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

Talk about a turnaround — Britney Spears started 2008 barricaded inside her L.A. home with her son while the police and ambulances waited outside. And now, less than 11 months later, she's got a hit single, an album ready to drop in two weeks, a 2009 tour in the works, and OK! has just confirmed that she'll be taking part in one the biggest annual Yuletide traditions — the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree!

Sources close to the pop superstar confirm to OK! that on Dec. 3, the day after she turns 27 and her new album, Circus, hits record stores, Britney will be in the Big Apple for the 76th annual tree-lighting extravaganza. What's still unclear is whether or not she'll be performing at the ceremony, or just hanging out with host Al Roker for the NBC broadcast of the event.

If Britney does perform, this could be her first live performance of her own songs since the 2007 Video Music Awards, where a dazed Brit slouched through a half-hearted production of her single, "Gimme More."

The recently reformed singer did step out onto stage on Nov. 6, when she made a cameo appearance at Madonna's concert at L.A.'s Dodgers Stadium. The mother of two and the Material Girl sang a duet of Madge's hit, "Human Nature."

To check out the tree-lighting ceremony for yourself, tune into NBC on Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. ET.

Madonna Tells Britney Spears to 'Forget About Marriage'

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

Madonna has told Britney Spears not to marry again.

Spears - who divorced husband Kevin Federline in 2006 - reportedly sought advice from the Material Girl singer after performing with her recently, and on the subject of men, Madonna - who recently annouced she would be divorcing husband Guy Ritchie - left no question about what she thought best for both of them.

A source says, "Britney asked Madonna if she will ever marry again after her split from Guy.

"Madonna not only said she wouldn't but told Britney to forget about marriage. She said it just doesn't work for girls like them.

"Madonna clearly sees a lot of herself in Britney because she seems very eager to help her."

"Quicksand" Added As Bonus Track On European iTunes

The U.S. seriously got jipped. Like, the kind of jipped where your ass works a 12 hour shift waiting tables, when your last party of the night full of stupid middle schoolers dines and dashes. You can't decide whether you want to just say fuck it or chase them down and punch them in their braces.

European iTunes gets another bonus track! The song is titled "Quicksand," produced by Fernando Garibay ("Amnesia") and Lady Gaga. Xtina's gonna flip a shit.

"It came about quickly and in an unconventional way," Gaga reveals about writing "Quicksand" for Britney. "It's an amazing song but there's nothing like having a superstar singing your lyrics. Then it just so happened that she heard another song that I did with a different producer that she also gravitated towards and I don't even know if she knew that I wrote it. I was supposed to go in and produce her vocals but I couldn't do it because I was on tour, but I heard that she is dancing her pants off in the studio and so excited."

Kudos to this track for not leaking today!

Star Academy Performance Details

Some new details on Britney's Star Academy performance in France have come to light!

Nathalie Andre, a rep for Star Academy, says Britney and her team have been negotiating this performance since May - though confirmation was only announced just 2 weeks ago. And the staff is already gearing up for Britney's arrival! The crew is constantly rehearsing Britney's entrance, as well as beefing up security for that night's show.

Andre did reveal she fears a last minute cancellation (apparently Madonna was recently scheduled to perform on the show, then backed out last minute), but mentioned Britney, thus far, is "no diva."

On the show, Britney will reportedly have a small chat with contestants and answer a few questions from the show's host before her performance. The show will begin with segment about Britney's 10-year career, followed by her performance singing "Womanizer" which features her dancers and flashy pyrotechnics.

Britney Seals Her Comeback With X-Factor Performance

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

After a No.4 hit with her latest track Womanizer and two MTV Europe Music Awards last week, Britney Spears is continuing her comeback with a live performance on The X Factor.

The pop star, 26, will cement her return to the music industry with a performance of her single on the hit ITV talent show.

Britney will also meet the six remaining contests on the November 29th broadcast.

Britney's appearance comes after Mariah Carey and Will Young appeared on recent Saturday's, mentoring the contestants.

The superstar's X Factor performance will be her first on UK television for five years.

After a difficult few years, during which she went through a divorce and was hospitalised twice for psychiatric evaluation, Britney is now looking better than she has in years.

Since dealing with her problems with the help of her father Jamie and mother Lynne, Britney has been focusing her energies of getting her career back on track.

She picked up three awards at the MTV Video Music Awards in September for her single Piece Of Me, and continued her success at the MTV Europe Music Awards last week with two trophies - even though she was unable to attend the Liverpool ceremony.

Earlier this month, Britney wowed fans when she joined Madonna on stage during the Material Girl's Los Angeles gig.

Her sixth studio album Circus is set for release on her 27th birthday on December 2nd.

She took a step back from her career when she first met her then-husband Kevin Federline in 2004.

The dancer accompanied her to London on the European leg of her Onyx Hotel Room Tour.

But after injuring her knee filming the video for her song Outrageous, Britney cancelled the rest of her tour and returned to the U.S., where she started planning her marriage to Kevin.

After marrying the aspiring rapper in September 2004, Britney took several years out of her career to raise her two children Sean Preston, three; and Jayden James, two.

Britney Spears Shows Her Backside

On Halloween day we got our first look at the new cover artwork for Britney Spears’s new album Circus and today we get to see what the album’s backside will look like. UK store Tesco has uploaded the backside of the album artwork on their online site, which I now am passing along to all y’all. Here is the back of the Circus album artwork for both the standard and deluxe versions of the album:

You can see that both albums will have the same tracklisting except that the deluxe version will have the UK bonus tracks Rock Me In and Phonography … as well as a bonus DVD of “the making of the Circus album including an exclusive interview with Britney”. Additionally, the backcover artwork features A SCARY ASS MINI-CLOWN offering our dear Britney a birthday cake (the album will be released on her birthday, December 2) as she reclines on a bed, presumably in a circus wagon. I mean … I’m not a big fan of clowns in general but this little guy is kinda extra freaky. BUT, of the Circus promo pics that we’ve seen thus far … this one is the most circus-y. I think I like this photo (scary clown, notwithstanding) … what do y’all think?
