Britney Spears already has a popular perfume line, but sales might skyrocket if her newest scent makes it into stores: a fragrance called ‘Mo that carries the tantalizing tagline “One spray and the gays will run your way!”
Willey explained that the tone of the awards show is “very playful, irreverent, doesn’t take it too seriously.” When they decided to give their Always Next, Forever Now award to Spears, Willey approached the singer’s label and management with the idea for the faux perfume ad.

“She’s having fun with her gay audience, because she’s an official gay icon at such a young and tender age,” said Christopher Willey, a Logo executive producer. (Logo and MTV are both owned by Viacom.) Spears’ people loved the idea, although Willey did have to explain the meaning of ‘Mo, which is a term of endearment within the gay community. “Britney herself wanted to make sure that the punch line — which is the word ‘Mo — wasn’t offensive in any way,” Willey said.

Logo shot Britney’s “One spray and the gays will run your way!” line on the Los Angeles set of her video for “If U Seek Amy” and filled in the rest with footage from music videos and a documentary. The package will open the NewNowNext show as an imaginarymessage from the program’s sponsor. The second annual awards show airs June 13 at 9 p.m. ET and will feature appearances by Lady Gaga, Vanessa Williams, castmembers from “The Real Housewives of New York City” and a musical performance by Eve. And, of course, Spears will be on hand to accept her award.

“She has this natural rapport with the gay community,” Willey said. “I think she just really likes her gay fans and she sees this as a way to talk directly to them, which she hasn’t really done before.”

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has ordered Britney Spears’ former manager Sam Lutfi to stay away from the singer for three years.
The ruling comes after hearing weeks of testimony from Lutfi and Eardley, as they defended their actions and insisted they did not pose threats to the singer. Lawyers for the two men will appeal the restraining orders, claiming they did not prove Spears suffered substantial emotional distress as a result of their actions.
Although Jamie Spears alleged that he — and attorney Jon Eardley — had tried to undermine a court-ordered conservatorship that granted him control over her personal and financial affairs, Lutfi’s attorney contended that he had never threatened the safety of Spears, 27, and the petition didn’t meet the standards for issuing a restraining order.

Testimony from Jamie Spears, along with Britney’s security staff and a hairdresser, contributed to the judge’s decision. The hairdresser testified that Britney Spears told her she was scared of Lutfi and didn’t want to have anything to do with him. Britney did not appear in court during the hearings, and she remains on her Circus tour despite requests by Lutfi’s and Eardley’s attorneys to testify in the case.
Spears’ court-appointed lawyer, Samuel Ingham, supported issuing the orders during a hearing last week, saying they were in the singer’s “best interests.” Joel Boxer, a lawyer for Spears’ father, Jamie, said the restraining order request was “unusual,” but was necessary to protect the singer from “people who I think are fairly characterized as predators.”

After all the rumors and issues Britney Spears has been facing, she was involuntarily committed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center psych ward. There she will be rehab for her bizarre behavior. While she was in the rehab, her two sons, Sean and Jayden are under the custody of his ex Kevin Federline.

Britney desperately want the kids but her parents won’t let her speak on the phone to her sons. She really misses her sons. Britney cries about it. Britney hasn’t put the children’s belongings away. Her home has pictures of her kids everywhere. She loves them very much. Despite the separation from her children and her ongoing legal woes, Spears’ life is changing for the better. There’s been a real change in how she is because she has been smothered in love.

Now Britney Spears has been in a good living, she now standing with heads up high, after all that had happen to her, she back with her new “Circus”. Britney is going to have a tour with her two sons. The boys are still under the custody of Kevin Federline but Spears has nearly 50-50 access to them in visitation rights.

Britney’s Circus tour kick off in New Orleans and ends in Chicago. Just two days after kicking off her Circus tour in New Orleans, Britney Spears spends a sunny day with her sons Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2, at the Magic Kingdom Theme Park in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., on Thursday. The happy boys and Mom enjoyed the fun at Mickey’s Toontown Fair.

Britney Spears is perhaps one of the most compelling figures in the pop music world. Once America’s Pop Princess. She also became renowned as a sex symbol, gathering attention around the world for her looks. Spears is ranked as the eighth best-selling female recording artist in the United States with 32 million sold albums certified by the Recording Industry Association of America.

As of November 2007, Spears has sold over 83 million records worldwide, making her one of the world’s best-selling music artists. Spears first appeared on national television in 1992 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel’s television series The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. In 1997, Spears signed a recording contract with Jive, releasing her debut album …Baby One More Time in 1999. The album established her as a pop icon and “bonafide pop phenomenon”, credited for influencing the revival of teen pop in the late 1990s.
After more albums and an attempt at a film, Spears started to become more known for her personal life than for her music.Spears began to gain attention for her bizarre public behavior, including incidents in which she shaved her head and drove with her baby on her lap. From a Pop Star Princess to a woman of rumor and scandals. She’s now facing a big meltdown of her career. Spears is now in a situation where the world is against her. After this everything started to go the wrong way for Britney. She was out partying a lot, and she was pictured in very bad conditions several times. Rumors came up that she was on drugs and it was obvious that she was drinking a lot of alcohol. In the beginning of 2007 Britney was shaving all her hair off and she was also putting herself on rehab for the alcohol problems.
She didn’t manage to stay away from alcohol and drugs though and in October 2007 she lost custody of her sons. In November 2007 Britney released her fifth album, “Blackout”. It ran up to number 2 on Billboard immediately and one of the singles “ Gimme More” was a huge success from the start. This year the star has starred on the TV Show “How I met Your Mother” and she got great reviews. After taking a brief time-out from the spotlight, it appears as though Spears’ career is perhaps in reboot mode.

After appearing on a few television shows and releasing 2007’s Blackout, Spears is hoping to regain some of her past glory. Her next three albums debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making her the first female artist to have her first four albums debut at number one. In late 2008, her sixth studio album, Circus, also debuted at number one.

She may be a multi-millionaire but it seems that Britney Spears is as guilty as the rest of us for spending as much as she earns. The pop star made more than £7.6million last year, but she spent an eye-watering £6.7million over the 11 months to December 31, 2008. Spears is well known for her extravagant spending and diva demands but figures lodged with a Los Angeles Court show that she is splashing the cash at a rate of £609,000 a month. The singer is enjoying renewed success after a disastrous couple of years where her increasingly erratic behaviour lead to her being taken into psychiatric care under a mental health order. But bizarrely, she is now spending more on security and staff, than she is on the care of her two young sons. Spears, who is on a world tour, splashed out nearly £300,000 on her security team and £124,500 on general staff. In contrast the star, who is worth more than £60million in total spent just £118,000 on her young boys.

Spears, 27, spent the bulk of her income last year on legal fees. She spent £2million on fees for 17 different lawyers, prompting concerns that her fortune is being frittered away. More than half of this is being claimed by those taking care of her estate, while a significant chunk was given to ex-husband Kevin Federline to cover his family court costs. The pair had battled for custody of their children as part of a bitter divorce, with Mr. Federline eventually being awarded them in his full care. The couple split in 2007, whereupon Miss Spears descended into a spiral of drug abuse, wild partying and depression - prompting her to lose custody of their children. She cut off her family and was sectioned, while her father Jamie Spears took control of her and her estate in a bid help her stay under control.

Her annual general living expenses are in excess of £90,000, which likely include hefty bills for her diet and exercise regimes. There is no breakdown in the legal documents but sources close to the star have revealed she spends more than £5,000 a month on staying in shape. Miss Spears will arrive in London for the UK leg of her tour next month and her diva-like demands further highlight where her cash goes - last year she spent £700,000 on similar business expenses.

Whoever imagined Jordan Miller, who started a Britney Spears fan site while a high school sophomore in 2004, would one day receive half a million visits a day? And whoever imagined Miller, now a typical college student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, would be threatened with legal action by her father, Jamie Spears? Miller’s world was turned upside-down last fall after he received an angry phone call from the pop star’s father-guardian, accusing him of copyright violations.

In February 2008, after Britney Spears was forced into a treatment program for bipolar disorder, Jamie Spears was awarded conservatorship, giving him the authority to make legal, financial and medical decisions on behalf of his daughter.

Miller posted several blogs begging for Britney to be “freed.” He also posted about a magazine story that suggested Britney’s younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, was expecting her second child. Then his cell phone rang. Miller said Jamie Spears told him, “I am going to destroy your ass.”

“I was really freaking out for a good three or four weeks,” Miller said. “Lately, I’ve been doing my own thing. I just kind of want to keep it going.”

Attorney Clarke Walton, who represents Miller pro bono, has been battling with the Spears legal team, which has threatened to sue for copyright infringements. “The unauthorized use of recordings, images and trademarks constitutes actionable infringement under copyright and trademark law, and also violates Ms. Spears’s rights of publicity and privacy,” said a March 18 letter from Jamie’s lawyer.

Miller and Walton are puzzled that Team Spears would leave other fan sites alone and sic legal hounds on a kid who is simply a huge admirer of the singer. He believes that Jamie Spears is “trying to shut me down” because of his negative comments about the father’s control over his daughter. Miller questioned, for example, why he is being targeted instead of the tabloid that first published the story about daughter Jamie Lynn Spears.

He also defended his comments on the father’s role as conservator. “A conservatorship is for an 85-year-old who can’t take care of themselves, not a 27-year-old mom who is working and making money,” Miller said. “If she really does need a conservator, she should get an independent one.”

Miller suggested, as many gossip magazines have reported, that Britney Spears feels trapped by her father. The two have never had a close relationship. Miller and the celebrity gossip magazines also question whether Jamie Spears is serving as conservator strictly or at least partially to make money.

So, why does Miller care so much that he’s willing to go head-to-head with a man who clearly has tons more money than a college student who works part-time? “I’ve been asking that myself,” Miller said. “I just think she’s a really cool artist; I feel inspired by her. It’s a healthy hobby. It takes a lot of work and dedication, but it’s self-fulfilling.”
Spears’ attorneys allege Miller is profiting from Britney Spears pictures, but Miller and Walton said that is not true. Miller pays $300 a month to keep the site going and receives an average of $100 each month from advertisers.

Walton is not concerned about the legal threats coming from Spears’ camp. He said the letters outlining the infringements have no substance. Photographs used originate from companies that approved their use or from camera-toting fans who submitted them. Miller is not using images or lyrics for a commercial purposes. “If they want to fight, I’d love this fight,” Walton said. “I feel confident we would win on the merits of this case.”

Britney Spears was recently spotted taking stick shift driving lessons so she can wheel around Hollywood in her brand new Porsche Speedster replica. Can’t help but wonder if she was turned on to the car by all the Christian Audigier billboards in L.A. featuring a model posed with a Speedster. Spears is a long time fan of Audigier’s clothing lines and attended his birthday party, so she must have noticed the ubiquitous ads. Like the clothes? Buy the advertising props!

Originally produced from 1954-58, Porsche’s Speedster was a stripped down version of the popular 356 model. Roll-up side windows were replaced by snap-in side curtains, a racing style windshield lowered wind resistance, and special sport seats cradled drivers on high speed curves. Speedsters have become one of the most sought after of all collectible Porsches and currently command six-figure prices at high-end collector car auctions.

Only 3000 or so original Speedsters were built, but, due to the simplicity of the cars, aftermarket companies realized they could take an original VW beetle pan and motor, mount a fiberglass replica Speedster body on it, and create a fun, affordable reproduction. The original 356 Porsche was based on VW beetle mechanicals, after all, so this works surprisingly well. Several companies currently reproduce Speedsters: Park Place Ltd, Vintage Speedsters, Intermeccanica, and JPS are among the most prominent. You can pay anywhere from the low 20s to the high 40s depending on the maker and the options you select.

Speedster replicas are fun to drive. You don’t have to worry about wear and damage on a priceless classic original but you get all the style and driving enjoyment at a bargain price. Drafty, leaky side curtains and primitive convertible tops limit these cars to fair weather use but that was true with original Speedsters, too. Most sales for the real 1954-58 cars were in California, where weather is usually not a factor. And where many celebrities, including Steve McQueen, were known to enjoy these classics.

So, as Britney Spears learns the joys of driving a lightweight, tossable, stick shift car, perhaps some of her fans will follow. After growing up in Camrys and Accords, the back to the basics purity of the Speedster should prove to be a revelation. The Speedster provides timeless style and pure driving fun at a bargain price.

· Humidifiers in all areas.

· A selection of the latest magazines.

· A fresh selection of flowers that she will then arrange herself.

· DVDs of her favorite Marilyn Monroe movies.

· Books. Ideally, topical chick lit novels.

· Lighting must be 100 watt bulbs - no low lighting.

Pop star Britney Spears’ first tour of Europe in five years begins in London June 3 and ends in Helsinki July 16.

“The circus starring Britney Spears” tour began March 3 in New Orleans with 39 concerts scheduled in the US and Canada until May 5, to be followed by eight in London between June 3 and 14 and one in Manchester on June 17. Next stops will take the 27-year-old star to Dublin on June 19 and 20, Paris on July 5 and 6, Antwerp on July 9, Copenhagen on July 11, Stockholm on July 13 and Helsinki on July 16, the French organizers Nous Productions said. The organizers said the 50-million-dollar concerts bring together more than 50 artists on stage, including dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats. Spears, a few years back said to be the world’s most highly paid singer, is gradually getting her career back on track after a torrid period following her 2006 divorce from ex-husband Kevin Federline that culminated in her admission to hospital. A Los Angeles judge on Tuesday ruled her ex-manager Sam Lutfi and the attorney Jon Eardley stay away from the singer and her family for three years. The court had already issued a temporary order against Lutfi and Eardly in January. Lawyers for Spears father Jamie, who controls his daughter’s estate, alleged the two men had caused the singer emotional distress.

A 20-year-old man was arrested over the weekend after storming the stage during a Britney Spears concert in Connecticut. Kyle King jumped onto the stage on Saturday night (May 2) during Spears’ performance of her hit song ‘Womanizer’ at the Mohegan Sun Arena and attempted to dance with the pop star, before being dragged off stage by her dancers and security. King was arrested for breach of peace, reports TMZ, and was reportedly ‘uncooperative’ with police, earning him a booking for that, too. He was released Sunday (May 3) after posting $250 bond. King is due to appear in Norwich Superior Court on June 18.Kyle King said he didn’t mean any harm when he jumped on stage with Britney Spears and started dancing in front of the pop star during her weekend concert in Connecticut. “It was a spontaneous thing,” said King, a 20-year-old Valencia Community College student. “My intentions were pure.” Videos of the incident show King walking up on stage during Spears’ performance of “Womanizer.” And, when he’s up close with Spears and her dancers, he busts a move. Spears was clearly startled when she realized King was in front of her. King, who found himself in a blur of lights and sounds, said he heard Spears say, “Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!” Some male dancers grabbed King, rushed him downstairs and held him. Security guards handcuffed King. He was charged with breach of peace. Since video from the concert hit the Web, King said, he has received threats from Spears fans. King made his own video and posted it on You-Tube to help clear the air. King says he’s not crazy. He wasn’t going to harm or touch Spears. He wasn’t drunk. He was just having a good time. During an interview with the Orlando Sentinel at his Orlando home Tuesday, King said he had great seats — in the VIP section next to the stage. He had joked with a friend — on the phone — and said he was so close he could go up on stage. King knew “Womanizer” was going to be Spears’ last song, since he had been to her Tampa concert. “It was so fast,” he said. “Something flipped in my head.” King wasn’t actually booked into jail. But now he’ll have to go back up to Connecticut for a court appearance a few days before his 21st birthday.
