News that Miley Cyrus is set to team up with The Flaming Lips and Andrew from MGMT to record a cover of The Beatles “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” wasn’t exactly received with a wave of enthusiasm. One Beatles fan replied to The Flaming Lips’ frontman Wayne Coyne’s Instagram announcement by saying “Sorry if I don’t want a washed-up Pink Floyd tribute band, and Hannah Montana, ruining one of the greatest songs of all time.”

Miley's impending Beatles cover is not eagerly awaited

Outraged Beatles fans may be jumping the gun a little, as we haven’t heard what the track even sounds like yet. However, these songs have been released and we can safely agree that they have produced some of the worst song covers of all time, most of them bordering on outright offensive.

Congratulations to Jamie Lee Spears and her new husband! Britney’s younger sister just married her beau James Watson on Friday and the pair could not look any sweeter. The couple tied the knot in an intimate setting - at the Audubon Tea Room in New Orleans.

This is 22-year-old Jamie Lynn's very first marriage.

The bride wore a Liancardo gown. Earlier in the day, she was spotted with mom Lynne Spears, heading to a nail salon near the family’s home in Kentwood. Meanwhile, Britney Spears and her boyfriend David Lucanno were apparently spotted on Thursday, catching a flight from Los Angeles to New Orleans, E! News reports.

The Amanda Bynes saga was funny at first. When she started dressing like Nicki Minaj, pierced her cheeks and began tweeting strange messages to rapper, Drake, it all just seemed like harmless Miley Cyrus attention seeking. But then things took a turn for the worst when Amanda’s behaviour became increasingly erratic, culminating in her attempting to start up a fire in a neighbour’s driveway before accidentally covering her puppy in gasoline.

Amanda began behaving strangely, emerging from court wearing a knotted blonde wig

The actress’ problems didn’t seem to really start until 2012 when she received a DUI and later that year she was charged for two more alleged hit and run incidents. By 2013 she had been arrested for possession of drugs and her hard partying seemed to be a symptom of something a little more sinister. When things finally came to a head with the fire incident, it was clear that Amanda wasn’t high on drugs or ‘acting out’, this was somebody with mental health issues.

How I Met Your Mother is a phenomenal success in sitcom terms. To get one season is a dream; to get two is teetering on the unthinkable. To get nine – well you’re in ‘Friends’ and Frasier’ territory there, and that’s not bad company to be keeping.

But it all could have been so different for the hit show had they not attracted the star power of Britney Spears, who starred back in 2008, providing a welcome boost for the flagging sitcom.

As the Pretty Little Liars star looks set to take her first steps into being a musician, she will do so with the help of the show that first launched her to success, when it returns from it's mid-season break on Tuesday, 7 January.

Britney Spears caused a stir in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve as she kicked off her residency with a spectacular performance of all her best-loved hits.

The 'Work Bitch' singer was a highly anticipated event for all who attended and certainly kicked off 2014 in style. The show was awash with more sequins and scantily-clad, extremely toned backing dancers than you could imagine and, in spite of the poor ratings her latest album 'Britney Jean' received, no-one could deny that she was on form throughout the night.

Britney Spears was celebrating big for the Christmas holidays as she kicked-off her two year residency in Las Vegas.

The 32 year-old performed to a full house which included several fellow showbiz heavyweights from singers to actors.

But who does the 'Toxic' singer look at with admiration and for inspiration?

Britney Spears kicked off her two year residency at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort on Friday, 27 December, to a packed out crowd that included a number of famous faces, including Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. Most of the audience members left the auditorium in awe of what they had witnessed, whilst others were left disappointed at the fact that Britney lip synced through parts of her performance.

The first 'Piece of Me' show contained a lot of dancing, but little singing

According to the New York Daily News' 'Confidenti@l' section, Britney had long been planning on lip syncing through parts of her performance and on the debut night she did exactly that on hits like 'Womanizer' and 'Perfume.' The 32-year-old singer performed to a packed-out crowd inside the Axis Theater and went through a number of fast-paced dance routines during some of her more exuberant songs, as well as performing some slower paced number that featured a stripped back routine with little stage action. Apparently Britney lip-synced through both kinds of performances.

Britney Spears kicked-off her two year Las Vegas residency on Friday (Dec 27th) to a sold-out audience.

But the 32 year-old still wants to achieve more in the entertainment industry.

In a recent interview with E!News, Spears revealed "I would love to act."

Britney Spears starred in her own fly-on-the-wall documentary I Am Britney Jean for E! over the weekend, in a feature-length outing that allowed fans to see the singer as she prepares for her upcoming residency in Las Vegas. The documentary gave us some revealing tidbits into her set and showed what life as a famous working mother was like, as well as uncovering some of Britney's plans for the future.

Britney Jean might be Brit's last album

While her immediate plans for the future involve her singing at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas for the next two years, after that Britney reckons that she might be finished with the showbiz industry. The mum-of-two wants to be able to spend more time with her kinds and return to a simpler life, like the one she had in her native Louisiana .

Britney Spears will star in E!'s fly-on-the-wall documentary I Am Britney Jean tonight (22 Dec.), which looks to lift the lid on her upcoming residency in Las Vegas. Ahead of the documentary's premiere, the singer featured on a guest spot for the channel where she revealed what she's hoping for from Santa this year, which, refreshingly, isn't much.

We hope Britney is in the festive mood

"What do I want Santa to bring me? I have everything," the singer told E! Entertainment's Marc Malkin prior to the airing of her one-off documentary special. The mother of two added, "I'm so happy. I don't need anything. I just want good health, happiness and love."

Garth Brooks released his new box set, Blame It All on My Roots, to an eager fan-base last week, who have managed to see it rise from No. 3 in the Billboard 200 to the No. 1 spot this week. Britney Spears saw her new album debut to a rather lacklustre start on the other hand, as it only just managed to crack the top five, debuting at No. 4.

Brooks is back on top with his latest compilation

Brooks' second box set to reach the top of the charts - his first being 1998's The Limited Series - will have undoubtedly been helped by value Walmart were offering the six disc collection for. Initially being sold for $29.98 before a sale price of $24.96 was introduced this week, Blame It All on My Roots will likely be lining plenty of country fan's stockings come Christmas. The box set sold an additional 146,000 copies this week, enough to see it move two places to the top.

Britney Spears has learnt much throughout her 32-years and whilst she sat in for Ryan Seacrest on the American Top 40 radio show, the singer was keen to dish out some word of wisdom to her fans. In between talking about her upcoming Las Vegas residency and her new album, Britney Jean, the singer also answered some personal questions too, with one person quizzing her on how best to get over a break-up.

Britney Jean is out now

"Just get another guy really quick!" Britney joked (via E! News). "I think if you get another boyfriend it's really easy to get over it."

Britney Spears begins her two year residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Hotel at the end of this month and ahead of her stay, the singer was welcomed to Vegas with a typically tacky show earlier this week. The organisers of her arrival to Planet Hollywood pulled out all the stops for Britney on her trip to see her work base for the next 24 months, as the singer was paraded through the streets of Vegas on her way from the airport to hotel.

Her new album, Britney Jean, is out now

The welcoming party began with eight blocks of usually-busy street being closed down especially for her arrival. The closure was put in place to allow an eight-car caravan to deliver Britney to Planet Hollywood, with the route soon teeming with Britney fans, some who held up 'Happy Birthday' signs for the singer, who turned 32 on Monday, 2 December. Fans then got to see a glimpse of the singer as she rode through town in a white 1958 Chevy Impala, parading through the town like a returning hero.

Britney Spears has begun to stream her upcoming album Britney Jean via iTunes to give her fans an early sneak preview into the album she has described as her "most personal record yet." The pop star herself announced the new of the early iTunes preview via Twitter, where she tweeted, "Yay! Excited to tell you that #BritneyJean is streaming for free all week on @iTunesMusic."

Love And A New Album Out: Britney's In A Good Place Right Now.

The stream totals just 36 minutes for Britney Jean's 10 songs but there will be an additional 4 songs added to the deluxe version upon the album's release, according to Billboard. Spears' eighth studio album will include her recent hits 'Work B*tch' and 'Perfume.' However, both songs have not been as sky-scrapingly successful as the star perhaps would have liked. The former has peaked at No. 12 and debuting at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively.

Jamie Lynn Spears may finally be ready to follow in her famous sister's footsteps and embark on her own singing career after releasing her first single this week. Britney Spears' sister will be hoping to conquer the music charts with her first-ever single, much like her big sis did back in the late 90's, with 'How Could I Want More.'

The teen mother has had more pressing matters to attend to other than her pop career

The 22-year-old released 'How Could I Want More' on Monday, 25 November, and already the track is working its way up the iTunes chart in the US, breaking into the top five last night. The immediate success of the country single can perhaps be owed to Jamie herself, who released the song a day early after teasing the date 26 November on her Twitter for the past few days.

Brtiney Spears’s 'Alien' apparently follows in the footsteps of fellow pop star Katy Perry’s 'E.T.' in terms of subject matter. Not so much in terms of sound though. The track was leaked today then promptly removed from YouTube and similar sites due to copyright claims. Before 'Alien' could be pulled, however, plenty of people got the chance to hear it. The track, produced by William Orbit (appropriate for a song called 'Alien'), is a mellow, warm tune, very different from Miss Spears’s previous single, 'Work B***h.'

'Britney Jean' will be out December 3.

Unfortunately those Britney fans, who like to get their music the legal, if a bit more expensive way, won’t be able to hear 'Alien' in full for some time. Of course, the song – along with 'Work B**ch' and any other singles Brit and her management decide to bless us with in the mean time, will also be on Britney Jean, the pop princess’ (or would that be queen at this point?) sixth studio album, due for a December release. This includes the upcoming 'Perfume,' which Spears was spotted filming the video for earlier this week.

Britney Jean will be out at the beginning of next month

The documentary will pick up as Britney is putting the final touches to her album and follows her as she makes the final preparations for her Vegas showcase.

Britney Spears has released the tracklisting for her forthcoming eighth studio album Britney Jean. The singer has been teasing details about the record for weeks - firstly with an 'album recipe' and later in a Twitter Q&A session - though she's finally given fans some cold hard details.

"Sneaky hackers always trying to ruin my surprises. Here is the TRUE #BritneyJeanTrackList http://smarturl.it/britneyjean pic.twitter.com/YZwfDdwXig," the singer tweeted on Monday after the list had leaked online.

Britney Spears has been coy with the details for her upcoming and eagerly anTIcipated eighth album, Britney Jean, since she announced its release earlier this year. With things moving at a snail's pace, every little revelation is like a cause for celebration, and our latest reason for celebrating came yesterday (12 Nov.) afternoon, when the singer unveiled the track list for her new album.

Britney Jean is out next month

The list had managed to make its way online without Britney's authority earlier this week, prompting the star to tweet the full track list herself soon after. She tweeted, "Sneaky hackers always trying to ruin my surprises. Here is the TRUE #BritneyJeanTrackList," along with a picture of the back of the album.

Fresh from news that her songs will tell the story of Jesus, Britney Spears has released 'Perfume', the second single from her eighth studio album, due out on December 3. In stark contrast to 'Work Bitch,' the new song sees Britney returning to the mid-tempo ballad.

Produced by Will.i.am and co-written by Spears and Sia, 'Perfume' sees the pop-superstar express "paranoid" feelings about her romantic interest. "Have you been thinking 'bout her or about me/And while I wait I put on my perfume, yeah I want it all over you/I gotta mark my territory," he sings.

Continue reading: Britney Spears Is Back To The Ballads With 'Perfume' Release

Britney Spears has slowed the pace down dramatically for her next single, wiping the sweat from the rambunctious 'Work Bitch,' to make a much sweeter smelling second single. 'Perfume' is a much more delicate release, a hark back to some of her more successful ballads like 'Lucky,' and as the singer herself revealed recently, it is also a much more personal release than her raunchy first single.

Britney Jean is out 3 December

"'Perfume' is incredibly special to me because it hits close to home, and I think the story is relatable to everyone," Spears said to E! News about her latest single. "Everyone's been through an insecure moment in a relationship that's left them vulnerable and I think this song captures that."

Britney Spears is one of the most popular female music stars in the world and has a global fan base, but that doesn't seem to include Somali pirates.

It has been revealed that Spear's songs are being used as a secret weapon to defend cargo ships against the threat of a hijacking by Somali pirates.

A merchant navy officer called Rachel Owens (34) told the Metro, "Oops I did it again" and "Baby One More Time" are the "most effective" in deterring the hijackers away.

In the battle against the ruthlessly violent pirates infesting the waters around the Horn of Africa, US crews have discovered a novel way to ward of any imminent attacks. Water pistols? Sharks? Sharks with water pistols?! Nope, it has been revealed that the navy's secret weapon when it comes to getting rid of pirates is a bit of all-American sugar pop, courtesy of Ms. Britney Spears.

Britney Spears Songs Used To Scare Away Pirates.

She may have had hits including 'Toxic' and '(You Drive Me) Crazy' but Britney could have never imagined that her songs would finally be put to good use repelling pirates from large cargo ships. Apparently, the two favourites to play - or not, if you're a pirate - are 'Oops! I Did It Again' and 'Baby One More Time,' arguably Spears' most well-known tracks.

Britney Spears has revealed her Britney Jean album cover, attaching a personal letter in which she promises her eighth studio album will be her "most personal record yet". Her letter was handwritten; and her decision to write owing to her need to express herself in more than 140 characters, as on Twitter. Spears further described her album as a "labour of love" and something which "I poured my heart and soul into."

The artwork for Britney Jean, due to be released on 3rd December.

The 31-year-old singer promised fans, in the letter posted on her official website, her album would show "the different sides of Britney Spears." She went on to explain these sides, stating "I am a performer. I am a Mom. I am funny. I am your friend!" She further emphasised in the letter how her past has influenced her music, inspiring her to "dig deeper" whilst writing.

Britney Spear has been coy about her upcoming eighth studio release, keeping quiet on the name of the album and what we may expect to find on it, other than her previous single, 'Work Bitch,' that is. On Firday, 25 October, however, Britney decided to start spilling the beans and not only revealed the name of the album, but also uploaded an image of the cover art on to her Twitter page.

Britney Jean is out on 3 December

If this wasn't enough, the singer then went on to upload a hand-written message for her fans on to her official website. In it, she explained the Britney Jean would be her "most personal record" to date. The singer also revealed in the note that the album still isn't finished, but it will be ready in time for the scheduled 3 December release. She insisted that she is "putting the finishing touches" to the album in the coming days and said that the release will be an eclectic one, saying, "I want to show you the different sides of Britney Spears."

Britney Spears has released the artwork for her highly anticipated eighth studio album Britney Jean. It's rather minimalist affair, showing Britney staring intently down the camera lens, while the title of the album is framed in a sort of neon love-heart. It's not the singer's best artwork, though it's certainly not her worst (remember Hit Me Baby One More Time?).

Anyway, Spears released the artwork on her official website with a lengthy letter to fans updating them on the album's progression.

Britney Spears appeared on Channel 4's 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man' this past Friday (Oct 18th) to promote her upcoming album, 'Britney Jean'.

The interview saw the singer cover a range of topics from her love of 99 cent stores, to her heartbreak when she split with Jason Trawick and the raunchy new video for the single 'Work Bitch'.

The host, Alan Carr, asked Britney if she had checked out the UK equivalent to a 99 cent store, called 'Poundland'.

Britney Spears, pop star extraordinaire, is getting flack from Houston radio hosts Roula & Ryan for a recent interview she did for their show. The interview itself has not been aired, but the hosts themselves made the rather extreme decision to tell the story on their show, which led them on a five-minute rant against the singer. 

The hosts claim Britney is far from professional, when it comes to interviews.

The host preface their story by explaining that they hate doing interviews when certain conditions are forced upon them and that Britney’s management limited the “safe” interview questions to just three topics. It doesn’t become all too clear what happened during the interview or what the original questions that the hosts came up with were. However, the hosts’ main complaint seems to be that Spears’ answers were not concise or thorough enough and that she seemed distracted during the chat.

Britney Spears' latest video, for the new single 'Work B*tch,' features bull whips, S&M gear and numerous allusions to sexual mishappenings, and the singer claims that this over-the-top sexualisation of herself isn't being done with her full discretion. In fact, the singer has apparently grown fed up of this über-sexual image that the record industry is trying to impose on her, and she has said that her days in skimpy outfits are over.

Outfit choices like this may soon be a thing of the past as far as Britney is concerned

The 31-year-old mother of two called into Boston radio station AMP 103.3 to talk on The TJ Show on Thursday (3 Oct.), when the conversation turned to her risqué new video. As the talk turned to the 'Work B*tch' video, Britney insisted that the overtly sexual themes in it had gotten out of hand, as she claimed that she was being pushed too far. Britney explained, "A lot of sex goes into what I do. But sometimes I would like to bring it back to the old days when there was like one outfit through the whole video, and you’re dancing the whole video, and there’s like not that much sex stuff going on."

'Work Bitch,' the latest single from pop's returning princess Britney Spears, finally had it's music video premiered after weeks of waiting last night (1 Oct.). In the vid, we see Britney back to her old ways of incorporating a heavy, dance-orientated theme, that is also meant to cause a stir from the viewers.
