Here’s the new music video for the single “Radar”! It’s not like her others - there’s a notable lack of dancing and tight choreography, but it takes us on different type of journey through telling a story.
As always, though, Britney looks fantastic! So happy, an fit, it’s astonishing the difference now from just a couple years ago. Though I’m still not sure I’m digging the brunette look… it startles me every time I see her! What do you think about it? Though I do love that green tanktop she was wearing to get her starbucks yesterday - love the color - and love how she always looks put together, even dressed down. She makes it look easy, ya’ll.
Britney’s been rehearsing hard, and thanks to the official site, britneyspears.com, we get to see just how toned and fit she’s looking! Her abs have been the object of many a case of jealousy (or is that just me?) and she’s showing it off even in the middle of the workouts.
The tour looms ever closer, and while some worry that she’s not ready, the photos and information we’ve seen point to the opposite. She looks good, sounds good, and with every promo performance, she improved, getting her feet under her and her moves down. By the time opening night rolls around on March 3, I think “Circus, starting Britney Spears” 2009 tour will be AMAZING!
It’s hard to believe that 10 years ago this week, Brit’s debut album, Hit Me Baby one More Time was released! Man, I feel old…
We know the next single is If You Seek Amy, which means we’ve got a new video to look forward too as well! Think you have better ideas then we’ve seen so far? A concept that will make the new video ROCK? Over at the official site, Brit’s Babes are taking storyboard submissions, and they’ll post the best of the best there for all of us to enjoy! So grab you’re pencils, pens, paper, and all those ideas, pop the single into the ipod on repeat, and show them what you’ve got!
The fan videos and cover art and photos that they post are some of the best out there - Britney’s fans are certainly a talented bunch!
The second single from the upcoming Circus has been leaked - and you can listen to it right here! It’s another dance floor romp, inspired by Britney’s ever following paparazzi. Check it out!

Lance Bass is thrilled with the comeback of our Pop Princess, and he told MTV so! “I am totally stoked to see Britney come back. I think it’s going to be one of the biggest comebacks you’ve ever seen… but I think, personally, she’s ready to explode again.” We agree Lance! Now get back to Dancing with the Stars!
Along with her upcoming appearance on the X-Factor in London, Britney is on track to perform on Star Academy on November 28th! No wonder she and the boys are in Louisiana now, she’ll be spending Thanksgiving in Europe!
Last but not least - according to SDON.com, the European Delux Edition of Circus will feature Rock Me IN and Phonography as well as a bonus DVD featuring the making of Circus and the Womanizer video, with a special photo gallery! No need to be TOO jealous though, as according to Amazon, the US Deluxe Edition of Circus will include the same DVD with all the trimmings, as well as a special Collector’s two-sided poster! You can pre-order the deluxe edition at Amazon now if you want to be one of the first to receive it!
And don’t forget, in preparation for the Documentary which will be aired on MTV, the channel will have a music video special dedicated to Brit and her 10 years of hit music videos. “Britney Fans: For the Record will debut on November 16 at 10pm. It’s rumored to be streaming online as well, so check it out!
Britney also won two EMAs! She won Best Act of 2008 as well as Album of the Year for Blackout!
Thursday, the paparazzi were surprised to see the flipflop in Papa Spears and Britney’s relationship, if only briefly, as Britney accompanied Jamie to a doctor’s appointment in Hollywood. As they were there, the buzz mounted with the excited speculation that Britney might be hitting the stage next to Madonna that night! Word was that Justin and Britney would be making cameo’s at Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour at Dodger Stadium.
The rumors were true!
During the fourth song, Britney appeared on stage behind Madonna, looking fantastic as they collaborated on “Human Nature”. One of the concert goers told the press that it was a completely different Britney then we saw a year ago. “She was glowing! It looked like she actually wanted to be on the stage!” Ex-boyfriend Justin made his appearance as promised as well, joining Madonna for their song “4 Minutes” which got the high profile crowd singing along.
Check out Britney’s appearance below!
Also on Thursday, news came that Britney was not going to star as the Virgin Mary after all.
(Um, scuse me while I giggle a moment, because really? REALLY people? HAHAAHAHAH!)
According to FOX Pop Tarts, the role was right but the timing is wrong. Britney loved the script, and is aided by the fact that she’s not nearly as scandalous in Europe, but in the end, the producers of the film “Sweet Baby Jesus” decided in agreement with Britney that now is not the right time.
That seemed to be the only low spot in the weekend though, as after the big night at Dodger’s Stadium, Britney was allowed to take the boys home to Louisiana for the the first time since giving up full custody to ex-hubby K-Fed! Britney, Sean Preston and Jayden James were seen arriving in Kentwood Louisiana early Friday morning. Papa Spears and brother Bryan were along, as Mama Spears greeted the family at the airport excitedly. Insiders say they will spend a whole week back home, letting the boys get to know their cousin Maddie Briann and reconnect with Aunt Jamie Lynn!
Thinks keep getting better and better for Britney - and we couldn’t be happier for her!
TMZ.com reported this morning on the matter between Dr. Phil and the Spears family:
Jamie and Lynne Spears slammed — and we mean slammed — Dr. Phil this morning, calling the way he handled his contact with Britney a betrayal, inappropriate and a total breach of their trust.
Spears family rep Lou Taylor told Meredith Vieira on the “Today” show that Dr. Phil actually broached the subject of doing a show about Britney, but that they nixed the idea, only to have Phil try to set up the show anyway and even go as far as ADVERTISE the exclusive. Taylor scorched Phil, saying it was even “inappropriate” for Phil to bring up doing a show, and that the family thought it would be detrimental to Britney. (more…)
Britney Spears almost bailed on her latest half a million dollar music video shoot…that is, until she found out Jive Records was going to give the shoot to an up-and-coming new artist. (more…)
Despite rumors that Britney Spears is going to be a mom again, her pal Sam Lufti tells People Magazine the singer is not pregnant. Following a cover story published by In Touch magazine, which claims the singer is four weeks pregnant with producer J.R. Rotem’s baby, Lufti said in a text message to People Magazine, “It’s just BS. Big Lie.? (more…)
While lawyers were in two L.A. courthouses yesterday, Monday, arguing over her various driving violations and custody issues, Britney Spears spent her time readying for her next musical move: a new video.
Usmagazine.com has learned that production on the video for her single “Piece of Me? was scheduled to begin this morning at 8 a.m. at Social Hollywood. A source tells Us that the video will be directed by Wayne Isham, who helmed the video for the 2002 Brit hit, “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.?
A set source tells Us that since Spears, 25, has a scheduled visit with sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, on Tuesday, she will only be available to film for two hours, between noon and 2 p.m. During that time she will shoot scenes where she dances on a bar and runs down a staircase. There will be 15 extras, as well as a body double for Brit. (more…)
More court documents in the ongoing custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were released Thursday, which revealed some intimate details about their finances.
• Federline, earned more than a half million dollars in 2006, mainly from entertainment and endorsement deals – but minus business expenses, he only grossed $7,436 that year.
• Spears earns approximately $737,000 per month.
• Federline receives $15,000 a month in child support payments from his ex. (The amount may change, depending on how much more custodial time he ends up getting.) He is entitled to child support payments until Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, become adults, since Spears is the higher earner.
• The documents also reveal that Federline earned $3,300 in royalties in 2006 for his debut song “Popozao.?
I was just looking back through some old posts that I wrote about Britney, and did I call it or DID I CALL IT?
Back when Britney and Paris were friends, in those first days of crotch-exposing yore, Paris taught Britney how to pole dance. She strapped a blue tutu on Britney, and donned a matching one herself, and they went at it. Nevermind that Paris has a stripper pole installed in her home – that’s neither here nor there – because way back then I predicted that Britney would use her new stripper moves in her next video. (more…)
The stripper-esque video for Britney’s newest song, Gimme More, has been released - and it’s heating up the charts! I found it on YouTube if you want to watch it, but word to the wise: the sound quality is almost painful to listen to. (more…)
Britney.com, Britney’s official site through her record label, Jive Records, recently underwent a design change to promote her Gimme More video premiere.
This redesign goes along with Jive Records’ accouncement that MTV & VH1 will both add the new Gimme More video to its cycle beginning this Monday, October 8, 2007. Considering the possibility of a TRL premiere, I’m wondering if Britney will make an appearance on TRL sometime soon…
BritneySpearsWatch.com is trying to figure out what happened with Britney’s VMA performance. We’ve scoured the Internet and have found several good excuses - which one do you think Britney will choose? (more…)
In case you didn’t catch Britney’s performance at the 2007 VMAs, I’ve got you covered. (And if you didn’t catch it? You didn’t miss anything. And if you did see it? Tell me: how long were you able to watch before you started groaning in sympathy for Britney? Oh Britney, how far you have fallen. We all had such high hopes.)
There was out-of-synch lip-synching. Lethargic movements that seemed like they were choreographed by a dance instructor for a nursing home. The paunch in place of Britney’s once-taut belly. At times Britney just stopped singing altogether, as if even she knew nothing could save her performance. The camera panned to the audience and showed P. Diddy in complete boredom. Yes, it was that bad. (more…)
