Ke$ha: Britney Spears Collaboration! Exclusive!

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

Last week, Just Jared had the pleasure of stopping by the L.A. studio of super producers Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald and Max Martin, who are executive producing Britney Spears‘ upcoming album, Femme Fatale.

Our heart was dancing as we heard more than half a dozen demos produced by Luke, Max, and their frequent collaborators Ammo and Benny Blanco.

Our favorite song was, not surprisingly, a dance song pop phenom Ke$ha wrote for Britney called “Till the World Ends.”

It’s one irresistibly catchy tune that, if it makes the album, will be an instant smash. In fact, we still have the tune stuck in our head - and we can’t get it out. It’s “TiK ToK” all over again!

Let's all stay calm and co...oh f*ck it. I swear to God if one Miss Autotune's tracks makes it onto the album I will punch a B*tch while rocking out with my c*ck out.

And, off topic, Kesha please take a bath. You even make me itch just by looking at your glittery face.

Don't hold this rant against me. I've been sick for nearly a month, in a bed for nearly a month and I'm pretty sure I've gained 10 pounts from emotional eating so yeah, I'm grumpy.

We Just Spoke To Britney Spears' Managers And….

Perez just got off the phone with both of Britney Spears' managers, Larry Rudolph and Adam Leber, after a very long conversation about the pop star and her future plans.

While we can't reveal everything that was discussed, we CAN exclusively confirm that….

Britney will be doing promo for her upcoming album! And there will be some announcements made about that soon.

Spears WILL be performing on television! She WILL be doing magazine covers and interviews. And much more!

We are relieved to hear that!

Oh, and as for those rumors of her using a dance double in the Hold It Against Me video, Team Britney says: "Not true!"

We can reveal exclusively that there is one scene in the video where Britney is fighting against herself and a lookalike had to be used for that scene to film the fighting. But Spears did ALL of her own dancing in the video - and we can't wait to see it!

Brit's managers promise that you're going to be seeing A LOT of Britney - and everywhere.

It can't come quickly enough!

Britney Spears' Femme Fatale: Fans Weigh In!

The following italicized article is from www.vh1.com:

Now that Britney Spears has revealed the cover and title choice for her anticipated new album, Femme Fatale, what do fans think? Well, many seem to be of the opinion that Spears' coy look and bold album name are a "flawless" and "perfect" decision on the part of the pop star, who is set to release the collection in March. When people took to MTVNews.com to comment on the article about the title release, a majority of the fans noted they couldn't be happier about it.

"Love the album name and the cover," Kevin J wrote. "It's great to see that fire in her eyes again and if everything I've been reading is true I'll soon get to see it back in her dancing too."

Caitie added, "Never, ever let down by Britney. You got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Commenter Priscila was excited to see Spears channeling femme fatale power for the album. She wrote, "OMG! I'm so excited! I need it [now]! Awesome title, I always loved that Velvet song and hoped that Britney would cover it. I'm grateful her new album will have a 'femme fatale' vibe!"

Meanwhile, IfUSeekPeanut noted that this album proves that the singer is the heir to the pop queen throne. "Yes!! Legend just like Madonna!! ... The picture is hot!!"

Ayluvhue114 wrote, "The cover itself speaks [who's] the real Goddess of beauty! It's classy and flawless!"

Booklady noted, "I can't wait to see her new video and for Femme Fatale to be released! #TeamBritney."

Salizarrr, meanwhile, is just excited to see what happens next in the Femme Fatale age of Britney, writing, "Britney's album is an escape and I can't wait to listen to it. I wanna pre-order the deluxe version already! I wonder what the second single will be."

Exclusive: Britney Spears' Producer Dr. Luke Reveals 'Femme Fatale' Details

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

Britney Spears announced today that her new album, due March 15, is titled Femme Fatale – but the superstar singer and her Los Angeles producers are still choosing songs and determining the final direction of the overall sound. "It's not done," Dr. Luke, co-producing the album with longtime Britney collaborator Max Martin and Montreal dance-pop songwriter Billboard, tells Rolling Stone. "We're in the middle of it right now. It's a little bit fluid right now. I can't even say at this stage what songs for sure are making it and what songs aren't. We're working with a lot of producers and overseeing it with her A&R and record label and management and trying to make something cohesive."

The album, of course, will contain "Hold It Against Me," co-written by Dr. Luke, Martin and Bonnie McKee, the hot songwriter who penned Katy Perry's "California Gurls" and Taio Cruz' "Dynamite." Spears' new single made its debut on the pop charts in mid-January at Number One, before dropping to Number Six last week.

Originally, Dr. Luke and Martin, the Swedish songwriter behind some of Spears' biggest hits, including "…Baby One More Time," planned to give the song to Katy Perry. "We might have played it for her, but it definitely wasn't a Katy Perry record," Dr. Luke says by phone from Conway Recording Studio in Los Angeles. "We had it for a while. I wanted to make sure it didn't sound like everything else I've done. I brought it into Billboard, and he just killed it. It can be hard in the verse, and the bridge is super, super hard, but the chorus is super-pop. You can play that chorus acoustically on a guitar and it's still going to sound great."

Top 40 radio stations continue to spin "Hold It Against Me" in regular rotation. "It feels like a really obvious, easy-to-listen-to first single," says John Ivey, program director for KIIS in LA, which played the song once an hour the first day it came out. "You hear all those little parts that are so Britney – 'here's the video-breakdown-dance part of the song.' That's what my listeners love about her."

Although her 2008 album Circus sold fewer than 2 million copies, not a huge number given Spears' history of blockbuster sales, retailers have high hopes for the March release. "[Circus] ended up doing well, but we were a little cautious about it — a little tense comeback issues were going to be relevant," says Mark Hudson, music buyer for Trans World Entertainment, who predicts the new album could sell 500,000 copies in its first week. "But this time around, her stock is higher."

Dr. Luke also noted that he and Martin, the executive producers, plan on working on several songs directly in addition to "Hold It Against Me." He also confirmed Bloodshy (who co-produced Spears' classic "Toxic") and Benny Blanco (who worked on Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" and Perry's "California Gurls") were among several big names who would make production appearances.

So far, Spears has dropped by the LA studio two or three times to lay down her vocals. "Britney's really fast," Dr. Luke says. "She gets it done."

Britney Spears Doesn't Channel Lady Gaga In 'Hold It Against Me' Video

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

Just because Britney Spears is working with "Telephone" director Jonas Åkerlund and his stylist wife B. Åkerlund for the "Hold It Against Me" video does not mean that the clip will mirror Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's extravaganza. Spears' choreographer, Brian Friedman, said the video is all Britney.

"The styling for this video is beyond what Britney has done before," he teased. "B. Åkerlund did the styling for it, and I can say that it is not 'Britney does Gaga.' That is not what's happening with this. Gaga has her own niche, and although B. has worked with Gaga before, she's not giving Britney anything that Gaga would wear. I love seeing Britney try out new things. It's just an extension of what Britney already is."

With potential Gaga comparisons debunked, Friedman talked about having fun with Spears on set and helping her regain that joie de vivre that fans have come to know and love when she's out on the dance floor.

"One of the places that we always tend to improve with Britney is on her beauty shots, when it's just Britney alone dancing," he said. "And one of the little tricks that I like to do is stand right off camera and scream words at her to try and get motivation from her and coach her through the little scenario that she's in, so we did that in this video. And I know there was a picture posted of a bunch of microphones around her face, and that's one of the scenes in particular where I was screaming at her on the side — in a good way."

So, what does he scream at her? "Tiger! I scream tiger," he dished. "When we first started working and I had her back in the studio, I was referring to how she danced when we were working together in the past, when we were doing 'Slave,' 'Toxic,' like some of those things. She used to have a prowl about her and an attack that to me was like a tiger, so I kept telling her, 'I want to see the tiger back,' " he revealed. "I scream the word 'tiger,' so 'tiger' seems to work. It makes her laugh, so it works."

Britney Spears' Choreographer Calls 'Hold It Against Me' Director 'Genius'

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

Jonas Åkerlund certainly has the resume to pull off an epic clip for Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me." Having already directed spectacles like Lady Gaga's "Telephone," Madonna's "Ray of Light" and Pink's "Sober," Åkerlund is known for creating sexy, controversial and sleek pop videos. So, working with Spears was a natural fit, said her choreographer, Brian Friedman.

"[When] Jonas and I got on the phone for the first time, I was actually jumping on a plane somewhere, so the conversation was very brief, but I am a huge Jonas Åkerlund fan," Friedman dished to MTV News. "Anything that he does is magical. His eye for art is insane, so I was excited to work with someone who loves art so much and it's not just a job, it's not technical; it really is a string aesthetic to what he does."

When Friedman and Åkerlund finally did get the chance to hash it out, the conversation was about how to ensure the video would be focused on what Spears is known for: her tight and sexy dance moves.

"So with that said, I had a meeting with him at his house. We went through the video from top to bottom, and I gave him as much input from the dance side, 'cause it's a dance video, as I could to try to help bring his story to life," he recalled. "And the collaboration was incredible."

Friedman said Åkerlund completely understood his and Spears' ideas on the project, and the results, he said, are no less than stellar.

"I really feel like bringing two artists together in a way like that — where the director really loves the dance and understands the art of the dance and doesn't try to cover it up and water it down — is the best way to go," he said. "He was genius for me with dance."
