To whom it may concern,
As a fan of Britney Spears, I support her in any way i can; I buy her music, I watch her performances, and I follow her on her various media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc). It has come to my attention that for a quite some time, a number of Britney fans have shown distaste to her official site, BritneySpears.com. Many, including myself, believe the site is immature and would be better suited for a younger artist. Many of her fans range in age, though many sit between the teen and adult range. I'm sure Britney's team notices this, so why is her site trying to reach a demographic of people much younger than her hardcore fan base.We fans aren't asking much. What we'd like to see is a re-vamped version of the site; a new layout that is fitting for a mature twenty-eight year old pop star, not an up-and-coming child star. We would be so much more appreciative of the site and it's bloggers and of Team Britney.Sincerely,Fans of Britney Spears

The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:Britney Spears seems to be at the center of a hairy situation.
The new issue of Star magazine claims the pop singer left more than a tip at her local Starbucks in Calabasas, CA.
“She must have been messing with her hair, because a staffer went [into the restroom] right after Britney and found a long blonde clip-in hair extension,” a source told the magazine. The “source” adds, “She’s done this before. It really grosses out the staff.”
A rep for Spears told Gossip Cop there is no truth to the story.
Since the magazine so often gets the “big” things about Spears wrong — claiming she was pregnant; insisting she was planning a wedding; reporting on a supposed bodyguard fling — it’s no surprise its Starbucks story is off by more than a hair.Source: Gossip Cop
The following italicized article is from www.tvguide.com:Here's one Glee fans should have seen coming: That upcoming Britney Spears-themed episode? It will revolve around New Directions' own Brittany (Heather Morris).
Of course!
Series creator Ryan Murphy tells TVGuide.com exclusively that McKinley High's deliciously ditzy Cheerio Brittany will be at the center of Season 2's tribute to Spears.
And it gets better. Brittany will be belting out not one, but two of the pop star's tunes. "Heather's actually got a terrific voice," Murphy says.
No word yet on which numbers they'll be, but just imagine the possibilities: Brittany could sing "Boys" (because she's hooked up with everyone, even Kurt) or "Toxic" (which could be her ode to Kurt!)
Would "Oops!...I Did It Again" be too obvious? Hmm...
Morris already seems sold on the idea. "I heard there's a Britney Spears episode coming up and fingers crossed that I get to sing, because I play Brittany and I'm like, 'Oh my god, it's insane,'" Morris told E! Online last month.
Glee fans won't have to wait long to find out how Morris sounds. Murphy said the Spears-powered hour will be the second episode to air next season.Source: TV Guide
According to PoorBritney.com a source has told them that Britney has been hard at work in the studio lately and is almost close to finishing her new album. In fact, they claim she's so close that they're already finalizing the tracklist.For the record, PC honestly states that they have no way of verifying this information.I personally choose not to believe this. While Britney has been in the recording studio since January this year she still hasn't worked with key producers such as Danja and Darkchild. Now, Britney doesn't take long to record a song, several producers have actually called her the fastest recording singer ever, but she isn't this quick lol.I still have a feeling that a new album will be out by November since Britney's team would never dare to release in January when sales are noticably lower than in the rest of the year.Only time will tell...

Article:At 28, she has five number one albums and yet another sold-out tour under her belt, proving that this superstar is as awesome as ever. Now Britney is enjoying some strict downtime...but she made an exception for Cosmo.
You've got to hand it to Britney. She didn't just bounce back last year---she commanded the spotlight and an album that produced back-to-back top-10 singles. When she took her show on the road, The Circus Starring Britney Spears ended up being the highest-grossing North American tour by a solo artist in 2009. After 97 performances around the world, Britney spent her final night under the big top in November and decided to take a well-deserved break from music. Since then, she's turned her talents to fashion and created a flirty clothing line for Candie's. "I had a lot of fun," Britney tells us. "I've never designed clothing before,and I really loved the creative process."
At the moment, she's racking up as much family time as she can. "Things are pretty quiet right now," she says. "I've been spending a lot of time at home with my boys. They just started karate class, which is supercute!" We were lucky enough to drag her away from 4-year-old Sean Preston and 3-year-old Jayden James just long enough for her to pose for a cover shoot and take one of our famous quizzes.

The following italicized article is from www.radaronline.com:Social workers made a visit to Britney Spears' home as part of an investigation by the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services that the singer abused her two sons, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
The blockbuster development comes after Spears' former bodyguard, Fernando Flores, allegedly claimed that the pop star abused her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James last March or April.
Flores told a British tabloid that Britney asked Flores for his belt, and then he says he witnessed her abusing the boys.
Flores didn't get into specifics about any alleged injuries, or if one or both children were targeted.
Now RadarOnline.com has learned that a complaint was lodged against Spears, forcing DCFS to investigate.
A Spears family insider tells RadarOnline.com, "Social workers visited Britney's house recently about the alleged abuse allegations. Under California law, anytime anyone makes a report to child protective services, a welfare check is required to be made under law to further investigate.
"It doesn't matter who has made the claim, or how outlandish it may seem. During the visit by officials, there was absolutely no signs of abuse. The boys are happy well adjusted toddlers that love their mama and Britney is fiercely protective of them.
"The investigation is 95 percent complete and no further action will be required. All that is essentially going to be done at this point is for the paperwork to be finished and then the case will be closed."
Flores is described to RadarOnline.com as "an opportunist seeking his 15 minutes of fame. Flores is a former disgruntled employee that is trying to take advantage of Britney."
Britney and K-Fed were spotted at the boys' pre-school graduation together last week.
The family insider says, "Britney and Kevin parent the children together, and they have developed a very healthy relationship that truly enables the boys to thrive. They are united in parenting the boys and trying to raise them in as normal environment as possible.
"If Kevin thought for one moment that the boys were in harms way while they are with Britney, he would immediately go to family law court to have the situation addressed and dealt with. Britney is rarely alone with her sons, usually her boyfriend, Jason Tarwick, is with her during their visits, or her dad is there."
There has been absolutely no action by K-Fed or Britney regarding any custody issues with the boys, RadarOnline.com has confirmed with public records with the Los Angeles Superior Court system. The last time there was any movement was in September 2009, and that dealt with one of the parents getting one more day of visitation per week.
This isn't the first time DCFS has investigated Spears. Back in 2007, her former bodyguard, Tony Barretto, had a two-hour meeting with officials from the office and his attorney, Gloria Allred.
Barretto claimed to witness Spears using drugs, and was concerned about her then erratic behavior. Barretto requested that a formal investigation be opened into the matter. Spears eventually lost custody of her sons in early 2008 after she was placed under a psychiatric hold.
Spears has flourished since being placed under conservatorship, and she essentially has joint custody of her sons.
In 2006, when Spears was still married to Federline, a nanny accidentally dropped then 7-month-old Sean Preston, and he subsequently hit his head. DCFS visited the Spears household after Brit and Kevin took their son to the hospital and concluded there was no evidence of abuse, and no further action was taken at that time either.Source: Radar OnlineTMZ has learned a former, part-time security worker for Britney Spears contacted the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services, claiming Britney abused her sons, but his timing raises suspicions.
Sources say Fernando Flores claimed Britney whipped one of her sons with a belt. Flores made other claims that Britney abused both sons. But sources tell us Flores did not utter a peep for more than a month after he was let go.
A source close to Britney and her family tells TMZ, "The allegations made by Fernando Flores are absurd." The source adds, "Flores was never an employee of Britney. He was never an employee of the Spears family. He worked part-time for a security company."
And sources say Children Services investigated -- as they must -- and determined the claim had no merit.Source: TMZClaims from Britney Spears's former bodyguard that the pop star allegedly hit her two sons with a belt are false, sources tell PEOPLE.
"Britney is quite the opposite – she doesn't discipline them enough and she will do anything to keep the boys happy," says one source close to Spears. "There are issues with Britney, but her abusing the boys are not one of them."
Fernando Flores told a British tabloid that he had witnessed Spears, 28, hitting her children, Preston, 4, and Jayden, 3, in March or April 2009, but another source tells PEOPLE the allegations are untrue.
"It's ridiculous what the guy is claiming. It never happened," says the source.
The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services sent social workers to the singer's home, according to RadarOnline, but the visit was routine since California law requires a welfare check anytime a report is made to child protective services.
"Everything is fine," says the second source. "Britney has done nothing but be a great mom to her kids."

The following italicized article is from www.forbes.com:When Britney Spears popped up at no. 6 on our Celebrity 100 list, we too thought it must be some sort of technical glitch in the number crunching process. What else could explain the placement of the former head-shaving, umbrella-swinging, rehab-visiting pop-tart near the top of a list of the world’s most powerful stars? Could this one-time train wreck really be that rich or that important to the entertainment business?
The answer is yes. The Britney Spears who made our list was not the tabloid target whose frequent meltdowns only two years ago relegated her to our infamy index. Instead, the 28-year-old that clocked in in our top 10 was the chart-topping songstress whose past 12 months included the 5th highest-grossing tour of the year. According to concert trade publication Pollstar, "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" tour grossed more than $130 million. Spears took in still more from tour merchandise and another greatest hits album, "The Singles Collection."
Like her savvier Hollywood cohorts, she has been similarly busy building the Spears brand, extending her fan-base –and wallet—with a host of top-selling Elizabeth Arden fragrances, an endorsement deal for Candie’s and a fashion collection for juniors. She added the latter last month, and will sell her designs exclusively at Kohl’s.
But for her to land as high on the list as she did, she needed to garner as much fame as she did money. She did. In fact, the mother of two ranked third overall in Web mentions (behind Lady Gaga and Beyonce, who banked an estimated $62 million and $87 million, respectively, during the same period) and second in a social media metric that factored in both Twitter and Facebook followings (Gaga has her beat with nearly 10 million Facebook fans).
Still more impressive: in May, Spears overtook Twitter king Ashton Kutcher as the most popular celebrity on Twitter. At last check, she had 5.2 million followers, a group with whom she responds to and frequently updates.
So no, Britney Spears is far from through. If the last year is any indication, she's just getting started.Source: Forbes

InStyle.com: How do you describe your own personal style?

#12 - Britney Spears
Britney Spears was the biggest of the teen pop stars to emerge in the late 1990s. However, by the middle of the following decade it seemed her musical career may have drowned in a mass of bad publicity and personal difficulties. Britney Spears then put together one of the most phenomenal comebacks in pop music history and is more commercially and critically successful than ever before. In the past decade she has released 16 top 40 pop singles, five #1 albums and is, at the age of 27, a pop icon.

The pop star, who was joined by parents Jamie and Lynne Spears, and her ex-husband arrived separately at a San Fernando Valley school Thursday, but met up briefly. Preston, 4, and Jayden, 3, were later treated to McDonald's Happy Meals after the ceremony, says a source.
Spears, 28, "was very excited about her boys' graduation and she dressed them up for the festive occasion," the source says.
The exes, who tied the knot in 2004, split in late 2006 before finalizing their divorce a year later. A custody settlement reached in 2008 gave Federline, 32, sole custody of the kids while Spears, who is under the conservatorship of her father, was allowed several weekly visits. Source: People
