That photo JohnG posted is so hot. I will await a good hardcore R movie that she will star in. Posing like that tells she is ready. It is just matter of time she follows in the steps of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.

That photo originally appeared on page 120 of the November 2003 issue of Esquire magazine.

Still, what's six years when it's just a matter of time?

People really think her career mirrors those of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany? How about Janet Jackson and Madonna?

Jackson maybe. Madonna, no. Madonna is an accomplished song writer.

Agree!

Now, is her three way with two chicks and a guy, or two guys and her? Because that's an important distinction.

She's way beyond what Gibson ot Tiffany accomplished.

She's probably more in the Janet Jackson stratosphere than the Madonna universe. Madge is the standard that all future pop stars will be compared too.

Gibson or Tiffany never got arrested, as far as I know. So she's beyond them as far as that goes.

I mean, she's done one thing that they never did, which was being carted away by police on a stretcher.

Britney Spears settles court case with photographer

Britney Spears has settled a court case with a photographer who claimed she ran over his foot.

Ricardo Mendoza accused the singer of assault, battery and negligently driving her car in Beverly Hills in 2007. The incident happened on the same day Spears lost custody of her two sons.

Court records in Los Angeles show a settlement notice was filed on Monday (October 19). Details of the settlement have not been disclosed, reports BBC News.

Mr Mendoza was working for Hollywood-based showbiz website TMZ at the time. The site auctioned his tyre-stained sock off to the singer's fans and donated the proceeds to charity.

That's just the piece of Britney memorabilia I'd want to own - a paparazzi's tire-stained sock!

Ok, am I that weird for expecting real live music at a concert...........?

From Billboard online,

"Britney Spears has done it again, hitting the headlines during her first Australian tour over a row about lip-synching and a lacklustre performance that her tour promoter said had left her "extremely upset."

Australian media reported that fans walked out of the first of Spears' 14 Australian performances that was staged in Perth on Friday (Nov. 6) after just a few songs, describing it as "boring," "stiff," mimed and lacking interaction with the audience.

But the promoter of Spears' Australian "Circus" tour, her manager and some fans rushed to her defense, saying this savaging has left the U.S. pop singer traumatized.

"Britney is aware of all this and she's extremely upset by it," Paul Dainty, Spears' tour promoter, told the Australian newspaper on Monday.

"She's a human being. I'm embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting."

Dainty said it was a total fabrication to suggest that fans had stormed out of the show as early as the third song after paying between $200 to $1,500 to see the 27-year-old singer who has rebuilt her career after a high-profile meltdown.

Before her world tour started in March to promote her sixth studio album, Spears had only done a handful of live concerts in recent years as her personal life ran out of control.

This included stints in psychiatric care, an ugly divorce, losing custody of her two sons, shaving her head and partying without panties.

Spears has been at the center of debate over lip-synching since she arrived in Australia last week, even though it's no secret that she mimes as she dances in her circus-themed show.

The Fair Trade Minister for the state of New South Wales, Virginia Judge, ignited the debate by saying Australians would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse" performance by Spears, who rose to fame as a member of Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club" TV series.

Judge suggested concert tickets should carry disclaimers about whether parts of concerts were pre-recorded and mimed.

Dainty said it was well known that part of Spears concert was lip-synched and blasted any inference that this was hidden.

"It's been all over the Internet for nine months," Dainty said. "This show is about an incredible spectacle, which it is."

Spears' manager Adam Leber took to Spears' Twitter account to defend the singer to her 3.7 million followers.

"Its unfortunate that one journalist in Perth didn't enjoy the show last night. Fortunately the other 18,272 fans in attendance did. - Adam" he wrote.

The management from the Burswood Dome in Perth, where Spears' show was staged, told local reporters that they had not received any complaints from the 17,000 people who were at the show. A similar number attended Spears' show the next night as well.

Thousands of fans flooded Spears' personal Web site and Twitter to congratulate her on her comeback, describing her Perth performances as "amazing," "awesome" and "brilliant.""

It’s a little Brit chilly

Published: 25 May 2010
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sh ... death.html

BRITNEY SPEARS wants to be FROZEN after her death - so she can be brought back to life later.

The eccentric star wants her body preserved in LIQUID NITROGEN so future generations can enjoy her dance routines in red plastic catsuits.

Britney is so enamoured by the idea - "cryogenic" freezing - that she's investing in a firm specialising in it.

The Alcor Life Extension Foundation is one of the oldest companies of its kind, founded in 1972. On its website, the Arizona-based firm gives its aim as: "Using ultra-cold temperature to preserve human life with the intent of restoring good health when technology becomes available to do so."

A pal of the star said: "Brit gets these obsessions and this is the latest.

"It started when someone told her Walt Disney had been preserved by cryogenics to be revived in the future. That was a myth but it got her researching the foundation and she became convinced it was worth a shot.

"Brit found the whole thing so interesting she spent most of her Mother's Day trip to Disneyland researching the subject on the internet while a nanny took the boys round the park.

"She looked into having her ashes turned into diamonds after she is gone but settled on the chance of getting to live in the future."

But before she invests loads of cash, she has to convince her dad Jamie, who currently holds the purse strings.

The source went on: "Jamie is quite happy to let Brit have her little obsessions, especially when it means she's holed up on the internet safely or watching the Discovery Channel.

"And if she wants to invest her money in cryogenics that's fine, we're only talking $350,000 tops. However, much more than that and he may change his mind."

The company has been the subject of controversy in the past.

Last year ex-employee Larry Johnson alleged, in his book Frozen, that a former baseball star's head stored on the premises had been walloped by staff practising their batting swing.

That would bring terrible new meaning to the song (Hit Me) Baby One More Time...

Britney Spears set to appear on 'Glee'
Singer set for an episode of the TV series featuring her music

Britney Spears is set to appear in an episode of Glee based around her music. The singer will feature in an episode dedicated to her songs, but will not mention her personal life, reports BBC News.

Last month, Glee creator Ryan Murphy revealed there would be a Spears episode, but it was unclear whether the singer would appear on the show.

However, speaking on US radio show KIIS-FM, Murphy declared: "Britney, I think 100 percent, is going to be on the episode. It's about her music and not her personal life. We're handling Britney with sort of kid gloves. I really admire what she's done with her life and how she's turned things around."

Murphy also explained the format of the episode, saying that Spears will not be appearing in the high school, but in a series of fantasy sequences in which members of the glee club visit the dentist and imagine themselves singing with the star.

What the heck is going on with Britney?
