The All-American Rejects, hot off their December release of When The World Comes Down, have taken their time in the Yahoo! Music studio to bring a stripped down version of Britney Spears’ hit “Womanizer” to life. Packed with an accordion, clanking beer bottles, and a unison of “whooooos” the cover is described by frontman Tyson Ritter as “better than Britney” and can be seen at Yahoo! Music.
In another stripped down performance, The All-American Rejects’ performed their hit single, “Gives You Hell” acoustically. The band has uploaded the bare-bones version that can be heard at myspace.com/allamericanrejects.
The pop star is getting ready for her next world tour… or isn’t really getting ready actually since she has failed to participate at rehearsals due to her diminished dancing ability, as a source states: “She missed some early dance practices and wasn’t dedicated about turning up at meetings.” Also, her father and her attorney seem to have taken control of her finances now too. The papers by which this has been decided state that Britney is “substantially unable to manage her financial resources or to resist fraud or undue influence” and “unable properly to provide for his or her personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.” So basically, she’s like a mental patient now… no wonder she can’t dance anymore, maybe she’s afraid to so that it will not be decided in court that her father should control when and how she dances.
Country singer Taylor Swift has reclaimed the #1 billing and with that the top spot on the Billboard’s U.S. pop album chart for the third time in non-consecutive weeks. That is remarkable in some ways because after taking the top spot her album did see a dip and has climbed back to that position not once but twice.
This is a clear indication for her growing popularity and the nineteen year-old took the spot on Wednesday with her release Fearless, which sold 330,000 copies on the week ending December 21.
Taylor Swift beat R&B star Keyshia Cole, her debut album A Different Me sold 322,000 copies, taking in the number two spot in its opening week. Jamie Foxx who was also making his debut with the album Intuition grabbed the 3rd spot, with sales of 265,000 copies.
Britney Spears successful comeback seems to be continuing for now with Circus selling 196,000 copies which put Britney at the forth position. In fifth place is Beyonce with her release I Am…Sasha Fierce, sold 195,000.
Britney Spears is going to fly all over to India where is will be reportedly meeting the legendary Indian choreographer Sandip Soparrkar. The rumor is that Britney has received a lot of bad press in recent times over her slightly inappropriate dance steps and wants help from the Indian master so that she can connect with the humane side of her.
The 27-year-old singer – who is at the moment at the top of the world as her new album ‘Circus’ has brought her more success and is now planning to meet with Sandip in the Indian city of Jodhpur to work on moves for her upcoming world tour.
The main point here is that she wants to leave no stone unturned for the success of her world tour and wants to make sure that fans get to see a new Britney Spears one that fans have never seen before.
Sandip said: “I’ll be meeting her for work only, when she visits Jodhpur. We’ll just be doing a bit of rehearsals, since I am planning to do the rumba, which is the dance of love. Britney is really looking forward to coming to India.

Industry insiders are predicting that Britney Spear’s latest album ‘Circus’ is on track to sell over 450,000 copies and will be on the top spot of the charts after a week of sales. Experts had previously thought that the recovered singer will only sell around the 350,000 mark in the first week. She proved them wrong big time! It goes to show that people still care about Britney despite the craziness of the past year. This is a huge victory for the singer especially considering the fact that her last album ‘Blackout’ only sold 290,000 copies its debut week. Congratulations!
Britney Spears takes the December 11 cover of Rolling Stone magazine. USA Today released a couple of snippets from her interview. In a comment about her two sons Sean and Jayden, she also took a dig at her ex husband Kevin Federline saying “Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they’re such special people. But they are starting to learn words like ‘stupid’ and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn’t get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids.”

Britney Spears flew in to Germany this past Monday for a mini-tour before her new album ‘Circus’ is officially released. Her MTV documentary ‘Britney: For the Record’, premiered this past Sunday. In the documentary, the recovered singer revealed that she married Kevin Federline for all the wrong reasons. She shared “Your music is a reflection of what you’re going through. It’s such a part of me, the record, because of what I’ve gone through. I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything.”
The singer recently said that she has had a very nasty year. She had this to say: The whole year has been a hell of a year for me. I have been working so hard on my album, but I didn’t know exactly where I stood with everyone. When I received my MTV Video MTV Music Awards and the audience stood for me, it showed me how much love is out there. Recording this album has helped take my mind off certain things. For me, my music is therapy.” I remember at some point that some people actually deal in getting audiences for shows, so many Britney Spears is a bit confused. Those people there were maybe just doing her job. She is to release her new album today. I’m sure we’ll see exactly how much she has really worked on it.
Britney Spears’ new album ‘Circus’ has leaked in its entirety all over the internet recently. It was more than two weeks ahead of the anticipated release. It shouldn’t be too hard to find. To be honest, I like it less than ‘Black Out’ except for the track ‘If U Seek Amy’ which is a pretty killer track. It’s just too bad that it’s a rip off of Jessie Malakouti’s ‘Trash Me’. The similarities are just too much to be ignored. Not to mention that the producers run in the same circles. There’s a great chance that they heard Jessie’s track before and though that it will be a great song for Britney.
Britney Spears will be celebrating her twenty-seventh birthday this year with the release of her sixth studio album, Circus. The highly anticipated album set for a December 2nd release features the # 1 hit “Womanizer” as well as collaborations with Max Martin, Dr. Luke, Danja, Guy Sigsworth (Madonna, Alanis Morissette) and more. Britney recently had a triple win at this year’s MTV VMAs.

MTV will air a 90-minute documentary about Britney Spears’ return to the pop music spotlight. The recovering starlet says “So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know. I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.” ‘For the Record’ is set to air on November 30.
It was reported that Britney Spears’ single ‘Womanizer’ went back into the studio for remixing and remastering after a radio station leaked it out. Adam Davis, the intern at Nashville’s 107.5 The River radio station who leaked the clip of the song, was canned. His former official site said “Don’t expect any posts from [Intern Adam]. He is not here. We are sorry to inform you he is not on the air with ‘Woody & Jim In The Morning’. No details will be given at this time, however we are sure you can fish around the internet gossip blogs to figure stuff out.”
Yes! I am not kidding or joking. I swear by God that I have seen the pop queen Britney Spears serving on the tables in a restaurant.
Do you still think that I may be sleeping at that time?
But NO, I am damn confident that I was awake and I saw her with my own eyes.
Well! In fact it was the latest music video of the “Crazy” singer.
The title of the song is “Womanizer” and it is quite similar to her other pre-Blackout videos.
Apart from Britney, who played a waitress and an erotic dancer, the other dancers also sported waiter uniforms which consisted of white shirts, skinny ties and black pants/ leggings.
“Womanizer,” is the first single by the pop star in her upcoming album “Circus”.
Britney Spears wore a custom Versace dress, H Stern Jewels and Versace shoes as she received the award for Best Female Video for ‘Piece of Me’ at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles last weekend. Britney had a short comedy sketch with ‘Superbad’ actor Jonah Hill before walking out to the stage to introduce the show. She may not have performed but she did open the show. As the 26-year old singer walked onto the stage, she received a standing ovation. During her acceptance speech, she thanked God and her two sons. Later that night, she also picked the top award, Video of the Year for ‘Piece of Me’.
Just days after her mother Lynn Spears’ tell-all book about the Barbie doll of pop music, Britney Spears was caught on tape while stealing the famous “Moonman” statuettes (Just concentrate on the look on her face in the photo).
Britney is back and back with a BANG!
Dressed in an immaculate silver frock, strappy heels and a beautiful smile, she looted the event by grabbing the first three moonman statuettes of her career.
After a disastrous performance at the last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, she proved that she is the darling of pop music.
Britney Spears started the MTV VMA 2008 by saying, “Thank you so much. Thank you for all the love. I’m here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday, the 25th anniversary of the VMAs. This is the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and it starts right now.”
The stunning pop singer won the awards for video of the year, best pop video and best female video, all for the tune “Piece of Me”.
The debate is whether she is here to stay or it was just another spike in her cherished career, but whatever it was Britney truly swept the event.
Britney Spears’ cameo video appearance on Madonna’s ‘Sticky & Sweet’ tour has leaked onto YouTube. The clip was from the Queen of Pop’s kickoff show at the Millennium Stadium in the Welsh city of Cardiff a couple of weeks back. Brit is seen stuck in an elevator and whispering the lines “express yourself, don’t repress yourself” and ends with her saying “It’s Britney b—.” Maybe this is some twisted indication that Britney will be back on tour some time soon too. At the rate her improvements are going, it’s not that far off to believe. Someone’s making a comeback and she wants everyone to know.
