Gaga’s Song Recorded In 2 hours

Lady Gaga confirms on a Youtube video, that the song she wrote for Britney was originally made for herself. In a short interview she is asked “Hows that going? How are you thinking to be working with Britney?” GaGa replies “Well, I actually recorded the song for myself.. Larry Rudolph came in to say hello, he’s her manager, he heard the record that I did, and he was like ‘who the hell is this? Britney’s gotta sing this” Britney recorded the song in no time as GaGa explains “she did this in 2 hours”

PS: This is the same song Darkchild was talking about in an interview a couple months ago. He described it as dancey, uptempo, and very “hook friendly”.

Britney Dating George Maloof? FALSE!

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

The Daily Mail reports that our girl Brit has found love with Las Vegas Palms Casino owner George Maloof...

We say? False! While Britney and George have been spending more time together (in the photo above is the two having dinner in LA back in May, not to mention their more recent trip to Cabo), the trith is that Maloof's relationship with Brit's dad is back on!

A source tells X17 Xclusively that the fam had Jamie Spears on the payroll years ago, but dumped him due to his drinking and inability to get them access to his daughter...

But now that Jamie is the conservator over Brit's estate, the Maloofs have likely started writing checks to Jamie again - according to our source - and the Maloof/Spears relationship is in full swing!

So what's next for these two power families? Guess we'll hafta wait and see!

Britney: Seven Months Without Sex!

Her meds --- and her dad's presence --- are making Britney Spears behave.

Once a week, Britney Spears drives to The Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey and indulges in her new favorite activity working out. "While she was running on the treadmill, she was joking about how she doesn't have a man," says a witness at the hotel's gym. The singer recently confided to a pal, "I lost my mojo," and hasn't been intimate with anyone in seven months.

Since Britney's father, Jamie, moved in with her in February when he took control of her life, it's been difficult for her to date. "How do you make out with a guy while your dad watches?" Britney joked to another friend.

Even though Britney regularly texts ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib --- and he sometimes sneaks over to her house for nighttime swims --- the photographer's visits been strictly platonic. "There's no way that Jamie would allow Adnan and Britney to be alone," an insider reveals.

Aside from Jamie's strict rules, the medication the 26-year-old has been taking to combat what is believed to be bipolar disorder appears to have put a dent in her sex drive.

"She is on a powerful regimen of prescription drugs," the insider shares. "One of the side effects seems to me lack of sexual interest."

She wants to find true love

A tame love life is a huge change for Britney, who once boasted about having sex three times in a day when she was still married to her now ex-husband.

Kevin Federline and has romanced a string of men since she filed for divorce in 2006. But celebrity rehab therapist Dr.Drew Pinsky, who does not treat Britney, says outrageous sexual behavior could have been a symptom of her illness. "With bipolar, you become hypersexual," Dr.Drew tells In Touch. "Before Britney began treatment, sleeping around with different men could have been the result of the manic state she was in."

Dr.Drew sees Britney's celibate lifestyle as a positive step toward her getting healthier. "I am seeing the results of good psychiatry and good parenting," he says.

Abstinent or not, Britney would still like to have a man in her life. "Right now, Britney isn't looking for a lover, She's looking for a boyfriend," her pal shares. "She really wants a guy that she can cuddle with."

Britney Spears Makes A New BFF

Aww … ain’t this a sweet sight … Britney Spears, on one of her scheduled visits with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, was seen taking her boys out for a little walk — and she had a new friend with her. Here are a couple pics of Britney with a new girlfriend and their children out for a stroll around Brit Brit’s home yesterday afternoon:

I love it! Britters needs to be hanging out with peers, other mothers, her own age rather than anyone from the Hollywood “It” crowd. I bet she could also use a break from all her handlers and employees … and this new friend, who has a child of her own (it seems), seems like the perfect person for her to be chillin’ with. And, her sons have a new playmate. Go, Britney! You keep doing your thing … you’re deffo on the right track … and we’re all rootin’ for you, right?

Britney And Justin Hit House Of Blues

One time lovebirds Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake were under the same roof last night at the House of Blues in Los Angeles — and they weren’t the only celebs in the, er, House.

Britney was backstage having a great time hanging out with a friend named Marianne, an eyewitness tells Star. She hung for a bit, then left through a side entrance at 10:37 pm, covering her face.

Meanwhile, Justin and Jessica Biel were spotted in the VIP Lounge, bopping to the music and enjoying cocktails. “He had his arm around Jessica the entire time and they were constantly kissing each other,” says an onlooker. “They looked like they were having a blast. They are obviously in love.”

Elsewhere in the club, Robin Thicke stopped his set at 11:15pm to sing “Happy Birthday” to Halle Berry, who was there with beau Gabriel Aubry. The new mom was completely surprised and shocked by the sing-along and looked at Gabriel and asked, “Did you do this?” He replied by giving her a big kiss and said, “Happy Birthday. I love you.”

“Halle looked amazing and truly happy,” says an eyewitness.

Brit to Sit for Sawyer?

The following italicized article is from www.extratv.warnerbros.com:

It's been two years since Britney Spears last faced network cameras in a gum-cracking interview with Matt Lauer -- and buzz is that the pop mom is ready to tell all about her turbulent couple of years to Diane Sawyer -- but is it true? Not quite, y'all.

"Extra" has learned that ABC execs are nixing worldwide web rumors of a Spears sit-down.

We'll just have to wait patiently for the pop mom to tell us all about her kids, divorce, courtroom battles, psych ward trips, conservatorship, recovery -- and of course, her new album.

Britney Wants To Quit Smoking!

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

I'm not sure if it's true, 'cause if it is, she doesn't seem to be very successful in her efforts, but a source tells Foxnews.com that Britney's trying to give up the cancer sticks.

The report says Queen B has a 40-plus-a-day habit and that "it's her one last vice and she knows that her kids hate her doing it too."

We caught Brit on July 18, smoking in front of Sean Preston -- maybe being confronted with this reality encouraged her to want to make a change?

Bravo, Brit! Work those fags right outta your life!!!! For your own good and for your kids!

Smoking sucks!

Britney, Jonas Brothers Up for VMA Video of the Year

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

Britney Spears may have had a tough time at last year's Video Music Awards, but she'll have a chance to redeem herself this year.

She is up for the show's top honor – video of the year – for "Piece of Me." The video was also nominated by the singer's fans for best pop video and best female video.

Other nominees in the category include the Jonas Brothers for "Burnin Up," Chris Brown's "Forever," the Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up," and the Ting Tings' "Shut Up and Let Me Go."

The nominees for best rock video were also announced: Fall Out Boys' "Beat It," Paramore's "Crush, Crush, Crush," Slipknot's "Psychosocial," Lincoln Park's "Shadow of the Day," and Foo Fighters' "The Pretender."

Should Spears win, this will be her first Moonman; the pop star has been nominated 16 times, but has never walked away with an award.

Since Spears filmed a promo for the awards with host Russell Brand, MTV has confirmed there is a possibility she will appear at the awards, in one way or another – but not whether she will perform. Last year, Spears delivered a universally panned performance of her song "Gimme More" at the VMAs.

The VMAs air live from Los Angeles on Sept. 7. on MTV.

OK! Exclusive: Jamie Spears Breaks His Silence

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

For the first time since re-entering Britney Spears's life as her conservator, her dad Jamie Spears is talking exclusively to OK! about his struggle to help his daughter re-gain control of her life.

Brit's dad is telling everything — from what he thinks of Kevin Federline, to when he hopes the conservatorship will end, to how his relationship with Britney is today.

"We've grown a lot," Jamie tells OK!. "I've been able to come back into my daughter's life, and that was an adjustment anyway, because I'm an alcoholic and it's the first time we've really been able to share."

Jamie, who initially moved into Britney's Studio City home at the beginning of the conservatorship, says he no longer has to live in the house.

"I don't stay here anymore," he says. "Every now and then, I'll stay if we have something early in the morning we have to do. "

Jamie says both Brit and K-Fed wanted to avoid going to trial over their custody dispute, and that in the end it came down to negotiating how much time Brit wanted with their sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

"It made no sense for that trial to proceed so we worked out an agreement," he tells OK!. "The agreement says that on Oct. 1 we'll probably get another overnight, and that will stay in place until the end of the year or the end of the conservatorship."

As for his feelings about Kevin, Jamie says, "Kevin has a wonderful heart. I don't agree with giving him more money.... He wants them to raise these kids together. Kevin's heart is right."

Currently, Britney has the boys on Monday, Wednesday and an overnight on Friday. As Britney's conservator, Jamie accompanies every visit. The conservatorship is in place through the end of the year, but Jamie says he's hopeful that his daughter will reach a place where she no longer needs it.

"I would hope that it stands until the end of the year, and then we'll sit back and evaluate where we are at the time, where Britney is at that time," he tells OK!.

Jamie admits the conservatorship was a major adjustment for Britney, but in a twist of fate, has given them both a chance to grow together as father and daughter.

"It's wonderful. It's new for both of us," he explains. "She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But, like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot."

Britney's progress has been monumental, thanks in large part to her father taking the legal steps to take over her life. But, at the end of the day, Jamie is just a dad, trying to protect his daughter.

"I do understand that my baby made this monster," he says, adding, "But when she was down, people took advantage."

Thirty Seconds In Heaven With Britney Spears

You might remember that Remote Control blogger Control Freak was on the Los Angeles set where VMA host Russell Brand and Britney Spears recently shot those OMG! VMA promos. Well, we’ve got two more that we’ve been given the OK to post here, so we invited CF to hit it again.

Make that 60 seconds, since there are TWO brand spankin’ new VMA promos below!

As I told you Monday, this dumbstruck blogger got a chance to watch 2008 MTV Video Music Awards host Russell Brand and a soft-spoken yet stunning Britney Spears film MTV’s latest commercial spots last week. Which means I also got to watch Russell flirt wildly with the calm and collected singer, who spent most of 2007 unintentionally convincing media that she was anything but.

Good news! Britney’s sanity wasn’t an act for the cameras. She genuinely seemed happy, even if she’s back to travelling with an entourage of massive proportions, each with something to say about her hair, her makeup, her outfit, her facial expressions … you get the picture.

Speaking of pictures, I feel kinda sorry for the catering lady hunted down by Brit’s bodyguards for snapping a candid shot of the star from her mobile phone. Note to catering lady: always ask first.

The day wasn’t all about fending off Russell’s plans for heavy petting behind the elephant. In fact, when the cameras weren’t rolling, the two had some pleasant interactions, even if Britney appeared very perplexed by his hairdo. Picture this: Brit’s being primped by three people at once while she sucks her beverage of choice (Coke!) through a straw. Russell, like most of America, is fascinated by even the most mundane things Britney does, and says in his most thoughtful yet still comical tone, “I like that straw idea. It’s interesting now that I’ve seen it in action. It’s like, ‘Why wouldn’t I have a straw?’” And all of this happened whilst an elephant in the room danced on its heels. My job is awesome.

Britney's Four Real!

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

Britney Spears certainly is keeping her nose to the grindstone these days - last night, we caught an all-too-quick glimpse of the pop princess and her manager leaving the studio after a four-hour session! Wow, that's some serious dedication to your craft - when do you think we'll hear any details?

(Maybe at the VMAs? After all, Britney keeps claiming she won't be performing - but letting a few new deets about her album slip would be almost as much of a treat for her fans!)

We can't wait to hear Brit's new album - hell, we can't wait to hear about it!
