Brit's Lawyer: She'll Sing, I Promise

2009-04-04T04:52:00.002-07:00

TMZ has learned the attorney for Britney Spears' conservatorship has guaranteed Britney will meet all her obligations on her concert tour -- and he's putting his money where his mouth is.

We've obtained documents showing attorney Andrew Wallet has given his personal assurance -- to the tune of $1.5 million -- that if Britney flakes out, he'll pay up.

The conservatorship made numerous deals for the tour last year, and vendors wanted to make sure those deals would be honored. It's common practice to get what amounts to a bond when the subject of the contract is under a conservatorship.

The document, which was signed by the court on December 22, 2008, also makes American Contractors Indemnity Company a guarantor.

In short, this means that if Britney goes south, Wallet won't have to open his -- the insurance company will take care of it.

Jamie Spears Squashes Britney Fansite

2009-03-28T02:13:00.000-07:00

Jamie Spears has knocked the wind out of BreatheHeavy.com.

In a note to readers, the purveyor of the "Number One Britney Spears Fansite," stated that the popster's father has demanded that he shut down the website—which has been critical of Britney's present conservatorship arrangement—calling him "an über-fan who has gone too far."

"I have been battling the conservatorship Britney is currently placed under for months now," wrote BreatheHeavy owner Jordan Miller. "When I did not conform to the requests and demands Britney's management and father, Jamie Spears, recently put upon BreatheHeavy to stay quiet, they in turn became angry and malicious, launching, what I feel is an unjust attack, against me and my website."

According to Miller, he received a notice from Jamie's legal camp pressuring him to make the site go away by 3 p.m. PT today or face an injunction.

The legal missive charged Miller with various copyright and trademark violations for posting Britney song lyrics, photos, videos and audio clips without permission.

But Miller, for one, isn't buying it.

"The real issue, in my opinion, is hidden behind these Copyright Infringement claims, rather management, particularly her father/conservator, Jamie Spears, who makes $18,000 a month off his daughter, is desperately trying to hide the truth about Britney's imprisonment, and shut anyone up who disagrees with their conniving and selfish exploitation of an innocent mother of 2 pushed back into the limelight just several months after a hospitalization," Miller writes.

Per the terms of the conservatorship, Jamie collects $2,500 per week from Britney's estate, plus funds to lease a car.

Miller claims that Jamie Spears threatened over the phone "to destroy [his] ass" if he didn't wipe the site clean.

"They are saying that I am using Britney's name and image without her consent to make money, even though the money is going back into the website," Miller, a Las Vegas college student, told E! News Friday. "The lawyers don't care whether or not I'm making [a] profit. They say that any image of Britney I use is infringement and in violation of her right to publicity and privacy."

The Spears lawyers wouldn't give him specific examples of the so-called violations, however, he said. But they have offered to let him keep the site up so long as they have a final say over everything he posts.

"But if they do that it's not my website. It's just another website they can manage and control," Miller said.

BreathHeavy.com is currently up and running, but all links lead to Miller's farewell letter.

"I...want to thank you with all my heart for the loyalty and support you've shown over the last 5 years BreatheHeavy has been open," Miller wrote.

A rep for Spears did not immediately return a request for comment.

Britney Spears to Perform With Michael Jackson?

2009-03-27T11:18:00.000-07:00

Britney Spears is reportedly in talks to join Michael Jackson onstage in London.

The Thriller singer is due to play 50 gigs at the British capital's O2 Arena later this year and throughout 2010.

And he is said to be keen to have the Toxic hitmaker join him on stage during some of the shows.

A source tells The London Paper, "Michael knows that stretching out all those shows and keeping it fresh is going to be hard, and one way to do this is to collaborate with some other big stars that he admires.

"The idea would be for them to do five dates each with him. As well as Britney and Justin, he's in talks with producer Timbaland about doing some of the dates too."

Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Jackson, 50, has requested that he arrive for each of his dates at The O2 Arena by boat, rather than car or helicopter.

Britney Spears' Parents Bite Back at Sam Lutfi's Claims of Neglect and Exploitation

2009-03-22T11:04:00.000-07:00

Britney Spears’ parents are pretty sick of their daughter’s former manager Sam Lutfi and his dirty mouth – and they want the courts to know it.

Jamie and Lynne filed a Motion to Strike in the Los Angeles Superior court last week, alleging that the complaint Lutfi filed against them in February was essentially baseless.

According to the papers, Lutfi’s suit contains “content that appears to be a calculated attempt to exploit the court system by turning a legal pleading into a fanciful public relations press release with no factual or legal moorings.”

Lutfi claimed Brit’s folks failed to “offer their fragile daughter guidance or emotional support” during her downward spiral last year and accused them of financially capitalizing on her misfortunes, controlling every aspect of her life and interfering with her marriage to Kevin Federline.

In the new motion filed, Jamie and Lynne Spears claim that Lutfi’s “far-fetched” depictions of Britney’s personal relationships are “false” and “paint a scandalous picture.” In addition, the Spears allege that his claim that Jamie engaged in harmful physical contact toward him are irrelevant and serve no other purpose than to “excite the passions and prejudices of the public.”

Lutfi’s attorney was not immediately available for comment. The issue is expected to be addressed in court on April 9.

The "Circus" Tour Heading To Australia?

2009-03-22T02:31:00.000-07:00

Will Britney take the "Circus" down under?

According to News.com.au, Britney has plans to take her tour to Australia."Leading concert promoters are in talks with the US singer, and tour dates are expected to be scheduled for later this year. "

"All the promoters are vying for it, but the bottom line is she really wants to come here and she really wants to come here this year," Sony Australia boss Denis Handlin said. Barry Weiss, head of JIVE Records, spoke to Handlin last week about the tour.

"I think the promoters are battling it out at the moment," he said. Frontier Touring's Michael Gudinski confirmed he was in talks with Britney's management, stating there were several promoters after Britney and her possible Australian tour dates."I don't expect anything will be worked out or finalised for a month, but we're in there."

It's still weeks before Britney's Circus tour rolls into town but the singer's already happy to jump through hoops.

Britters's show may be too hot for the kids to see but she won't be ignoring her younger fans.

Between her gigs at London's O2 Arena in June, Brit, 27, plans to visit sick children at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

A source said: "She would really like to do this. In Miami she met up with 40 kids and posed for pictures with them. She found it really moving that just a couple of minutes with the children could mean so much to them."

Britney Spears: You don't go for singing, you go for the show

2009-03-21T11:42:00.000-07:00

You don’t go to a Britney Spears concert for the singing. It’s the same reason you don’t buy her music. You go to her shows and buy her albums because she is Britney Spears. And Britney Spears delivered a second phenomenal show on Thursday night at the Air Canada Centre.

It is important to note that when buying a ticket to see the blonde bombshell live, you are purchasing a seat to witness a spectacle more than a concert. With that mindset, Thursday’s audience could not have been disappointed with the literal and figurative “Circus” that Britney brought north of the border with. It featured Perez Hilton in drag, (on video), many circus acrobats, and the sizzle of many sexy dancers, synonymous with any Spears performance. Undoubtedly paying homage to the circus her life has become, the concert’s theme certainly was a good one as the carnival acts made up for any legs in the two-hour show and especially during Britney’s costume changes. The three-ring stage was a nice touch.

On Thursday, reviewer Mike Doherty said that Britney’s dances on Wednesday lacked the energy that she has displayed in past performances. Perhaps it was the earlier start time, but she definitely sizzled on Thursday’s show.

Really, the show came down to whether the more-than-obvious lip synching bothered you or not. Considering the majority of the audience included young teeny-boppers screaming loudly and more focused on taking photos to send to friends than the music they paid to see, this was definitely not a factor. It was the same case for the horny guys in attendance who were only there to see the leggy blonde rather than to listen to “If You Seek Amy.” As a result, the highly-entertaining show totally delivered.

Notable highlights including Britney actually belting out “Everytime” instead of the Milli Vanilli routine, an inspired Bollywood version of “Me Against The Music” (which was almost as good as seeing Madonna… I kid), and the many precarious positions that Britney found herself gyrating in, obviously including a cage (duh), a wire fence and even a magician’s box where she proceeded to mock-strip behind the curtains.

While I thought it would be a shock to see “Britney The Mom” perform for the first time, it really wasn’t, as her show was just as good as it was a couple of years ago. While many critics like to pigeonhole Spears and all pop artists being prepackaged, Spears has been able to reinvent herself over and over again. While no one expected her to able to recover from the awful VMA performance, she was able to and while she still has a long way to go before recapturing past success, if her “Circus” is any indication, she is on the right path.

You want a piece of her? Go and see this show.

Lopez: 'I felt Britney's pain'

2009-03-11T09:40:00.001-07:00

Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she felt sympathy towards Britney Spears during her public breakdown last year.
The 'I'm Real' star claimed that she found Spears's hospitalisation for mental health issues "painful to watch" and can empathise with some of her problems.

"I understood the pressure she was going through, having been through a divorce, having money, having people depend on you. It will destroy you," she told In Touch magazine.

Lopez, who was previously married to Cuban-born waiter Ojani Noa and dancer Chris Judd, added that she works hard to resolve any problems with husband Marc Anthony.

"If one of us has a complaint, the other one has to listen, no matter how difficult. We have to see if we care enough to change it and if we do care, then we have to change it," she said.

Recent reports have suggested that Lopez has given up on plans to launch a music comeback.

Dad's Control Over Britney To End

2009-03-11T09:40:00.000-07:00

It's a Circus on stage, but off stage it's far less chaotic. A source close to Britney Spears tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that the Circus Tour has been the best thing to happen to the once-troubled singer and she has made so much progress that her father's control over her affairs will end.

"Britney is in a terrific place right now," the source said. "She absolutely loves being back on tour." Initially her father Jamie was worried about the demands of a tour. "He wasn't a big supporter of her going on the road, he didn't want her to take on too much, too soon," the source said.

But "Britney was absolutely adamant that she be allowed to go on tour. She assured her family, and management that she was ready to do this, and that she really needed to do this." And so far she has handled it extremely well, so well, in fact, that RadarOnline.com has learned her father will not accompany her for the entire tour. What's more, people close to the situation are now saying there will be an end to Jamie's conservatorship of Britney.

"This was the plan all along, to slowly get her back to the routine of her life, it (the conservatorship) won't last longer than it needs to," the source said. "Success will be achieved when this conservatorship ends, and Britney is ready to resume full control of her life."

Dancers Get Kicked Off Circus Tour

Only three stops into the tour and Britney Spears' Circus crew has already experienced a few casualties. RadarOnline.com has learned that some of the dancers were recently kicked off for failing their drug tests.
The tour is largely seen as Spears' official comeback, and her team is putting a lockdown on any possible disruptions or distractions.

"I think [the fired dancers] just didn't expect to actually get tested," says the source. "And drugs are just not okay so they had to go."

With the rave reviews Spears has been getting since her kick-off performance in New Orleans on March 3, it seems like are few strict policies make the right recipe for success.

Britney Spears Surprises Kids At Miami Hospital

2009-03-08T01:40:00.000-08:00

Pop star Britney Spears flew into Miami today via private jet and landed in the hospital--but it's not what you think.

Spears stopped by Miami Children's Hospital for a surprise visit with sick kids and to donate $100,000 to the hospital's Big Apple Circus Clown Care, a community outreach program that brings the joys of the circus to hospitalized children at 19 leading pediatric facilities across the United States.

Pediatric radiologist Ricardo Restrepo and Lee Schrager, Director of Media for Southern Wine and Spirits America, arranged for the singer to visit the hospital, saying the circus theme of her tour was a natural tie in for a hospital with clowns.

Spears was with her dad, Jamie, who has been keeping her on a literal tight rope since the pop tart kicked off her Circus tour in New Orleans last week. Although papa Spears tried to prevent us from snapping any shots, we managed to snag one of Brit, who looked surprisingly fresh, dewy and poised, if not a little robotic.

The singer posed for photos with kids, barely spoke beyond "Say cheese," and was in and out in literally ten minutes. But that's OK-- she's busy. Tonight, Brit brings her Circus show to the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Britney's mom Lynne and baby sister Jamie Lynn flew a separate jet into Miami to join her tonight. Those hoping Brit will go batty in Miami tonight should look elsewhere for train wreck material ---(such as the Seminole Hard Rock where Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are trashing a party)----as it is clear her dad has her under serious surveillance.

It's Britney – One More Time!

2009-03-04T12:31:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears descended from the New Orleans Arena ceiling and back into fans' hearts Tuesday night, restarting her career after years of tabloid tumult with a bump-and-grind performance on a Big Top stage.

"Ahhh Britney!" gushed one concert-goer via a Twitter message posted on Spears's Web site, which live-blogged the show in words and cell-phone photos.

As the pop star launched her first tour in five years, the 16-song set began with Spears, 27, being lowered from the rafters in a cage and breaking into the single "Circus," followed by "Piece of Me" and "Radar" with stripper-pole dancing.

"Oh my god, she looks amazing," said Joshua Matassa, 23, from New Orleans. "And the show's a spectacle – it really looks like a three-ring circus."

Later, fire shot out of the middle of the stage during "Slave," and the nearly sold-out 19,000-seat arena broke out into an explosion of screams as Spears performed "Toxic" and "Baby One More Time" back-to-back.

To cap off the show, pyrotechnics made firey rain sprinkle down on Spears and her dance crew as they finished performing "Womanizer."

"Thank you so much," said Spears as she blew a kiss to the crowd. "You have a good night."

The performance marked a dramatic return to form for Spears, who's been rehearsing for the 32-city tour, and placed aside – for now – the issues that derailed her personal and professional lives: the messy divorce from Kevin Federline, losing custody of her children, and the self-acknowledged breakdown that followed.

Instead, Tuesday was a night of celebration and a chance for Spears, who hails from Kentwood, about 100 miles away, to bask in the glow of hometown fans.

Britney Spears To Bring Out Classic Songs & ‘Wild’ Costumes On ‘Circus’ Tour

2009-03-03T10:13:00.000-08:00

On Tuesday night, Britney Spears will make her comeback to the arena tour circuit and today fans got a sneak peek of the pop princess’ set list.

The singer’s official Web site posted the set list for, “The Circus starring Britney Spears,” tour, and fans now know that the show will be packed with a host of Brit’s most beloved songs.

he show will kick off with the title track from Britney’s sixth studio album, “Circus,” and will be followed by “Piece of Me,” from 2007’s “Blackout.”

Other Britney favorites cropping up on the set list include a Bollywood version of “Me Against The Music,” the song Britney originally dueted on with Madonna, leading some to wonder if the Queen of Pop will be appearing by video on Brit’s tour. After all, Britney did the very same for Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” jaunt last year.

Britney will also perform “Toxic,” and a remix of her uber-classic first single, “Baby One More Time.”

The encore will include “Womanizer” and another version of the opening song, “Circus.”

And, according to Women’s Wear Daily, design house Dsquared has only just finished up the pop star’s costumes for the upcoming 30-date trek.

Dan and Dean Caten, who make up Dsquared, were brought on last year to design stage wear for Britney and they told WWD they were honored to be a part of the “Circus.”

“We are enormous fans of Britney, and have been waiting for the perfect moment to collaborate with her,” twin designer Dan and Dean told the fashion daily. “It’s going to be wild.”

K-Fed Joins Spears Family for Tour

2009-03-02T05:26:00.000-08:00

As reported by OK! on Friday, Britney Spears and her boys made the return trip to her home state of Lousiana, where she'll be kicking off her big comeback tour this week.

And now another member of the clan has landed in the Big Easy, as Brit's ex, Kevin Federline flew to New Orleans over the weekend so he can join his boys, Sean Preston, 3, and 2-year-old Jayden James, while they travel with mom on her cross-country Circus extravaganza.

As agreed to last summer following a lengthy and nasty custody battle, Kevin maintains sole physical custody of the former couple's children. But after significant negotiations between lawyers for both two sides, Brit and her onetime rapper ex arranged for her to have the boys with her during the tour.

Perhaps in his down time while the kids are napping and mom's rehearsing, Kevin will be working on his clothing line for kids?

Britney's tour is going to be amazing

2009-02-28T09:54:00.001-08:00

P!nk shows off her circus skills again, this time at a secret gig at the Palais De Nikaia in Nice, and proves that even though Britney might have an album called "Circus," P!nk is master of this ring.

The singer - who resembled a vaudeville pirate - wore enormous red high heels, skin-tight red pants, a huge head-dress and a feathered bushy tail. You know, her normal afternoon outfit.

The acrobatic singer did sweat-inducing-just-to-look-at stuff like: balance on a hoop suspended from the ceiling and then charge around showing off her steely abs. Oh and sing songs of course, but I mean really sing (no lip-syncing here Brit Brit!)

Just over two months ago, MusicToob reported that P!nk was photographed at the Santa Monica Pier amusement park in California learning to be a trapeze artist. This was clearly part of her training for her current stage antics. However, she is no stranger to the world of acrobatics. During her last tour with Justin Timberlake, P!nk climbed large pieces of silk hanging from the ceiling with ease.

Now what does this have to do with Ms. Spears? Well, she is putting the finishing touches on her "Circus" tour, which starts March 3. My pal in Los Angeles saw a sneak peek of Brit's show last night and her words were simply "just saw the first half of Britney Spears' 'Circus' tour! Amazing!!! She looks fierce!!!!!" So, it looks like we will have to wait and see who's gonna run this big top.

Los Angeles (E! Online) – Was Britney Spears trying to make a break for it? Or does some avid fan just want her to be able to run free like the wind?

A woman claiming to be Britney left three voice mails last month asking an attorney for help to extricate herself from her ongoing conservatorship, according to audio recordings played to E! News.

On the recordings, the woman says she wants out of the arrangement and indicates that she is at odds with dad Jamie Spears.

In the first message, left at 1:34 a.m. on Jan. 19, she says, in a hushed tone, "Hi, this is Britney Spears. I want Jon Eardley...to represent me as coappointed attorneys for my best interest and best wishes. Goodbye."

A rep for Spears could not be reached for comment, though a source close to the popstar says the voice on the recordings is "absolutely not her."

Eardley was the New York-based attorney, supposedly retained by Sam Lutfi, who last year tried to have Britney's conservatorship case transferred to federal court, claiming her civil rights had been trampled on by her parents and the L.A. Superior Court system.

All of his claims were denied, with a judge ruling that, because Spears had been found unfit to hire her own counsel, Eardley had no grounds on which to work on the singer's behalf.
In the second message, left 20 minutes later, the woman, who misstates the date, says, "Hi, this is Britney Spears. It's January 18th. I just want out of this conservatorship....I'm confined, restrained, stripped of my civil rights and I demand the State of California to review this case because I feel it is meaningful. Bye."

Britney's camp obtained a restraining order against Eardley, whom her father and attorneys have accused of being in cahoots with Sam Lutfi to undermine the conservatorship, on Jan. 30. The order is also in place against Lutfi and former Spears' paramour, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.

In the third message, dated Jan. 21 at 12:29 a.m., the woman says, "Hi, my name is Britney Spears. Um, I called you earlier. I'm calling again because I just wanted to make sure during the process of ending the conservatorship...I just want to be guaranteed that, um, everything will be fine with the process of, um, you guys taking care of everything and...things will be the same as far as...my custodial rights."

In the petition for a restraining order against Lutfi, Eardley and Ghalib, Spears' conservators alleged that the three men had been "working in concert to disrupt the conservatorship." They also attached a letter sent from Eardley to Britney a year ago informing her that "civil rights were violated" and offering his assistance.

Britney Spears Bans Victoria Prince From “Circus” Tour

2009-02-23T04:13:00.000-08:00

The Circus Starring Britney Spears could soon turn into a nightmare–with the pop tart threatening to pull the plug on her first world tour in more three years if her ex-husband brings his new girlfriend along for the ride.

Earlier this month, Britney, desperate to have her toddler sons Sean and Jayden on tour with her, agreed to front ex Kevin Federline $4,000 a week and his own tour bus to bring the boys along. But that could all go up in smoke over K-Fed’s plan to invite main squeeze Victoria Prince to accompany the family on the road.

“Britney doesn’t want Victoria on tour-period. She’s fooling the bill, and she wants to call the shots,” a source reveals in the March 2 edition of The National Enquirer. “Britney doesn’t want to see her boys reach out for Victoria.”

The 26-year-old professional volleyball player has become like a second mom to Britney and Kevin’s sons snce moving into the stay-at-home dad’s Tarzana, California home, tabloid tattles say. “Victoria has been playing full-time mom to the boys since she quit her job at FOX Sports in January. She’s even skipped volleyball practices and games to be with Kevin and the boys.”

Britney Rumor Patrol: Assistant Mystery Solved

2009-02-22T01:18:00.000-08:00

On the eve of her new tour, Britney Spears welcomed back an old face into the fold, re-hiring former assistant Felicia Culotta (who was working for The Jonas Brothers). But the move had Britney watchers wondering, what happened to her other assistant and constant companion Brett? Was this a sign of further turmoil in Spears land?

"Nothing is wrong, there is no chaos, [Brett] just took a vacation," a source confirms to RadarOnline.com exclusively. "The job is too much for one person. Felicia will handle more of the personal stuff and Brett will focus on the business side."

Culotta had parted ways with Spears in 2007. At the time, Culotta sent out an e-mail about the difficult separation saying, "I cannot convince her in ANY way to love herself...I cannot save her from herself." Culotta's ties to the family were so close that she often spent the holidays with them and was viewed as one of Britney's closest advisors and friends.

The Circus tour kicks off on March 3 in New Orleans.

X17 XCLUSIVE - Jamie Spears Gets Served!!!

2009-02-20T02:27:00.000-08:00

X17 cameras were rolling as a process server delivered a copy of the lawsuit filed by Brit's former manager Sam Lutfi.

X17online first revealed that Sam had filed a lawsuit against Jamie, Lynne and Britney claiming breach of contract, defamation and assault.

Sam claimed that he owed more than $800K for the months he spent as Brit's manager. He also alleges that Lynne ruined his reputation in her book Through the Storm in which she says she believed Sam drugged Britney and kept her isolated from her family.

Britney Spears is 50 Cent's Muse

2009-02-14T01:35:00.000-08:00

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 worth while to Brit!

Britney Spears Taking Anti-Anxiety Pills To Beat Pre-Tour Nerves?

2009-02-12T10:14:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears is taking anti-anxiety pills to combat the stress of her upcoming world tour, according to the latest report.

The pop princess - who is said to be suffering panic attacks as the pressure of touring builds up - is reportedly taking a number of prescribed drugs to keep her emotions in check.

"It's scary," a source tells the National Enquirer.

"Her dad Jamie's calling all the shots for Brit - making sure qualified medical people know what they're doing, and trying to talk Brit down from one emotional meltdown after another.

"We know she's been prescribed Valium, plus the anti-anxiety pill Ativan. Mixed with Stattera for her ADHD, Topomax for migraines and Lithium for her bipolar disorder it's a wonder Brit even knows who she is any more."

For now the main concern of Britney's family is to get their daughter through the tour without a repeat performance of last year's breakdown. "There's no kidding around among her family," continues the source.

"They've all stressed this is the last chance for Brit - make Circus a big success of be ready to hang it up and retire.

"Everyone around her is dreading a repeat of the January 2008 fiasco when she fell apart in public. Her CD's doing well, so pulling off this tour without losing her head means Britney Inc. is back in biz and making money."

Britney Spears Plays a Sexy Housewife in New Video

2009-02-12T10:13:00.000-08:00

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.

Britney's Boys Are Going on Tour

2009-02-10T04:46:00.000-08:00

For the "low" price of only $5,000 per week paid out to baby daddy Kevin Federline, Britney Spears' sons Sean Preston and Jayden James will definitely be with their mom during her upcoming tour, according to TMZ.

Britney and K-Fed's lawyers had been wrangling over a deal that would have the boys setting up camp at three different base locations – New Jersey, New Orleans and L.A. – so the pop star could commute to spend time with her kids in between shows on her Circus tour.

The TMZ report says the deal has been signed, and Kevin will receive $5,000 per week, even if he doesn't decide to stay with the boys at any of the rented houses during the week.

The arrangement also allows for Brit to be with her sons three days and nights per week, which will also stay in effect after the tour, which is basically 50/50 custody.

What a difference a year makes... at least in the life of Britney.

Rumor: BRITNEY'S STOLEN DIARIES?

2009-02-04T12:38:00.000-08:00

Bombshell World Exclusive details of Britney's darkest secrets and her panic over the theft!

Britney Spears' secret diaries have been stolen - and the singer has flown into a panic because they contain all the never-before-revealed details of the downward spiral that crash-landed her in a mental ward.

The 27-year-old pop star - who is set to write her memoirs - is missing crucial handwritten journals and video diaries that disappeared from her Beverly Hills home, say sources.

The singer, still under the court-ordered guardianship of her father, Jamie, is hammering out a spectacular $14 million deal to pen several books over the next 10 years - all drawn from her diaries.

But far more important than the money, say insiders, is Britney's urgent need to get her side of the story - in her own words - on paper so her beloved sons Sean, 3, and Jayden, 2, can later understand the forces that both drove and tormented their mother.

"Britney is in a panic over the stolen journals and video interviews done during some of the darkest days of her life," revealed an insider. "She wants desperately to tell her side for her boys.

"She wants them to know the truth - her truth."

In preparation, Britney disclosed startling details of her most trying times, drawing on her personal recollection for her diary confessional.

Now, The ENQUIRER exclusively reveals a fascinating and disturbing sneak preview of what sources say the Britney chronicles will reveal - including: the voices she still hears in her head, her heartbreaking abortion, the shocking reason she shaved her head, her threats to kill her children and much more.

Britney Spears plans to settle in New Jersey for part of 'Circus' tour

2009-02-04T05:10:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears will be a Jersey girl ... at least temporarily. The rehabilitating pop diva plans to keep home bases in New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles during her upcoming "Circus" tour so she has a stable place to stash her two sons while she jets off to regional concert venues.

That's part of an agreement hammered out between Spears and her father and ex-husband Kevin Federline, who had concerns about letting Sean Preston and Jayden James join the tour. No word on where La Spears will alight, but we're taking bets on Bergen County.

The agreement, according to TMZ.com, says that Federline, who has primary custody of the kids, will get at least $4,000 each week that Spears is on tour, and that he would get his own digs in New Jersey and New Orleans as well.

Spears' official website confirms that the boys will be touring with their mama.

Sam Lufti Suing Britney Spears

2009-02-04T05:05:00.000-08:00

The minute Britney Spears isn't embroiled in one legal battle is sure to be a wonderful moment for the formerly troubled pop star – but that's not going to happen just quite yet. Sam Lufti, former creeptastic constant companion has filed a lawsuit against the pop star, reports TMZ.

Lufti, who also tried to be named Britney's conservator earlier this week, (after Britney was granted a restraining order against him and old flame Adnan Ghalib) claims that the Spears family "began a campaign of slander, libel and defamation aimed at discrediting, destroying and physically and emotionally intimidating Lutfi in order to drive him out of Britney's life." Lufti's also looking to collect on some unpaid management fees he says he's owed.

Brit's parents have said that they believed Lufti deliberately kept Britney drugged in order to control her. While under Lufti's influence, Britney shaved her head, attacked a paparazzi with an umbrella, and was admitted to the hospital. Since father Jamie Spears took over his daughter's affairs she's released a hit record, regained her formerly fit body, increased her visits with her children and planned a tour for this spring.

First Look At "Circus" Tour Stage

2009-02-03T05:11:00.000-08:00

Check out the first look at Britney's "Circus" stage!

According to tour director/designer Jamie King, "Britney and I are really excited to conceptualize her Circus tour. We've taken the idea of a traditional 'big-top circus' and given it a Britney Spears twist. This circus is unlike anything you've ever seen before. It's sexy, fun, explosive, and full of surprises. We wanted the stage to resemble the design of a three-ring circus where multiple acts can take place simultaneously. While avoiding such traditional circus elements as live animals, we've created something innovative and exciting using contortionists, dancers, lighting, fire and other special effects. In the end, we just want fans to experience a unique and thrilling concert with Britney."

Britney's camp also cleared the air regarding cancellationrumors, saying:
quote:

"Britney is so excited to kick off her tour. She has been enjoying every moment
of rehearsals and is looking forward to performing in front of a live audience
again. Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney
throughout the duration of her tour."

Brit's Former Boy Toy Half-Naked When Served

2009-02-01T09:24:00.000-08:00

Talk about exposing yourself to the courts! Adnan Ghalib was served with court papers early Saturday morning at his Burbank house with orders to stay away from former fling Britney Spears. The paparazzo was half undressed when he was slapped with the papers…and he wasn’t alone.

“He was naked from the waist up,” a source tells E! News exclusively. “And he was back living with his estranged wife in Burbank.” Ghalib and Azlynn Berry filed for divorce last year after four years of marriage after Ghalib's tryst with the pop tart became public. They appeared to be reunited according to a source.

The Circus star's attorney filed for restraining orders against Ghalib, Sam Lutfi and attorney Jon Eardly on Friday claiming they were attempting to undermine her conservatorship.

A hearing is set on the restraining orders for Feb. 23. Ghalib did not respond to an E! News request for comment.

Lutfi, Ghalib Claimed They Had Britney Secrets

2009-01-31T00:37:00.000-08:00

TMZ has just obtained declarations from Jamie Spears and others in the latest Britney Spears case -- Britney's lawyer says Sam Lutfi had inserted himself and tried peddling false and hurtful info about Jamie, Britney and others in her family.

Sam allegedly was calling lawyers saying that Britney wanted to hire her own lawyer, presumably to fight the conservatorship. Sources tell TMZ that is definitely not what Britney wanted.

As we first reported, the conservators for Britney Spears obtained a restraining order today against Sam Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib and attorney Jon Eardley. We're told Brit herself is furious at Lutfi and Ghalib and would like to see them jailed.

One of the lawyers in the case filed a declaration saying over the past month she received "multiple telephone calls and text messages from Lutfi." She says Lutfi wanted to set up an urgent meeting to "speak with Mr. Spears and me with regard to what he claimed was 'information he had received about Mr. Spears and his daughter, Britney Spears as well as others.'" The attorney also says Lutfi claimed "he had been talking with Adnan Ghalib about the conservatorship and Ms. Spears' status as a conservatee."

In another document, one of the conservatorship lawyers claims "Mr. Lutfi has sent text messages and instant messages that contain false and hurtful allegations concerning Mr. Spears, Ms. Spears, and the Spears family." The lawyer continues, "Mr. Lutfi, Adnan Ghalib, and Jon Eardley sought unsuccessfully to induce an attorney to file" false statements with the court.

Under the TRO, Lutfi, Ghalib and Eardley must stay 250 yards away from Britney, her parents and her kids.

Interesting fun fact: In the petition for the TRO, it says Brit has been communicating with Adnan and that "Ms. Spears innocently informs Mr. Ghalib of her destinations and that he then arranges for paparazzi to meet and film her to his financial benefit."

The resurgent star's conservatorship obtained a temporary restraining order Friday against Spears' former manager Sam Lutfi and her onetime paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, both frequent companions of hers during the period she was known more for meltdowns than catchy pop melodies. (View the order.)

A hearing for is scheduled for Feb. 23 to review the matter. Britney's parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears, and her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden, are also included under the umbrella of protection.

Ghalib and Lutfi, who hasn't been welcomed at casa Spears or anywhere else Britney can be found for some time, couldn't immediately be reached for comment. The order is also in place against attorney Jon Eardley, who early last year was enlisted by Lutfi to work on getting Britney's conservatorship overturned.

Britney's Circus Goes Platinum!

2009-01-31T00:35:00.000-08:00

Congratulations Britney Spears! Her album, Circus, has officially been certified platinum by the R.I.A.A.

The announcement was made on Monday, ahead of the pop singer's North American Headline tour, set to kick off in March.What a difference a year makes! The success of Brit's album is the topper to what has truly been a remarkable comeback by the "Womanizer" star. Since her father Jamie Spears took over as her conservator, Britney has recommitted herself to her career, slimming down to her original fit figure and reconnecting with her family.

Noticeably gone from the singer's life are former "friends" Sam Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib. According to TMZ, Brit's conservators obtained a restraining order against the two on Thursday. A source close to the conservatorship tells TMZ that Brit herself asked her conservators to "protect her from Sam and Adnan."

She reportedly told her conservators that she is afraid of them both and hoped they could be locked up in jail.

The conservators believe that Lutfi and Ghalib conspired to undermine Britney's conservatorship in a way that would have been extremely harmful to her. And remember attorney, Jon Eardley, the guy Lutfi used early last year to mount an attack against the conservatorship? He was allegedly in on the conspiracy as well.

What was your favorite off-screen moment with Britney on
How I Met Your Mother?

"She was very embarrassed when she flubbed up on her lines, you know, everyone does. I do, as well. She'd hop into her accent, [it] would come up real strong and she'd go, 'Oh gosh yall, I'm sorry, yall.' Then she'd hop back into character again, which is kind of funny." - Neil Patrick Harris

If Britney were to return to How I Met Your Mother for another guest appearance, where would you like to see her storyline go?

"She was stalking me for the last show and then I steered her towards Ted, so here's to hoping she'd attack Ted Mosby. That would be hilarious."

Britney and Madonna Set to Tour Australia

2009-01-29T05:09:00.000-08:00

PEOPLE power - and a large cheque - have reportedly lured Madonna Down Under after she dodged Australia on her previous three tours.

And pop fans could also see Britney Spears for the first time. A Madonna show at Telstra Dome has been pencilled in for September 29 and is tipped to be confirmed this week.

Worried Britney might skip Melbourne? Log on to her blog and convince the pop princess to visit Victoria!
The Telstra Dome date - a Tuesday - would not clash with the venue’s AFL commitments.
Fans may have to shell out $150 for the cheapest seats, given the falling Australian dollar and Madonna’s high production costs.

Seats closest to the stage could sell for as much as $400. The itinerary was posted on her promoter’s website, Live Nation, yesterday. It listed shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Perth, as well as Europe and Japan, before being swiftly removed.

Madonna will extend her 2008 Sticky and Sweet tour - which became one of the highest-grossing tours in history, making $420 million - to visit places she missed last year. Fan forums are already suggesting the diva should ditch many of the songs from the flop Hard Candy album for a greatest hits set.

Her Australian promoter Michael Coppel yesterday refused to comment.

Madonna’s last Australian tour was in 1993. Several Australian promoters are negotiating to bring Britney Spears to Australia for the first time, also in September. Dates have been tentatively discussed for indoor shows in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as New Zealand.

Insiders say Spears’ Circus tour will be one of the biggest productions to play indoor venues in Australia. Britney’s world tour begins in New Orleans in March. Ticket sales for the tour have already reached 600,000.

Z100 needs Britney Spears to clean up

2009-01-25T01:50:00.000-08:00

New York’s top radio station, Z100, is dying to play Britney Spears’ newest single, “If U Seek Amy.”

But first her label is going to wash the song out with soap. “We plan to play an edited, super-clean version,” says Tom Poleman, senior vice president of programming for Clear Channel, parent of WHTZ (100.3 FM). “We’re just waiting for a good edit.”

“Amy,” the third single from Spears’ hit comeback CD “Circus,” has kicked up a firestorm over the title phrase, which when spoken rapidly spells out a crude sexual phrase. While popular music has a long history of double entendre, this is more like a single entendre, since the phrase in the song seems to have no other meaning.

Jive Records, Spears’ label, has promised a re-edited version of the song that cleans up the offending line, said Sharon Dastur, Z100 program director.

“The record label will be providing the edit,” said Dastur. “They've been letting us preview some potential options to make sure it's appropriate. “Last I heard, they were going to have Britney go back into the studio to re-record some tracks for it.”

The song caused some buzz when “Circus” was released, but it remained limited while two other songs were promoted as singles on the radio. The controversy rekindled when the watchdog Parents Television Council (PTC) threatened to file indecency complaints with the Federal Communications Commission against any station that played “Amy.”

Clear Channel, which laid off 9% of its workforce this week, is hardly in the mood to finance an FCC fight right now.

Clear Channel CEO John Hogan also pledged before Congress several years ago, in the wake of the Janet Jackson scandal, to institute a “zero tolerance” policy on broadcast indecency.

Neither Spears’ camp nor Jive has issued any public comment. But record companies are rarely unhappy about anything that draws attention to their material, and Spears has thrived for years on sex controversies, personal and professional.

The Jive Web site currently features a video in which Spears gyrates on the bench in a sauna, without the apparent hindrance of clothing.

Britney Spears’ Racy “If U Seek Amy” Hits the Radio, Angers Parents

2009-01-24T02:07:00.000-08:00

The Parents Television Council is livid that Britney Spears‘ cunningly titled “If U Seek Amy” is getting radio play, despite the fact that the title and lyrics essentially say “F-U-C-K Me.” Parents in Australia first complained about the song’s content, and now that the track has become the third single off Circus, American parents are lining up to demand radio stations cease playing the song between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. as it “violates the broadcast indecency law.”

“There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it’s certainly not about a girl named Amy,” PTC president Tim Winter said. “It’s one thing for a song with these lyrics to be included on a CD so that fans who wish to hear it can do so, but it’s an entirely different matter when this song is played over the publicly owned airwaves, especially at a time when children are likely to be in the listening audience.”

Despite the PTC outcry, radio stations continue to play the track, as evidenced by its Number 92 debut on the Billboard Pop 100. A Jive-edited version of the song excises the “k” from “Seek,” thus “If You See Amy” (which is pretty much still “F-U-C Me.”) Some inventive DJs are throwing their own names over the “Me,” so for instance when the chorus plays, it’ll go “All the boys and all the girls are begging to if you seek George,” etc.

Meanwhile, we’re still trying to wrap our head around why a Parents Television Council would complain about what’s on the radio. They should be more concerned with getting Bromance off the air than this Britney single. All the chatter around “Amy” hasn’t stopped 107,000 people from buying the song digitally.

The Parents Television Council Warns Parents About "If U Seek Amy"

2009-01-23T04:08:00.000-08:00

According to new reports, "The Parents Television Council is warning parents about the Britney Spears song "If U Seek Amy" and urging radio stations not to broadcast it because the nonprofit organization believes it "would violate the broadcast indecency law" if aired between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m."

First of all, how does a television council have any say what the RADIO plays.

"There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy," PTC president Tim Winter said of the track, the third single from Britney's latest album, Circus.

"It's one thing for a song with these lyrics to be included on a CD so that fans who wish to hear it can do so, but it's an entirely different matter when this song is played over the publicly-owned airwaves, especially at a time when children are likely to be in the listening audience," Winter says.

Fortunately, this hasn't stopped radio from playing the track! According to MSNBC, "Six top 40 stations have the song in rotation this week, enough to place the track at No. 92 on the Billboard Pop 100 chart. Leading the pack is WFLZ-Tampa, Fla., which has played it 19 times."

Not to mention the handful of emails I've received from fans in major cities like L.A. and New York saying their radio stations have been playing the uncensored version of "If U Seek Amy."

"'We're confident the version of the song we air is not crossing any lines,' program director Tommy Chuck told Billboard.com, adding that WFLX plays a Jive-created edit of the song that changes 'Seek' to 'See' as well as a jokey version in which morning host MJ shouts his name every time the word 'Amy' appears.

Digitally, 'Amy' has sold 107,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan."

2009-01-22T12:30:00.000-08:00

US radio stations have been ignoring calls for a boycott of Britney Spears's new single 'If U Seek Amy'.

The single has entered the Billboard Pop 100 chart after six radio stations playlisted the track and has already recorded digital sales of 107,000. "We're confident the version of the song we air is not crossing any lines," WFLX's Tommy Chuck told Billboard.com.

The DJ added that record label Jive has provided them with an edited version that changes "seek" to "see". A joke version has also been produced that sees the jockey shout his name over the offending parts.

Britney:”I Can’t Wait To Move In!”

2009-01-22T05:16:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears is a step closer to moving into her new house in the Oaks of Calabasas, an exclusive gated community in Calabasas, Calif. It passed the toddler test. “I just took my babies to our new home, and they loved it!” the 27-year-old singer posted on her Web site, BritneySpears.com, on Jan. 13.

The sprawling 10,000-square-foot mansion — named Château Sueños, or House of Dreams — boasts seven bedrooms and nine baths, a Venetian-plastered wine cellar, a two-story octagonal library with private office, a bar, fireplace, private guest
quarters with elevator, a four-car garage with two auto lifts, and a master-bath suite featuring a sauna and a balcony that spans the rear of the estate. Most important, Britney will have privacy — the house is situated two miles from the Oaks’ main entrance.

“She’ll be able to live her life in peace and quite,” neighbor Nancy Aspaugh tells Life & Style.

Says Brit, “I can’t wait to move in!”

Britney Turns Diva At L.A. Hotel?

2009-01-21T10:35:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears has certainly been making her presence felt at a prestigious L.A. hotel, according to a report.

The pop princess - who is said to be altering her new single If You Seek Amy so not to cause offence - reportedly likes to leave a trail of disgruntled employees and hotel guests in her wake during visits to the Peninsula Hotel.

“She’s been really demanding,” one employee tells Gatecrasher. “She always wants specific tables, and when someone is sitting where she wants to be, she kicks them out of their seats. And she doesn’t tip well!”

Britney’s rep denied the claims, insisting, “These reports are completely false. Britney could not be more genial to the staff at the Peninsula.”
