Teaching Britney To Dance... Bollywood-style!
When Rujuta Vaidya choreographed a Bollywood-style dance sequence for Disney's telly film Cheetah Girls: One World, she wondered what could be a bigger achievement. That was over a year ago. "And then I get a call from Britney Spears' company looking for someone, who could teach her Bollywood steps for an act she is going to incorporate in her international Circus tour," the New York-based choreographer says.
"I thought I was going to be crazy. When I got that assignment, I wondered if I could top it. Britney had to choose the various choreographers herself and she hired me to bring a Bollywood touch to the show. And now, here I am in Hollywood, training 25 dancers, who will dance as the two Oscar nominated songs from Slumdog Millionaire are played out [at the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22]."
She is working with Fatima Robinson, who was the main choreographer for Cheetah Girls, shot extensively in India.
"Like I said the other day, Bollywood is on the cusp of becoming part of the mainstream because Bollywood fuses all forms of dance like hip-hop and classical Indian music. This can appeal to a very wide audience, especially those who have accepted Latin American music and dance in the last few decades. I am very glad that I am a part of this emerging phenomenon," she said in a phone interview in between her rehearsals in Hollywood.
The grapevine has it that she will soon be working with another big name in the fashion and entertainment world, Donna Karan.

Reminder For UK Fans
Britney's hit single 'Circus' is released today in the UK and...well...ya know the drill....Britney Spears 'Comeback' Waxwork Unveiled At Madame Tussauds
The following italicized article is from www.telegraph.co.uk:The attraction already has several Spears waxworks at its museums across the world but wanted a glamorous new model to depict the pop star's return to form.
The statue, which was unveiled in London this morning, shows the 27-year-old singer in a sparkly silver dress with plunging neckline, holding one of the three MTV Video Music Awards she won in September.
"We are delighted to be featuring Britney at Madame Tussauds London for the second time," said the venue's Liz Edwards.
"Her original figure captured a provocative pose from her 2001 Dream Within A Dream Tour and was extremely popular.
"However, she's undergone a huge transformation since then and we wanted to reflect her as she is now."
The broad smile and long blond hair are a far cry from images of Spears in 2007, when she was filmed shaving her head in a salon window during a high-profile breakdown.
But the former Disney child star has rebuilt her career and her world tour is due to hit the UK this summer at London's 02 Arena.
She recently released her sixth studio album Circus, a follow-up to her album Blackout which was popular with the critics despite expectations due to her well-documented personal troubles.
Spears is one of the top-selling artists of the last decade and has sold more than 62 million albums worldwide.
To celebrate her latest wax incarnation, Madame Tussauds has launched an interactive dance experience. The Britney Dance Chain will allow visitors to learn some of Spears' best moves, enter a "dance tunnel" and strut their stuff on camera.

Britney 'Close To Breaking Point'
The following italicized article is from www.digitalspy.co.uk:Britney Spears is reportedly 'close to breaking point' as she prepares for her first tour since her public breakdown.
The star is becoming increasingly stressed and anxious as pressure grows in the final weeks of rehearsals, according to reports.
"Britney's like a wound-up spring waiting to go off," a source told Now.
"She's still taking medication to get through each day.
"She's so stressed about the kids and so nervous about the tour that it's making her physically ill. The only way she can release that tension is to scream at whoever is closest.
"She locks herself in her room or the bathroom and frequently breaks down in tears."
The 'Circus' singer has allegedly been prescribed Valium and anti-anxiety pill Ativan to supplement her regular bipolar medication.
Spears's live show kicks off in New Orleans on March 3, before playing a "mini-residency" at London's O2 arena from June 3. She recently added a further date in Manchester on June 17.

Britney Spears is 50 Cent's Muse
The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:It seems that Britney Spears is the unlikely muse for 50 Cent’s new album.
The rapper has told OK! that he was inspired to write Before I Self Destruct by watching the singer's massive, head-shaving, umbrella-attacking meltdown in 2007.
Now, to you it might have seemed like a tragic tale of damaging relationships, possible drug abuse and mental illness combining to create the spectacular collapse of a mother's career and private life.
But apparently it's all just great material for hip hop songs, according to Fiddy.
“She was the greatest show on earth last year,” the rapper, born Curtis Jackson, 33, tells OK!.
“She was going through her issues in public... It was great to watch her spin out of control because it makes the average person feel better.”
Well, we're sure that makes it all seem worthwhile to Brit!
