Britney Spears Still <3s Her Starbucks

Wee … remember those bygone days when the most scandalous thing to occupy Britney Spears’s day was a trip to Starbucks for a caffeinated drink? Well, it looks like those days are here again … Brit Brit ventured out yesterday in search of a coffee fix and managed to limit herself to picking up just two Starbucks beverages:
Okay … so mebbe it’s a little over-the-top to celebrate something as menial as a trip to Starbucks … but I’m just reminded of those innocent days when this was pretty much all that Britney did. Pre-crazy, pre-Paris Hilton, pre-Kevin Federline … it wasn’t that long ago. Oversized sunglasses and a Starbucks cup firmly in hand was the dress code for all Hollywood “It” Girls … pardon me if I’m feeling a bit nostalgic. Sorry, I’m gonna need a tissue to wipe away my teary eyes … this is a beyootiful sight :)

Britney Spears Sells Her Studio City Home

Our dear Britney Spears, who wowed the world yesterday with the official release of her new track Womanizer, has decided to sell off her Studio City manse as quickly as possible. You may recall that this home was the site of Britney’s infamous mental break-down this past January (the house she was removed from via stretcher) as well as, I’m sure, numerous other bad memories (involving those leeches Sam Lutfi and cousin Ali Sims) … which is exactly why wants to get rid of it:

Britney Spears is so desperate to sell her massive mansion that she has posed for photos in the many rooms for the sales catalogue! The popstar is apparently keen to get rid of the £4 Million house because it reminds Brit of her drug problems and her mental breakdown. The pics show off the flash six-bedroom house- described as an “exquisite gated Italian Renaissance-inspired villa”- with her son’s toys scattered around the floor. Neighbours will be pleased to see the back of Britney after the chaotic scenes that have happened outside the house and paparazzi intrusion. Spears — whose new album will be out later this year — is looking for a new house at the moment and reportedly wants more privacy.

I say, “Good Riddance!” That place was a den of tragedy and I fully support her getting rid of it. I remember, not so fondly, that when Britney wasn’t roaming the streets of LA at all hours of the night last year, she was holed up in this mansion out of sight and in the sole care of Sam Lutfi. I shudder to think of the things that might’ve happened in those walls. Britney has a new lease on life and should move on into fresh, happy surroundings. This is just another clear indication that she is finally taking charge of her life and is serious about staying on the right and healthy path.

Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” Hits The Air

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

Britney Spears is making her comeback — again. First step: release a catchy single. And so, on Friday Britney’s song “Womanizer” finally hit airwaves, four days after its scheduled release and a week after a snippet was leaked.

The song is an upbeat if slightly repetitive electropop number lasting about 3:40. It comes off Spears’ album “Circus,” which is set to be released on her 27th birthday on Dec. 2. The song was produced by The Outsyders, a group based in Atlanta.

It has lyrics that include: “You say I’m crazy/ I got your crazy/You’re nothing but a womanizer” In the song’s chorus, Britney sings, “Boy, don’t try to front/I-I know just-just what you are/Womanizer, you’re a womanizer, baby.”

It remains to be seen what Britney’s fans think of the song, but it’s definitely catchy. In a snap judgment, the Los Angeles Times music blog Soundboard reached the conclusion that “Britney is back. She actually seems to be awake this time.”

Last year in late August, Britney released a song, “Gimme More,” which was also billed as a “comeback” tunes after months of Britney finding herself making headlines for erratic behavior. At that time, she was embroiled in a bitter custody battle over her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

She sang “Gimme More” at the MTV Video Music Awards in September ‘07, but was panned by fans and critics. By January of this year, she found herself in a Los Angeles-area hospital under psychiatric evaluation.

But since February, after her father and lawyers took control of her affairs, Britney has seemed to be on the mend. In fact, at this year’s MTV VMAs, Britney won three awards for her song, “Piece of Me.”

So one wonders: could this “comeback” be the real deal.

Lynne Spears Used Argument To Get Daughter's Attention

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

BRITNEY SPEARS' mum LYNNE has revealed she and her estranged husband JAMIE used an argument between her daughter and then-manager SAM LUTFI to "start taking charge" of their troubled daughter's affairs.

Spears claims Lutfi had shut her out of Britney's life, but the singer's parents knew it was time to take action when it appeared she was heading towards a nervous breakdown.

She explains, "We had police calling us telling us things that were going on. That's when we said, 'We've got to do something, we prayed about it.'

"We had been trying to get in; we couldn't... When she had an argument with that individual, who I just don't even want to talk about, that was the opening and we took advantage of it, we got in and that's when we were able to start taking charge."

Speaking out on American Idol host Ryan Seacrest's Los Angeles radio show, Spears confirmed Lufti was the "individual" she was referring to.

Shortly after Lynne and Jamie took charge of their daughter's personal and professional affairs at the beginning of 2008, Jamie was made a co-conservator of the pop star's estate and the couple was granted a restraining order against Lutfi.
