Britney Spears Says She Plans To Tour In 2009

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

Britney Spears stopped by New York radio station Z100 Monday morning (September 29) to talk about her new single, "Womanizer," which made its debut on the station Friday, and surprised listeners by saying she's planning to tour next year.

"['Womanizer' is] basically saying, 'We know what you're up to.' It's about guys cheating on girls," she said. "It's a girl anthem. That's why I like it. So hopefully the fans will see it that way too!"

She also said she's completed work on her forthcoming LP, Circus (which is slated for release on her 27th birthday, December 2), on which the single appears. "Well, actually ... I cut Circus like two weeks ago. I've been working on this album for, like, six months now."

Spears said was stunned when she won three Moonmen earlier this month at the VMAs, in part because she feels she's done better videos. "It's a cool video, but I think by far I've done videos that are way better, so I was really shocked that it got the award," she said.

"It was just inspiring, though," she continued, "because now, going forward with the videos that I'm doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens."

Surprisingly, the singer also said that she plans to tour in 2009. "Oh, definitely next year," she said when asked about touring possibilities. "Probably around the world." Last year, Spears, under the name M+M's, did a small club tour that found her lip-synching and wearing a black wig during a brief set.

Last week, Spears was seen around Los Angeles filming the video for "Womanizer." In the clip, Britney sports a vampy look, clad in a short black wig and red lipstick, and playing a waitress. The clip was directed by Joseph Khan, who previously helmed her clips for "Stronger" and "Toxic." Sources told UsMagazine.com that the video features "erotic" choreography.

Britney Tries to Outmaneuver Prosecutors

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

While Britney Spears tunes up for a new album and world tour, a lawyer for the reforming pop princess is telling the court she's not really up to handling a driver's license issue.

For what seems like the umpteenth time, attorney Michael Flanagan is seeking to derail a trial in the case of Spears and her MIA California driver's license.

He filed documents today in Los Angeles County Superior Court requesting a stay in the proceedings because she is remains under the control of a conservatorship.

"The Probate Court has found that [Spears] lacks the capacity to retain counsel," Flanagan writes, "as a result, [Spears] is currently unable to participate meaningfully in this matter." (View the documents.)

Flanagan goes on to claim that precedent shows proof of correction (i.e., Brit obtaining a California license) usually nips matters such as these in the bud.

The "Oops" songbird was rung up in August 2007 after a hit-and-split incident in which she dinged another vehicle while fleeing from paparazzi.

A follow-up investigation revealed that she was carrying a Louisiana license but not a California one, a no-no under state law. Authorities subsequently charged her with a misdemeanor count of driving without a vaild license.

As it stands, Flanagan is due back in court of Spears' behalf Oct. 8—what could be the final chance for him work out a settlement with prosecutors before the trial is scheduled kick off a week later.

Britney Spears: No Sex Tape

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

Looks like Britney fans will have to stick with Chaotic if they're itching to watch the star on grainy videotape.

British-based Heat magazine reported earlier Monday that photographer/Spears-ex Adnan Ghalib confirmed to them he has a sex tape of himself with the pop star.

However, a source close to Britney Spears is throwing cold water on the Heat story.

"The story is completely false," the source tells E! News.

Spears' rep at Jive Records has not responded to calls seeking comment.

Ghalib is also playing hard to get. His cell phone number is disconnected. His former photo agency, JFX, tells E! News that Ghalib "never worked for us" and has not been able to provide any contact information for him.

"Womanizer" #1 On Z100

The title pretty much says it all. Britney's first single "Womanizer" was the most requested track tonight on New York radio station z100 - coming in at #1.

Going in and promoting it probably helped a little.

Just a little. It's just begun...

Britney Doesn't Want to Stand Trial for Ding, Dang

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

She may not have put the brakes on when she should have, but Britney now wants the judge in her lil' traffic accident case to slam those suckers down.

You'll recall Brit is set to stand trial for driving without a valid California license -- a case that has dragged on for a year. Remember, the crazy version of Britney struck a car in August of last year and the cops found she was driving with a Louisiana license in Los Angeles.

Now her lawyer wants the judge to stop the trial, at least for now, because of the conservatorship. According to the docs, she's still not totally with it. Brit is "unable to participate meaningfully in her defense."

It's kind of weird, because we're hearing the conservatorship could end as early as next month. So the new trial of the century may still be coming to a cable channel soon.

Britney Spears Files Appeals In Driving Case

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

Britney Spears' attorney has asked a judge to delay the singer's upcoming trial on a misdemeanor charge for driving without a valid license.

Attorney J. Michael Flanagan filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday seeking a stay in the criminal case. Flanagan also wants an appellate judge to order the judge overseeing the case to grant Spears' motion to dismiss.

Flanagan has twice requested a dismissal of the case, saying that Spears should be allowed to pay a $10 fine and not face a criminal trial.

The 26-year-old singer is scheduled to go on trial in October on a single misdemeanor charge that she did not have a valid California license when she hit a parked car in August 2007 and left the scene.

Flanagan also argues in Monday's filings that Spears is unable to meaningfully participate in her defense because of her conservatorship. Since February, her father has controlled the singer's personal and financial affairs.

Also Monday, the pop star told a New York radio station that her clip Piece of Me leaves room for improvement — despite winning three MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.

"It's a cool video, but I think by far I've done videos that are way better," the singer said in an interview with top 40 radio station Z100. "So I was really shocked that ... it got the award."

Spears called her triple victory "inspiring, though, because now going forward with the videos that I'm doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens."

Spears, whose new album Circus drops Dec. 2, plans a possible world tour next year.

Britney Goes Live on the Radio

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Britney Spears has descended upon NYC and is already hitting all the big stops, including a visit to radio station Z100 to chat live on the air about her new album, Circus.

"I've been working on this album for six months or so," she tells Z100's JJ.

The Britster seemed calm, cool and collected wearing a sweater and sunglesses as she added her thoughts on her new song, "Womanizer," which dropped last week.

"It's a really cool song," she says of the single. "I like the fact that it's so empowering for girls, because it's basically saying, 'We know what you're up to.' It's about guys cheating on other girls and stuff and it's kind of like a girl anthem."

Britney says she was suprised that for all the times she's been nominated, that she finally won a VMA for her "Piece of Me" video.

"It's a cool video, but I think by far, that I've done videos that are way better, so I was really shocked that I got the award." But this year's success snagging three Moonmen could be just the start for Britney, who says she's excited for the future of her videos.

"It was just inspiring though, because now going forward with the videos I'm doing now, I can really go there and do something crazy and see what happens."

The comeback queen arrived in the Big Apple yesterday, and she's set to take in the sights and eat her favorite NYC treat – pizza.

"I miss it here so much, I love it!" she gushes about the city. "It's kind of bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years, so when I come back it's like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still."

Brit also revealed some exciting news for next year – she'll be going on tour next year, "probably around the world."

Britney Spears Makes Her Way To The Big Apple

Britney Spears caused a bit of a sensation at LAX Airport here in LA yesterday morning (as she usually does wherever she goes) as she made her way to NYC, where she arrived late last night. But before Brit Brit flied the friendly transcontinental skies, she went out for a lovely dinner with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, as well as her father Jamie Spears and small entourage on Saturday night. Here are pics of Britney and her family making their way out of Wolfgang Steak House in Beverly Hills, CA Sat. night:
It should be noted that Brit & Co. ate at the Wolfgang Steak House owned by Wolfgang Zwiener and NOT Wolfgang Puck (which you may recall has some … interesting … art on the walls). And here are a few photos of Britney’s grand arrival at LAX Airport and then her arrival at JFK Airport in NYC:
I understand that Britney has made her way to NYC in order to take care of some biz to promote her new single Womanizer (which debuted last Friday) and album Circus (which will be released on December 2). I wouldn’t be surprised if she made her way to the East Coast to shoot a few photoshoots, mebbe film some video, possibly schmooze some record execs … you know, typical popstar stuff. I am really excited for the coming months … I understand that Womanizer will be available for sale on iTunes on October 7, giving it enough time to marinate on the radio and in cyberspace so that folks will go wild when it is finally released for sale. The track is sure to go straight to #1, I’m absolutely certain. Wee … it is so great having Britney Spears back on the scene … working! Keep it up, Britters, we are so with you.

Britney Spears Elevates Womanzier

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

Britney Spears and her older brother Brian depart from LAX airport in Los Angeles on Friday.

Last week, the 26-year-old pop princess filmed the music video for her single, “Womanizer” at Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant and Elevate Lounge.

According to one Us Weekly spywitness, “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. Spears worked up a sweat — her black bob wig was rubbing off on her forehead, says the witness — and an appetite.”

So excited to see the video premiere!!!
