Alleged Britney Stalker Says it Was a Joke
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:File this under "yeah right": The woman arrested by police yesterday outside Britney Spears' home peering into her windows with a video camera, Miranda Tozier-Robbins, says the whole thing was a joke.
“The whole thing — it was all a joke in the beginning, everybody knew about it," Tozier-Robbins, 26 tells Access Hollywood. “It was supposed to be like a ‘Paparazzi 101’ documentary type deal.”
Despite being clothed in a camouflage outfit, she says she decided to trespass on Brit's Calabasas, Calif. property on the spur of the moment.
“What originally was supposed to happen was, I was going to tape whatever I could get. I would be like, far away doing a stakeout,” Tozier-Robbins told host Billy Bush. “It didn’t work out as planned, so when I was already halfway there in the mountains [around Britney’s home], it was already Wednesday night/Thursday morning ... I already knew Britney herself wouldn’t be there, but it’s like, I came that far, I might as well go see the house, at least get the house on tape, because I know people would be interested in seeing stuff like that.”
Oh sure, might as well! “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, you understand? She’s coming through on the tour, on the stop, it’s like take your chance. Take the opportunity, do it,” she laughed.
Laughing, that's a good one! We're sure the judge will accept that.
Even if the whole thing was a "joke," Tozier-Robbins is just fine with being called a stalker.
“Yeah, sure. That would be a fair term to use. Tracking, stalking, whatever, for a couple weeks long,” she said. “It wasn’t really stalking her, it was more plotting out how to get to her house.”
And the difference is...?
According to reports, Tozier-Robbins auditioned for American Idol in the past, and one time sang Brit's song "Everytime." Cue the creepy music.

Britney To Play In Ireland?
The following italicized article is from www.independent.ie:Britney Spears is set to announce two monster Irish summer gigs.
It has been reported that final negotiations are under way to bring her to Dublin this summer for several huge gigs in the RDS.
Her concerts in America have been going down a storm as she performs a string of 49 smash-hit dates as part of her Circus comeback tour.
It is now widely speculated that the pop princess will add Irish tour dates to the end of her British tour, which consists of 8 gigs this June. "It's more a case of when and not if," said an insider. "She'll be playing a load of dates in London's O2 in June so the general belief is that she'll also be adding two Irish performances to her tour.
"Her management team know they'll have no problem selling tickets for her show in Ireland as she's so popular over here, so it's a bit of a no-brainer. She performed at the RDS the last time and she thought it was an amazing venue and suited her kind of show perfectly."
Spears’ lawyers recently discussed the prospect of expanding the performances to include Australia and extra dates in Europe. She is expected to get the go-ahead to play Melbourne and Sydney along with several other locations as she continues to re-ignite her pop career.
Britney has hardly been out of the headlines in the past 3 years. She suffered a complete meltdown which resulted in her being admitted to hospital, and losing custody of her two young boys to her ex-husband Kevin Federline. Although now she is being hailed as making one of the most impressive comebacks ever, with fans giving her standing ovations.
However, if Irish fans are hoping to see her perform in a few months time, they better start saving up their cents now if the English prices are anything to go by.
For tickets at her London gigs prices start at £49 (€55) and go as high as £1,300 for two VIP passes, which get you a backstage tour and ‘ringside seats’.
As well as getting a birds-eye view of Britney's performance, you'll also get VIP parking, finger buffet and drinks and various gifts and goodies.

Britney Chirps Off L.A. Drivers
The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:How does Britney Spears get off using motorcycle officers to clear a path on an L.A. freeway during rush hour so she can get to a concert and lip-sync?
Britney foot the bill for a CHP escort yesterday that took her 28 miles, from Calabasas to the Staples Center in Downtown L.A. TMZ's news manager was on the 101 freeway at around 6 PM -- about four miles north of Staples -- when he heard the chirping honk of a motorcycle, directing him to move the hell over so Britney's motorcade could steamroll by.
How can officers use horns and flashing lights to clear a path in a non-emergency? That's what we wanted to know. So we called a CHP official who said the Department provides the same service for the President, Rose Bowl teams, for movie details, etc.
But what about officers chirping off other drivers to clear a path? The official said the officers "can use the tools at their disposal, including lights and sirens, to expedite the flow of traffic and ensure safety."

Woman Arrested for Peeping into Britney's House
The following italicized article is from www.tmz.com:A woman decked out in camouflage fatigues -- and carrying a backpack and video camera -- was arrested this morning for sneaking into Britney Spears' private Calabasas community and peering into the windows of her home.
The whole thing went down around 10:50 this morning when private security noticed 26-year-old Miranda Tozier-Robbins acting suspicious outside of the home. According to the incident report, security asked her to leave, but the woman "balked at their requests" and had to be physically escorted off the property.
Sheriffs arrived shortly after and took her to a local station where she was booked on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Bail was set at $5,000, but she was released on a citation to appear in court on June 16.
We're told Britney was not home at the time, but she is in town this week -- playing the Staples Center in Los Angeles tonight and tomorrow.

Woman Arrested for Trespassing on Britney Spears' Property
The following italicized article is from www.usmagazine.com:A woman was arrested Thursday morning for sneaking into Britney Spears' private property in Calabasas and peeping inside the windows of her home, Usmagazine.com confirms.
The woman, identified as 26-year-old Miranda Tozier-Robbins, was wearing camouflage fatigues and carrying a backpack and video camera when private security noticed her trespassing into the community, which Spears moved into in January.
Tozier-Robbins is likely a fan of Spears, as a woman by the same name has left comments on Britney Spears' official site as recently as April 11.
Security personnel asked her to leave, but the woman "balked at their requests" and had to be physically escorted off the property, according to the police report.
Sheriffs arrived shortly after and physically escorted her off the property. They then took her to a local station where she was booked on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Bail was set at $5,000, but she was released on a citation.
Tozier-Robbins -- who resides in the Inglewood, Calif., neighborhood -- will appear in court on June 16.
Spears -- who moved into the $8.9 million Prado De Los Suenos house in The Oaks community in Calabasas -- was not home at the time. The pop star, however, is currently in town for a performance from her Circus tour at L.A.'s Staples Center on Thursday evening.

Britney Spears Responsible For Mel Gibson’s Divorce?
The following italicized article is from www.showbizspy.com:Is Britney Spears responsible for Mel Gibson’s marriage problems?
British tabloid the Daily Mirror seems to think so!
“Mel invited Britney to his estate to offer a place of respite,” a source tells the paper, referring to when Gibson asked Spears to join him and his wife in Costa Rica in 2008. “He also took her for dinner in LA. But the innuendo and whispers got to Robyn. She had to get out and this meant divorce.
“Robyn doesn’t believe anything happened but thought it odd a 50-something man struck a friendship with someone so young. She was aware what people might be thinking and wasn’t very happy to say the least.”
Gibson announced last week that he and Robyn — his wife of almost 28 years — had filed for divorce. She’ll likely get 50% of his $900 million fortune.

Britney Spears Brings A Circus To Town -- And She's The Ringmaster
The following italicized article is from www.sltrib.com:People afraid of clowns should avoid Britney Spears' Circus Tour on Tuesday at EnergySolutions Arena.
Menacing "sado-clowns," inspired by sadomasochism, are just some of the dancers/characters who will take the stage alongside Spears in a circus that definitely isn't Barnum & Bailey-issue.
Responsible for costuming the unique characters, as well as Spears, are the Canadian identical twins Dean and Dan Caten. Their design company, DSQUARED, has previously dressed Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake for concert tours. "We've been hoping to work with [Spears] for some time," said Dan Caten in a Salt Lake Tribune interview.
Designing the costumes for Spears' tour is right up the Catens' back alley. The brothers have been known for their provocative ideas since their Milan debut in 1995, and said they were intrigued by the tour's concept of a circus. That theme is drawn from Spears' latest album, titled "Circus."
The title track includes such lines as:
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dance floor just like a circus
"It is a sexualized modern circus," Caten said of the show. "We love contrast. It's taking a new light on a familiar thing."
Perhaps an expected strategy for the controversial singer, now 27, whose latest single, "If You Seek Amy," sounds like an expressionchise that can't be printed in a family newspaper. Setting aside tabloid escapades, that blurring of the line between innocence and decadence has been part of the singer's performing persona since her first video, "... Baby One More Time," was released in 1999. In the infamous video, the then-17-year-old bared her cleavage, midriff and pigtails in a schoolgirl's uniform.
To design costumes for the tour, the Catens collected ideas from Spears, then added their own brainstorms and sketches to the mix. The first costume designed by DSQUARED is inspired by the idea of a seductive lion-tamer.
Caten said he wanted the costume to make Spears appear as the beast and the ringmaster simultaneously, so the brothers designed a red jacket with royal blue cuffs and gold braided details. They added flowing animal hair to the jacket's shoulders and topped everything off with a replica cheetah head adorned with black tulle and ostrich feathers.
When the outfit is completed with fishnets, lace-up boots and a whip, ringmaster Spears will be an antithesis of family-friendly Bello Nock, the head clown of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The sexual allure of the costume is important because it equates to showmanship, according to Caten.
Spears' second costume lies underneath her first and further transforms the singer. After peeling off her ringmaster costume, she reveals herself to be a sexy dominatrix. In a three-piece vixen corset and panty set enriched with Swarovski crystals and draped chiffon, she is thrown into a cage with muzzled, leather-clad sex slaves, a tableau that Caten labeled "erotic."
Those are just the first two costumes. Other characters through the show include the aforementioned "sado-clowns," Parisian balancing acts, "salacious centaurs" and "chiseled and chained Houdini men," according to the Catens.
One thing the designers had to keep in mind is that they were designing a stage show, not a runway show. The outfits Spears and her dancers wear use stretch fabric such as Lycra so that even in the most elaborate costumes, movement isn't hindered.
The overall effect, the designer said, is to take the audience out of the real world and catapult them into an alternate reality that's edgy and sensual. "We want people in the 200th row to get some impact," Caten said.
"I'm truly impressed at the spectacle," said Nicole Sherzinger, leader of the opening act, the Pussycat Dolls, who for once won't provide the most revealing eye candy in the arena.

Bad Economy May Fold Britney Spears's Circus Tent
The following italicized article is from www.people.com:Will the show go on?
Britney Spears's father has been seeking permission from a judge to expand the pop star's current Circus tour – but the dour economy may hamper those plans, it was revealed in a Los Angeles courtroom Tuesday.
The pop star, 27, is halfway into a 49-show tour through the U.S., Canada and the UK, with hopes to add more dates through Europe, Australia and a possible second U.S. tour.
"It hasn't yet been determined whether it's feasible to expand tours to the Europe or Australia legs," L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said following a closed-door discussion with Jamie and his lawyers.
"That will be determined in the future after everyone's seen the analysis, in terms of the economy and value of the dollar," Goetz added.
Jamie and another lawyer hold indefinite legal control over his daughter following her two forced hospitalizations last year.
"Britney's loving being onstage again," says a source close to the singer. "Health-wise, she's progressing every week, it's amazing. Britney was the single force for wanting to go on tour in the first place."

Britney Fans Shear for Spears
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:So you think you're a Britney Spears fan, eh? But really, how far – or short – would you go to win free tickets to one of her shows on the Circus tour?
Well Austin and Michelle of Visalia, Calif. nabbed their freebies to the April 16 L.A. show by shaving their heads in the "Shears for Spears" radio contest on their local station, Q97, and now they're on her official site as well.
The couple only shaved a section of their locks off, which makes us wonder if they'll complete the pre-conservator Brit look later, just to even things out.
