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

[Saph]

I cbb to find a gif

[Smithy]

You're welcome

[Saph]

the last ooh la la lyrics turned out to be fake, but these are apparently the real (or very close to) lyrics:

You don’t have to look like a movie star
Ooh I think you’re good just the way you are
Tell me if you could would you up and run away with me?

You don’t have to roll like a millionaire
Baby I would go with you anywhere
We don’t need no gold, we’ll be shining anyway, we’ll see

You know can nobody get down like us
We don’t … ’till we get enough
C’mon, turn it up ’till the speakers pop
Break it down, show me what you’ve got

Ooh my my baby don’t be shy
I see that spark flashing in your eye
My heart beats fast ’cause I want it all
So baby come with me and be my ooh la la

Take my hand, we can go all night
And spin me round just the way I like
It feels so good, I don’t wanna stop
So baby come with me and be my ooh la la

You don’t have to wear no designer clothes
Just as long as we’re dancing on the floor
Fingers in my hair and I’m letting go tonight, so free

[Saph]

Mario Lopez Tweeted:
Nice Saturday morning with the family.. Sparring today, then going to Wango Tango.. Looking forward to interviewing my girl @BritneySpears

New Album 8 info:

Spoiler:

will.i.am spoke to KIIS FM at Wango Tango and basically said that collabs these days are impersonal, and so there may not be many (if any) on the album. (although im sure he'll manage to fit a collab with himself in there..). He also said again about how the album will be more personal than her last couple.

He also said there's a song they recorded together back when they did Scream and Shout which will likely be included on the album (Sexy Sexy?)

she looks beautiful in those pics, much better than last year

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will feature Britney in their upcoming “Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power” exhibit at the EMP Museum in Seattle this summer.

“Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power” is a ground-breaking and provocative exhibit that illustrates the important roles women have played in rock music, from its inception through today. It highlights the flashpoints, the firsts, the best, the celebrated and sometimes lesser-known women who moved rock and roll music and American culture forward. Women Who Rock will open to the public at EMP on Saturday, June 15, 2013.

The exhibit spotlights more than 70 female artists, including interviews, videos and listening stations.

Highlighted artists in the same category as Britney, “Causing a Commotion: Madonna and the Pop Explosion,” also include Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, and Janet Jackson.

The exhibit will be open at EMP Museum through September 22, 2013.

sounds good, wish I could go.. I'm guessing by 'rock musicians' they just mean anyone.. Nice to see Gwen being acknowledged for a change

Nice to see Britney Spears looking like a human being again, she's looked dead behind the eyes for so long. She looks great.

[Saph]

I agree, she hasn't looked like herself for a long time, it's nice to see her looking healthy again

[Z]

I think it's dumb when people say she doesn't look like her old self, because of course she doesn't, she's in her 30s now, but it's nice to see her looking healthy and full of life at long last. It's just so sad watching videos of when she started out and was so fresh faced, she had such beautiful eyes... and then you look at her in 2007 and you just feel bad for her, the way the media just ruined her life with the constant intrusions... It's incredible that she's managed to turn her public image around from being a bit of a joke to being a proper celebrity again... I doubt she'll ever be able to perform anywhere near at the level she used to, but she's still capable of scoring hits and she's starting to look great again, and that's all people can ask of her really.

Oops I did It Again turns 13 years old today!

Oops!... I Did It Again, her second studio album, WAS RELEASED IN May 2000. It debuted at number one in the US, selling 1.3 million copies, breaking the SoundScan record for the highest debut sales by any solo artist. The album sold over 25 million copies worldwide to date, making one of the best-selling albums of all time. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone said that "the great thing about Oops! – under the cheese surface, Britney's demand for satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock & roll tradition." The album's lead single, "Oops!... I Did It Again", peaked at the top of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and many other European nations. The album as well as the title track received Grammy nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, respectively.

The same year, Spears embarked on the Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour, which grossed $40.5 million; she also released her first book, Britney Spears' Heart-to-Heart, co-written with her mother. On September 7, 2000, Spears performed at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Halfway through the performance, she ripped off her black suit to reveal a sequined flesh-colored bodysuit, followed by heavy dance routine. It is noted by critics as the moment that Spears showed signs of becoming a more provocative performer. Amidst media speculation, Spears confirmed she was dating 'N Sync member Justin Timberlake.

from BH

Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins is a legend to Britney fans, producing some of the hottest tracks of her career, including the “Overprotected Darkchild Remix,” “He About To Lose Me,” “Don’t Keep Me Waiting,” says he’s working with Britney, but not sure he’ll make the final cut on Album 8.

Youtube video

He tells The Source:

“I was working with Britney actually at the end of the year. She had me come on X-Factor show and do something with her, so we’ll see what happens if we get another chance to work together.”

yay

although HATLM and DKMW are hardly some of her 'hottest' tracks..

[Saph]

Britney is all too familiar with the intense media scrutiny amidst a break from a routine life, a hectic circumstance Amanda Bynes now faces. After a conservatorship overseen by Jamie Spears and an attorney reeled Britney in, she’s successfully emerged back into the spot light for all the right reasons, and wants to help Amanda do the same.
Britney got in touch with Amanda a week before her infamous arrest last Thursday, reports TheFIX.

“Britney had a brief conversation with Amanda the week before her arrest and promised to personally help Amanda get her career back on track by helping her record music,” said a source.

“Britney also opened up to Amanda about her painful breakdown and about how she was so against her dad taking out a conservatorship – but she told Amanda that it wound up being a life, career and fortune saver.”

“Britney has known Amanda casually for a few years but lost touch with her in 2011 after Amanda started going off the rails,” continued the source.

“Brit was able to get Amanda’s cell phone from her parents, whom she contacted first to offer support and guidance. Brit and her dad have provided Amanda’s parents with details about how a conservatorship works.”

A source close to Britney also said she’s struggled to contact Amanda since her arrest in New York. However, the source added, “Britney promised to stick by Amanda through her recovery and not ditch her – as so many celeb friends did to Brit when she broke down.”

Amanda recently revealed in a Twitter rant she wants to be a singer/rapper, saying “I’m getting in shape and getting a nose job! I’m looking forward to a long and wonderful career as a singer/rapper!”

Aw she's so sweet
(if this is even true, it's from thefix so...)
