It's Britney B*tch

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

British paper the SUN reported this morning that singer Britney Spears has been asked to shoot a video for Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour.

MadonnaTribe News can now confirm this and exclusively give you more info on the subject, for the very first time online.

EXCLUSIVE
Singer Britney Spears has indeed been asked to shoot a video for Madonna's new tour and it's not going to be a video interlude, but a video used while Madonna is singing on stage.

The video will be directed by the one and only Steven Klein, that as previously reported here, will take care of two brand videos for the show, one for an oldie (this one) and one for a new track off Hard Candy.

The original idea behind Human Nature 2008 was to give out an updated version of the song by showing the artists, mainly troubled young hollywood stars, that are being treated as "bitches" by the world press and media, in a similar way they did with Madonna back in 1992 when she the main target of such media attentions.

But Britney is now the main star of the screen video, and while musically Human Nature 2008 originally contained spoken samples of Gimme More, now the concept has been expanded even more with samples of the track, making it longer and cooler and it can easily be described as a sort Human Nature/Gimme More mash up!

Madge asks Britney back on stage

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

MADONNA has asked troubled BRITNEY SPEARS to join her on tour — and pals hope she will give guidance to the young star.

The Queen Of Pop, 49, is set to record a video with Britney, 26, in New York tomorrow.

The footage will be broadcast on huge screens as part of Madge’s Sticky and Sweet tour, which kicks off on August 23.

Madonna has also invited Britney to appear in person on some of the world tour dates.

A source close to Britney revealed: “They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna’s show.

“And they are talking about Britney taking the stage on a few of the dates too.

“There’s no doubt that her and Britney together will spell fireworks again.

Comeback

“It’s hoped that Madonna can help Britney get back to her old self. Appearing with Madonna would really kickstart her career again. She’s been there and done it so could provide some great guidance.”

Britney and Madonna stunned fans at the MTV Music Awards in 2003 by sharing a passionate kiss.

The source added: “If anyone can mastermind a Britney comeback, it’s Madonna.

“Lots of people will be hoping there’s a repeat of the kissing incident a few years ago.”

The Toxic singer has always been a huge fan of Madge — and even converted to her Kabbalah religion. But it has been reported that their relationship cooled after Britney lost interest in the mystical Jewish faith.

The source added: “Maybe this means Britney is ready to devote to Kabbalah again as she tries to sort herself out.”

Madonna’s new tour to support album Hard Candy promises to be her sexiest yet.

She will turn 50 a week before it kicks off in Cardiff — but still plans to shock fans with a controversial stage show.

The singer will even pretend to be MUMMIFIED as part of a routine.

Britney Spears Plays Nice To Get Sex Tape

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

BRITNEY Spears has reportedly reconciled with ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib because she fears him releasing a secret sex tape.

Adnan is said to have been recently spotted driving into the gated community in the Hollywood Hills where the singer is living with her father, The Daily Mail says.

But sources claim the two haven't got back together for purely romantic reasons - Britney is apparently terrified Adnan has an explicit video of her during the couple's brief trip to Mexico in January.

"Britney's really scared that Adnan has a sex tape," an insider tells The Daily Mail's website. "She wants to get it out of his hands."

Spears, 26, and the Birmingham-raised paparazzo, 36, have barely been seen together since the troubled singer was hospitalised for psychiatric treatment on January 31.

Mel Gibson Tried To Play Matchmaker To Britney

Maybe all those dinner meetings and tropical getaways between Mel Gibson and Britney Spears had a purpose!

We're hearing that Mel attempted to hook one of his twin sons up with Brit. Edward had previously been in rehab for coke and drinking problems, so Mel probably thought they'd make the perfect pair!

He should have offered both twins. It takes a lot to get Brit's attention...like a landing strip.

Britney's Mom's Memoir Apparently Riveting

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

Publishing insiders are all a-twitter about Lynne Spears's memoir about her troubled pop-star daughter Britney.

CEO Michael Hyatt, of Christian publisher Thomas Nelson, microblogs: "I'm reading through the second draft of the Lynne Spears manuscript tonight. I am hoping to be able to approve it tomorrow. It's totally compelling." A few minutes later: " I can't put it down—and I'm not even the market!" One hour later: "Wow. People are going to be surprised. The media have it so wrong."

Britney Snubbed By Emmy

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

Good thing Britney Spears gets to spend more time with her boys these days because she won't be spending any time with TV's Golden Girl soon. Despite the fact that her appearance in the "Ten Sessions" episode of "How I Met Your Mother" was submitted for Emmy consideration, she's not on the Top 10 list of semifinalists for best guest actress in a comedy series.

Too bad. Britney Spears actually earned a few decent reviews for her performance as a receptionist in a doctor's office, including the New York Daily News, which said — with no intent of snarkiness: "Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing." TV Guide critic Matt Roush said Britney was "harmless and (dare I say) kind of cute" in the role, but "Scrubs" star Sarah Chalke — who portrayed Britney's boss — "walked away with the episode." However, Chalke failed to make this Emmy Top 10 list too.

Brit's Secret Dude

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

Sources tell TMZ Britney Spears has been secretly seeing a suitor. You'll never guess who. What the hell, we'll tell you -- it's Adnan!

Our sources say over the last few months Adnan has been getting into The Summit, the gated community where Brit lives. They have been "together," though we can't say it's still going on. We know they have been texting back and forth, at times complaining that Daddy Jamie is too "controlling" by trying to put the kibosh on the relationship.

But here's the deal. Daddy Jamie's job is to be controlling -- that's what a conservator does. And, sources tell us, Jamie's concern over his daughter seeing Adnan is not just his opinion -- the doctors who are treating Brit have told him it would be a bad thing for Brit to hook up with the dude.

Stay tuned.

For Sale! Brit's Mickey Mouse Memorabilia

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

Long before there was "Oops, I Did It Again" and her subsequent public meltdowns, little Britney Spears was a squeaky-clean castmember of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Now you can own a piece of that innocent history. Find out how!

A Mickey Mouse Club T-shirt that Spears owned and gifted to one of her grandmothers will be up for auction later this month from New York's Gotta Have It memorabilia site. It's expected to go for as much as $20,000 because it's also signed by fellow castmembers, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Keri Russell.

Why she gave it to her grandmother, I don't know, but the future pop star signed it, "I love you grandma."

Also on the block will be one of Madonna's daily planners from the late-'80s. That should fetch between $9,000 and $11,000, according to an auction rep.

Producer Says He's Helping 'Reinvent' Britney Spears

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

Grammy-winning producer Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins says he's working with Britney Spears on some "very dancey, really up-tempo, aggressive, catchy, and hook friendly" material for the singer's next album.

"I'm trying some new things [with Spears] … I've always worked with Britney and I love working with her," Jerkins told Rap-Up TV last week at Interscope Geffen A&M's Creme of the Crop dinner in Los Angeles. "I'm try to reinvent her and reinvent myself with her project."J

erkins, who will produce two tracks on the untitled record, last worked with the pop star seven years ago on her self-titled Britney album, producing the remix for the track "Overprotected" and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll."

Despite the pop stars's rocky year – including an ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline and two hospitalizations – the producer stresses that one thing has remained the same about Spears: "She's always professional." He adds that while some artists take a long time to record a song, during a recent studio session, "[Britney] walked in at 8:30 and was out by 10:30."

As far as Spears's mind-set, Jerkins says she's, "working on the positive side." Producer Sean Garrett, who has not yet gone into the studio with Spears but is set to work on her new record, also recently told PEOPLE, "I know she's been doing a lot better … You just want to give her the opportunity to get things back together."

And it would seem that Spears is getting back on track. Over the weekend she engaged in some happy mommy time when sons Preston and Jayden had a sleep-over at her Studio City home.

Adds Jerkins: "It's about to be her time again."

Britney Spears House Hunting For ‘Quiet’ Neighborhood

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

Britney Spears is looking to move to a “more quiet” neighborhood, according to court documents released Monday.

Earlier this month, a Los Angeles court commissioner granted Britney’s father, Jamie Spears, the power to sell her Beverly Hills home. Now, new court documents obtained by Access Hollywood reveal the reason behind the singer’s search for a new place of residence.

Britney’s current neighborhood is regularly visited by the paparazzi who sometimes station themselves outside of the neighborhoods gates, waiting to snap shots of the pop star. She hopes relocating will solve her paparazzi dilemma.

According to documents, Britney hopes to move to an area with fewer residents and a “more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood.”

In addition to seeking a quieter neighborhood, the documents go on to say Britney hopes a new home will provide her two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, with more access “to parks and recreation areas,” and “a larger backyard.”

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are scheduled to begin their custody trial August 25.
