More Radar Set Pics

PS Isn't X17 the worst site to visit ever? Painfully slow and no right clicks?! Ugh, appreciate.

New Music For UK Tour

Sounds like good news!
George Jones Jr, one of Brit’s backup dancers, Twittered the following:
Someone’s gonna be in trouble for spilling the beans…

Brit’s Elle Magazine Mess

This sounds like a vicious rumour, but I’ll fill ya’ll in anyway – just so you know the facts when defending her at parties…

According to NUMEROUS REPORTS Britney recently had a photoshoot with Elle Magazine and things didn’t go down very well. A source tells Page 6:
“They dressed her in all these beautiful couture clothes - and, well, let's just say she forgot what time of the month it was. It wasn't pretty.”

Still, it’s better than the 2007 OK Magazine fiasco:
She apparently wiped greasy fried chicken all over an Alisha Levine couture dress, and then her pooch did the nasty on a $6,700 Zac Posen gown. All this inbetween repeated bathroom breaks with the door open and then running out after just four shots – still wearing $14,000 worth of borrowed clothing.

Baby steps, Brit.

PS This really must be bullshit, who forgets their period?!

UPDATE:
Although it’s not fully reliable, this kinda confirms what I thought to start with.
An anonymous comment on X17 said the following:
“yeah im pretty sure this is not true seeing that i was there. since she is doing well now people are just simply making things up. she was a pleasure to work with on set that day and i think the pictures will prove it.”

Radar Video Updates

No news on the video concept as yet, but here's what we do know thanks to Twitter...Dave Meyers has directed for B before - her 'Lucky' music video! Plus check out this pic of Britney looking a lil' tired but still pretty awesome on the setFollow on Twitter:

More News On Logo Awards

When LOGO’s NewNowNext Awards airs on June 13, Britney will receive the "Always Next, Forever Now” and to celebrate she filmed a fake fragrance commercial for Mo – a fragrance for gay men (check it out here).

According to In Touch Brit has pre-recorded a thank you message to be played at the awards as scheduling conflicts prohibit her from attending the show.

LOGO Executive Producer Christopher Willey explains Britney’s role at this years awards, the Mo fragrance idea and her role in the gay community:
“She's having fun with her gay audience, because she's an official gay icon at such a young and tender age. We [wanted] something that would be fun and playful that we can celebrate/mock, and we thought, 'It's her perfume career,' because everyone knows every holiday season they bring out those commercials of her running through a forest or a hotel.”

He explains that he went to B’s team and they “loved the idea”, although Britney was a bit of a skeptic:
“Britney herself wanted to make sure that the punch line - which is the word 'Mo - wasn't offensive in any way.”

He adds that the ad was filmed on the set of the If U Seek Amy video shoot with extra scenes added from MTV's ‘Britney: For the Record’ documentary.

“She has this natural rapport with the gay community. I think she just really likes her gay fans and she sees this as a way to talk directly to them, which she hasn't really done before.”

As previously suspected, Britney has indeed begun filming the music video for Radar, the 4th single off her album ‘Circus’.

Rumours: Photo Book, X-Mas Songs & Radar Video Shoot

Britney recently twittered about her new Candies shoot, and while we’re all looking forward to some more shots of Brit, this is even bigger news! According to LaineyGossip.com:
“Two weeks ago, Britney reshot her Candie’s ads with Matthew Rolston and word is Brit is considering a photo book in time for the holidays to go along with a couple of Christmas songs.”

Secondly, some lesser known actor from CSI NY, Ethan Erickson, is flying over to Brazil to do some promotional shots for Mr. Cat Shoes and Accessories. Blah blah. The exciting part is what Portuguese gossip site Terra had to say about Erickson (translation):
“Before coming to Brazil, Ethan Erickson will be in Los Angeles tomorrow (05/27) and will play Britney Spears love interest in her new music video.”

Could Britney be filming the video for Radar TODAY?
Is he the man with the Midas touch?!

Only time will tell…

Brit's Gay Fragrance

Britney will soon be graced with an award at the 2009 NewNowNext Awards. In celebration she filmed this short parody advert for the show where she promotes Mo, a new perfume specifically for gay men. Watch as she announces:
Just one spray, and the gays will come your way!

Brit Heads Back Home

Check out Britney as she boards a private jet in her home town of Kentwood, Louisiana. She's heading home after her cousins's wedding.

According to onlookers, B was trying so hard to block the paparazzi's view of her face with a shirt that she almost tripped up the stairs.

Britney's Married?!

How to start a rumour - Lesson 1:
Someone over at CelebrityFashionWatcher.com decided that since Brit's TV agent Jason Trawick was on vacation with her and the kids, they must be married. The Insider then scooped up the story with no factual or historical proof and BAM! Britney's married. Lol.

Britney Attends Cousin Laura Lynne’s Special Day

Congratulations are in order to one Miss Laura Lynne Covington! Not to steal focus from the bride but Brit was an honorary bridesmaid at her cousin’s Spring wedding this past Saturday – as was Laura at Brit & Kev’s big day back in 2004. The occasion was held at the First United Methodist Church in Amite, Louisiana and, of course lucky for us, a wedding guest spoke to People.com about the affair.

“When her brother walked her down the aisle, she looked stunningly calm and beautiful. She was very pretty, low-key. She was not the center of everything, just pretty and calm and collected. There was no fanfare. With all the star power Britney and her family command, it was still the bride's day.”


Lovely to hear! Jamie Lynne was also a bridesmaid, and according to the ‘guest’ the sisters kept each other company. JL carried Maddie and the three of them “sat at a table off to the side and visited with local people she knew.”

Congrats again, Laura.

UPDATE:

Check out Brit at the wedding, chilling at a table with assistant Brett Miller – courtesy of LaineyGossip.com. According to them, Brit’s bodyguard was also there as well as her “rumoured boyfriend” Jason Trawick. They also noted that she “looked socially awkward at the party, hardly talking with anyone.”

Brit’s Boys Get Chaotic

Hold those boys back!

According to new reports, Britney’s sons are ALREADY quite the trouble-makers. Sean Preston and Jayden James have been accused of ‘trashing’ a hotel room in Uncasville, Connecticut.

A Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino employee blabbed to gossip columnist Shelby Loosch, claiming the kiddies “pulled down the silk drapes and broke an expensive vase in the living room” while mama Brit was in town on her Circus tour. They also supposedly drew all over the $2,000-a-night walls. Boys will be boys.

She added, “One of the boys messed in his pants while in the pool - leaving other swimmers horrified.”

Wanna be crazy we can show ‘em…

Rumoured Radar Director

UK-based director Neil Gorringe has sparked rumours of a possible merge between him and Brit for her 'Radar' music video with the above Facebook status. It would be such a bad combination either, with Gorringer having directed the deep yet sexy trailers for UK drama series Skins. Perhaps they'll film it in London between B's O2 Arena shows.

Sweet Smell Of Success

The UK’s Herald is reporting that in the past 12 months Britney has dominated the celebrity fragrance market accounting for 34% of it. Other celebs on the list are Sarah Jessica Parker at 16% and Jade Goody at 14%. Bad news for ‘glamour model’ Katie Price (aka Jordan): her ‘Stunning’ only accounted for 0.37% of sales.

Congrats, Brit! What's next ;-D

Brit Looking Hot in Bahamas

Adam & Brit Twit

Twitter updates from Britney and Adam Leber:

Bodyguard Lawsuit for Brit

Well this is rich. A former bodyguard named Kerry Vine who worked for Britney for THREE DAYS when she lived at The Summit last year has just filed a lawsuit against her claiming that he sustained physical injuries while working for her.

Quote:
According to the docs, Kerry Vine says Spears "negligently operated her home and business thereby causing injuries to [him]" and says the security firm he worked for forced him to perform duties that put him in harm's way.

Just a little background on this guy:
On the third day while working for Brit, he volunteered to move a small table with a few other guys. He called in sick the next day, complaining of shoulder pain and has been on worker's comp ever since – and he moved the table a year ago!

Brit Spends Her Hard Earned $$$

According to new reports, Britney has spent a lot of dough in the last year. Brit’s conservators had to file legal papers a few days ago detailing her spending during 2008 – and she’s been handing the $$$ out left, right and centre. Here’s an easy breakdown of the bills paid between February and December ‘08…

• $285,594 in mortgage payments
• Rent (Malibu): $105,000
• Household repairs: $49,387
• $5,998 for decorations, including $3400 for Christmas lights
• Child support to K-Fed: $178,818
• Security: $447,634
• $188,556 on assistants and other employees
• $1.06 million in “miscellaneous business expenses.”
• Legal fees: Over $3 000 000! Including
$625,000 to K-Fed’s lawyer,
referred to as “Federline Fees”.

Total Expenses for those 11 months:
$10,116,678.23.

I thought Daddy Spears was supposed to be putting Britney on a budget as conservator to ensure that she didn’t spend all her hard-earned money – did B spend 3 MILLION DOLLARS ON LAWYERS before Jamie took the reins?!

May 19, 2009

On Friday last week Britney stepped out in LA looking tanned and slim, and with an awesome shade of blonde in her hair for summer. She left Starbucks with a water and some tasty tasty.

Eardley Demands Jury Trial

Before I start: Where can I find a picture of this guy?!
Jon Eardley – the attorney who tried to get Britney out of the conservatorship that has, in the long run, cost her her constitutional rights and priveleges – was recently ordered to stay away from her for 3 years.

TMZ has obtained courts documents filed by Eardley claiming that the trial was unfair and he is therefore demanding a new trial with jury. Personally I think he’s right – let a group of people decide what’s right and wrong instead of one person.

Brit's Still Hawt

Britney placed at #17 on Maxim’s 2009 Hot 100 list. The amount of fugs between Brit and #1 was horrendous, but anyway…

Quote:
“Call it a comeback! If there’s one thing America loves more than a pop tart falling from the heavens, it’s her ascendance back to sex symbol status from paparazzi punching bag. Hit us baby, one more time.”
Full List.
Sorry for the slow news over the last few days, but unlike all the other Britney sites I refuse to do posts on Ali Simms - that crazy bitch has an album coming out and can't talk about anything other than Britney. Plus if I see one more report referring to her and Brit's cousin I'ma lose it!

Anyway, some good news for the European fans - another tour date added in France! Buy tickets or check dates HERE.

Justin Jabs Brit – And Not In A Good Way

Sorry for the late post but it has been IMPOSSIBLE to find the video I wanted. They all say they cannot be viewed outside the USA – which pisses me off, quite frankly! Anyway…

This past Saturday Justin Timberlake appeared on the awesome Saturday Night Live, and of course he mentioned Britney – as he always seems to do when a little more buzz is needed in his career. The skit was called ‘The Immigrant Tale’ and had JT portraying his great grandfather who was foretelling the story of Justin’s life, which included Britney.

Quote:
“I’d like to think that at first, he’ll date a popular female singer (Britney Spears). Publicly, they’ll claim to be virgins. But privately, he hit it… Then, he’ll make love with women so beautiful and so often that it won’t be enough for him and he’ll, I don’t know, try some stuff with guys. I mean, he’ll be straight! Forget that part! Everything is true except that part!”

To watch the professional douche in action, click here.

Kevin Needs More Cash

Despite the $40 000 he receives EVERY MONTH courtesy of Britney, and the $2 million he made from the sale of their (Brit’s) Malibu home – new reports claim Kevin Federline can’t maintain his current lifestyle.

According to the National Enquirer he spends $2000 a month on food, $1500 a month on utilities, $2800 a month on a nanny for the couple’s two sons and $3000 a month on bodyguards. He also has a bar which costs $800 a month to keep fully stocked. On top of that add $7500 he spends a month to rent his 5 bedroom house in Tarzana.

Britney should also be happy to know that her money is going to some good causes too: K-Fed pays his ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson’s household bills every month, and he’s poured tens of thousands of dollars into cutting his second album.

To try and make up for his excessive lifestyle CHOICES, Kevin is set to move from Tarzana to the less expensive area of Chatsworth. I suddenly feel so sad that he has to downscale – he’s worked, and continues to work so hard for his money!

PS That hair and belly combo is super sexy Kev ;-)

Lutfi May End Up Paying Britney

As we all know by now Sam lutfi has been hit with a three year restraining order, and although he’s appealing in 2010, that hasn’t stopped Britney’s lawyers from taking another hit at him.

Last Friday, Brit’s lawyers asked a Los Angeles court to order Osama to cover her legal fee’s – which amount to $123 142. Additionally, they are also asking for $129,922 from Jon Eardley, the lawyer who tried to get Brit out of her conservatorship and $72,292 from her ex, Adnan Ghalib.

According to People, “A judge has yet to sign off on the request.”

Jason Drives Britney

X17 reports that on Saturday May 9th Britney’s TV agent Jason Trawick drove her around L.A. According to them, the two drove for over two hours without stopping once. Britney, if you’re hoping to squash any more romance rumours between the two of you – this ain’t the way to do it!

Britney Heads Home

Britney returned home to Los Angeles on Friday afternoon via, what else, a private jet. X17 managed to snap this shitty picture – but it’s all we got. She then DROVE HERSELF HOME! Woah, Jamie must have been napping there. Check out the video of Brit dancing to music while stuck in traffic below. She’ll be home for a month before flying off for the 2nd leg of her Circus tour, in Europe! Enjoy the time off, B!

Britney's Fourth Single Is...

Britney just announced via Facebook that the official fourth single off Circus is:
RADAR!
I really like the song and I'm sure it's gonna do well, but in all honesty it's a Blackout track. No-one knows why it's even on the Circus album in the first place. I feel she should have gone with something a little more deep and a little out of the ordinary for her - like Unusual You. What do you think of Brit and her management's choice?
She best do a SICK video to go along with it.

SP and JJ to Join Brit in Europe

Britney will be joined by her two sons, Sean and Jayden, for the European leg of her "Circus" tour in June, according to OKmagazine.com.

Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's pit bull custody lawyer, spoke with OK!, saying Kevin is "more than happy to help facilitate Britney being able to see the boys on the European leg of the tour."

Kaplan continues to say though Kevin has full custody of the two boys, he realizes that Britney "should not have to sacrifice visits with her boys while pursuing her career."

"Kevin has even been able to make sure that Britney can maintain the boys' regular schedule, even though she's on tour."

Congrats, Brit!

What Britney Wants, Britney Gets?

The United States leg of Britney’s ‘Circus’ tour is over, and in June she’ll be travelling across the ocean to the UK. Her first stop is London’s O2 Arena, where she’ll be playing for 8 consecutive shows on her way across the rest Europe.

According to CBS News, a hotel employee has apparently revealed her wish list at London’s Dorchester Hotel, so here it is:

• A room that has "never" been smoked in at all
• Humidifiers in all areas
• A selection of the latest magazines
• A fresh selection of flowers that she will then arrange herself
• DVDs of her favourite Marilyn Monroe movies
• Books. Ideally, topical chick lit novels
• Lighting must be 100 watt bulbs - no low lighting
• Running routes for nearby Hyde Park. Also, horse-riding opportunities
• A list of different routes to the venue from the hotel to keep the paparazzi at bay

The snitch carried on to say that Brit will be bringing her own pillows and that security must sleep outside her room. She’s known to check in under various names, including Sugar Kane – a reference to the character in the Monroe classic ‘Some Like It Hot’. She will most likely be doing a private tour of Kensington Palace, former home of one of her icons Princess Diana. According to a source, Brit carries with her a picture of Diana and Marilyn at all times as she thinks of them as strong, powerful women.

Lutfi Trial Will Go On

As I mentioned previously, Osama Lutfi as well as Jon Eardley have both been slapped with restraining orders for trying to undermine the conservatorship – which Lutfi is appealing. Neither can have any contact with Britney or any of her immediate family for the next 3 years – but that won’t stop Lutfi’s trial from going forward.

For those who don’t remember:
In February Lutfi filed a lawsuit against a number of the Spears clan – Britney’s mom Lynne for defamation of character in regard to her book Through the Storm, her dad Jamie for alleged assault in January 2008, and Britney herself for “management fees” he claims he is owed.

Well according to ContraCostaTimes, the trial has been postponed until next year. Quote:
“Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Zaven V. Sinanian scheduled the trial of Osama ‘Sam’ Lutfi's lawsuit for March 8, 2010. Attorneys for Jamie Spears, the singer's father, said his client is considering bringing a countersuit, while a lawyer for Lynne Spears, the entertainer's mother, said he may seek to dismiss the defamation claim against her on grounds it interferes with her free- speech rights. However, attorneys on all sides also told the judge they will see if the case can be resolved with the help of a private mediator.”

If he can prove that Lynne fabricated that chapter in her book, and that Jamie did in fact assault him – then by all means go on and get what you can out of them. What would be great though is if people stopped trying to take advantage of Britney and her money. She’s worked hard for it and should be able to have it for her boys and any future family she may have. It really is unacceptable that Lutfi continues to try and suck money out of the situation, but what’s worse is that her own father is taking $18 000 a month and more of her hard-earned cash to pretty much be a father. It’s a warped situation.

Let’s hope they settle out of court, if for no other reason than to keep the stress out of Britney's life – and save her some more legal bills!

Connecticut Concert Drama: Update

By now we all know about Kyle King, the crazy kid that jumped on stage with Brit Brit during her ‘Womanizer’ finale the other night. Since then he has e-mailed BreatheHeavy owner Jordan Miller with his photo, Perez Hilton with photo’s and his side of the story, and probably many more. Jordan published the photo only, Perez didn’t think he was even worth that much – and good for them. Thankfully for him, Access Hollywood decided to pick up the story and run with it. Here's what he had to say...

I’m sure many of you want to know exactly what Britney was saying when he confronted her as you can’t hear anything on the videos – well you’re gonna keep on wondering as King vaguely states: “I think it was kind of screaming, ‘Oh my god! Oh my god!’”

Regarding what happened after the incident as well as reports of jail, intoxication and being unruly, Kyle says:
“I was arrested. I was taken downstairs to a holding cell at the concert, but I didn’t actually go to a jail. As far as me being drunk, I wasn’t drunk at all. They didn’t even ask me if I was drunk because I obviously wasn’t and was completely cooperative.”

Despite all the drama, King makes sure to state that he wouldn’t change a thing – and why would he?! Quote: “It’s really not that big of a deal. I think it’s being blown out of proportion. Do I regret it? Not at all. I’d do it again.”

Connecticut Concert Drama

Some MAJOR dramz went down this past Saturday at Brit Brit’s Uncasville, Connecticut show. Firstly, during Get Naked, B had a small hiccup as she slipped on stage – but it was pretty unnoticeable as she was behind a prop and got up really quickly. Nothing in comparison to her fall during 2001's Dream Within A Dream tour!

As if that wasn’t enough for one night, during ‘Womanizer’ some crazy fan jumped on stage and attempted to DANCE WITH BRITNEY! As you can imagine Britney freaked out, screaming and shaking, before the guy was pulled off stage. Police say they arrested 20 year old Kyle King who had been drinking and was “highly uncooperative”. He was arrested for breach of peace and interfering with police and released on $250 bond. Click the picture of the idiot with Brit's assistant Brett before the incident to enlarge. He's quite a cutie actually. Check out the videos below, including last month's hair extension rip and Brit’s DWAD fall from 2001 – just for shits and giggles…

Retraining Order Granted to JAMIE

Well as you all may know, Britney’s team have been trying to get permanent restraining orders against Osama Lutfi, Britney’s ex-manager, and Jon Eardley, the attorney Britney left voice messages for in January asking for his help. Well the courts granted the Spears’ wishes on Tuesday 28 April.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aviva K. Bobb ruled that both men had to keep at least a 100 feet distance from Brit’s home, work, car or family until April 28, 2012. A similar order was placed on Adnan Ghalib, Brit’s ex boyfriend, last month. He is currently also being sued by a process server who he ran over with his car in an attempt to escape being served the papers. To view the legal papers courtesy of E! Online, click here.

As happy as I’m sure Daddy Spears is that all this has happened, I wonder if he saw what’s came next. Just one day after the ruling, Sam Lutfi has filed an appeal challenging the ruling.

Lutfi’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, explains to E! News:
“There was absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Britney Spears was suffering substantial emotional distress as required by the statute. In fact, the evidence was just the opposite—it was that she was reaching out for Sam's help, and all Sam did was get her a lawyer. There is no evidence of threats or stalking or anything whatsoever. We believe the appellate court will overturn the ruling. Restraining orders were created for stalkers and for people who make threats, and truly the only evidence that existed in the whole case was that Sam sent 10 text messages to the hairdresser—none of which were threatening or a vulgar word or mean or anything else.”

Freedman continued to explain how his client was simply looking out for Spears best interests, and how he does not believe Britney wants the order at all:
“Sam got her a lawyer, and facilitated his sister, and she requested getting her a cell phone. If Britney Spears wanted this restraining order herself then why didn't she testify, come to court, send a letter to the judge or do anything?”

This comes after a judge previously decided and ruled that Britney “lacks the capacity to testify” against Lutfi and Eardley.
