Spears was performing a new song, “Boom Boom,” when the mishap occurred, according to reports. Perhaps she hadn’t worked out all the kinks in the routine-in any case, Spears was forced to abandon the stage. Several minutes later, she reappeared on the stage in a white bathrobe and apologized to her fans for cutting the performance short. The “Toxic” singer had planned to continue with… Read more »

Now that Britney Spears is a single woman again, she already has at least one potential beau: Hugh Hefner. The 77-year-old Playboy founder said he’s interested in adding the pop singer to his bevy of beautiful blonde girlfriends. “Britney would make a great girlfriend,” Hefner told Us Weekly magazine for its Jan. 19 issue. “Picasso had his pink period and his blue period.

Britney Spears insists she is role model for young girls despite recent revealing magazine covers and her new album with sexually explicit lyrics, the British Broadcasting Corp. said Sunday. In a radio interview to be broadcast Monday, the 21-year-old pop star said parents should not be worried if their children want to copy her. “I probably have more older fans than the younger ones, but I think the reason why everyone talks about the younger fans so much is because the parents are concerned,” Spears was quoted as saying. “And in the end they shouldn’t be concerned because they should… Read more »

From her love life to her infamous MTV Video Music Awards kiss with Madonna to her National Football League kickoff concert and her most recent performance in New York’s Times Square, the artist has tested the limits of her sexuality. But now comes the moment of truth. With her new… Read more »

Madonna may have teamed up with Britney Spears recently to boost Britney’s latest single, but she’s making sure her own album doesn’t get neglected in the process – so she’s revisiting American Life on an upcoming EP. Remixed and Revisited, due November 25, will include seven songs, including one previously unreleased track, “Your Honesty,” a holdover from the Bedtime Storiesrecording sessions, co-written and co-produced by Dallas Austin. Madonna’s recent collaboration with Spears notwithstanding, the EP also features their live performance of the “Like a Virgin/Hollywood” medley with Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott at this year’s Video Music Awards. Elliott returns… Read more »

The early buzz on the new Britney Spears album was that it would be adventurous, atmospheric and above all, adult. Two out of three ain’t bad. Sure, Britney has a bit of a trip-hop vibe on her upcoming album, just not enough to justify her love for her mentor Madonna’s latter-day direction. In the Zone is by no means Britney’s Ray of Light. Instead, Spears’ fourth album jumps stylistically all over the place, from techno to hip-hop, even to reggae, with thumping, tribal dance songs being the predominant flavor, save for a touching ballad or two. The only thematic connection… Read more »
