"Ms. Spears's label, Jive Records, continues to promote singles from "Blackout," without her active participation. (The recording industry has much experience with artists who have become incapacitated or unavailable or dead.)" So does this mean that we should expect a kinda self-indulgent video where a bunch of C-listers are coming together as one unified Britney when the clip for "Break The Ice" premieres in the coming weeks?

This seems like foreshadowing to me. I mean, Britney does turn 27 this year.
She certainly won't see much revenue from the digital purchases of the singles, but the continued success of 'Blackout' is laying some excellent groundwork upon which to negotiate her next deal, be it recording contract, product endorsement, or otherwise.
'Break the Ice' is a surefire hit, and even somebody as seemingly lost as Britney can certainly be persuaded to spend 3-4 hours at one her regular L.A. haunts to prance and pose for her next TRL topper. She's dumb, but she can't be *that* dumb, can she??
To paraphrase one of the linked clip's stars, if Kanye West, Johnny Depp and Justin Timberlake are C-listers, then who would be an A-lister? (That said, the video can indeed come across as very self-indulgent.)
@Charles A. Hohman: well ... i was thinking that jive would go a little bit more downmarket. i mean britney ain't johnny cash.
i freaking love 'break the ice,' though. and i like the demo version a lot too.
