Without a doubt, I Wanna Go is totally my favorite track off Britney Spears‘ latest album Femme Fatale. The music video premieres this coming Wednesday (6/22) but here’s a thirty-second super sexy teaser to create some hype. Britney looks amazing in the video, I seriously cannot wait to see the entire thing!
I came across this video the other day posted by Chris Crocker (who became an overnight sensation on YouTube after posting his now infamous Leave Britney Alone video back in 2007), and I simply had to post it here on PopBytes because I couldn’t agree more with Chris when it comes to the current state of Britney Spears and her severely lackluster, phoned in and robotic performances. I love Britney as much as the next person but girlfriend should seriously stick to releasing albums (perfectly crafted inside the safe confines of a recording studio with lots of fancy ass equipment to make everything perfect) and leave performing live on stage behind, because she’s just not into it and is making herself look ridiculous (her upcoming Femme Fatale tour is going to be a lip synced train wreck). Lord only knows what’s really going on with BritBrit, but there’s just something not quite right with Ms. Spears as of late (she can’t testify in court but can walk around aimlessly on stage?). Yes, it’s sad but oh so true.
Good to see that Britney Spears respects the sacredness of the dibs. Anyway, Britney reportedly asked Kellan Lutz to be in her new music video as some sort of sexy boy toy robot thing, but apparently, Kellan’s camp turned her down because … well, I’m not really sure why. Maybe he’s allergic to that weird Cheetos dust that gets on your fingers and turns everything you touch orange. Pretty sure that stuff is radioactive.
Spears was trying to land Kellan Lutz to play her love interest in the video for her latest single, I Wanna Go, but the Twilight hunk politely declined the role, according to E! Online. The singer first met Lutz at ‘An Evening of Southern Style’ benefit dinner she hosted earlier this month. The video, which is being filmed in L.A. this week, is said to feature very little choreography and will feature Spears’ personality and sense of humor. SOURCE
Well, probably for the best that he declined. I love you Britney, but if you broke the sanctimony of the dibs … well, the natural world doesn’t take too kindly to that shit. Remember the dodos? They broke dibs once, and you know what happened to them? They evolved to the point where they couldn’t fly anymore! Oh, and then a bunch of a-hole settlers shot them to death.
Professionally, Britney Spears has a lot to feel good about: Her new album, Femme Fatale, is receiving the best reviews of her almost-20-year career. “I’ve worked so hard on this album, so it’s really refreshing,” she says.
On preparing for her upcoming tour:
“I love to dance, so it’s very exciting. The tour rehearsals have been going really well. I think it will be my best show yet.”On how being a mom affected how she approaches her career:
“I think things through a little bit more, and I worry a lot. I’m more straightforward, and I speak up more than I did before. When I was younger, I wouldn’t speak up as much, but now that I’m a mom, things have changed.”What don’t people know about you?
“I’m pretty normal, you know? Like I said, the type of day I love is just like everybody else’s. I’m like everybody else.” READ THE FULL INTERVIEW

Remember Sam Lutfi? He was Britney Spears‘ former manager, and he pretty much single-handedly nearly ran her ass straight into the fucking ground. Well, the guy isn’t too keen on the fact that Britney’s parents have been bashing him, so he’s suing Britney’s mother, Lynne Spears, for defamation and ordering Britney to take to the stand for the trial. And in a display of parenting that can really only come from the woman who sold two of her daughters into showbiz with pretty damaging effect, she’s claiming that Brit isn’t mentally competent enough to take to the stand, which is more or less a nice way of calling someone stupid and/or crazy!
Lutfi wants his one-time client to testify in the court case, but according to Billboard, her parents are claiming that she is “mentally incapable” of doing so. Lutfi, who is under the command of a restraining order to stay away from Spears, says that claim is bogus. He had an expert witness analyze a Spears interview with Ryan Seacrest and an MTV documentary, with the witness submitting to the court that, from what he can tell, Spears is more than capable of testifying to the court. SOURCE
Hate to say it, but either way this isn’t going to end well for Brit. Either her mother is right and her sucky parenting skills effectively turned her fully-grown daughter into a toddler, or Sam is right and she gets to testify about the darkest period of her life. I’m not one for the death penalty, but if the judge sentenced both of them to death by being kicked in the crotch by a horse, I wouldn’t bat an eye. “What’s that? Blunt force trauma to the genitals until they both bleed internally to death? Sure, why not. Also, can the horses wear soccer cleats?”
Here’s even more fun with Britney Spears‘ hit dance single Till the World Ends … first there was the music video, then the much better dancier one and now this hot remix (featuring tour mate Miss Nicki Minaj with a bonus helping of the song’s writer, Ke$ha) which is REALLY good. I pinky promise.
Britney says that the original is “sicker than the remix,” but you know what? I’m gonna have to challenge her on that now that I’ve heard this. This version has a deeper bass groove, making the song sound dirtier and all around more sexy.
Nicki lays some slick rhymes (I’m pretty sure she hands out another diss to Lil’ Kim) handing the song off to Ke$ha and Britney who trade off sharing the vocals seamlessly.
BritBrit vs. BritBrit, Nicki and Ke$ha. Who’s your money on? Take a listen and place your bet!
Earlier today Britney Spears released an alternative version of her Till The World Ends music video which features more dance and less apocalypse! You can catch the original version here, enjoy!
Wow, Britney Spears is really gunning for the gays with her new album Femme Fatale, isn’t she? After releasing two back-to-back gay club hits (No, really, I went out a couple nights ago and they played nothing but Hold It Against Me and Till The World Ends for the entire night. Overkill much?) she’s now teaming up with Rihanna to remix RiRi’s S&M. Ironically, no practicing BDSM Dom or Sub I know would ever be caught dead listening to it, which is either really funny or really sad depending on how you interpret it. It’s not a bad song or anything, it’s just that … Well, it doesn’t mesh well in a dungeon. Peaches? Yes. Yeah Yeah Yeahs? Usually, but depends on the song. But BritBrit and Rihanna? Hell naw. Anyway, listen to it below and judge for yourself.
So by all now you’ve probably heard the rumors about how Britney Spears has been using dance doubles in her videos, to which I say: who really cares? She’s been in the business for over a decade now, cut the poor (crazy) woman some slack here. I mean Jesus, at this point, I’m pretty sure the girl doesn’t have feet anymore, just callouses on the end of her legs. Anyway, now with Britney’s new music video for Till The World Ends out, people are accusing her of using another dance double, with a twist … the dance double … IS A MAN! *SHOCKER*
The 29-year-old singer’s new promo for single Till The World Ends has become the talk of the web over suspect scenes that some eagle-eyed fans believe show a male dance double performing as her. One Britney fan fumed: “It’s definitely not her, it’s obviously a bloke. I can only think that she’s done it because she can’t dance the way that she used to. I don’t think that she should use a body double like that. I just happened to pause the video and I saw it. I was actually quite stunned – it doesn’t look much like her.” SOURCE
I’m can’t tell who the fuck is dancing in the video, mostly because with all the jump cuts, dancing and dim-lighting going on, I can’t see jackshit. You could put a Golden Retriever in some shreded-up leggings and a blonde wig and I’d honestly believe that it was Britney. “Wow, is that Britney? Man, her legs look super skinny! Although she could really use a manny-peddy, her nails are looking a little long … why is she humping that dancers leg? Oh no, we’re not going through another K-Fed situation. Someone get the mist bottle! DOWN! DOWN GIRL!” But someone (who has too much time on their hands) was kind enough to slow things down for us, check out the video below and decide for yourself what’s really going on …
Because her second marriage (the first time was that quickie one in Las Vegas) worked out sooooooo well (Never try and steal a man who’s married, people. And especially don’t fuck said marry man in the room right next to mine at two in the fucking morning. I WILL END YOU.) Britney Spears is rumored to be having herself another shotgun wedding. The good news is that this is to boyfriend Jason Trawick, who may or may not be the lone sane person in Britney’s life right now. On the downside, her people will find some way to horribly scar Brit for life using this relationship.
“We have such a great time together!” Spears tells Us exclusively. “He makes me laugh, and we are so comfortable being ourselves.” Marriage plans? “Maybe,” she teases. “Never say never!” Indeed, a family source tells Us that the blissful pair will likely wed. Trawick, after all, the source says, “was one of the only people who stuck by her through everything,” including Spears’ dark 2007 and early 2008 — when she lost custody of her sons Sean, 5, and Jayden, 4, to ex Kevin Federline, and was briefly admitted to a psychiatric hospital. “[Jason] was someone she felt she could be her true self with. [Marriage] is what they talk about and the direction they’re going in,” the insider says. SOURCE
On one hand, this is probably the first time Britney’s ever dated someone who wasn’t either just using her (K-Fed, that weird photog guy she banged briefly) or who wasn’t a straight-out douchebag (Justin Timberlake), so who knows? Maybe this might end well for her. You know, as long as her friends and family don’t sell her out to the first person who waves a couple bucks in their face. But I mean, what are the chances of that ever happening, right? … Britney’s Mom is trying to sell her kidneys on the black market as we speak, isn’t she? Goddammit.
