there hasn't been any substantial britney news but i do have a few rumors that are circulating to report.
Rumor #1
according to ARTISTdirect News, brit is reportedly in negotiations to "relaunch her career at Las Vegas' Palms Hotel & Casino." supposedly, britney met with the Palms owner a couple weeks ago to discuss the matter. she supposedly could make around $10 million on the deal.
one thing to keep in mind is that ARTISTdirect got this information from the national enquirer which most likely means it is a crock of shit. they don't say whether she would just be doing a couple of shows in vegas to kick off a long tour or whether she would do a celine dion type of stint and do a long number of shows in vegas. if its the latter then i highly doubt she is only getting paid $10 million for it since celine dion made over $43 million in her first year at vegas. as much as i would LOVE for britney to go on tour, i really don't think she will be. she has too much going on in her personal life right now and i doubt that she would give up her already strict schedule of visitation with her two sons just to go on tour. even if she wanted to, i don't think her father would approve of going on tour so soon after her recovery.
Rumor #2
according to Yahoo News! UK, britney has been "tipped for a role on Broadway - playing Sandy in the stage version of Grease." the producers have been tossing the idea around after seeing britney guest star on how i met your mother.
ok, how amazing would it be to see britney play Sandy on broadway???? i'm just imagining her saying, "tell me about it, stud." i'm not getting too excited about it though because i don't think that is going to happen either. like with the vegas rumor, britney would have to reside in NYC if she was to perform on broadway...which means she would have to be 3000 miles away from her sons. considering britney has been on the upward battle of trying to win custody rights back, i don't think she would sacrifice her precious times with her sons just now and that would most definitley happen if she moved to NYC.
Rumor #3
this one has not been entirely confirmed yet but it's most likely true. according to popsugar, britney headed into the studio yesterday to shoot a cameo in the new pussycat dolls video. i can't wait to see what britney looks like in the video! even when she is out of shape, she is ten times hotter then the pussycat dolls. i'm assuming the video is for the new song when i grow up that the pussycat dolls premiered at the mtv movie awards last week. even though its not technically a britney related video, i'm going to post it anyways to get you excited for the video premiere. i would give this performance a B- though. the choreography is spot on but i really don't like the message of this song. unfortch a lot of little girls listen to the pussycat dolls and i don't think they should be encouraging their aspirations in such a shameless way. but i guess thats showbiz! thank god my little cousins are religious freaks so i don't have to worry about them turning into pussycat doll hoochies.
p.s. what's up with the main pussycat doll singing in her fake opera voice? it sounds horrendous!
omg! they look soooo much alike, its crazy!!!! i freakin love bette midler so much. maybe i will start stalking her daughter at yale to catch a glimpse of the divine miss m. (just kidding!)
strange fact about bette: she got her first big break performing in fiddler on the roof on broadway. her sister came into the city to see her perform and was killed by a taxi cab on the way to the performance. like a true performer, bette went on with the show anyway. i have a big place in my heart for this woman. such a tragedy but she persevered to become one of america's icons.
i hear she is going to replace celine dion at her gig in las vegas at caesar's palace...i'm def gonna have to start saving money for a trip to vegas!
like i said before, i got to see britney perform this on her dream within a dream tour and it was awesome. looking back on it, her dancing for "overprotected" is kind of cheesy but whatever - she still looks hot in that weird outfit! and of course, i loved the whole performance of "boys".
i also found her performance of "boys" on her onyx hotel tour.
i am still pissed that i never got the chance to see this tour before it got canceled. i don't even think you can buy it on DVD any where. in my opinion, the moment brit's downfall began is when she broke her knee on the set of her music video for "outrageous" during this tour. that's when she started spending all her time with k-fed and probably got addicted to painkillers due to her injury.
aight, i'll stop with the negativity since the weekly britney is supposed to focus on the positive side of britney...y'all know i can't get enough of her! LOVES IT!
i remember when brit performed this and i just about peed my pants. for those that don't know, i have been on one blind date in my whole life. my friend char set me up with this kid who was OBSESSED with britney. even more then me and sal. he had already paid hundreds of dollars to go to her concerts and even paid more money to meet her at backstage events. he needed someone to go with him to the Dream Within a Dream tour and char set it up so he could take me. now, i suspect this kid was a closeted homosexual because NO straight man loves britney THAT much. he also later admitted to me that he was a virgin and into church. he also looked like a werewolf. even though this kid was a freak and i knew that we would never continue dating, i STILL got to go see britney for FREE!. not only that, i was in the third row on the side of the stage. this is where i was sitting:
pretty sweet, right? i had a clear shot of britney. we were so close that i could see how much more skinnier she is in real life - for real! brit is petite!
this version is from the las vegas special. it cuts off at the end so go here if you want to see the entire performance at a florida venue.
