Britney Spears Donates Dress to Haiti

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

She's no George Clooney, but Britney Spears is doing her part for the Haitian relief effort -- she's donating a dress she wore at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards for auction.

Britney was in court today for a conservatorship hearing, but has since left the courthouse because of a commitment with her kids.

Brit's lawyer, Geraldine Wyle, asked the commissioner for authority to dispose of certain property -- items that are no longer useful to her or her estate. Wyle was not specific, though we're thinking Adnan is one of the items.

We're told the commissioner also wants to get a first hand look-see of how Britney was doing. No reviews so far.

Britney Spears Credit Card Caper

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

Britney Spears may not be capable of signing record deals and buying homes, but when it comes to a simple shoe purchase, she's a regular shopping ninja.

We've learned Britney is using her bodyguard's credit card to score purchases that don't fit into her conservatorship budget.

Britney hit up the Steve Madden store in the Valley over the weekend and bought 2 pairs of boots. We're told Brit paid for the new kicks with a credit card, but the card had the name of one of her bodyguards on it.

The store employees gave Britney a hard time over the card ... because she signed her own name on the dotted line. We're told Britney convinced the clerk the person named on the card is an employee of her company and she was entitled to use it.

Here's the thing: Under the terms of the conservatorship Britney has a credit card with a limit of $1,500 a week.

Britney Ordered to Court Next Week

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

The commissioner in the Britney Spears conservatorship case wants a command courtroom performance from Ms. Spears, and the commish is frustrated that didn't happen today.

Commissioner Reva Goetz just confirmed what TMZ reported earlier today ... that Britney was due in court at 1:30. We were told her people didn't want her to show because Brit would be besieged by reporters.

But the commish apparently wasn't as receptive to Britney not showing as we had heard. Commissioner Goetz said, "The court was supposed to meet with Ms. Spears this afternoon and there was a misunderstanding. I'm going to continue the matter until next Friday at 1:30 and she will be here."

Britney Records for 7th Album

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

So much for staying shacked up at the Mondrian Hotel all alone with her assistant Brett!

Britney Spears started off her day around 11 a.m., first stopping by a music studio on Wilshire - where she was working on her latest album! So excited for that, natch. Then our girl was dropped off in Bev Hills for a little retail therapy...

Our photogs on the scene say that Brit "seemed relieved to get out of the house," or in this case, her hotel!, and that she "appeared to be in better spirits than in recent days."

Then Britney stopped at Pottery Barn for some moderately priced home furnishings and afterward, headed to the Chateau Marmont around 2:45 pm.

Jason Trawick was there waiting for her. So it looks like the twosome are at least on friendly terms. Maybe their rough patch is smoothed over temporarily?

The two just left the hotel together in the same car -- Brit's bodyguard driving Jason's car and Jason chauffeuring Britney in her car. They stopped at Jason's house to pick up what appeared to be an overnight bag for him and then headed to Britney's house!

What does all of this mean ... Are these two back together? Are they just friends? Just business associates? Business associates spending the night together???!!!

Only time will tell!

Britney Spears: Beverly Hills Spending Spree

The following italicized article is from www.celebrity-gossip.net:

Satisfying her need to drop a little cash, Britney Spears headed out on a shopping spree in Beverly Hills on Wednesday afternoon (January 7).

Showing off her dark brunette locks, the “3” singer browsed through a local antique shop’s selections while joined by her trusty security staffer.

Meanwhile, Miss Spears recently chatted with Look magazine about her body appearance - confessing that she’s never totally satisfied with her physique.

Brit tells, “I’m such a perfectionist, which means I’m never satisfied. I always strive for things to be better. I think you can be happy with the person on the inside but on the outside you’re always striving for more. But that’s how you end up driving yourself crazy.”

Asked if she considers herself a sex icon, the 28-year-old replied, “I don’t see myself like that at all. I don’t know why. To me, someone who is sexy is someone with confidence, who carries themselves properly and is comfortable in their own skin.”

Six Collaborations Britney Spears Should Do In 2010

As you've probably heard by now, there's a fairly good chance that, come March, we'll have a new Britney Spears single on our airwaves. Not much is known about the song, except that it's apparently produced by current "It" guy David Guetta (perhaps you've heard "I Gotta Feeling," the ultra-ubiquitous song he did for the Black Eyed Peas.

There's reportedly also an album due this summer, featuring work by Darkchild and 21-year-old producer/musician Jon Asher, who recently told the New York Post that it will be "Epic … music that has meaning. Something that truly moves you."

Sounds epic indeed. So while Spears' label, Jive Records, told MTV News that they "cannot confirm" anything, we here in the Newsroom figured that it's never too early to begin rampant speculation about Brit Brit's new project. Which is why we've complied a wish list of artists and producers we can only dream she'd collaborate with. Because, if we can't dream, what can we do?

Lady GaGa

Imagine the possibilities of a Britney/Gaga duet. The sparkles. The studded leather hoods. The strangeness of it all. In all seriousness, the idea of pop music's two biggest names (aside from, you know, Madonna) getting together on a track makes our head spin … you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a bigger collaboration all year. Sort of like "Swagger Like Us," only flossier. And gay-friendly.

Beyoncé

Okay, so maybe this one would top it. If the Queen B and Miss Brit got together on a track, the Diva-tude would be off the charts. Who sings lead? Who gets to wear the "Single Ladies" glove? The video alone would be bananas: A Day-glo fashion explosion, only with more hip-popping. Please make this happen.

Miley Cyrus

This would probably never happen, especially since Miley has never even heard a Jay-Z song, but both have covered Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'n' Roll," so perhaps they could find common ground on another super-raspy tune. Maybe something from the Bonnie Raitt catalog?

Stuart Price

Who? Why, only one of the most sought-after and respected producers in the biz. Price — who's made excellent albums under the guises of Les Rhythmes Digitales and Zoot Woman — has worked with the likes of Madonna and the Killers, and (as Jacques Lu Cont) he's even remixed a track for Spears ("Breathe On Me"). We'd love to see him give her the full treatment. Imagine an album of Britney cooing over Price's near-patented galloping '80s basslines.

John Hill and that dude from the Bravery

We knew Hill had the goods (his work on Santigold's 2008 album proved that), but who knew Sam Endicott had it in him? The pair were responsible for the two best songs on Shakira's She Wolf album (the title track and the galactic "Men in This Town,") and he's also been working on Christina Aguilera's new LP. We'd like to think their Italo-boogie would fit nicely with the 2010 version of Britney, too.

Steve Albini/Dave Fridmann/Insert name of favorite "indie" producer here

This would never happen, though the idea of Albini getting super mad when Britney's people insist she wants to record the album digitally makes us cackle slightly.

New Britney Single in March?

According to several news outlets, Kiss FM stated on air that a new Britney single, produced by David Guetta, will be coming out next March with the new album following in June.

Now, since there is no actual recording of Ryan Seacrest saying this there is no way of knowing how truthful this report is. To me it seems very suspicious since Britney has only been recording a handful of times since October 2009 but there is a rumour that they're using rejected 'Circus' songs for the new album so who knows.

Britney Spears' Workout Plan -- Solid Foundation

Athletes put on their "game face" before a big game -- before she works out, Britney Spears just puts on her face.

We're told the weaved wonder -- who has been spotted several times last week at the swanky Mondrian Hotel -- has been taking full advantage of the place's gym during her stay ... and we're told she's not slacking.

A spy tells TMZ she's been training hard -- for what, we're not sure -- and each time she shows up to the gym, she's in full in makeup.

My reaction? Well...

Britney Is The Celebrity Of The Decade

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

While that one wacky news station swears that they report and you decide, PopEater really lives up to the mantra. Last week, we asked you to choose from our lot of six megastars who would earn the title 'Celebrity of the Decade.' We laid out our reasoning for why each celebrity was nominated, but in the end, you chose Britney Spears over Angelina Jolie as the most important celebrity of the 2000s. Britney's rise to, fall from and subsequent rise to fame once again apparently won our readers over, as the resilient Spears took 36 percent of the vote.

Of the six celebs who were eligible for this honor, Britney Spears has had the most weathered and dramatic journey of all. In 2000, she was pop music's new queen -- a brilliantly marketed blend of cutesy teen goodness and sexy jailbait badness. In 2006, she was a freight train off the rails, quickly spiraling towards being a publicist's worst nightmare and even worse, many weren't sure she'd make it out of the decade alive. Now, with 2010 approaching and after all of the ups and downs, Britney's back on top of the music world -- proving that divorces, head shavings and psychiatric holds can't keep greatness down.

Britney started off the decade by absolutely demolishing the record charts, selling more than 1.3 million copies of 'Oops! I Did It Again' in the album's first week. Months later at the MTV Video Music Awards, she sizzled on screen in a nude-colored outfit. Britney was growing up ... fast.

Three years later, Britney made similar waves when Madonna passed the pop torch onto her via her tongue during a French kiss at the 2003 VMAs. Why is this even mentioned? Because it's easily one of the top 5 most memorable pop moments of the decade. However, that smooch came close to being the kiss of death for Britney.

In 2004, Brit married her high school boyfriend Jason Alexander for 55 hours ... and then a year later, she tied the knot to Kevin Federline. Two children, a reality show and a whole bunch of drama later, we all know how that worked out. In 2006, the couple was kaput, and Spears barely able to tread the dangerous waters she was floating in.

2006-07 saw Spears at her lowest point. Her divorce sent her spiraling into a downfall, including the infamous shaved head incident, an umbrella attack on photographers, rehab visits and more. This was erratic at its most severe, and many thought Spears could never recover and come back to her pop greatness.

After a very rocky return to stage during 2007s VMAs with an awkward and ill-fitting rendition of her new tune 'Gimme More,' Spears continued to dig herself deeper into the pop ditch, thanks to a wild relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib. She was in the headlines every day thanks to her behavior and sheer who-knows-what-will-happen-next allure.

Then, in 2008, after starting the year by being rushed to a hospital and being placed under a psychiatric hold, Spears slowly began turning things around. She ditched Adnan, reached a custody settlement with Federline, and topped the charts again with her "comeback" album 'Circus.' A year later in 2009, Spears was back on top of the charts again with 'The Singles Collection,' riding the strength of the album's blatantly sexual ode-to-threesomes single '3.'

What the future holds for Miss Spears is yet to be seen, but one thing is for sure -- the girl's got some rebounding skills. It's that type of highs-and-lows ability to overcome adversity that put Britney on this list -- and your celebrity of the decade.

Britney Spears -- Conservatorship Extended

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

Britney Spears will remain under the watchful eye of her father -- now that a judge has ruled to extend her conservatorship.

The judge didn't specify how long the conservatorship will remain in place, but lawyers involved in the matter tell TMZ they expect it to last somewhere between six months and a year.

Under the ruling, Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, will continue to receive a $16,000-a-month payment for his duties. Andrew Wallet -- the co-conservator -- was also granted a $174,569.10 payment for services rendered between July 2009 and November 2009.

The judge also authorized Britney's conservatorship to kick out close to $300,000 in attorney's fees.

The next hearing is set for January 14th.
