Britney's AmEx -- Don't Leave Home, Period!

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

TMZ has obtained court documents filed today, which include a list of Britney Spears' American Express card expenses for the first 11 months of her conservatorship -- the highlight ... she ate at home a lot.

Miss Brit spent a grand total of $5,183.13 at restaurants. Our Britney people tell us the figure is relatively low -- for her -- because daddy Jamie is a cook and did his thing at her house most nights.

As for other expenses on the AmEx card:

Entertainment: $482.15
Furniture: $17,370.29
Charities: $974.75 (remember, this is just her credit card -- we're told more was donated).
Merchandise, clothing, supplies and groceries: $62,252.11
Transportation/Auto: $18,959.82
Travel: $10,096.53
Communications: $2,150.41

Britney Spears Makes a Spectacle of Herself at Don (in a Good Way)

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

One doesn't go to a Britney Spears concert for the music. Or the singing. You go for the spectacle.

You should have gone Monday night.

Talk about sensory overload.

Her "The Circus Starring Britney Spears," which packed the Don Haskins Center with nearly 12,000 people, is by far the recovering pop star's most lavish extravaganza yet, trotting out acrobats, gymnasts, circus clowns, musicians and a cadre of well-chiseled dancers on an ingenious stage set that simulates a freakish three-ring throwdown, complete with one big and two smaller, adjoining stages that filled the arena floor and looked like giant bullseyes.

The image is appropriate. Spears either sees herself as a victim of prowling paparazzi and a media infatuated with her every destructive move, seemingly unaware or unwilling to admit that those addicted to the spotlight often bring a lot of that bad voodoo on themselves.

"Circus" is Spears' reclamation tour, her stab at not only making a lot of money and resurrecting her once-sagging career, but a chance to dazzle her fans and reshape her battered image. Let's face it, before dad Jamie Spears took over her career last year, the former teen pop princess was on the road to nowhere.

He's got her back on track, supporting "Circus," a decent album of club-infused techno pop, with a lavish, over-the-top show that packs more costume changes, choreography and edgy beats-per-minute dance thump into 100 minutes than you're likely to see anywhere, much less El Paso, a sizable city that rarely hosts a top-grossing tour of the year like this one.

The fans couldn't have appeared happier. The largely young, largely female crowd seemed to eat it all up, saving its most enthusiastic applause for the final "Electro Circ" third of the show, when Spears, her invisible band (including former El Pasoan Johnny Najera on guitar) and cadre of dancers worked up some drastically reworked, clubbier versions of "I'm a Slave 4 U," "Toxic," one of her best hits, and "... Baby One More Time," her first hit.

The stage, created in part by El Paso's Steve Dixon (her tour director), is just the right vehicle for an over-the-big-top artist. Its three surfaces give Spears, who deserves a medal for dancing so well on high heels throughout the show, plenty of area with which to work the room while showcasing what she does best - dance.

The show's got a lot of eye-popping razzle dazzle and high-speed, high-flexibility dance moves, including a fun, lightly Bollywood version of "Me Against the Music."

Spears was largely muted through the show, rarely addressing the crowd. But she takes some serious chances, focusing mostly on material from her last two albums, not the lot of them, and serving up drastically reworked versions of her most familiar songs. She also stopped the proceedings long enough to thank the cheering crowd and offer up a rare live vocal on "Everytime," a ballad she butchered four years ago on her last tour, but nailed Monday night.

The show started on time and worked like clockwork Monday. Kristiana DeBarge got the crowd going with a very brief, two song set that included her club hit "Goodbye," followed by 2007 "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks, a big-voiced singer who's still growing into the performer's role, but is a much more confident and powerful singer than she used to be.

Spears may not sing live much in the show, a blessing for those of us who appreciate a good voice like Sparks', but it's obvious that she's growing comfortable in her 27-year-old skin. Like I said before, you don't go to one of her shows for the singing. You go for the spectacle, and on Monday night she delivered big time.

Meeting Britney : Life Mission Completed!

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

So it finally happend . . . I MET BRITNEY SPEARS! Aye, I still can’t believe that it even happened. My hands still tremble as I try to remember it so i can write it all out for you to read. Here are the deets!

The Contest.

KISS FM, in Des Moines, was holding a contest to meet Britney while she was in town for her show and so I thought I would try my luck and enter on the last day of the contest. I had to write why I wanted to meet Britney and it could only be 1000 characters long. At first, I was afraid that I couldn’t compress everything that I wanted to say into two short paragraphs, but I did my best and sent it in. I remember thinking that I probably wouldn’t win and I didn’t even say a prayer.

The Call.

The contest ended a week before Britney’s Circus show and I was casually checking my email everyday the week of her show just to re-assure myself that I hadn’t won. It was Thursday and I still hadn’t gotten an email and I was sure that I didn’t win because the concert was the next day. So I just let it slip my mind for the rest of the day.

I had left my phone on vibrate in my school bag and after dinner I decided to check it to see if I got any texts from my friend, Michi. Instead, I found two missed calls from a number that I didn’t know and a voicemail. I didn’t think anything of it but I decided to check the voicemail and I heard . . . “This is Greg Chace with KISS FM . . .” I immediately hung up and called the uknown number, I didn’t even listen to the rest of the message. I knew exactly why they were calling me.

Greg Chace answered and I blurted out “HI, MY NAME IS DANIEL HODAPP! YOU CALLED ME? WAS IT ABOUT BRITNEY?” He asked me a series of questions that only a person who read my contest entry would know. I answered “YES” to every question and then he asked me the final question “Are you going to freak out when you meet her tomorrow?” All I could manage to say was “HUH?, WHAT?, ARE YOUR KIDDING ME?, SERIOUSLY?, OMG! . . . OMG!”, while jumping up and down like a lil girl. After the call, I was trembling and couldn’t move for like 5 minutes. Then, I proceeded to call everyone on my speed dial and spread the good news.

Best day of my life.

I woke up and started my usual daily routine of getting ready and then, while I was brushing my teeth, it hit me! I was going to meet BRITNEY SPEARS TODAY! A wave of nerves came over me and I judged whether or not to attend class that day or just stay home and prepare myself. I decided to go to class like a good student and I ended up telling everyone that I interacted with that day that I was going to meet Britney. I couldn’t help telling people but no one seemed to mind so I just kept telling my story over and over lol.

I was finished with class at 3PM so that left me about four hours to get my ass ready and down to Wells Fargo Arena. I ended up getting to the venue way early but who could really blame me, right? I paced nervously around the lobby until I spotted the other contest winner, Ashley. We both still couldn’t believe that we were mere minutes away from meeting Britney. We met with Brit’s promo rep and she instructed us to meet her after Jordin Spark’s opening performance on the floor of the arena . I took my seat and half watched Jordin’s performance and just preparing myself mentally. I didn’t know what to expect.

When Jordin was done, I downed a bottle of Mike’s Hard lemonade and proceeded to the floor to meet Britney’s rep. Ashley and I found our way to floor and met two other couples from other cities and states. The rep appeared from under the stage and asked us if we were ready to go backstage. We all said yes at the same time lol. I felt like the “choosen one” while walking around the floor of the arena to the backstage area. It was the best feeling ever!

While backstage, I got to meet Britney’s tour manager, Adam Leber, some of her tour assistants, circus clowns, a wee man, and Jason (Brit’s rumored BF).

And then it happened. The security guards announced that “the boss” was coming through and then the door of Britney’s dressing room opened. My face lit up when I saw Britney emerge from the room. I was beeming . . . I had forgotten what I was going to say to her. . . I forgot about Ashley . . . I managed to say that My brother and I were huge fans, to which she replyed, “Aw, you guys are very sweet” “Lets take a picture” and then we posed and I told her “thanks so much” and she replied ” No problem, enjoy the show!”

It happened so fast that I felt like it was a dream. Ashley broke down after we left Britney’s sight and I had to pull her together and tell her that everything is okay and that this is nothing to cry about and to be happy. I was shocked that I didn’t pass out or just flip out. I was calm, cool, and collected. I guess that lemonade helped a lot LOL.

I know . . . I know . . . I wrote a novel. . . but can you really blame me? I think not!

Yoko Ono: Britney Spears Is a Survivor

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

Britney Spears has come a long way, but Yoko Ono, John Lennon's 76-year-old widow, thinks the pop star deserves more respect.

"I think that the world was not fair to her, and they're just using her and not dignifying her," she told Usmagazine.com at the ThreeAsFour Homage to Yoko Ono on Thursday in NYC.

Up until last year, headlines bearing Spears' name reported on her bizarre psychotic behaviors, drug use, and a tumultuous custody battle with ex Kevin Federline over her two sons, Sean Preston, 4, and Jayden James, 3.

Now, Spears, 27, is hard at work promoting her sixth album, Circus, on a sold-out international tour.

"I think she's a survivor and she's doing very well," Ono told Us.

David Flynn, an Assistant Professor at UND says about one-third of the tickets were sold to Canadians who probably spent $500-thousand dollar on hotel rooms, shopping and restaurants over the weekend.

Spears' "Big Apple Circus" Comes to Town

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

A legless woman and a bald man traded tricks on a trampoline. A midget ringleader shouted encouragement from the sideline. Martial artists kicked and flipped in unison.

A near-capacity audience hooted with disbelief as a gymnast flipped and jumped on an inches-wide balance beam.

Then things got more surreal.

Nearly 10 minutes into Spears’ Tuesday night show at Tulsa’s BOK Center, the main attraction herself descended from the ceiling into the center of a gyrating circus.

Spears was nearly lost in the mix. Her dancing, caged animal routine was sexy, but the masked men who danced around her wheeled golden cage during “Piece of Me” stole the show.

By stomping her heels and strutting across the stage in glittered bombast, she stole it right back.

The evening’s show was an over-the-top big top performance in every way. It had to be. Spears is larger than life. Everything about her is gilded and glitzy, over-hyped and hyperspeed. Her “Circus” tour show showcases those traits.

The three-ring spectacle was filled with live choreography — Spears as its sultry ringleader, if not its full-time singer.

The five-act legion of illusion and bewitchment wasn’t the only sleight-of-hand Tuesday night. Much of her set was lip-synched — and Spears was too busy dancing and contorting to be bothered with concealing it.

The lack of “live” singing at a concert is controversial for many, but not for this crowd. The fans came to be entertained.

A magician appeared to cut the star into pieces and then made her lingerie-clad form disappear while she lip-synched and shimmied to “Ooh Ooh Baby” and “Hot as Ice.”

And then there was another costume change and another hippodrome-ready vision of pomp and grandeur.

Half a dozen gold-plated low-rider bicycles rolled in. Dancers enveloped Spears, and then — a solo.

She covered Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” sans fanfare, nearly alone on stage and dressed in rocker black spandex pants and bikini top. She traipsed out from the circus and into a house of fun.

Quite possibly the largest crowd response came with her live version of “Everytime” as she sat perched in a shimmering bird seat.

Following that song, she skipped, cat-like, into another costume change and into songs “Freakshow” and “Get Naked.”

Masked men gave way to more than a dozen dancers on golden couches. “Breathe on Me” and “Touch of My Hand” followed in an electrified freakshow-peepshow segment.

That morphed into metallic props and welding sparks as a leather-wearing troupe launched into a tattoo and boom-beat segment with “Do Something,” “Toxic” and a street-tough, amped-dance version of “Baby One More Time.”

The live band was lost in the pits for most of the show but gained momentum toward the end of the concert. The organic sound of beating drums and wailing guitars added a sense of humanity — even if it was surreally Technicolored.

But, all that said, even with the sex, the innuendo, the crassness, the bombast and the million-dollar production, there’s still a subtle naïveté about Spears and her stage presence. It peeks from beneath her curtain of hair extensions and her torrid lash-batting, but it’s there.

She didn’t command her audience — but that seemed OK because everyone was already along for the ride.

In many ways, Spears is still the child-like Disney Musketeer. She’s choreographed; she’s beautiful; and her timing’s perfect.

Maybe that’s why, weirdly, it all worked.

Britney Spears Celebrates VMA Win

The following italicized article is from www.celebrity-gossip.net:

It’s no secret that she’s experiencing one of the greatest career comebacks in recent memory, and last night (September 13) Britney Spears nabbed the MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video.

The “Gimme More” songstress was unable to personally attend the shindig, held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, so she appeared via satellite to say thanks.

Miss Spears was surrounded by the cast of her Circus world tour as she gave her acceptance speech, proudly holding the golden moonman and smiling from ear to ear.

The night before, Britney was busy rocking the stage at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota as she continues her non-stop touring schedule.

Britney Wins Best Pop Video @ VMA's

Britney Spears Gets Naked (Again) In VMA-Nominated 'Womanizer' Clip

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

Picture it: you, Britney Spears, a sweaty sauna, and nothing else between you. Like the body-hugging sparkly catsuit in "Toxic" that got tongues wagging, veteran video director Joseph Kahn knew the sight of Britney lounging in a sauna in the "Womanizer" clip would set off a buzz bomb.

Mission accomplished. Like his work on Eminem's "We Made You," which is also nominated for Video of the Year at Sunday's 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, "Womanizer" was the first clip from a crucial comeback album for Britney and Kahn was behind the camera to make sure it went smoothly.

As Kahn has said, he approached "Womanizer" not so much as a sequel to "Toxic," but as an answer to that clip. "I had no idea what the song was going to be, so I had no ideas when I met her about what we would do," said Kahn. "She had a basis of an idea to make a 'Toxic 2.' There are things she's really good at, like having a really natural knack for knowing what girls want."

While his previous collaborations with Spears on "Toxic" had a revenge-on-a-boy scenario, and "Stronger" bore an empowerment message, in "Womanizer" Britney was interested in exploring what her man was doing when he was cheating on her by showing up in different tempting outfits. "It's just a great girl fantasy," Kahn said of the concept for the video, in which Spears portrays a handful of forceful, hyperstylized characters. "The problem was we only had two days to shoot it and it involved multiple costume changes, multiple locations and Britney could only work 12 hours a day."

That meant Kahn had to hustle even more than usual, so he said he was, literally, running around the Los Angeles sets like a maniac, plotting out every second of the shoot like an Army lieutenant.

Although the hectic schedule was a white-knuckle grind, Kahn admitted that one aspect of the shoot was no hassle at all. "That was definitely an interesting thing to bring up," he said of his suggestion to Spears that they film a scenario in which she (barely) covers her naked, sweaty body with just her hands while lounging in a sauna. "I knew that the whole world would be watching, so I wanted something in there that stated, 'This is Britney, this is why you should respect her.' "

Despite the idea of seeking respect through nudity seeming counterintuitive, Kahn explained that he was so angry about how Spears had been attacked over the previous years for her yo-yo-ing weight that he wanted to quash all that talk by ... well, in his own words, "If she was a car with a paint job, I was going to show off the paint job. It was a way for her to gain back her body and smash all those shallow jokes."

As with "Toxic," Kahn had to clear everyone off the set when the time came to shoot the scene, leaving just him and Britney alone for two hours. "We worked together on each costume in the video and we went into a costuming session where she played dress-up for a while," he said, explaining the different sexy looks Britney shows off in the video. "She walks out in different outfits and I'm like, 'Let's try the striped shirt.' I'm sitting there thinking, 'I can't believe they pay me for this. I probably have the best job in the world!' Even Obama would want my job."

Tweet: Mom Finds Britney Spears Tickets!

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

A multi-city scavenger hunt to find Britney Spears tickets led dozens to an Urbandale park on Friday.

Spears' team and a local radio station posted clues as to where to find the tickets on Twitter. The prize was VIP ring-side seats at the singer's concert Friday night at Wells Fargo Arena.

One clue read, "Look close to the center of the city and you'll find a card, the size of a drivers license so you better look hard." Another Tweet read, "Hopefully you have 'EAGLE' eyes; because you'll have to look high and low for this surprise." Around noon another Tweet appeared," The circus will be fun, we're not lion...remember you're looking for a little card...we know where we'd be tryin." Tweets also hinted at a city that starts with "U", a circus animal statue and tennis and basketball.

The Tweets started around 8 a.m. and by 1:40 p.m. Kathy Knoetfler had found the treasure.

Knoetfler found a laminated card jammed under a picnic table at Lions Park in Urbandale at 72nd Street and Aurora Avenue. The card read, "congratulations you have won tickets to Britney Spears circus tour" and included a phone number to call.

Knoetfler was called to the park by her daughter, Madison, and son, Jackson, who were in the park about 30 minutes before mom found the prize.

Madison, a senior at Dowling High School, said she was thrilled to get the tickets. The family didn't yet have tickets to the concert.

Britney Spears Gets in Some Shopping Before Leaving Chicago

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

Britney Spears can thank Oprah and U2 for the lack of buzz surrounding her visit to Chicago this week. The talk show host and Irish rock band stole most of the headlines, making Spears somewhat of an afterthought.

The lack of Britney buzz was also due, in part, to her low-key lifestyle these days. Or at least low-key by Spears' standards. There were no outrageous club stories or panty-less pictures, just a couple of sightings at downtown restaurants and a visit to Bloomingdales.

On Wednesday, Spears ate at Bistro 110 with her two sons before performing at the Allstate Arena. The following night, she had dinner with her kids at Baisi Thai, which is located on the 6th floor of The 900 Shops. Spears ordered sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour shrimp and broccoli and beef -- or as the Chinese place down the street from me likes to call it, the No. 105, the No. 106 and the always popular No. 85.

After dinner, Spears stopped by Bloomingdales and bought a few things from the children's department.

Ode To B Fans

Y'all keep shouting, "Gimme, gimme, gimme more,"
But little do ya know, some surprises are in store.

No matter how many gallons of Celebrity Juice you drink,
There's more around the corner, so much more than you think.

So please quit breathing heavy, I hate to hear you sigh,
I know I drive you crazy... oops! I did it again, didn't I?

As much as I lov3 contests, that isn't what this is about,
I'll tell you soon enough, 'cause I hate seeing B fans pout.

Now listen very closely, turn your radar up on high,
It's something fr3sh and new, ok? I'd never tell a lie.

So sit back and relax, be patient one more tim3,
The answer can be found within this little rhyme.

Celeb Fragrances Are Down...Except for One Person

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

Celebrity names can sell loads of stuff, but these days, they’re stinking up the perfume business.

Indeed, sales of celebrity-branded fragrances are going out of favor faster than the last Britney Spears single, according to TheStreet.com.

Some of the decline, experts suggest, is because consumers may be embarrassed to use a celebrity fragrance.

“On blind scent tests many of these fragrances test extremely well; they're designed to be the least offensive and offer the broadest appeal,” Karen Grant of the market research firm NPD Group told TheStreet.com. “But when a celebrity is associated with it, you see a different reaction.”

Fragrance peddler Parlux France relies heavily on its celebrity branded scents and has taken a hit for it. The company produces Queen Latifah’s Queen, Jessica Simpson’s Fancy and Fancy Love, Andy Roddick's Andy Roddick and all of Paris Hilton's many fragrances (Paris Hilton, Paris Hilton for Men, Heir, Heiress, Just Me, Can Can, Fairy Dust and Siren).

The company lost $4.3 million last year and $2.5 in the second quarter of this year alone.
While the prestige fragrance market as a whole is down 10% from last year, Britney Spears is one celeb who appears to be bucking the odds.

Sales of her fragrances - Fantasy Britney Spears, Britney Spears Believe, Curious Britney Spears and Curious in Control Britney Spears - rose 13% in the June quarter. Elizabeth Arden, the company behind the ageing pop tart's perfumes, just brought out Circus Fantasy, named after her latest tour and album.

Then again, she’s global.

“More than half of the sales of Britney brands were sold of outside of North America,” said an Arden company spokesman.
