“I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans. No offense to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I refuse to mime. It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realize you are not actually singing. Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time but I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans. I don’t want to treat my fans like they are stupid.”
- Ke$ha goes after Britney Spears for lip synching during live shows.
Ke$ha’s got herself a nice little age-old argument, but many would argue that they don’t go to see Britney sing, they go for the show and that it’s the people who show up for the singing that are stupid. Regardless of what you think, Ke$ha needs to rise above making public swipes at people who are more successful than her. It barely worked for Lily Allen, and she’s far more talented and adorable.
Britney Spears went to some meetings yesterday before she hit up the shops for some marathon spending and, with the exception of her pants hanging off of her ass as she got out of her car, homegirl is still looking OK. Her face doesn’t look as swollen as it usually does (that woman just needs to stay hydrated) and her hair, despite its messy style, looks like it might be healthy-ish for the first time in years. Her skin seems clear, too. If she starts showering regularly, Britney could very well reach 2002 levels of hotness again.
Britney Spears was due in court today for a meeting with the commissioner who wants to check up on her progress regarding her conservatorship. Because TMZ reported the story early and the paparazzi is rabid, Britney’s meeting was cancelled. While Britney seems to be doing much better and wants to (amicably) end the conservatorship that puts her father in charge of her, no papers have been filed or requests have been made.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Jamie Spears, by the way? Clearly his influence in Britney’s life has been major the last couple of years. While she’s never going to be the Britney that we used to know, her parenting and mental health have improved greatly and her last album/tour was an overall success. Naysayers will point to the fact that it’s not normal to need your father to take control of your life and finances in your mid-20s when you’re a twice-divorced parent, but nothing about Britney’s life has been normal. If Lindsay Lohan or any other troubled young celebrity had a parent spend the time and energy on them the way Britney’s father did, they might just have the same kind of comeback.
Previous psychological studies have pegged Brit-Brit batshit whenever she goes back to her traditional brown locks and here we are again: the threshold of barmy, the cusp of doom.
I fully expect a report regarding a check-in and check-out of rehab, a stringy pink wig, stubbled vagina, a thirteen-hour remarriage to Fatterline (I personally prefer “Feed-her-lines”) and more cheesy, spontaneous tattoos by the end of the week.
I have no idea why this is such a big deal since Britney Spears changes her hair colour constantly, but the webernets are all a-flutter over the fact that Brit’s gone back to dark hair. So… there you go. That’s the whole story. Oh man, I’m dizzy from all this excitement. I think I might need to lie down.
“You can not compare Britney with Lady GaGa. Why? You are putting Lady Gaga at the same level of Britney Spears? I really cannot believe it. Lady GaGa is good, but she’s a new artist, Britney Spears is a legend. They are two different artists, two forms of entertainment but very different, is like comparing Picasso to Dali.”
- Lily Allen says what we all should be thinking in a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
As if I needed another reason to sing Lily Allen’s praise and dog on Lady Gaga, but when you bring in the fact that we’re talking about the legendary Miss Britney Spears and Dali, too?! Pssh. Forget it. Not only is this quotable, but I’m having it tattooed on my lower back.
This year has been relatively slow in terms of major Britney gossip (R.I.P 2007-2008 Manic Britney. You gave us so many good stories, girl.) but the pop star is still not satisfied with the press she’s been getting. So, in an effort to fight back, Britney has launched a new section of her website called “BS Alert“, which basically is a forum to give her side of any news story that comes out about her. I’m not sure if I believe what she has to say much more than I believe gossip rags, but whatever. Let her have her little rumors blog.
The first entry up in the BS Alert is a year-end wrap up of some of Britney’s favorite bogus news stories about her, and I have to say: I am disappointed. They’re all boring. The number one story she selected is some crap from the UK Mirror, which always reads like the worst supermarket tabloid ever to me, and it’s about her marrying some Bollywood actor. That’s the number one item that was so fake it made Britney laugh? She’s been married twice and is rumored to be engaged again. How is that rumor laughable? It seems like the most believable thing on there. One item I was happy to see on the list? “Britney thinks her dad is drugging her” from a website called BreatheHeavy.com. See, that’s the stuff that we want to hear you elaborate on, Britney!
We all know that Britney is not as hot anymore as she is in the above photo, but that’s just the magic of celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz at work. The two teamed up to shoot Britney’s new Candies ads and Annie made homegirl look fierce again. It’s like 2002 is happening on my computer screen or something.
My beautiful and amazing friend Ranae just posted this video on my Facebook page and I laughed so hard it hurt. Then I watched it again and laughed some more. I still can’t stop smiling. From what I can tell, this is an old-school episode of Nickelodeon’s All That — with Jamie-Lynn Spears, of course — that guest-starred Britney Spears. And this bit is really, really funny! Jamie-Lynn’s a talented little comedian. Too bad she went and got her ass knocked up. Seriously, though, this is really fantastic, and I had to share it with all of you. The good ole days!!! I wish we could still be so innocent …
Britney’s Circus tour is totally over and she stepped off the plane looking haggard. And I love it. That’s how someone’s supposed to look after being on like, a 24 hour flight. The only thing I want to say that’s maybe too critical on her looks is that she really needs to figure out that head of hair. I mean, she’s Britney Spears and her hair used to be amazing. Now it never looks like trash. Never. She would benefit from a wig from Kim Zolciak’s line. Human hair, of course.
