BRITNEY SPEARS



By now, every true Britney Spears fan knows that the singer has teamed up with MTV for a documentary -- tentatively titled "For The Record" and airing November 30 -- about her comeback and the recent hardships that led up to it. But that's not all!

It turns out the video for "Womanizer", the first single from her forthcoming album "Circus" was a little too hot for ABC, which premiered the clip on "20/20" on Friday night (October 10). Well, it's not too hot for us! We have the full, uncensored clip for your viewing pleasure.

The biggest difference between the two clips? Well, in two words: more nudity.

Scenes in the video feature Britney lounging, nude, in a sauna, while her boyfriend showers. The ABC version of the clip obscures her body with digitally added steam; the MTV version does not. Obviously there are no explicit shots in the video, but MTV's is certainly more provocative.

The video was shot last month in Los Angeles and was directed by Joseph Khan, who also worked with Britney on her "Stronger" and "Toxic" clips.

It features Britney playing several different roles: nightie-clad girlfriend, naughty secretary, tattooed waitress and a near-topless chauffeur. And, much like "Toxic", she's seeking revenge against a lover who has done her wrong.

Bedroom Britney cooks her man some breakfast. In the office scene, Britney, wearing horn-rimmed glasses and a pencil skirt, woos her office lover with a lap dance. Meanwhile, waitress Britney serves him a drink and then, in the kitchen, dances over him while he lays down on a counter. Chauffeur Britney necks with her love interest while driving the car with her heel.

The characters all come together in the end, when they trap the womanizing boyfriend and give him a good beating.

In an interview on New York's Z100 radio station late last month, Britney said of the song, ""Womanizer" is basically saying, "We know what you're up to". It's about guys cheating on girls. It's a girl anthem. That's why I like it. So, hopefully, the fans will see it that way too!"

Britney Spears @ MTV Video Music Awards @ Paramount Pictures Studios - Los Angeles 07.09.2008



Britney Spears Tops Winners of 2008 MTV Video Music Awards

The Pop star's "Piece Of Me" won three prizes, including best video of the year.

It was an MTV comeback of sorts for Britney Spears, who was the big winner at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Her video for "Piece Of Me" took the prizes for best video of the year, best female video and best Pop video. This was the first year that Spears became a VMA winner; she had been nominated for several VMAs in previous years.

MTV telecast and webcast the 25th annual event live September 7 from Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. It was first time that the VMAs were held in Los Angeles since the 1998 show.

Despite Spears being the top winner at the show, her much-hyped return to the VMAs was underwhelming: It consisted of a pre-taped skit with Spears and "Superbad" star Jonah Hill trying to kiss her, and then Spears going onstage during the live show to do a quick introductory welcome to kick off the show. Her acceptance speeches were also brief and unremarkable; among those she thanked were her fans and family.

The 2008 MTV VMA show was hosted by British comedic actor Russell Brand, who played a Rock star in the 2008 film "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". Brand made some provocative statements onstage, including demanding that people vote for Barack Obama; insulting President George W. Bush; and ridiculing (and later apologizing to) the Jonas Brothers for having promise rings that pledge virginity until marriage.

The show's performers included Rihanna, T.I., The Jonas Brothers, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Lil Wayne and T-Pain featuring Leona Lewis, Paramore, Kid Rock, Pink, LL Cool J, and Kanye West.

Presenters included Jamie Foxx, Taylor Swift, Demi Moore, Michael Phelps, stars from the movie "Twilight", Shia LaBeouf, Slash, Ciara, Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Pete Wentz, Slipknot, John Legend, Jordin Sparks, stars from "High School Musical", Lauren Conrad of "The Hills", Chace Crawford from "Gossip Girl", Josh Peck, Drake Bell, Paris Hilton and Kobe Bryant.

For the first time in MTV VMA history, the nominees were selected entirely by fan voting online. The nominations were previously chosen by a combination music-industry professionals and selected fans.

BRITNEY SPEARS

Novi singl Britney Spears s njenog aktualnog albuma "Blackout" je, pjesma "Break The Ice" za koju je video clip u pohode televizijskim postajama širom svijeta "krenuo" prije osam dana.

Singl je vrlo uspješan na gotovo svim svjetskim airplay ljestvicama, a najbolji pokazatelj je da je u posljednja tri tjedna prodaja albuma "Blackout" na globalnom nivou porasla za čak 40% (!), a na našem tržištu otprilike za desetak. Uz sve turbulencije u privatnom životu, Britney gotovo da nikada nije bila uspješnija u poslovnom. Uspjeh "Break The Ice" logično je rezultirao mnogim remixevima te pjesme, a od mnogobrojnih ističu se…

"Break The Ice" / 2-track single:
01 Break The Ice
02 Everybody

"Break The Ice" / iTunes Exclusive single:
01 Break The Ice
02 Everybody
03 Break The Ice (Soulseekers Club Remix)

"Break The Ice" / Maxi:
01 Break The Ice

05 Break The Ice Video

BRITNEY SPEARS

Odvjetnik Eric Ervin je radio s Britney Spears za vrijeme njenih teenagerskih dana. Dao je interview za US Weekly. On navodi neke vrlo privatne stvari iz njenog života.

On tvrdi da je gospođica Spears izgubila nevinost s 14. godina s tadašnjim dečkom Regom Jonesom, a ne s Justinom Timberlakeom dosta kasnije kao što je Britney tvrdila. Njena nevinost bila je samo figurativno tu radi boljeg ugleda mlade pjevačice.

Još jedna tajna koju je Britney čuvala od javnosti je i tragična priča njene bake, Emme Jean Sears. Baka Emma je u lipnju 1966 godine počinila samoubojstvo. Ona je tada imala 31. godinu i dugo je već bila patila od depresije. Pucala je sebi u prsa na grobu sina kojeg je izgubila kao bebu osam godina ranije. Otac Britney Spears, Jami Spears, je tada išao u osmi razred. Njegova dva brata su kasnije imali problema sa zakonom i postali su beskućnici.

Svi ovi detalji o problematičnom životu ljudi iz obitelji Britney Spears nas navode da povezujemo kako je to moglo utjecati na život koji danas vodi Britney.

Britney Spears - Blackout
MSI:WEST MIDLANDS RECORDS (2007)

She may be bald, and her parenting skills may be more backwoods than the Celebrity-Obsessed would prefer, but when it comes to her profession (singing Pop songs, for those who have forgotten) you've got to give Brit a break. Not because her previous records have been flawless - for all it's first-listen appeal, "Oops! I Did It Again" will drive even the most tolerant Pop fiend bats after two repeats, and it's hard for long-term fans to overlook the unfortunate "I Love Rock N'Roll" off 2001's Britney - but because, despite all the personal tumult, she's feeling the music like never before. "Blackout" is not a brilliant record for it's vocals, though they're good in the cooing, sex-kittenish way we've come to expect (check first single "Gimme More", a monstrously catchy Dance-Pop number, for the requisite moans and sighs). But it is brilliant. And though the Neptunes, Bloodshy & Avant, and Nate "Danja" Hills do their trippy, thumpy, raved-up thing successfully enough to make you think so, the brilliance isn't in the production only. The crackling "Radar" gets under your skin not just because of it's club-ready beat, a familiar element on this disc, but also from Britney's deliberate vocal haze; here she is interpreting how she ought to sound against the heat of this track, and pretty skillfully - she goes for pure vibe, and she gets it. And while the words to the seemingly autobiographical "Piece Of Me" are enough to pull you in themselves - here we get to hear Britney refer to herself as "Miss Bad Media Karma" - they get a little something extra from our girl's newly awakened sense of what makes a song flow; she has the good sense to squeal. Is she a credible role model? Certainly not. Is her music worth hitting, as the old song goes, one more time? Absolutely.

Japanese pressing of the 2007 release from the outrageous Pop diva features four bonus tracks: "Outta This World', "Everybody", "Get Back" and "Gimme More" (Paul Oakenfold Remix). Britney has earned every global award possible, made every major TV appearance, appeared on every magazine cover and truly defines Pop stardom. After an absence of four years, she is back doing what she does best... making great Pop music. Oh, and she's pretty controversial, too! Features 16 new Britney boombastic bombshells including the first single "Gimme More".
