Yesterday’s Leak Of Britney Spears’s New Single Was Unauthorized, Y’all

Yesterday morning we got to hear a short, low quality clip of Britney Spears’s new single Womanizer (which is due to be released to radio on September 22 and will be the lead single off her new album Circus, set for release on December 2) but we have since learned that the leak was totally unauthorized. Jive Records released a statement saying that the leaked clip was a “rough mix” of the song that was recorded over the telephone and then illegally leaked online by DJ Adam Sevalia of 107.5 The River. Sevalia was ordered to and has taken down the clip and now finds himself and/or his employer responsible to pay out of pocket damages to Jive Records for leaking the snippet:

Gossip blogs and celebrity Web sites lit up Friday (September 19) when a 37-second, static-filled snippet of the first single from Britney Spears’ upcoming album, Circus, was briefly posted on a radio station’s Web site before being removed. The snippet of disco-inflected track, called “Womanizer,” was briefly posted on the Web site of Nashville radio station 107.5-FM The River before being taken down, although at press time the clip could still be found elsewhere online. Based on the brief snippet, the Outsyders-produced song is a bouncy dance track with a sing-song chorus that frequently repeats the title; Britney coos about a possible lover who has a reputation of being a womanizer. According to Britney’s label, the station obtained the snippet by recording a phone call in which a radio rep played a rough mix of the song for people at the station — which seems likely, judging by the horrendous sound quality of the clip. At the label’s request, the station removed the clip from its Web site … Along with the Outsyders, collaborators on the album include Keri Hilson, Sean Garrett, Rodney Jerkins, Lil Jon, Nate “Danjahandz” Hills (who helmed “Gimme More”) and Dr. Luke (who wrote and produced the album’s title track), Guy Sigsworth, Bloodshy & Avant (who produced past hits “Toxic” and the big VMA winner “Piece of Me”) and Max Martin (who wrote “… Baby One More Time” and “Oops! … I Did It Again”).

According to sources, the DJ who did the leaking is now in hot water with both Jive Records and his radio station employer:

107.5 The River radio station presenter Adam Sevalia will have to open up his wallet to Britney. Well, Not literally. The presenter, who earlier today leaked 40 seconds of Britney Spears upcoming new single Womanizer, is suspended from the radio station for illegally playing the track during his show.According to reports, only KIIS and Z100 radio stations have the right to play the track on September 22nd., As for the other U.S. radio stations they’ll only be able to play the track on October 7th 2008. 107.5 The River radio station will have to pay a US$250,000 charge to JIVE Records for leaking the song.

Yikes! Well, this guy really wanted all the glory for being the first person to leak the track and he got more than he prolly bargained for. I’m glad to hear that the clip we heard was a rough mix cuz the quality really wasn’t all that great. We will all be able to hear the track in all its pristine glory on Monday when it debuts for reals on Z100 and KIIS FM.

Britney: "I Wanted To Experiment," Records 30 Tracks

If you're wondering what Spears has been up to this summer, the answer is: nothing scandalous. During the past four months, Spears has recorded some 30 tracks for her sixth studio album. "I wanted to experiment with producers I haven't worked with much before, like the Underdogs, who have a Timbaland kind of sound," says Spears from an L.A. studio where pop craftsmen like Dr. Luke ("I Kissed a Girl") and Danja teamed up with Spears for her comeback disc. Among the contenders are the thickly layered bump-and-grind of "Circus" and "Womanizer," produced by the Atlanta team the Outsyders. "I came into the studio because I had some free time," she says. "But once I started working, I was like, 'This is cool!' It just happened."

Pretty Britney's Perfect Pins

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

HER RECOVERY is near completion, so now we can all reap the benefits of BRITNEY SPEARS looking fit again.

The pop princess has been putting in the hours at the gym and dance studio over the past few months and her hard work is clearly paying off.

Here she is leaving the Mondrian Hotel in LA remising the Britney of old, looking in cracking shape - especially her toned legs.

It's a far cry from the dishevelled, underwear-less appearance we got so used to seeing not so long ago.

Court

But memories of her breakdown were rekindled yesterday when it is was confirmed she will have to appear in court next month to face a driving charge.

The singer is accused of not having a valid California driver's licence when she bumped into another vehicle in an LA car park in August last year.

However her lawyer, MICHAEL FLANAGAN, says Britney was driving with a Louisiana licence that was valid because she owns homes in that state.

The court date has been set for October 15.

But Spears’ attorney Michael Flanagan told press he’s not too worried. “Ninety percent of my experience in court [with this charge] is, once you get the license corrected, they dismiss the case. If you don’t, it’s a $321 fine. Neither option has been given to Britney. This girl has come a long way in the last year, she’s a solid citizen. Let’s treat her as normal.”

Someone Actually Heard Brit’s Song

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

Okay…someone actually heard the Britney single. Yes. It freaking exists. I was not lying to you. My sources have revealed that the song is almost done, but the producers are avoiding talking to anyone. Sadly, this means me. But I do have an inside track and my source has revealed the following…

Much like the hottest stuff out right now, like Metro Station, Katy Perry, Ne-Yo, Estelle, her record has a very retro-ish dance-like feel. Fast-paced, up-tempo, and catchy. Less synth [synthesizer] in her voice, which is a welcome change. It reminds me of the B-side remix of “Me Against the Music” she did with Madonna…that may be too obscure for people to remember. What I will say, is that unlike the last record, she’s no longer the mess that she was…Hollywood loves a comeback, so look for this one to be good for her resurgence.

'Britney Spears' Good Girl Image Was A Lie'

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

During Britney Spears' early career her people pushed the girl-next-door image in the hopes of covering her true wild-child nature, reports a U.S. publication.

According to the pop conspiracy theory, the pop princess is said to have led a double life as the true Britney and her public image as a sickly-sweet superstar.

A family insider tells Life & Style, “From early on, Britney’s team had one agenda: promoting the image of Britney as a good Southern girl. But her reality was a completely different story.”

Her wholesome image has been tarnished in recent years with divorce, questionable parenting skills and mental breakdowns.

Britney Searches For ‘Womanizer’ Dancers

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

Fresh off a stellar appearance at the 2008 MTV VMAs, Britney Spears is hunting for dancers to help her repeat another possible sweep at next year’s festivities.

The pop star was hard at work Wednesday at the International Dance Academy in Hollywood, hunting for dancers for the video for her first single, “Womanizer,” off her upcoming new album, “Circus,” People reports.

A source told the mag the video will start shooting “very soon.”

Brit’s new album is produced by the Atlanta production team, The Outsyders, and has the pop star teaming up with producers Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Danja, Bloodshy and Avant.

“I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room,” Brit told OK! in August. “This is my best work ever.”

As for the sound of “Circus,” Britney said she is working with talented people who are helping her take her songs up to the next level.

“I think it is more urban. I’m working with producers who are just amazing,” she added. “There is this fresh new energy.”

Though Brit is on the hunt for her own video co-stars, she found time to help out the queen of pop, Madonna, guest starring in a video segment for Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour, where Brit sings an except from Madge’s “Human Nature,” while trapped in an elevator, which Brit fans will get a chance to see this fall when Madge’s tour lands in America.

“Womanizer,” is set to hit radio on September 22 and “Circus” will drop on December 2, which coincides with Brit’s 27th birthday.

Lynne Spears: VMA win gave Britney a boost

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

Lynne Spears said she couldn't have been happier that her pop star daughter Britney won three MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles last week.

While Spears was on "Inside Edition" to talk about her new memoir "Through the Storm," she revealed what it was like to watch Britney collect three of the night's top prizes, just a year after she gave a widely panned performance at the 2007 VMAs.

"This was what she needed for that boost of ego," Lynne Spears told "Inside Edition. "You know Britney has gone through a lot and there's no one that deserves it more than her. I couldn't have been happier that night and neither could she. After the first award, she called me and we were just squealing on the phone."

Spears also admitted she doesn't understand why the media attention surrounding her daughter is so intense.

"People are just drawn to her, to watch her. I don't know, I don't get it... but people are mesmerized by her," Lynne Spears said.

Britney Spears Driven to Trial

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

We're guessing this wasn't the kind of Circus Britney Spears was thinking of while plotting her vaunted comeback.

A Los Angeles judge today set an Oct. 15 trial date for Spears for driving with an invalid license, E! News confirms.

But there's a chance that trial may yet be averted, with one last preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 8 for prosecutors and the pop tart's lawyers to reach a compromise in the case.

In the latest development in Spears' never-ending legal saga stemming from last year's minor fender-bender, the 26-year-old singer's lawyers met in chambers this morning with Superior Court Judge James A. Steele and Los Angeles city prosecutors.

Afterward, L.A. city prosecutor Michael Amerian told E! News that both sides hope to reach a plea deal to avoid the spectacle of a full-blown trial.

"We're just look for a fair resolution to this. If that means going to trial, it means going to trial," he said.

The "Oops" songbird was rung up in August 2007 after a hit-and-split incident in which she dinged another vehicle while fleeing from paparazzi.

A follow-up investigation revealed that she was carrying a Louisiana license but not a California one, a no-no under state law. Authorities subsequently charged her with a misdemeanor count of driving without a vaild license.

Team Spears had hoped to persuade Steele to dismiss the charge but he rejected the motion earlier this month, paving the way for the hitmaker to stand trial.

No immediate comment from Spears' legal crew.

In happier news, Spears is expected to drop her sixth studio album, Circus, on Dec. 2, which also happens to be her 27th birthday. The first single, "Womanizer," goes out to radio stations next Tuesday.

Britney Spears Heading To Trial Over Driver’s License Case

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

Britney Spears is heading to trial over her misdemeanor driving without a license charge, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

According to a Los Angeles Superior Court press officer, a trial date for the pop star has been set for October 15.

Earlier this week, a lawyer for Spears, Michael Flanagan, told Access Hollywood he was planning to file a petition on Thursday to ask the Superior Court of Los Angeles to accept their proof the star has a valid license. He was hoping to have the case dismissed and for Britney to be able to pay a $10 fee. However, in court today, a judge set the October trial date instead.

The case stems from an August 2007 incident in which Spears was videotaped as she bumped another vehicle while parking her Mercedes-Benz. She left — without leaving a note — after looking over the damage to her car from the fender-bender.

The owner of the other vehicle later filed a police report and Spears was charged a month later with misdemeanor hit-and-run and driving without a valid license. The hit-and-run charges were dismissed in October 2007 after Spears paid an undisclosed sum to the owner.

Flanagan has said that Spears was driving with a Louisiana license that was valid because she owns homes in that state.

Following the incident, Spears passed the required test to obtain a California driver’s license.
