Britney Spears Plays a Sexy Housewife in New Video

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

Britney Spears is a mega pop star, a mom of two – and now a happy homemaker in her new video, sources tell PEOPLE.

The singer, who plans to hit the road for her Circus tour next month, spent Tuesday filming the video for her upcoming single "If U Seek Amy," in which she plays a sexy housewife dressed in blonde '50s style wig, fitted pink top and white skirt.

"The video begins with Britney coming outside her house to hand the paparazzi an apple pie that she baked," says a source. "She acts like she wants to hook up. The video is very provocative."

In part of the video, Spears is accompanied by two adorable perfectly-groomed children and a straight-laced man wearing khakis and a sweater over his shoulders. But a source says there are also lots of dancers "dressed in skimpy outfits in metallic color" and revealing costumes for Spears included in the shoot.

According to several sources, Spears was very professional and upbeat on the set. "She was like the old Britney at the shoot. She was engaged and excited the whole day and seemed like her old self," says a source.

"If U Seek Amy" is the third single from the album Circus. Spears kicks off her new tour in New Orleans on March 3.

More Details On Brit's Sexy Music Video Shoot!

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

X17online spoke with a source on the set of Britney Spears' latest music video shoot, and we have some juicy details for you!

The video was shot at a $4 million traditional home near the Palisades bluffs, and the conservative neighborhood seemed a bit surprised to have the pop princess shoot what is expected to be her most raunchy video to date in their community! However, it seems like everyone involved had a blast, and we can expect a super sexy video very soon!

Our on set source tells us:

"Britney looked like she was having a blast. Earlier in the day between takes, she was playing this mind reading game with her two boys and they LOVED it. After they left, she was a lot quieter. Around the end of the shoot, she seemd to be getting a little anxious for some reason. She probably was ready to go home."

The front door of the house had a red heart reading 'I Love You' in large letters, and our source tells us that for this part of the video (which was the first day of a 2-3 day shoot) Brit plays the role of a "suburban housewife"! We're picturing Britney with an apron and a pie in her hands, but our source assures us that we can look forward to "a much sexier, risque Britney" in the final video.

Filming has wrapped at that location, and there was only one truck cleaning up the remaining props earlier this morning, so we can't wait to hear about the rest of the shoot! We love sexy Brit Brit videos!

Can't wait to see this one!

Britney Shoots Her New Music Video

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

If you seek Britney, you'll be happy to know that she was shooting her latest music video at a private residence in Pacific Palisades last night!

The pop princess left the set around midnight in her brand new Mini Cooper (with her bodyguard in the passenger seat, of course), and she looked tired but happy.

We're hearing that she was shooting the video for "If You Seek Amy," and while there were rumors that Madonna would join her for the shoot, we didn't see the queen of pop anywhere near the Palisades last night. That doesn't rule Madonna out though - they could easily film another clip somewhere else and throw it into the video - hopefully that's the plan!

Fighting Sam Lutfi Is Really Really Expensive

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

The lawyers in Britney Spears' conservatorship case went to court this morning to ask the judge for... what else???? They want to hire more lawyers to defend Britney.

Brit's mouthpiece claims the singer needs two civil lawyers to defend her in Sam Lutfi's defamation case against Britney and her family. Here's the deal. The two lawyers will cost a grand total of $935 an hour. The judge gave the green light, so the Bank of Brit is fully open for business.

Spears is expected to keep the legal profession afloat during these hard economic times.

What's it like writing songs for Britney Spears?

She’s a nice girl – I just feel very honoured that she wanted to sing my song. I used to scream for her in Times Square and now I work for her. When I was 13 she was the most provocative performer of my time. I love her so much!

Did you share any tips with her?

Britney certainly doesn’t need any freakin’ tips from me! Britney Spears is the queen of pop. I was learning from her.

Britney Will Tour With Kiddies

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

It's official... Britney Spears will go on tour -- for a price.

We've learned Jamie Spears and K-Fed have now both signed the document we told you about last week, which clears the path for Brit taking her kids on the road for her upcoming concert tour. What, you ask, is in it for Federline?? How bout $5,000 a week.

As we first reported, the way the deal goes is Jayden James and Sean Preston will follow Britney to three hubs -- New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles. Britney will commute back and forth from each hub during the tour. She's also renting houses in New Jersey and New Orleans for Kevin if he wants to come along for the ride. But K-Fed gets the $5,000 a week, whether he shows up or not.

But wait, there's more. We've learned the deal Jamie and K-Fed signed memorializes the custody arrangement they've all been following since last year. Britney gets the kids 3 days and nights a week, according to the new agreement, which will remain in effect after the tour is over. We're also told many weeks, Britney has the kids more than Kevin. So in effect it's 50/50 custody.

Score another victory for Brit's lawyer, Laura Wasser, who sealed the deal.

Britney Dad Fury

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

BRITNEY SPEARS’ dad last night vowed to get her former manager hauled in front of a judge — for allegedly drugging the star.

A source close to JAMIE SPEARS, 56 — who also accuses SAM LUTFI of alienating the singer from her family — revealed: “He is determined to pursue a criminal prosecution.

“Jamie also believes Sam tried to take control of her life and finances.”

Lutfi, 34, denies Jamie’s claims that he was a control freak who dosed Britney with sedatives and anti-anxiety pills.

He accuses Britney, 27, of breach of contract — and is suing both her and her dad.

He has branded Jamie “violent and unpredictable” in court papers filed in Los Angeles — and claims the dad once punched him.

A source in Lutfi’s camp said: “Sam isn’t going down without a fight.”

K-Fed Lawyer: No Deal Yet on Britney Touring With Tykes

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

Despite Britney Spears' blog proclaiming earlier this week that Sean Preston and Jayden James will be joining her for the duration of her Circus tour, Kevin Federline's camp insists no deal is done.

"We are working towards that," K-Fed attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan exclusively tells E! News.

"There can be an agreement reached in probably the next day, but there is not an agreement that is signed yet."

Kaplan says they are hammering out the last details, but the basic agreement will allow Spears to see her two sons on "pretty much the same schedule that she has now," which is around three days a week. For the sake of the tour, Federline will travel with the kids to tour areas.

"Kevin is working to make them accessible by going on various central locations in various areas of the country and he is doing that because he wants her to be able to have the maximum positive environment around her to assure that the tour will be successful," says Kaplan.

Sean and Jayden James will likely not be seeing any of mom's Circus shows nor will they be hanging out backstage.

"I don't think the kids will be at venues, they will be available in her life when she is done with the rigors of performing," says Kaplan.

As for reports that Spears was threatening to cancel the tour if an agreement wasn't reached for the kids to come, Kaplan says that did not influence Federline's decision to allow the kids on tour.

"That would be her decision, but it is not something that would compel Kevin to decide what is best for his kids," Kaplan says.

Kaplan says he does not know if Federline will be bringing his new girlfriend, professional volleyball player Victoria Prince, with him as he shadows his ex-wife's tour. Prince recently decided to take time off the pro volleyball circuit.

"I don't even know if they know yet, but she is a very solid person and they are really great together. She is very solid, responsible and very postive effect that she has had. "

Britney's Former BFF Could Be Out on His Ass

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

It's not hard to see why Sam Lutfi is suing the Spears clan -- he's got a debt collection agency on his back.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, a lien was slapped on Lutfi's condo back in April. Lutfi never paid the debt, which grew to $18,507.58 by November.

The lien was filed by a debt collection agency on behalf of the homeowner's association where Lutfi has a condo.

According to docs, Lutfi has until February 10 to pay up or the condo could be forced into foreclosure.And Lutfi has other financial issues. A bank that issued Sammy boy a Discover Card filed a lawsuit against him last month, claiming he owes $7,966.98.

Lutfi filed a lawsuit against Britney and her parents yesterday, claiming, among other things, libel, defamation and battery.

PETA Flowers Brit With Praise

Say What? PETA reveals to RadarOnline.com that they will send a "Thank You" note and flowers to the ever-resurrecting princess of pop for choosing to lead an animal-less Circus Tour--The Pussycat Dolls excluded!

In November PETA sent the poptart a letter requesting she leave live animals out of all Circus Tour promotional plans.

PETA President Ingrid Newkirk just released this exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com:

"PETA praises Britney for embracing modern animal-free circuses like Cirque du Soleil which spotlight human creativity and talents instead of forcing chained and beaten exotic animals to perform confusing and uncomfortable tricks as they do in one of those outdated Ringling Bros. shows. Now Britney won't risk winding up in court on cruelty charges, while Ringling is in court this week over serious allegations of repeated mistreatment of elephants."

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals is notorious for witty jibes at pelt donning celebs- like their anti-Olsen twins campaign, 'Trollsen Twins', and of course, protesting fur fiend J.Lo!

In November, a PETA activist threw a flour bomb in fur-clad Lindsay Lohan's face. Flowers sure beat flour any day of the week-- eh Brit?

Enjoy the bouquet!

Sam Lutfi Sues Britney Spears

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

Sam Lutfi has filed a lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents for libel, defamation, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract

.According to the papers, Sam claims Jamie and Lynn "launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney's life.

"In the lawsuit, Sam claims he was standing in Britney's kitchen on January 29, 2008 when Jamie stormed into the house. Lutfi alleges Jamie yelled at him, claiming Sam made a rude comment to Lynne the night before. Then, Sam claims, Jamie "intentionally punched him in the chest" and threatened to kill him if he ever heard Sam make a rude comment about Lynne or any member of the Spears family again.

All the claims of libel and defamation spring from Lynne's book, "Through the Storm." Lutfi says since the publication of the book, he "has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and public scorn."

Lutfi also claims Britney broke a contract with him and owes him unpaid management fees. He claims he had an oral agreement with Spears to be her manager for four years, earning 15% commission.

Last Friday, Britney was granted a restraining order against Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, barring them from having any contact with her, her parents or her kids.

Osama Lutfi Files A Lawsuit Against The Spears Family!!!!

It's war!

Britney Spears's former manager, Osama Lutfi, has just filed a lawsuit - on Tuesday - against the singer's parents, Jamie & Lynne Spears, PerezHilton.com has learned exclusively.

Why?

For defamation!

Lutfit's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, exclusively tells PerezHilton.com:

“This lawsuit is being brought as a result of the defamation, ridicule and harassment of Sam Lutfi by Jamie Spears and Lynne Spears. A thorough investigation has revealed overwhelming evidence from independent witnesses, showing that Lynne Spears knowingly and maliciously publicized devastating false information about Lutfi which destroyed his reputation, irreparably harmed his career, and subjected him to constant scorn and humiliation.

At the time of the trial in this action, the jury will have an opportunity to weigh the credibility of the witnesses. In doing so, it will be faced with two threshold questions: Why would a supposedly loving mother write a tell all book about the sordid details of two of the most devastating nights of her daughter's life and go on countless talk shows for her own profit? And why would a loving father who deems his daughter to be incompetent, thrust her into a massive world tour only to subject her to the very limelight that threatened to shatter her life, for something other than his own personal gain?

The facts of this case will reveal Jamie and Lynne’s conduct in light of these questions. It will unequivocally explain the motivation of two people who are seemingly willing to destroy anyone and anything that gets in the way of their ability to control and profit from their daughter. Through this action, the truth about Jamie, Lynne and their relentless desire to control Britney Spears and her fortune will be revealed.”

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Source: Perez Hilton

Ha...Sam Lutfi has drugged Britney, slept in front of her house so that she could not leave it without him, disabled her cars, cut her telephone lines, threw away her cell phone chargers, made Britney to talk to him like a 5 year old girl and hid her dog so that Britney would be in such dispair that she had to beg to get her dog back from him.

Heck, for all I care Jamie could hold a gun to Britney's head and threaten to shoot her if she doesn't do this tour and he would still be a better man then Sam.

Ps: And don't y'all forget, Sam has MULTIPLE restraining orders against him from other people whom he has threatened to kill!

Britney's Former Music Manager Johnny Wright Wishes Britney 'Nothing But The Best'

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

The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour, Spears' first arena tour in five years, kicks off March 3 in New Orleans. The Pussycat Dolls will also be along for the ride.

And since she'll be touring until June, it's lucky that she won't be needed in court until at least August.

That's when the singer may be called upon to give a deposition in her former manager's lawsuit against her over (what else?) money matters.

Clay Townsend, the attorney representing Florida-based manager Johnny Wright, told E! News following a closed hearing Monday that they are in no hurry to question Spears since their trial isn't on the docket until 2010.

"Johnny Wright still has a lot of affection for Britney," Townsend said. "He was around Britney for a long time, since the Mickey Mouse days and he just wishes the best for her."

Their financial issues were probably due to accounting errors, the lawyer added, and Wright is glad Spears is doing better and ready to head out on tour.

Wright's camp maintains that only Spears can answer certain questions pertaining to her specific aspects of her career and says the deposition can be given with a psychologist present, if the court deems it necessary.
