Britney Spears is either a workaholic or a masochist. After a grueling seven-month tour around the world, rumor has it Brit’s releasing her seventh studio album as early as May 2010, with a bevy of familiar faces on board. MORE »

More Ways to Ignore Those Around You: Britney Spears’ iPhone App
If there are iPhone applications for pretending to booze it up (iBeer) or seeking revenge on enemies (iVoodoo), there may as well be one simply devoted to Britney Spears. Brit’s official site is touting the release her own iPhone and iPod Touch app, and it does more than you ever imagined you’d need it to. MORE »

Top 5 Pop Stars Who Should Never Act Again
Mariah Carey managed to validate her acting career by dressing down and taking a humble, supporting part in depress-o-rama indie flick Precious, which opened this past weekend. We can’t believe the reigning champion of Pop Stars Pretending to Be Actresses has done on-screen work people can actually enjoy non-ironically. Brava, Mariah. Our little hoochy-dressed girl’s all grown up.
Mariah’s earned our respect, but there are tons of other pop acts who, to paraphrase Mean Girls, keep trying to make this “acting” thing happen. It’s not going to happen!
After the jump, our Top 5 picks for pop stars who seriously need to leave acting to the professionals: MORE »

What The Devil Has Gotten Into Britney Spears?
This is certainly one way to promote Britney Spears’ newly-released Singles Collection. Try as Camp Britney Spears might, they just can’t seem to exorcise the demon hacker who keeps re-tweeting rather unholy messages from Brit’s account. MORE »

Britney Spears Celebrates 10 Years Of Breathy Cooing With Singles Collection
Which Britney Spears phase is your fave? Naughty schoolgirl? Snake charmer? Frappuccino-guzzling, umbrella-wielding, British-speaking babymama? (Personally, mine is the under-appreciated trucker-hat-adorning, K-Fed dating era.) Well, today you can celebrate all of Brit’s history with the release of (taking a deep breath) Britney: The Singles Collection (Deluxe Edition) [Remastered] now on sale on iTunes. MORE »

Britney Spears Is Dancing At The Top Of The World
Today is the second anniversary of the release date of Britney Spears’ Blackout, the pop tartlet’s weird “dark period” album that was chock-full of good dance jams and cameos by the likes of Robyn. I doubt the release of her clip for “3″ is explicitly in honor of that milestone, but it does seem like some sort of circle of life has been completed, with the song topping the charts and her once again unafraid to show off her midriff in a (relatively) tasteful manner. The video isn’t all that much, when all’s said and done; it mostly consists of Britney dancing suggestively, if somewhat disinterestedly, with phalanxes of men and women, intercut with her giving the camera the old “over-the-shoulder sultry” look that we’ve all come to know and love. But, you know, given that the song’s already topped the charts, a) did it really need to be anything else, and b) isn’t it nice that she resisted the CGI menace that has befallen so many other pop stars as of late? Clip after the jump. MORE »

Jay Sean: What Goes “Down” Might Come Up
This week’s installment in the sorta-halfhearted scuffle between songs that are biding time at the top of the Hot 100 until the Black Eyed Peas return to the No. 1 slot for the kajillionth week this year: Jay Sean’s “Down” reclaimed the top spot after last week’s No. 1, Britney Spears’ Real Dollish “3,” sagged in sales by 33% and fell to No. 5. (It’s gaining in airplay, though, so don’t count her out just yet.) Rounding out the top 5 is a trio of familiar tunes to any chart-watcher: Jason DeRulo’s “Whatcha Say” (No. 2), Miley Cyrus’ “Party In The U.S.A.” (No. 3), and the Jay-Z/Rihanna/Kanye collab “Run This Town” (No. 4).

“Sexy Video” Poll Proves Once Again That People On The Internet Are Confused/Confusing
In one of those online polls that makes you fear for the sexual development of Internet-enabled persons as a whole; Britney Spears’ clip for “Toxic” has been named the “Most Sexy Video” of all time by the users of the UK music-video site Muzu.tv; No. 1 on the corresponding “Least Sexy” list, meanwhile, is Madonna’s leotard-tastic “Hung Up”. In case you’re wondering just what the gender breakdown of the artists included on each list is: The “Most” list has a 6.5/3.5 female/male split (although I don’t think I’d be wrong to guess that Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love,” No. 10, was deemed “sexy” not because of the late blue-eyed soul singer but by his fake female backing band); the “Least” list’s split, meanwhile, is 4/6. The only artist to make both the “most” and “least” lists? Robbie Williams-spawning Britboyband Take That. (How UKrazy!) The two top tens after the jump. MORE »

Five Songs About The “Balloon Boy” Debacle That Will Surely Liven Up Your Next Party
“Balloon Boy” Falcon Heene’s afternoon of transfixing America’s underemployed and Internet-equipped people who thought he was in a UFO-esque balloon floating over Colorado—even though he was simply hiding in his house’s attic—is almost 24 hours out, and people are currently trying to figure out just whether or not yesterday was a happy accident or some sort of proto-fameball experiment. However, there was definitely some fameballing going on–by YouTube-channel-equipped singers who decided to act as a rapid-response unit of sorts and write songs about Falcon, his family, and the media in hopes of Making A Statement About The News and reaping some of those sweet search-engine-derived pageviews. Five of the tracks that bobbed online after the jump! MORE »
