital, we all thought it was going to be an all-day thing, and instead, the baby just sort of popped out. Okay, we're happy now!"
