The following italicized article is from www.exminer.com:A survey from Orange County’s Equality Project asked 1,000 gay men all over Southern California who is the greatest Gay icon. Britney Spears won the poll with 31 percent of the vote. “Britney Spears is a genuine Gay icon, says Equality Project’s Joel Waddell. She is genuine in her affection for us and doesn’t need to exploit us as a marketing tool like some other current Madonna-like icon."
Speaking of Madonna, she came in second with 25 percent of the vote. “When Madonna puts out a new album, she will be on top again. Madonna is the greatest icon the Gay community has ever had,” says Mr. Waddell. He isn’t happy with the fact Lady Gaga came in third with 22 percent of the vote.
“Lady Gaga is a talentless scam artist. She is to the Gay community what Hitler was to Germany—completely destructive. He is a little bit more enthusiastic about Katy Perry, who earned 12 percent of the vote. Other names mentioned include Perez Hilton, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Cher.Source: The Examiner
According to The Examiner, Britney will be performing at this year's Teen Choice Awards.What do you think?Personally, I'm not getting my hopes up given that the TCA's are on August 1st which would mean that a new single would have to be announced very shortly and I just don't see that happening.
The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:
The Circus Tour staring Britney Spears was a theatrical performance unlike many other concerts. On Sunday August 30, 2009 the tour was showcased in Philadelphia, PA. The Big Apple Circus was a major contributor to the show that needed over 250 crew members, including 50 of them being dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats, 60 tons of equipment and 34 trucks to carry the gear. The show most importantly included the one and only Britney Spears. The night at the Wachovia Center briefly included Kristina DeBarge and One Call as the opening acts.
The first singer Kristina DeBarge opened up the show performing four songs from her debut album Exposed. For a 19 year old that is new to the industry, she handled herself very well in front of a large audience on such a large stage. She made sure to perform towards all four sides of the arena during her set. Also onstage with her were four dancers. She was choreographed in the steps she took and the dancers worked well around her. She ended her night performing her first single, “Goodbye.”
The next performance to hit the stage was a boy band that featured members that have previously been involved in the music industry. Chris Moy and Jose Bordonada were formal members of the MTV series “Making Menudo,” and Justin Thorne was a member of NLT. The fourth member of the band is AG Gamlieli. They also performed a very quick set. The four members started singing while sitting on wooden stools, but soon turned to signing and dancing. After both opening performances, which only took 20 minutes, fans were informed by a countdown clock that they were less then 30 minutes away from the start of the Circus.
As the Circus began, it started like no one would have predicted. It did not start with the music of Britney Spears playing, but instead the stage was filled with circus performers from the Big Apple Circus. The first set of performers spun and juggled metal fence pieces and metal piped cubes. Then a trampoline act followed. There were two people on the trampoline, a full sized male, and a female legless performer. Following the trampoline act was a balance beam performance like none other. The beam was bendable, and it acted as a way for the two men on each side to bend down and launch the female performer into the air to while she somersaulted and twisted, only to land back on the spring like beam.
It then became time for the main attraction. Britney Spears was lowered into the Circus by means of a ring she stood in as it came down to the floor from the rafters. She wore a gold sequined outfit and performed the song “Circus,” as her opener. The 2007 MTV VMA's she performed and got criticized for has long been forgotten after seeing the way she moved during the entire show. During the song “Piece of Me” Spears climbed into a caged cart and was pulled around stage by her dancers. While in the cage, she moved in a very sexual and seductive way, much like she did for the rest of the night.
With thousands of eyes watching her, Spears needed to perform a show that everyone would remember. Of course all the theatrical and real circus performances that took place before she hit the stage as well as during her costume changes would leave an image to be remembered forever. But what this night really came down to is what songs Spears would perform and how would the crowd remember her for those numbers.
For most performers that have released six studio albums, most of the songs that they play are hit singles from older albums along with some of the songs from their newly released album. Spears however decided to throw in some older songs that never made it as singles. Some of these songs included “Freakshow,” “Get Naked (I Got a Plan)” and “Ooh Ooh Baby.”
This does not mean Spears forgot her singles, as she included “Toxic,” “Break The Ice” and “If U Seek Amy.” During “If U Seek Amy,” Spears wore silver and black lingerie with a pink shawl. She also grabbed a fake pink hammer as the song came to an end. After all the dancers left the stage but four of them, she bopped each of them on their head knocking them down the holes that were open on the stage.
Speaking of her lingerie, many people also come to see Spears perform to see what outfits she would be dressed in. Some of her sexy outfits included a blue-green genie outfit, a white and black sequined bikini top with black boy shorts, and a silver one piece sequined garment.
Towards the end of the show Spears slipped into a pair of red pants, knee high pair of heeled black boots and a black top the showed her midriff. She performed her first hit single “… Baby One More Time”. At the conclusion of the song she was lowered through the door of the stage floor and columns of smoke shut up from around the outline of the stage.
For her encore presentation, Spears wore a sexy police woman’s uniform and she danced through her final song of the night, “Womanizer.” Before exiting the stage for the night, Britney Spears and her dancers took a final bow from the stage as a way to say thank you.
This was surely a circus and concert that can not be compared to any other. Britney is back and in top form. She dances at the level of skill she had during her albums …Baby One More Time, and Oops!... I Did It Again. And she performed and entertained at the level she had after the albums Britney and In The Zone. Job well done to all those who made this tour come alive and you should all be very proud to be part of something so spectacular.

The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:Christina Aguilera was named the global spokesperson for the World Hunger Relief organization. Christina claims, "It’s unacceptable a child dies every six seconds somewhere around the world from hunger." She continues, "By lending my voice for World Hunger Relief, I hope to raise awareness about the issue and move people from hunger to hope."Why Christina Aguilera? Why not a current and relevant star such as Britney Spears? Christina Aguilera hasn’t had a hit in years and her brand is rapidly fading. Britney Spears has just made a major comeback and is selling out arenas all over the world. Is Christina Aguilera using this stint as a way to get back in the spotlight? What do you guys think?Source: Examiner
The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:There have been several online stories about Britney Spears supposedly offering Christina Aguilera tickets to see her concert a couple months back in Los Angeles. Since this column knows several people who work at Britney’s label, we decided to get further information and found out that the story is completely false.I guess the tabloids love to keep fights between celebrities going, real or fake. It certainly makes more interesting reading material. But for those who really care, Christina Aguilera was never offered tickets by Britney Spears and we can now all live happily ever after.

The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:On April 17 of this year, Christina Aguilera was allegedly offered front row seats to see Britney spears to which she responded, “No thanks!” and laughed very sarcastically. “Christina thinks that Britney is all style, no substance,” a source in the Christina Aguilera camp tells me. “She thinks the only reason that Britney came back is because people felt very sorry for her.” While Christina Aguilera has always been the better singer of the two, Britney Spears has been the one who had the complete package. Britney has always been the one that people care more about. When both of them kissed Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, the kiss with Britney Spears made headlines and the kiss with Christina Aguilera was barely mentioned. It sounds like Christina Aguilera is jealous of Britney. What do you guys think? Source: Examiner

The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:Submissions for the 2010 Grammy Awards won’t take place until September of 2009, but we are told that Jive Records will push for the final nail in Britney’s comeback: several Grammy nominations. Her album, Circus, was released in November of 2008 and has been one of the biggest selling albums of the past year. All her singles, “Womanizer,” “Circus,” and “If U Seek Amy,” have been major hits as well.Some may laugh at the prospect of Britney Spears winning several Grammies. However, Grammy voters not only love comebacks, but have also been more keen to dance music lately. The only categories that Britney doesn’t have a chance in are Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (for obvious reasons) and Song of the Year. She is definitely ripe for an Album of the Year nomination as well as one for Record of the Year. She’s also ripe for Best Pop Album.One year ago, everybody was saying that Britney Spears was over with. Now, Britney is filling up arenas at top ticket prices during one of the worst recessions ever. One has to not only credit Ms. Spears for curbing her destructive behavior, but her management, father, and Jive Records deserve thumbs up as well.Source: Examiner

The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:Apparently, a group of parents in Australia are upset after they bought the new Britney Spears cd, "Circus," for their young children, because it contains a song that includes hidden swearing. The song is titled "If You Seek Amy" and is actually a sound alike of "F-*-*-K Me". The line in the song that is causing all the trouble is"All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to/If You Seek Amy."Leonie Barsenbach told the Australian news website Undercover.com that she bought the album for her five and seven year old kids, and now she feels duped. "I got them the Circus album because little kids are Britney fans, but there was no warning on the album and none of the songs listed had F-*-*-K in the title. Listening to it, it is extremely blatant and offensive. I feel I have been deceived into believing that this was acceptable content for children but instead it is objectionable."Honestly, it is hard to feel too bad about someone getting "duped" after buying a Britney Spears cd for an elementary school kid. What could she possibly be expecting? Britney has not been hiding her sexual content- in fact, it has been a key part of her comeback. First, step back and consider whether you should be buying the "Circus" cd for a five year old, then we can talk about whether Britney is trying to get something over on you. Source: The Examiner
