Britney Spears has proved that she's a pop star with a patriotic side. The superstar singer provided free tickets to her live show for a group of U.S. Marines after they made a YouTube video of her song Hold It Against Me, which became a huge internet hit. The singer, 29, even took time out to pose with a group after her show yesterday in Anaheim, California. 'So honoured to meet the marines of HMLA-169 'Vipers' who made that amazing HIAM video. -Britney,' she tweeted after the concert, with a picture attached. The video, which has had over three million...

The video for her new single Hold It Against Me debuted just last week but Britney Spears and the first song from her new album has certainly made an impact, although perhaps not in the way she was hoping for. In fact, the 29-year-old singer is being accused of plagiarism and is facing a multi-million dollar lawsuit. Britney is accused of ‘ripping off’ the rock ballad If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me by the Bellamy Brothers.

This is a free country. If Sarah Palin wants to run for president in 2012, she is free to try. But she will not win the GOP nomination because Republican voters are not going to choose a middle-aged version of Britney Spears -- a figure whose most evident talent is to attract attention to herself -- to challenge Barack Obama. It's this simple: Republicans are too smart to nominate a candidate with a 50 percent unfavorable rating, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll, before she has declared for office. Cue to Palin's latest video, in which she...

A former bodyguard for pop star Britney Spears has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against her. Fernando Flores has accused the singer of repeatedly parading around in the nude and having sex in front of him. Mr Flores also claims Ms Spears caused him emotional distress by having violent quarrels with her boyfriend in front of her two children. The singer's lawyer did not comment. A lawyer for her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, called the case "baseless". According to papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Mr Flores alleges that Spears made repeated, unwanted sexual advances and summoned him to her...

11th August 2010 The man who helped launch the career of Kylie Minogue yesterday condemned modern pop culture for 'sexualising' youngsters. Mike Stock, one third of the legendary pop factory Stock, Aitken and Waterman, said: 'The music industry has gone too far. It's not about me being old fashioned. It's about keeping values that are important in the modern world. 'These days you can't watch modern stars - like Britney Spears or Lady Gaga - with a two-year-old. 'Ninety-nine per cent of the charts is R 'n' B and 99 per cent of that is soft pornography.' He continued: 'Kids...

Britney Spears is doing groundwork to get herself frozen after her death, hoping that she can be brought back to life, sources say. The singer wants her body preserved in liquid nitrogen, in a process known as "cryogenic" freezing.

Britney Spears is celebrating her third #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, coincidentally with her new single "3." Spears debuts in the top spot with her racy new track this week. "3" sold over 255,000 downloads this week to also take #1 on the Hot Digital Songs chart. With the #1 debut of "3," Spears becomes the first artist to debut at #1 on the chart in over three years, when Taylor Hicks debuted with "Do I Make You Proud" in July of 2006. Spears might also become the only non-"Idol" artist to have a #1 debut this decade. (Carrie...

This week ABC News sent Twitter all atwitter with a photo of Britney Spears sporting a Star of David necklace. Has the pop star, asked ABC, converted to Judaism? The comeback queen has had a variety of religious dabblings over the years, including Kabbalah and Hinduism, despite her Baptist roots. But this sighting has fueled Internet rumors that Spears may be engaged to her latest and, perhaps, most wholesome boyfriend, Jason Trawick, who happens to be Jewish. My answer is: doubtful. Conversion to Judaism is a long affair: many months, if not years of study, work with a teacher or...

Is American mega pop star Britney Spears set to return to the big screen, seven years after starring in the box office flop Crossroads? According to reports, Spears has been offered a part in the upcoming Holocaust film The Yellow Star of Sophia and Eton, which integrates time travel, concentration camps and a love story.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! In the June 29 issue of Star, we exclusively report that after two failed marriages — one that last only 55 hours! — Britney Spears is preparing to walk down the aisle again, this time with her agent turned lover, Jason Trawick. After more than three years of casual hookups, Brit and Jason took their relationship to the next level while they were on vacation in the Bahamas last month. That's when Brit and Jason shared a special night together during which Jason popped the question! "He didn't exactly get down...

A FRENCH computer hacker is thought to have tapped into Twitter's internal system, gaining access to millions of accounts including that of US President Barack Obama. The hacker, under the name "Hacker Croll", posted a series of screenshots showing him viewing internal website settings and the private details of user accounts. The screenshots show Croll looking at the behind-the-scenes details for the account of US President Barack Obama, including the IP address of the last person to use it. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone confirmed unauthorised access was gained by an outside party during the week, but said only 10 individual...

If he chooses to keep the anger in his voice, diatribes, and campaign he will only be injuring himself. And that's the saddest part of all. Because believe it or not God loves Mario/Perez and wants him to find real peace, true joy, and lifelong contentment. Come to think of it, that might be why Perez fights so hard against normalcy, Jesus knows his name and has his number... but Perez keeps hitting the button sending the communication straight to voicemail.

Britney Spears Thinks Her Dad is Drugging Her Apr 18 posted by Showbiz Spy Britney Spears has a new fear — she’s worried that her dad is drugging her.The singer, 27, is currently under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie Spears. And Britney has “convinced herself” the patriarch is upping her medication to keep her subdued — so he can stay in control of her life. “Britney is sure her father is out to get her and that he’s drugging her to turn her into a zombie who won’t fight back,” a source told British magazine Look. “Ever since her...

Britney Spears walked off stage shortly after the start of a concert last night at Vancouver's GM Place, leaving the crowd to sit in the dark for 30 minutes. The Vancouver Sun reports that a voice came on the venue's loudspeaker during the dark period informing the audience that cigaratte smoke was to blame. "It's become uncomfortable and unsafe for the performers, including Ms. Spears,"

WASHINGTON, DC - Sparking bipartisan outrage on the Hill, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor admitted to skipping President Obama’s economic press conference to “Get his dance on.” As the news of Cantor’s whereabouts Tuesday night began making the rounds on the Hill Wednesday afternoon, House Minority Leader John Boehner was unavailable for comment, but a staffer requesting anonymity, told the Weekly World News that his boss was, “Crazy jealous. He loves Brit Brit. And that presser was bo-ring to the max.”

[video -- get ready to cover your ears] Let’s get right to the point. Because nothing we could write could possibly be funnier than the sound of Britney Spears singing without a music track. In fact, there are lots of things we’d rather hear before we have to listen to Britney sing again. For example, the hideous screeching of a she devil giving birth. The mournful wailing of a coyote whose leg is caught in trap. The sound of lunatic eating his own tongue. But we’re feeling charitable today, so let’s just say, “Ladies and gentlemen, here’s Britney Spears.”

If Britney Spears wants to launch her grand return with a trite and tacky rough-sex pantomine, I suppose that's her business. She's not known as a pop tart for nothing. What I do find noteworthy is the way GMA celebrated that bit of rough stuff, featuring it in its opening minutes. Even there, it's not ABC's descent into schlock that jumps out so much as the double standard. Can you imagine the dutifully feminist ABC applauding such junk if the gender tables had been turned? Me neither. Diane Sawyer, uh, teased things during the show opening. View video here.

Ryanair on Friday claimed Sweden's Trade Ethical Council against Sexism in Advertising (ERK) was out of touch with the "Britney Spears generation" after the agency accused the discount airline of running a sexist ad campaign. In defending the advertisement, Ryanair questioned whether the ERK accurately reflected the views of most Swedes. “We are sure that the anti-funsters at the ERK do not speak for the majority of the famously liberal and easy going Swedes,” the company said in a statement. “The ad simply reflects the way a lot of young girls like to dress. We hope the old farts at...

Warning: excessive adulation of Barack Obama is harmful to the vision and and in extreme cases can even cause hallucinations. We're all familiar with how an Obamania overdose produced strange tingling sensations in Chris Matthews. A new, virulent strain of the malady has now surfaced, claiming its first victim in the person of Bob Herbert, who on live national TV claimed to see visions of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Washington Monument where none existed.
