BRITNEY SPEARS PLAYS PEACEMAKER WHEN 2 SINGERS IN HER OPENING ACT HAVE AN ONSTAGE PUSSYCAT-FIGHT

After a bit of a onstage dust up during the Pussycat Dolls' Friday night gig in Phoenix, no less than Britney Spears herself -- for whom the Dolls are opening on the current tour -- acted as a mediator.

''Remember, business comes first. ... You can hate each other off-stage, but make it work on stage,'' a very reliable Spears source quoted Britney as saying.
Things are increasingly tense between the Dolls.

Lead singer Nicole Scherzinger has been looking like she's poised to go solo, and other members of the group are unhappy about recent singles released as ''The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger.''
''It's like a modern version of the old Diana Ross and the Supremes thing,'' said a music industry insider Sunday.

At Friday's concert, things got testy when the Dolls' Melody Thornton thanked the crowd in her Phoenix hometown for supporting her, ''even though I'm not featured!'' Spears thought that led to a ''downer effect'' on the rest of the Dolls set, and a negative lead-in to her own set, the Britney buddy said. We'll get a chance on Tuesday to see this up close -- and whether Spears' lecture had any effect -- when the tour arrives for two gigs at the Allstate Arena.

BRITNEY SPEARS TO GIVE FIRST LIVE SHOW IN RUSSIA

Fans get ready! American pop star Britney Spears is coming to St.Petersburg for her first concert in Russia. PMI, the organizers of the concert, say the venue is still being discussed. However, according to the official booking operator, the concert will take place at the ice hockey arena.

The date is July 19, and tickets are already available for preliminary booking.
The performance in St.Petersburg will be part of Britney’s global tour “The Circus Starring: Britney Spears” launched in support of her latest sixth studio album, “Circus.” Britney Spears has decided to recreate the atmosphere of a circus at the concert: she plans to bring the action to the ring in the middle of the hall, and the audience’s places will surround it.

A special VIP zone will be constructed right next to the scene, offering a limited number of Love seats (sofas for two), the press-service of PMI reports. The show will be accompanied by a set of special effects, moving scenery, and screens. Circus actors will also be a part of the show. The tour was officially announced on December 2, 2008 to coincide with the release of Britney’s sixth studio album. Rehearsals for the tour began in January 2009, in preparation for a March kick off. “The Circus” has been named among the five best CDs in the charts of seven countries worldwide; 3,500,000 copies have already been sold.

Britney Spears – the American pop singer and actress, has established a number of records in the history of modern music: over 80,000,000 CDs were sold in less than 10 years; seven singles have become number one worldwide hits; four albums successively appeared in first place of the Billboard Top 200. Spears occupies eighth place among the USA’s performers for the most recordings sold in history, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.

Hey guys, its out in the open already. Britney Spears is working very hard to get her music career back on track and now she's about to announce her 2009 tour dates. Britney Spears has hired Wade Robson again to help choreograph her return to the world spotlight and he has confirmed that he will write the moves for Spears’ upcoming world tour. The tour will be her first major tour since 2004. I know its been a long time with a good concert from her part. Lets see if this will finally be the one.

Spears, who's 26 now, will be performing songs from her upcoming album ‘Circus,’ which is set to be released on her birthday – December 2. We all have already heard her first single released not so long ago, Womanizer. Not to forget the extremely sexy video for the song. This was just a taste indicating that Britney's finally back people.

Ohh!!!! and before I forget. There will be no champagne corks popping when Spears embarks on her concert tour around the world because she has placed a booze ban on her entourage ahead of her world tour.

We really hope for the best for our Britney.

"WOMANIZER" IS #1 ON THE BILLBOARD HOT 100

She finally dit it!!! Britney Spears makes a 96-1 jump with “Womanizer,” returning to the top of the list for the first time since her debut single “Baby One More Time” hit # 1 in January 1999. This is the third time in the past two months that the record for the biggest jump to # 1 has been shattered. On the Hot 100 dated Sept. 6, T.I. soared 71-1 with “Whatever You Like” and last week he broke his own record when he sprinted 80-1 with “Live Your Life.” Spears’ massive leap to # 1 is spurred by first-week digital download sales of 286,000, the biggest opening-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003, besting Mariah Carey’s take for “Touch My Body” by just over 200 units. In between her nearly 10-year gap between # 1s, Spears has placed four other top 10s on the Hot 100, the last being “Gimme More,” the first single from her last album, “Blackout.” That song jumped 68-3 last October with first-week download sales of 179,000. “Womanizer” previews Spears’ sixth studio set “Circus,” due Dec. 2.

BIO OF BRITNEY UPTO 2008

I remember when I first heard Baby One More Time in early 1999 by Britney Spears. At that moment I knew that Britney would definitely be a pop hit. After that, I for instance did not know that she was a member of the Mickey Mouse Club when she was only 8 years old (Come on now people, admit that when you were young, you looked at the show also). Later on the video came, and what a scandal it was because she was dressed in a Catholic Schoolgirl Uniform, baring her midriff, which was a soon to become her trademark. Nonetheless, the single was a total hit worldwide.

She got to tour with the popular boy band NSync. Her album released around three months later that same year and took to the top of the album charts. Appealing to young girls, teenage boys and older men, Britney was on her way, yet nobody could have predicted at that time the impact she would have on Pop Culture. After that was hit after hit. My opinion is that this was the “Good Girl” type of an album.

Now comes the album that started to raise eyebrows, her second album Oops! I Did It Again
because people just weren’t happy with the message she was sending their impressionable young children. There was the performance she did in the MTV Music Awards in 2000 when her costume made her appear scantily-clad, sexually charged and provocative.

Yet she was labeled the Pop Princess around the world. Britney then continued to grow up fast in a relationship with NSync heartthrob Justin Timberlake. They looked so cute together, seemed like the perfect couple.


Then came the shocker!!!!!!! The sexually charged single I’m a Slave For You. This was a completely different turn in musical direction from her previous singles. Her performance of the single in the MTV VMA’s 2004 caused outrage among animal rights campaigners, as she performed wearing little herself and with a live giant snake (by the way, loved it cuz I have three of my own and they're my only "children").

This is when people would say "she started going downhill". Britney was increasingly letting her pop princess crown slip, admitting she had lost her sacred virginity to Timberlake, outside of marriage. Britney could also be seen smoking and drinking to excess on wild nights out and famously breaking down in tears while being interviewed by Diane Sawyer about her parents (who were recently divorced) and her bitter split from Timberlake. I know….I know, this was very sad but nevertheless it was the truth and we had to deal with it. Thennnn!!!!!!! Justin Timberlake came out with the single Cry Me a River. OMG!!!!! What a coincidence that the girl in the video looked and dressed just like Britney and song had to do with cheating. :o| Haven’t said anything. You should see for yourself.

Oh well….on to the next chapter of her life. Then came her performance of Like a Virgin in the MTV VMA’s in 2003 with Madonna and Christina Aguilera. There was where the famous kisssss took place between all three of them, but I don’t understand why they got only on Britney’s case if Madonna and Christina did the same thing.

Anyways…….then in 2004 she got MARRIED!!!!!!! Yes married to her childhood friend Jason Alexander in Las Vegas but later was annulled within 55 hours and was described as a joke gone too far. (Yeah Right!!!!! but it was funny anyways)


Nevertheless, she continued with her life. Later on she got together with Kevin Federline, got married in September 2004 had two kids with him. Britney now was a changed woman, no longer concerned with what the public thought of her or her appearance.

Know this is the part in Britney’s life where it reaaaally went down hill. In November of 2006 she filed for divorce. After her break-up, her personal life seemed to spin out of control. Within days, she was photographed without underwear and also arriving at various parties without her underwear. In 2007 she shaved her head with electric clippers at a tattoo shop. She made several attempts at rehabilitation. Then there was the very anticipated performance at the opening of the MTV VMA’s on September 17. Don't know about you but it left me speachless (and not in a good way)

Performance for Gimme More at MTV VMA's 2007


Spears, who is trailed almost everywhere by paparazzi, has also became notorious for distracted driving and has been photographed driving with her son on her lap. The damage just continued to pile up for Britney. There was the drug and alcohol abuse that later caused her to loose custody of her children. She then had to take undergo random drug and alcohol test and meet weekly with a parenting coach who would later report back to the court about her parenting. Both her and Federline had to complete a Parenting Without Conflict class. Conflict between her and Federline grew thicker and thicker. Then we later find out that Britney might me suffering by long-standing psychological illness, possibly bipolar disorder. Meantime, Federline got sole physical and legal custody of the kids and Britney got her visitation rights suspended. Then one thing led to another, her father was named conservator of her person and he and attorney were conservators of her $100 million estate. Lutfi, who has been at Spears’ side throughout much of her well-documented public breakdown, was also ordered to stay away from the pop singer and stop harassing her.

After some progress, on May 6, 2008 she was granted increased visits with her two sons and this was to the progress that has she had made. Later that July, Spears and Federline reached a custody settlement in which Federline retained sole custody while Spears kept her visitation rights. Finally Spears returned to the MTV Video Music Awards on September 7. While she did not perform, she did pick up three trophies, including video of the year, best female and best pop video for Piece of Me. She thanked God, her children and her record label for each of her award wins.
