Simon Cowell On Britney: ‘She Has Come Back From A Very Dark Place’

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

Simon Cowell has confirmed that Britney Spears will appear on his British talent show, “The X Factor,” the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.

The pop princess will be performing her No. 1 single “Womanizer.”

“I’m really excited about it,” Simon told the Daily Mail. “She has her act together and the new record is terrific.”

He went on to note that Britney’s public comeback – which began in September with her triumphant appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards, where she won three Moon Men – is a welcome return after a “dark” period.

“She has come back from a very dark place and is a terrific artist,” he said.

Britney’s appearance will reportedly come later this month.

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

In September, Cowell confirmed to "Extra" Spears would perform on his hit UK TV show "The X Factor."

Britney May Never Regain Full Custody

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

Popstar Britney Spears may lose her kids forever, as she has agreed to a court ruling that put her dad in permanent charge of her affairs.

The ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’ hitmaker and pals hope the deal will let her visit her sons, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, more often.

Legal experts have said that after admitting that Britney is unfit to look after herself, the singer may lose her chance getting full custody of the boys, who live with their father, Kevin Federline.

“If one court found she’s not capable of taking care of herself and her affairs, how is another court going to find her able to take care of the affairs of two babies?” The ‘Daily Star’ quoted a family law specialist, as saying. After her public meltdown, Britney is now fighting to be back at top spot.

"Out From Under" A Cover?

First off, as soon as I wrote that title I laughed. It completely wouldn't make sense in any other context other then this. Anyway...

"Out From Under," a new track off Britney's upcoming studio album Circus, is reportedly a cover Joanna Pacitti's version, which appeared on the Bratz movie soundtrack last year.

According to Cheiron-Music.com, Britney re-recorded the track with Guy Sigsworth as the producer. Britney credits Sigsworth in a recent interview, revealing that he worked on two ballads with Britney for Circus, "My Baby" being the other one.

The site continues to say that "Circus," Britney's second single off Circus, is NOT produced by Max Martin despite reports, but by Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly & Benny Blanco! Dr. Luke has worked with Britney before, including producing a track titled "All The Way," in which he describes it as "a feel good, upbeat song." Unfortunately the track did not make the final cut.

But don't think Max Martin got the boot entirely. "If U Seek Amy" is reportedly written by Martin, as well as Alexander Kronlund, Shellback and Savan Kotecha. Martin is also singing backing vocals to the "f-u-c-k me" track.

It’s Britney, Witch!

Britney Spears, who has of late been very open and forthcoming with her fans on everything from spending time with her children to rehearsing for her new music video, was curiously shy this Halloween weekend as she made her way out of Drew Barrymore’s Halloween party. Dressed as a witch (I think), Britney hid behind her conical hat as she departed from the Halloween fête:
You can see that Brit Brit was rockin’ a witchy black wig while her two friends wore white wigs but it’s evident that she wasn’t really interested in showing off her costume:
Honestly, with all the openness that Britney has been sharing on her official website in recent weeks, I can understand how she might want to lay low every once in a while.

Britney Takes Back Ex Hubby As Butler!

Britney Spears has put her 55-hour former hubby Jason Alexander on the pay roll to be her butler, according to pals.

The pop icon, who has stunned all with her gradual return to stability, offered the job to her childhood pal after learning that he had squandered the 300,000 divorce settlement paid by the singer.

The 26-year-old is trying to help out buddy Jason who has been struggling with his acting and singer career and lived in a grimy flat since the couple split four years ago, according to her close friend.

“She’s going to give Jason all the support she can and make sure he has a decent income so he can keep his dreams alive,” the Daily Star quoted the friend as saying.

The pop princess, whose Las Vegas marriage to Jason ended in less than three days, is said to be happier with ‘the butler’ around.

The friend said: “He’s proving to be a real tonic for her.”
