New Britney Spears Single Hits Radio

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

"Womanizer," the first single from Britney Spears' upcoming album "Circus," hit U.S. radio outlets this morning. The track, produced by up-and-coming Atlanta team the Outsyders, has a thick, synthy sound that should lend itself to remixes and club play.

Lyrically, "Womanizer" finds Spears rebuffing the advances of man with the "swagger of champions." "Must mistake me as a sucker / To think that I would be a victim not another / Say it, play it how you wanna / But no way I'm ever gonna fall for you," she sings.

Among the other contributors on "Circus" are Dr. Luke, who wrote and produced the title cut, Danja, Guy Sigsworth, Max Martin and Bloodshy & Avant. The album's release on Dec. 2 coincides with Spears' 27th birthday.

Although its video isn't quite ready yet, "Womanizer" will play during Monday's (Sept. 29) episode of the MTV show "The Hills."

First Listen: Britney Spears, ‘Womanizer’

It’s out! Britney Spears’s first single off her upcoming new album Circus has finally been released. Radio stations across the globe began playing Womanizer early this morning and now, courtesy of Z100 here in NYC, so can you. Click below to hear Womanizer in full:
The track is hot, yo. It sounds infinitely better than the crappy leaked snippet that we got to hear last weekend. I know some folks were worried that the song might not be great after reading the lyrics but, trust me, they work in the actual song. It’s a great up-tempo song … it’s bound to be a megahit. I’ve already listened to it about 5 times, you have to hear it for yourselves. I absolutely love it, so worth the extra few days wait … I gotta know, do you love it?

'Womanizer' Lyrics

Superstar

Where you from, how's it going?

I know you

Gotta clue, what you’re doing?

You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here

But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you

Gettin' more than just re-up

Baby, you

Got all the puppets with their strings up

Fakin' like a good one, but I call 'em like I see 'em

I know what you are, what you are, baby

Womanizer

Boy, don't try to front

I know just what you are

Womanizer

Daddy-O

You got the swagger of champions

Too bad for you

Just can't find the right companion

I guess when you have one too many, makes it hard

It could be easy, but that's who you are, baby

Lollipop

Must mistake me as a sucker

To think that I

Would be a victim not another

Say it, play it how you wanna

But no way I'm ever gonna fall for you, never you, baby

Maybe if we both lived in a different world

It would be all good, and maybe I could be ya girl

But I can't 'cause we don't

Brit's New Vid Bringin' Back the Wigs!

The following italicized article is from www.extratv.warnerbros.com:

"Extra" has the inside scoop about Britney Spears' new music video shoot -- wacky wigs, new tats, and kitchens?!

Brit shot the video for her new single "Womanizer" in Downtown Los Angeles yesterday. Scenes were filmed in the Elevate Lounge and inside the kitchen of Takami Sushi and Robata Restaurant. The pop mom missed tucking in sons Sean Preston and Jayden James - when the shoot wrapped past 3:00 AM, but maybe it wasn't her night with them. Britney was escorted by manager Larry Rudolph -- and dusted off her old wig collection for a black bobbed wig with bangs.

It's rumored the recent VMA winner was looking fit. A Takami source had only positive things to say about the restored star. "Britney was in a good mood and looked fit at the shoot." The source also revealed Britney was wearing super-tight pants, possibly leather. At one point she wore a cropped tuxedo vest and sleeveless tux top.

Spears already has half a dozen tattoos, but added even more for the video! Temporary tats covered Britney's left arm. Yes, she's in the pink, and ink.

‘Womanizer’ Track & Exclusive Video Deets

Wee! I managed to get some inside scoop from the set of Britney Spears’s new music video for the single Womanizer from her upcoming new album Circus. The video was filmed on location last night at Takami Sushi & Robata in downtown LA, which is why she was seen wearing that sassy black wig in the wee hours this morning. But, before we get to the spoilery video deets, let’s talk about the track itself. Popjustice was lucky enough to get a listen to the full track and offers some info about the song as well as our first look at the promo single artwork:
Without wishing to stir up any of that boring Christina vs Britney nonsense, Britney’s new single ‘Womanizer’ is exactly what Christina is trying - and failing - to do with her own new single. We heard the track in full earlier today and while we enjoyed (what we could hear of) the clip that leaked on Monday hearing the track in full - and at full volume - throws the whole thing into a brand new realm of amazingness. Stylistically it shares a lot in common with Rachel Stevens’ ‘Some Girls’ but in Britney terms it’s a brilliantly executed mashup of ‘Toxic’ with the last album’s more insane moments like ‘Ooh Ooh Baby’. Most important thing: it doesn’t fade at the end - the beat drops out while Britney trills the main “YOU’RE A WOMANIZER OH WOMANIZER OH YOU’RE A WOMANIZER BABY” hook. This track lays a really strong foundation for the fully-realised comeback that didn’t quite happen last time and it’s hard not to think of it as a late contender for single of the year. Like we said above, it’s literally quite good.

OMG … love it. I now understand that Womanizer is FINALLY GOING TO MAKE IT TO RADIO TOMORROW, so we should be hearing it for ourselves very, very soon. After the jump, find out some deets from the Womanizer video set including some exclusive info sent to me from an insider on set last night …

People magazine reports that Brit Brit plays a sexy waitress in the video which was shot at the Takami Sushi & Robata restaurant in LA last night:
On Wednesday, the pop star – incognito in a black wig and red lipstick – filmed the video for her upcoming single, “Womanizer,” and will continue shooting Thursday, sources tell PEOPLE. Filming took place Wednesday at Elevate Lounge, a club located within Takami Sushi & Robata restaurant on the 21st floor of an office building in downtown L.A., says a source. In the video, directed by Joseph Kahn (who worked with Spears on “Toxic” and “Stronger”), she plays a waitress. Dancers arrived at the shoot Wednesday morning dressed in waiter uniforms of white dress shirts, skinny ties, and black pants or leggings.

OMG, I love it … a little bird in the know tells me that Britney was in a great mood while on set and was never too far from her loyal manager Larry Rudolph who was there to oversee the shoot. Her costume for the video consisted of fake tattoos on her left arm, super tight leather-like pants, a cropped tuxedo vest and sleeveless tuxedo shirt. The video was mostly filmed in Elevate Lounge and one scene was filmed in the Takami kitchen. I can already see it in my head now … I bet the vid is gonna have a very futuristic, Manga-feel to it. I am dying. Firstly, I’m glad to know that her wig reversion has nothing to do with her old crazy ways and everything to do with her bright new future. I am very much looking forward to seeing this video. I hope the rumors are true and Womanizer will be released to radio tomorrow (I hear very early in the day, possibly around 6AM). Let the official comeback commence!

Britney Spears Sucks on Cherries, Straddles Guy in New Video

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

Things get steamy in Britney Spears' new music video for "Womanizer."

The singer shot it yesterday at Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant and Elevate Lounge in Los Angeles.

One witness tells Usmagazine.com it features plenty of "erotic" choreography. (According to a leaked copy of the single, lyrics include: "Boy don’t try to front / I know just what gets you off.")

In one scene, Spears (who wears tight, black leather pants and fake tattoos on her arms in the video) lies on a kitchen counter and later straddles and makes out with a man dressed in business suit.

The scene continues with Spears sucking on cherries or dangling them around her mouth, all while straddling and crawling all over the man, the witness says.

All the hot and heavy action didn't seem to faze Spears.

"She seems to be all business," the witness told Us. "She'd just do one thing after another and then on to the next."

Spears worked up a sweat — her black bob wig was rubbing off on her forehead, says the witness — and an appetite.

For lunch, she ate three pieces of cheese pizza.

Britney And Ex-Husband Kevin Are 'Undergoing Couples' Counselling'

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

What a difference a year makes. Twelve months ago, Britney Spears was a lost cause - a tragic figure of fun who lost custody of her two young sons in a blaze of flashbulbs and disastrous publicity.

But the pop starlet has made a remarkable comeback in recent weeks, triumphing at the MTV Video awards, losing her excess weight - and now she is to take her rehabilitation a step further.

In a shock new move she and her ex-husband Kevin Federline are considering getting back together, it has been reported by America's National Enquirer.

The two are reportedly undergoing couples counselling to rebuild their relationship in the hope that they can raise their two sons as a family.

'Part of their therapy involves going on formal dates and Britney is so excited,' a source told the magazine. 'She's never stopped loving Kevin or hoping they'd get back together.

'Kevin still loves Britney too and if all goes well after six months of counselling they'll move back in together with the boys.'

Britney and Federline's three-year marriage ended in a bitter divorce in July last year, followed by a custody battle over sons Sean Preston, three, and two-year-old Jayden James.

But insiders say things have changed since the end of the court case.

'Britney's dad first talked to Kevin about reconciling with her last spring. He was really noncommital at the time because he and Britney were still at odds over custody.

'But Kevin's always believed it would be best for the boys to be raised by both parents, and he and Jamie spent weeks looking for a counsellor who suited both his and Britney's personalities and could come to their homes.'

Britney is reportedly prepared to do whatever it takes to have her sons back full time.

She is now selling her home in Beverly Hills to move nearer to Kevin and their sons.

'If all goes well they'll move into Britney's new house together,' the source revealed.

And if all goes well they are even considering getting back together.

Rep: Britney ‘Looking For A Fresh Start’ With Sale Of Beverly Hills Home

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

Britney Spears’ 7,500-square-foot Beverly Hills home is on the market, a rep for the singer confirmed to Access Hollywood.

“Britney has placed her Beverly Hills home on the market. A spokesperson for the conservatorship confirms she is looking for a fresh start,” the rep said in a statement.

The pop star is asking $7.9 million for the six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom dwelling.

According to its MLS listing, the property includes a wet bar, library, den, high ceilings and stone and mosaic tile floors – not to mention a pool and spa.

Brit has reportedly been looking for a new home in a quieter location such as Hidden Hills or Calabasas.

Things have certainly been noisy at her current house, which she’s lived in for less than two years. In January, she was pulled from the home and involuntarily committed to a UCLA Medical Center psychiatric ward.

The house was made famous also as the enclave of former Brit friends Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, the former of whom mom Lynne Spears accused of drugging the pop star.

The singer has since made a comeback, scoring three awards at the MTV VMAs and prepping her next album, “Circus,” due on December 2.
