Britney attended a Dodgers game in LA yesterday (I think thats baseball?)

Celebrities go to sporting events in Los Angeles. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about that. Not every celebrity is Britney Spears, however, and its not everyday that she crashes the dugout at Dodger Stadium.

Brit took in the view from the Dodgers' dugout on Wednesday, and Andre Ethier played clubhouse ambassador for the pop star, taking some time to pose for pictures. We're not sure who asked whom for a picture together, but judging from Ethier's face, it was probably him.

Things evidently went pretty well for Spears, and it looks like the Dodgers were happy to have her there. We're glad she comported herself better than her colleague in NYC

her boys look like small boy versions of her

The rumor of the day suggested a collabo between Britney, Will.I.Am, Nicole Scherzinger and Miley Cyrus, and now we know why!

Will Tweeted the foursome will hangout on Livestream on Tuesday.

album 8 news

Britney is still in the recording stages of her upcoming album, and is requesting "autobiographical songs" about her life, a music insider reveals to BreatheHeavy.com.

Brit wants a more personal album this time around, but knows she needs to be on top of the game.

"They're smart. There's a hip hop boom coming and she's staying ahead of the curve," they said. "Britney's always been good at staying ahead of music trends and curves. Dance pop will always be big because people will always go to clubs, but hip hop/pop is coming, and it's gonna boom, and that's the direction she's going in."

"If it is done right, then she hits the jackpot. The album will be called the most influential album of the year, or decade, or whatever, because other artists will follow. It's actually quite genius..."

She's enlisted the help of Will.I.Am, Hit-Boy, Wiz Khalifa and Danja to make sure she gets her seventh number one and create a brand new sound for her fans.

And get this, she initially started the demo requesting process with inspiration from Rihanna's "Diamonds," but knows if she wants her own unique hit she'll have to create the trends, not follow them.

sounds like the circus/femme fatale days are finally over

will i am has been confirmed as the executive producer/ fans aren't happy

After months of speculation, Will.I.Am confirms he's the executive producer of Britney's upcoming studio album, and works towards bringing fans an intimate compilation.

"I gotta be the vehicle between her and her fans."


Will tells Rolling Stone

"After I did a song on Femme Fatale – 'Big Fat Bass' – and then we did 'Scream & Shout,' she really liked the way we worked because of my approach," will.i.am said last night at a Levi's event in Hollywood celebrating his sustainable-product program Ekocycle. "So they asked me to be involved in, not producing and writing every song, but to be an executive producer on the songs."

Although he wouldn't confirm what producers are involved, he did say Brit "really liked Diplo," who produced Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)” and Usher’s “Climax.”

Will hopes the album will showcase her as a person rather than an artist, spending three months of time with Brit to really get inside her mind.

"I was like, 'OK, look, guys, me and Britney need to have lunch four times a month for three months before I even try to go in the studio with her, because we need to talk.

We need to talk about what she's excited about in life. I gotta talk about the things that hurt her. I gotta talk about the things that make her concerned – she's a mother. I gotta talk to her about all the things that her fans want to talk to her about. I gotta be the vehicle between her and her fans." He added, "We can't do another song about going on the dance floor. Really? Didn't we see a bunch of Britney doing that already? Don't we want to see something that comes from her heart?"

He didn't specify when the album will wrap, but says things are moving along fairly quickly, adding that he and Brit had an "amazing" session yesterday at Record Plant.

I'm not overjoyed with this but that last bit where he says 'something that comes from the heart' gives me hope.

[Saph]

oh and Dr Luke and Max Martin are no where to be seen which is always a good sign.

[Smithy]

ew imagine an album of big fat bass'

[reece(:]

Big Fat Bass is one of her worst ever songs.

[Saph]

the reaction from fans with him just being announced as EP is about 85% negative, so if that did happen then i'm pretty sure he'd get slaughtered I'll try and reserve judgement until I hear the lead single (or a leak)

Yesterday is was reported that a wild bush fire in Calabasas was spreading towards Britneys home in A Thousand Oaks, well now it appeares she and her family have been told to evacuate the house.

As many fled to avoid a wildfire that struck California, Britney Spears was driving towards the disaster on Friday.

The singer's Calabasas home was close to the flames and risks being destroyed by the terrifying fires.

Britney's family comes first and the star was presumably desperately trying to get to her two sons Jayden and Sean so that they could be reunited amid the danger.



arriving at her house

Justin Bieber, Barbara Streisand and Brad & Angelina have also been evacuated

“I’m so in love with you
That it’s hard to breathe
I start to turn blue
You’re the air I need
I feel so ooh la la, ooh la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la
I feel so ooh la la, ooh la la
Ooh la la, ooh la la”

Britney’s Shape magazine cover leaked ahead of schedule! The photo, taken by Don Flood, shows Britney in a skimpy white bikini and her rockin brunette hair. The shot was supposed to debut on Tuesday’s ET at 7:30 EST.

After paparazzi photos surfaced last week showing cellulite on Britney’s leg, some speculated the magazine Photoshopped Brit to be skinnier than she is. “We would never do such a thing,” said magazine spokeswoman Lizzie Grubman.

Fans know what’s real; we’ve seen Britney hit the gym every week for months.

In the issue, Britney credits yoga to help keep her in great shape, and even demonstrates five of her favorite poses. She also admits to a dysfunctional relationship with her famous bottom.

“I like it, then again I hate it,” she tells the mag. “I’m in my 30s now, so I have to work harder to keep it ‘up.’ ”

Brit also says she’s been following the Nutrisystem weight loss program. “Dieting is tough, though, because my specialties are spaghetti, brownies and chocolate chip cookies,” she boasts.

Several other snaps leaked as well. The issue also details Britney’s current playlist, which include George Michael, Whitney Houston and Bruno Mars.

She looks great

Vegas residency update:

Britney was informed construction at PH Live at Planet Hollywood nears an end, and she’s begun making plans for her residency launch in November of this year, reports the Las Vegas Sun.


“It’s expected that in about 20 days, full details of the production with Caesars Entertainment will be revealed, with the director being named at the same time. The initial concert dates and ticket sales information will be unveiled then, too.”

However, it’s unknown if November is when her rehearsals start, or if the full-blown show kicks off.

Preliminary rehearsals and casting begin late September or early October in L.A., with all technical aspects of the venue, including new lighting and sound will start this summer. Work on the technical aspects, including installing the lights and sound for will start this summer.

“[Britney] is getting more and more excited about her Las Vegas residency and planning her next new recording session.”

Kimi Santana @kimi_santana

Vegas has been confirmed by Britney in Shape Magazine

“The [Vegas] performances won’t be simple—they’ll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed.

I’m doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio—hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez.”

so excited for this vegas thing now

Britney's upcoming studio album is set to be her most personal yet, including a new demo she fell in love with and is recording, titled "Old City Of Mine" a music insider tells BreatheHeavy.com.

The track, written by Khaled Rahime, is a ballad about the struggle fame brings her.

Flashing lights have become my savior
My eyes meet the faces of a hundred strangers
And I don't know where I am or what I'm doing
But I know you're probably doing fine without me
In that old city of mine
