New Britney Pictures!

Britney is seen here leaving Dominick's last night with her assistant Brett and some other chick after dinner. Look at how blonde she is now! She's so confusing --- one day she's brunette, then caramel, then blonde, then brunette, then blonde. Haha bored Britney = new hair styles. And why is she wearing Oscar the Grouch on her sleeves? Kiddin. She looks nice!

X17 XCLUSIVE - Britney Smiles!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

Is the old Britney back, y'all?

Britney had a girl's night out last night, going to dinner at Dominick's in West Hollywood with a group of friends (assistants?). Britney looked as if she was enjoying herself for the first time in a long time.

Whether it's her well-received return to the small screen, the fact that she might be closer to appealing her conservatorship, or just that she enjoyed a night out with the girls, it's great to see her smiling again!

Looks like Brit's rockin' the new, wide-leg jean style!

She's definitely looking healthier, too.

Whatever the reason, it's just great to see her happy again. I just hope no one told her about that South Park episode, though!

Brit Sings in Church? Get the Flock Outta Here!

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

A report from overseas says that Britney Spears is going to sing at Mel Gibson's church next month. As funny as it sounds, it just ain't true.

Brit would perform a "gospel-style number" for Mel and his parishioners, according to the Mirror. The paper even quotes a source that says Britney might "have a new song written for her for the occasion."

But Mel's rep tells us there isn't "an ounce of truth to it." Looks like she'll have to find salvation another way.

Brit Brit: The Cure for Global Warming?

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

Instead of putting Britney's wardrobe from "How I Met Your Mother" in a HAZMAT bag and burying it in the desert -- her rags are being auctioned off for an organization that's all about the environment.

The half-dozen items worn by the popwreck-in-repair are part of an online auction that will benefit the Natural Resources Defense Council. The auction begins Monday night -- right after the Spears episode hits the airwaves.

No word on if panties are included, but given Brit's fashion history -- we're guessing there aren't any to give away.

Ryan - I Never Boinked Britney!

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

Ryan Phillippe says that he never did it with Britney Spears last year – or any of a slew of starlets he was rumored to have hooked up with after his divorce from Reese Witherspoon.

Under stiff interrogation from Howard Stern on his radio show, as Us reports, Ryan denied having made out with the Britster, and also nixed any notion that he had hooked up with Ashlee Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, or Angelina Jolie. But he did admit that Lindsay Lohan "wanted" him.

Meanwhile, in the realm of real relationships, Ryan acknowledged that Reese's boy Jake is "a good dude" and says he wants his ex "to be happy, and it seems like she is."

Dad will force Brit to quit LA

The following italicized article is from www.thesun.co.uk:

TROUBLED BRITNEY SPEARS’ family are to force her to quit LA and return to Louisiana.

Her dad JAMIE SPEARS, who was recently granted control of her affairs, plans to take her back to the family home away from “bad influences”.

He will file a court request to get Britney, 26, away from the clubs, drugs — and cheating ex-lover ADNAN GHALIB.

A Spears family source said: “Britney has been feeling lonely and isolated since her dad has taken control of her life.

“He hopes to take her back to Louisiana where she will be surrounded by her family. Jamie also hopes it will give her the chance to mend her troubled relationship with her mum and her more recent rift with her pregnant sister.

“And he hopes to keep her away from the negative LA scene and people who’ve been using her.”

In recent weeks the star has made a good recovery. She has remained off drugs and has been working on her next music video.

But her affairs will still be run by her dad and she is unable to see former manager SAM LUFTI who has been issued with a restraining order.

Britney still faces a driving without a licence charge in LA after being nabbed last August.

Britney's Bro Tackles the Trust Factor

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

Bryan Spears wants to know exactly what he's gotten himself into.

Britney Spear's 30-year-old brother and Ivan Taback, the attorney sharing cotrustee duties of Britney's SJB account, have filed a motion seeking to confirm that her living trust also owns the majority of the 26-year-old's various companies.

Taback helped Britney establish her trust in 2004, appointing her as the sole trustee, but in light of the pop star's recent hospitalization and loss of control of her estimated $100 million fortune to a conservatorship, a court commissioner named the lawyer and Bryan cotrustees.

A hearing is scheduled for Apr. 17. If Los Angeles Supreme Court Commissioner Reva Goetz approves their request, the SJB trust will be the confirmed owner of, among other Brit-centric companies, Britney Brands Inc., Britney Films Ltd., Britney Online Inc., Britney Television LLC and Fairy Zone Productions. (Britney Touring Inc., however, has already been turned over to father Jamie Spears as part of his responsibilities as coconservator, duties he shares with attorney Andrew Wallet.)

The trust already holds most of her financial assets, including hefty bank and brokerage accounts, but her interest in her companies was not automatically transferred, according to court documents filed Monday.

Bryan and Taback also state that some of said companies need immediate attending to, whether because they're conducting ongoing business, owe taxes or are parties to litigation, and ownership needs to be established.

Taback claims that he and his fellow trustee are well within their rights to petition for the transfer.

In 2004, "Britney confirmed to me her desire that all of her material financial assets, including…her right title and interest in and to all legal entities which she then owned, be transferred and vested in the trust," the attorney stated in a declaration included with Monday's filing.

Meanwhile, Jamie Spears' temporary conservatorship has been extended until at least July 31. He has been granted a $2,500 weekly allowance from his daughter's estate, plus a car allowance, while Britney gets $1,500 a week for "walking around" money, which does not have to be used for legal fees or other major bills.

Canadian Chart Update For The Week Ending Of March 21th

In the official single chart 'Break The Ice' rises 16 places to #30 in its 5th week on the chart.

Is The Business Of Britney In A Recession?

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

Britney Spears’ second release from the psych ward was a gold mine for the paparazzi.

Between tabloids, her recording career and her life in general, the revenue generated from all things Britney brought in up to $120 million in the past year. But now that Britney is staying home, is the business of Britney in a recession?

"Since her father has her under his control, we certainly haven't seen the number of photos that we used to see coming in of Britney," X-17 co-owner Brandy Navarre told Access Hollywood. "The subject of the photo is just not as interesting as it once was, so the prices do go down."

X-17 saw a 10 percent increase in overall profits with the help of exclusive photos like bald Britney, which made them a half-million dollars.

Now, with the pop star’s recent cleaned-up behavior, the amount of Britney pictures are way down – from more than 1,000 a day to a couple hundred, forcing the photo agency to change focus.

"It’s a different game now," Navarre explained. "It's a different challenge. We're moving on to other celebrities like Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie and] Jamie Lynn Spears. We’ve moved on to Britney’s sister."

Needles to say, Britney has shifted in priority.

"We had as many as maybe10 photographers chasing after her. Now we have probably three or four photographers working on her at any given time," she said.

And Spears’ gated community is empty these days. The main road once littered with paparazzi is a much different scene now that Britney’s dad, Jamie, has taken charge.

"After he took over the conservatorship, it got really, really slow for us," Britney’s trusted paparazzo friend Felipe said.

He was scheduled to follow Britney daily, from 4 PM to 4 AM, but has since undergone a dramatic shift change.

"She's not going out at night as much as she used to … you know I started working the daytime between 11 AM to 11 PM," he said.

OK! magazine features editor Rob Chilton has noticed the change in his magazine’s focus, as well.

"There are fewer shots now of Britney doing crazy things," Chilton told Access. "Now we're seeing a more stable, more calm Britney so there are less shocking stories about Britney these days."


As for Us Weekly, Britney was only on the cover once in the last six weeks, a far cry from last September through mid-February. Then, around the time of her custody battle and hospitalizations, Britney was Us Weekly's hot topic in 23 out of 24 issues.

And with no Britney scandal to report, this week’s tabs feature Britney-free covers.

But there is proof that Spears still sells. TV Guide put "Tudors" star Jonathan Rhys-Meyers on the cover of the new issue mailed to subscribers, but chose to put Britney on the cover of the issue available on newsstands in an attempt to boost sales.

"People want to read about Britney," Chilton said. "There is still that fascination with her whether it's good or bad."

Prosecutors Refuse to Drop Driving Charges Against Britney Spears

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

Prosecutors refused to drop driving without a license charges against Britney Spears on Thursday.

Her lawyer Charlie Unger had pleaded that Spears, 26, "seems to be getting her life together. She has nothing on her record other than the infraction-type tickets we all get."

But Los Angeles city attorney Michael Amerian said Spears' hit-and-run charge had already been dropped from the incident last August when her Mercedes hit a parked car.

Pursuing the driving without a license charges, Amerian argued, is "the fairest way to treat her. [We're] not affected by her celebrity status."

The case will continue June 18.

Spears' attorney, Unger, told Access Hollywood, "We’re still hoping we can work this all out."

The End Of Britney Mania!

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

The B!tch Replies: What Britneymania? Ever since daddy Jamie took away Britney's stumbling permit and strapped her into a $1,500-a-week spending limit, the minute-by-minute coverage of the pop star's meltdowns has died down considerably.

Aside from that scintillating news about her driver's license trial being postponed, shocking details about her having soup for dinner, some incident involving Mel Gibson and the South Park episode itself, we got nothing. At least, not this very second.

Still, this B!tch has compiled a list of what might make Britney's media interest go away completely, leaving the worst-case-scenario—Spoiler Alert!—for the South Park guys. Here are the rest:

1. Miley Cyrus: A suddenly very warped, drunk and preferably pregnant Miley Cyrus—a Miley who has dropped the well-scrubbed hillbilly family routine, dipped herself in a massive vat of glitter-caked Vaseline and engaged in decidedly un-Disneylike relations on video with some or, preferably all, members of the Jonas clan.

"We'd need a shift in spotlight to someone else who people find even more interesting right now," says Kirk Olson, vice president of the trend research firm Iconoculture. "And the only person who fits is Miley Cyrus."

2. More money, less war: Seriously. Americans always gravitate toward salacious gossip and light news when they're feeling insecure and crave escape, Olson says. We also like to see other people fail whenever our money is running low and our death tolls are high. "In times that are uncertain, consumers gravitate toward this icon-toppling behavior," Olson tells this B!tch.

3. Britney turns into Carrie Underwood: And it bores us into fleeing.

4. Nothing: "I don't think the interest is ever going to go away," says MediaWeek's Lucia Moses. "Sociologically speaking, celebrity seems to answer an inner need for people. I do think we've naturally reached a limit of media outlets covering the subject, though."

That's a comfort. Sort of. Not.
