Lynne Spears: 'Things Are Looking Up Again'

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

After a year of upheaval for her family, Lynne Spears exclusively tells PEOPLE.com that she's cherishing the "small things" like taking Britney's sons Preston, 3, and Jaden, 2, for a spin in her golf cart and planning a shopping trip with Jamie Lynn because 3-month-old Maddie is "growing out of all her clothes."

"Really wonderful things are happening now," Spears, 53, said Saturday. "It looks like things are looking up again."

PEOPLE caught up with Spears at the Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) 20th annual convention in Grapevine, Texas, where she was a surprise guest speaker. She shared with the crowd of 4,500 mothers what it's like to face criticism for the way she raised Britney, 26, and Jamie Lynn, 17.

"I had a perfect little plan," she said, explaining the parenting journey chronicled in her memoir, Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World. "But, you can't control the [kids]' peers, you can't control society and you do the best you can."

Lynne is making plans for the whole clan to get together. She especially loves doting on her three grandchildren, who call her "Me Maw."

"The seasons are changing and things are good this year," she says. "I am so happy where we are right now."

Spears, who appeared at the MOPS convention with co-author Lorilee Craker, said her deepest wish for the future of Britney and Jamie Lynn, is simple: "I would like smooth sailing for my children."

Helen Mirren Feels Sorry For Britney

The BAFTA-award winning actress Helen Mirren says she feels sorry for Britney Spears.

Mirren, who plans to write a novel in the future, told GMTV that she hoped that young celebs like Britney were able to focus on what matters in life, reports mirror.co.uk.

'I think that's very difficult and I think people who become very wealthy and very famous before they're 20 and with that kind of scrutiny, of course it drives you crazy,' she said.

Mirren added: 'Hopefully, as you get older you get over it. I think if you're young and you're not seasoned in life, you don't realise that it will pass and you don't realise that it's not that important.'

Britney Spears, Madonna 'Fall Out Over Kabbalah'

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

MADONNA'S friendship with Britney Spears is reportedly on the rocks after the Toxic singer ditched Kabbalah.

Spears, 26, had been following the mystical Jewish faith as part of her ongoing attempts to straighten out her public image.

But, according to Britain's News of The World newspaper, Spears no longer wants to be involved with the celeb religion -- and subsequently had her forthcoming live spot on Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour dumped.

A source says, "Madonna is dismayed that Britney has just dropped Kabbalah.

"She's always believed it is a way of life, not just something to pick up and get rid of on a whim.
"Madonna doesn't feel she can work with Britney any more because they're just not aligned on a spiritual level."

Britney -- who releases her sixth studio album, Circus, in December -- was due to appear on stage with the Queen of Pop for a live duet as part of the US leg of her tour. But the stunt has now been axed.

An insider who has worked with Britney on past beauty product-related ventures revealed that the perfume will smell of cherry and vanilla aromas.

“The bottle of Hidden Fantasy is the same as the previous two Fantasy perfumes - the only difference is the color is red on it,” the source added.

EXCLUSIVE "Womanizer" Music Video Details!

Britney has come a long way from her bizarre late-night debacles and promiscuous relationships to a current state of grace that has fans and followers rooting for her once again. "Womanizer," Britney's first single off her upcoming album "Circus," was released to radio late last week, with a digital release scheduled for October 7th. The music video, shot by director Joseph Kahn ("Stronger," "Toxic"), is scheduled for release next Friday, October 10th on ABC's 20/20 according to ABCnews.com. And now BreatheHeavy.com can reveal exclusive details of THE music video you have been anxiously waiting for these last few years. And I promise: no stripper poles, no white fur jackets, and definitely no cartoons. Britney's back, bitch, and she wants you to know whether you're ready for it or not.

Warning! Spoilers below! Ah, who are you kidding... you can't resist.

The "Womanizer" music video takes place at the Elevate Lounge in the Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant located in downtown Los Angeles. One scene shows Britney as a sexed-up waitres, wearing black boots, tight-black leather pants with an oversized black belt, a black leather vest with a white button-up cutoff vest underneath, and drenched in silver jewelry around her neck and wrists. Britney's left arm is tatted with red roses. The word "Womanizer" is written inside a broken heart on her upper arm and written again in black cursive a bit lower. Surrounded by dancers in similar outfits, Britney walks through the restaurant carrying a silver platter with a glass of brandy on top. To complete her Gothic-waitress look, Britney rocks a shoulder-length, dark auburn-colored wig and black nail polish.

Another scene shows a playful and flirty Britney playing the role of a sexy secretary (a-la "How I Met Your Mother"), dressed in a black & white striped top, a knee-length leather skirt, black-rimmed spectacles and a short, black bob wig. Britney, wearing bright-red lipstick for the scene, plays with the love-interest in the video (wearing a black business suit and tie) - even photocopying his face in the office as she smiles to the camera.

But it's the sex-kitten Britney in a revealing, grey satin robe, peeping black bra, and pink belly-button ring. Her signature tasseled, long blond hair shows fans just why they fell in love with the pop-star nearly 10 years ago. Here, Britney is cooking breakfast for her pursuer after a night of passion (yes, she gives him a lap-dance in bed), and brings the meal to her newly-found lover who happens to be wearing only white boxer-briefs at the table while the word "womanizer" flashes in the background. But what does Britney do after being scantily-clad and provocative towards the young man? Blows him a kiss, remembering that innocent, yet not-so-innocent, demure she displayed in her early days in pigtails and a school-girl uniform.

Britney is later seen wearing the man's black business-jacket and tie, along with a black hat and sunglasses inside a car. Perhaps a quick escape after using the man she adamantly labels a womanizer for a little fun of her own?

Britney proves herself in this video as a relevant music icon. It's sexy, it's wild, it's empowering, but more importantly it's that legendary pop video we've been waiting for since "Toxic."

You say she's crazy? She's got your crazy, and I'm loving it.

Spears Caught Up In Womnaizer Hoax

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

BRITNEY SPEARS is at the centre of an internet hoax after computer whizz kids superimposed the singer's face on TYRA BANKS' body - and passed the images off as the CD cover of her new song WOMANIZER.

The raunchy pictures show a woman who appears to be Spears in a black corset-style leotard, brandishing a cane. In another shot, the female is shown placing her cane on a semi-naked man's chest as a snake slithers over his body.

But the images have been exposed as fakes by Spears' record label Sony BMG - because label bosses have yet to see the photographs themselves, let alone release them online.

A spokesperson for Sony BMG says, "These are nothing to do with us. We haven't even seen the official cover pictures yet because they have only just been shot."I haven't a clue why someone should do this but there are all sorts of pictures of Britney around. There's a lot of made-up stuff on the internet, too."

The photos of former supermodel Banks are the promo shots from a previous run of her reality TV show America's Next Top Model.

Britney Spears’s New Video For ‘Womanizer’ Debuts 10.10.08

ABC News has announced that Britney Spears will premiere the music video for her new single Womanizer on the October 10th episode of 20/20:

Spears to Put Out New Album on 27th Birthday; Watch Video Premiere on ‘20/20′ Oct. 10
Britney Spears’ second comeback is in full swing: She’s due to release a new album in December, on her 27th birthday. “Circus” is set for release Dec. 2, a little over a year after she released last November’s “Blackout,” which was perhaps her most critically acclaimed CD, but came during her infamous year of erratic behavior, rehab, custody battles and at least one hospitalization. She barely promoted it, and the album — though it was certified platinum — was one of her least successful.

Yeah, basically the news report is a reiteration of release info that we already know but we do now have a premiere date for the Womanizer music video. Set your DVRs, y’all :)
