Britney goes brunette!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

fp_3204532_spears_britney_fame_062809Back in the US after her tour finished in the UK, Britney decided to get a new ‘do - emerging on Saturday as a brunette! Now, it makes us go “uh oh” just a little bit, as the first steps to her downfall a couple of years ago was messing with her hair, but at least this time it’s something simple and well - she looks pretty damn good as a brunette. What do you think?

The tour will resume with more US dates, as well as some in Australia, as the Circus continues. Maybe it’s headed to a town near you again!

In the meantime, Brit is looking FIERCE - toned and happy as she wanders about with her agent/boyfriend Jason Trawick. She’s even up to some of her old Paparazzi Teasing pics - sporting a big ole ring that looked suspiciously engagement like for a day or two.

We love the playful Britney - don’t you?

Opening Video with Perez Hilton!

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Perez was over the moon when he was asked to participate in the Circus Tour by way of a video shoot - and now we have the entire sequence here for you to enjoy! Some of us don’t get to go to the concerts, after all, and missed all the glitz and glamor and fun that was had at Perez’s expense.

You think if I got to shoot him with a crossbow they’d bring the Circus to Alaska? No? Well, we’ll just have to live vicariously through them from afar, then!

Here’s the opening Intro video to the Circus Tour - with Perez Hilton!


.

In the meantime, Britney took an evening off on Saturday night (June 6) and spend some time to party at the MAddox nightclub - her first venture out since arriving with the tour. She didn’t stay out long, comparatively, heading to the hotel at 12:30 AM, to make it for a fairly early night.

Of course, that means that there’s some rumor about her being with an unknown male for company by the paparazzi on the scene! Apparently he was in the same car, while it made a “fast getaway”!

The Circus in London!

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

britney-spears-nassau2.jpgThe Circus tour hits London, and while some of the reviews aren’t proclaiming their undying love, the fans are still flocking to the spectacle, and loving every minute of it!

Especially when we’re peppered with the fun behind the scenes videos like this one - where we are treated to Sean Preston and Jayden James - who will be 4 and 3 in September, channeling their mama and papa’s moves as they flail around, dancing to Toxic, with the cast and crew cheering them on! Check it out!

How cute are the little tater tots?!

The reviews are mixed, with CBS news London reporting that the show could have “Put Marcel Marceau to shame with her endless miming.” While they loved the set list, the remixed and current versions, they felt Britney was missing - looking bored - and didn’t interact with the audience. Maybe she’d gotten so much grief from her random comments here in the US she wasn’t risking it? Who knows - besides, reviewers are paid to pick things apart - what do they know?

London Circus!

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

britney spears 2 030609Britney just twittered that she’s finished the first show in London! “I love all the remixed tracks and new costumes!” Britney took to the staget at the O2 Arena in London, where she’ll be performing 8 shows over the next 11 days. This is the closing leg of her Circus tour, and by all accounts it’ll be “Crazy! Britney wanted to throw parties people will be talking about for years!” After London, she’ll be headed to Mahchester, Ireland and France, with her family - and baby daddy - by her side.

In an interview with the National Ledger, Britney talks a little bit about learning to take care of herself while on tour, and that she’s in a good place now. She’s taking her time, and not letting herself feel any pressure “other than to just feel happy about myself and to work on my music.”

She commented on her banging bod, and how she used to be a workout freak too, but that after the kids it was just harder to get back into the routine. Even though it’s hard, she admits that once she’s in the gym, she starts “getting into it and I feel great!”

She’s even going to bed early now, and getting up early so that she has enough time and energy to look after her boys. “I need to have a lot of energy because they just have so much energy themselves!”

The new costumes look great, and it’s awesome to hear Britney in such good spirits! Anyone catching the show? Be sure to tell us how it was!

Britney’s new man?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

The tabloids are in a tizzy, as usual, and this time it’s not a backup dancer that’s got their relationship radar pinging! No, this time, its Britney’s agent, Jason Trawick! According to x17online and fox news, they have been spending more and more time together, quality time!

One of the Paparazzi claims they are definitely together, citing the proof that he’s “never seen any other celebrity spend as much time with their agent as Brit does” - including the Costa Rica vacation, dinner, the Bahamas, and running out to get coffee at the local Starbucks. “It’s not just business as usual” he says. Because Coffee automatically means Relationship!

Sure, it’s not the first time that Britney has dabbled in the relationship pool with her employees - K-Fed was her backup dancer, and there were the crazy years with Adnan, too. Even recent rumors have her hooking up with current Circus Tour backup dancer Chase Benz, when Star Magazine said she was all over him in that the bump and grind kinda way.

Whatever the relationship - it’s clear that Agent Trawick has been good for Britney’s career and getting her back on track! From the whole Circus Tour, to the recent shooting of the video for Radar, and the soon to be opening Europe leg of Circus, he’s been a busy boy, which makes for more and more Britney. Who are we to complain?!

Speaking of Radar, here’s an awesome video of the group of martial artists that preform on tour with Britney, Sideswipe, showing off on the streets of NYC as well as footage from the tour too, set to Radar - these guys are AWESOME. Checkit!

Vacations, Videos, and ‘Mo.

Friday, May 29th, 2009

britneybahamas.jpg Britney spent some time in the Bahamas with her family, soaking up the fun and sun with her boys and the rest of her family as she took a short break from the Circus Tour before it heads to Europe. And, as you can see, that body be bangin’! All the dancing she’s doing is certainly keeping the Pop Princess Perky!

She’s back in front of the camera as well, first in a promotional spoof for Logo, who’s going to honor Britney with their “Always Next, Forever Now Award” at the New Now Next awards on June 13. It’s a spoof off her fragrances, this one entitled “Mo” for all her gay fans. I don’t know bout you, but this spot makes me giggle…. Check it out!


.

She’s also on the set now for to film her new video for “Radar” - they were filming at a polo field in LA yesterday, and were said to have planned to get it filmed and to the editors in just two days - as she’s about to hit Europe to continue her Circus Tour on Wednesday. The video is directed by Daniel Meeyers, and Britney looks ladylike and proper on the polo field!

In legal news - Britney’s legal team have amended their paperwork that demands Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib pay the court costs for the recent trips to get those pesky restraining orders extended. They’ve decided to give them a break in the cost - that is if you call a mere $8,590 off an $114,555 bill a “break” for Sam Lutfi, and $65,552 (down from $72,292) for Adnan. Seems to me that stalking our Britney is an EXPENSIVE mistake!

Fan rushes stage- is arrested!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

britney-spears-nassau2.jpgIn Connecticut on Saturday, Britney was performing “Womanizer” when a fan rushed the stage at the Mohegan Sun Arena during the Encore. He apparently climbed over the security barriers and then jumped on stage with her. A couple of videos have made it to youtube - the second one showing a clear look at Britney’s face as she screams for him to get out! The closest dancers grabbed/escorted him off the stage while a shaken Britney finished the encore.

The fan, 22 year old Kyle King, was arrested outside for “breach of peace” and also charged with interfering with police when he refused to co-operate. It was reported that he was definitely drinking. He was released the next morning after paying a $250 bond - he’s due in court on June 18th.

Scary! I don’t blame Britney at all for being frightened, though it is a tiny bit funny to see her scream but not to hear anything at all, when we’ve heard about the random statements she yells at times (Merry Christmas being one, and Rock out with our Cock out making me giggle with glee…). Guess the Mic wasn’t hot - and probably a good thing considering that CT apparently breeds crazy ass fans.

Check it out:


.

Wonder who’s gonna get fired from the security detail for this one, hm? Someone was definitely sleeping on the job!

Briefly, in other news, the restraining order against Adnan and crew has been extended for three years. Unsurprisingly, he plans to appeal. Some guys just can’t take a damn hint, can they?

Circus getting her down?

Friday, April 24th, 2009

britney-spears-canada-3189-6.jpg Overall the tour has been going fantastically! There have been some bobbles here and there, but Britney’s Circus seems to still be headed in the right direction, even through a halt of the show because of dangerous smoke levels, an unsteady platform, and… losing her hair?

During one portion of the concert, two guys dangle from the ceiling and pick her up, and spin her around. Check out what happened the other night during that move…


.
…OUCH. That could not have felt good at all, even if the extensions were loose to begin with. just… ouch.

Sources say that the choreography is insane, and starting to take it’s tole on Britney. She’s not sure how much more she can take and some nights has complained of nausea and dizzinees, and even ran off stage to vomit because of it.

She does have a couple weeks in May off between tour dates, so hopefully she’ll be able to get some rest and relaxation in so that she can finish the tour strong.

In other news, she won’t have to appear in court to testify in her fight to win permanent restraining orders against three of her former companions - a judge declared that she was not fit to take the stand in the case against Sam Lutfi, Jon eardley and Adnan Ghalib. The restraining order against Adnan is in place for three years, but Lutfi and Eardley are still contesting the case in court, with Eardley demanding the singer testify. The judge shot it down though, telling the court “There was a finding of a judge of the Superior Court that she lacks the capacity to testify.”

Love on Tour?

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

chasebrit.jpgInsiders have been busy chattering about the relationship that’s reportedly going on behind the curtains of Britney’s Circus Tour! They’re saying that there is a new Boy Toy in Britney’s life, and it’s grown from flirtation to all out fireworks.

The man in question is backup dancer Chase Benz, who’s 21 and sports a chiseled bod he gets to bump and grind every night on stage with our girl. Star Magazine’s source reports that Brit really loves the way that Chase looks, and has a thing for charming southern boys. “She’s totally into him. And being on tour again, plus having a sexy new guy to get close too has put brit into a great frame of mind.”

Chase is a stand up guy, too - according to his grandma. She told Star that he’s “a true gentleman and has a big heart.” He’s a church going, Jesus loving good ole boy who “happens to know how to dance.”

Is it just me, or does this feel like a rerun of K-fed? What will Papa Spears say?

If you seek Amy!

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

amy68Last night, Madonna made a surprise appearance at Britney Spears’ Circus show in New York City at the Nassau coliseum. Madonna didn’t hop on stage with her, but she made sure several saw her walk to the VIP suites with her manager Guy Oseary. Apparently you don’t have to use the main stairs to get to the suite, but you know Madonna - it’s go big or go home, and she certainly wasn’t going home!

Madonna watched the entire show, though she chose to slip out during the Womanizer Encore to avoid the crowds. Britney’s bitches (What? that’s what they call themselves!) left a note on the official site, saying that Brit “was thrilled to have her there!”

Her next show is in New Jersey on Friday.

In the mean time, today saw the debut of the awaited If You Seek Amy music video - so check it out!

So what do you think? Love it? Leave it? Wanna If You Seek A(my) it?

Love the ringmaster costume? Over at Britney’s official site, they’re putting up a series of Stage to Street with suggestions on how to make the look your own! Here’s here they found some of the key pieces:

1) “Lucky” Leopard Feather Headband / LovMely ($27) - Use for Furry shoulder pads and the tiger headdress!

2) “Olivia” Toggle Peacoat / Forever 21 ($44.80) - Tails are a bit much for most of us, this little read coat is the perfect winter Circus look!

3) “Mogul” Black Patent Lace Up Ankle Boot / Michael Kors ($197.50) - Shorter, but more comfortable than the one Britney wears!

4) “Drew” Braided Waist Belt / Forever 21 ($9.80) - A fun, new trend being seen a lot on the runways is putting different belts on jackets with belt loops. You can give your outfit an extra kick of color by doing this. This braided belt also really captures the texture of her ‘Circus’ jacket’s golden accents.

5) Lamé Black Shiny Leggings / American Apparel ($42) - These are the hottest leggings on the Hollywood scene. With these, you can get the same fluid texture as Britney, but with more coverage. You can cut them off at your preferred length, then SAVE the remaining legs for another look!

So get your Circus on!

Taking a breather

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

SPL85918_003Britney’s tour is going really well - despite a wardrobe malfunction or two, and bruised from all of the stunts and dancing - and Britney is now in Miami to take a couple days off before her next tour date this weekend in New York. Wednesday, the show will be at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, then there will be back-to back shows at the Prudential Center in Newark, new Jersey.

To relax, Britney went to Disney World with the boys, Sean and JJ, and has spend her days poolside at her hotel in Miami. With her boys nearby, she shows of that incredible bikini bod, and was even seen practicing some dance moves as she laughed and joked with friends and family.

Britney looks amazing - confident and poised, and extremely happy to be back on stage once again - and we couldn’t be happier for her!

Pictures!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

SPL84101_001As promised in the last post - here’s some of the first pictures that have come rolling through!

Britney looks FANTASTIC and we are UBER jealous of all of you with tickets!

No one exciting ever comes to Alaska. Harumph.

But at least we can look at the pretty pictures! Check it out!

WOW! The Circus is in TOWN!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

SPL84497_007The reviews are coming in from the opening night of Britney’s Circus Tour - and all accounts are GLOWING! Our girl is BACK and she is looking FIERCE!

From the set list to Perez himself who was in the audience, and has aready posted a glowing review, everyone is talking about what’s going on under Britney’s Big Top, and will undoubtedly continue to do so!

She started out the show descending from the New Orleans Arena ceiling - seemingly right back into the hearts of all of the waiting fans. The show was called a “spectacle - it really looks like a three-ring circus” and as for Britney herself? “She looked great, her outfits were fab and her ody was bangin! Her leg muscles are redic!”

There were pyrotechnics, dancing, old favorites like Toxic and Baby One More Time, along with songs from Circus, of course. She performed in the round, and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house - the choreography was a little loose at places, but that’s to be expected on opening night and it wasn’t too distracting. The one thing people have been disappointed with is that it’s all lipsync performances - but the dancing and magic and all the extravaganza made up for it, by all reports.

It sounds like it was an AMAZING opening night, and the whole family, including baby daddy KFed, were on hand to support Britney as she continues on her path toward reclaiming her life - we couldn’t possibly be more jealous of everyone who gets to see it live!

Were YOU here? Hit up the contact me button over there and send us a review and we’ll feature it right here! Britney’s back, bitches, and she’s rocking the Big Top - so dish, darlings!

After the cut, check out some video clips from the concert tonight, and we’ll post pictures as they come in.
