Vintage Topless Britney Pictures Leak, World Continues To Spin On Its Axis

britbritIn “honor” of Britney Spears playing a clutch of shows at London’s O2 Arena, the British tabloid News Of The World has acquired pictures of the pop star without a shirt (but with some unfortunate tattoo-looking pasties), which were taken during the shoot for the “Gimme More” video all the way back in the summer of 2007. That this 17-photo gallery has so far escaped the notice of many usual-suspect Internet outposts for famous ladies’ body parts is either a sign that even those people working at the most primordial-ooze-accessible portions of the Web feel kinda bad about the state Brit Brit was in lo those many months ago, or that they are working feverishly to make the perfect “gimme less, amirite” pun since NOTW already took “Britney’s spheres,” or maybe that “topless Britney” just doesn’t have the same Google juice that it used to: MORE »


Diddy Hoping That The Power Of Prayer Will Help People Forgive Him For The Whole Ma$e Thing

I love this (of course), and great review, Mike. I was a little surprised that "Stillness" has Amber's voice obscured behind so many effects, since her vocals on the live recording from a sxsw performance are just mind blowing, much better than the album cut. The lead vocalist on "Two Doves" is actually Angel Deradoorian, who has a solo EP coming out about a month from now.
