Britney Spears’ fiance Jason Trawick is officially the singer’s newest conservator — the judge in her conservatorship case just signed off on giving him legal power to govern Britney’s affairs. TMZ broke the story … Britney’s dad and conservator Jamie Spears filed the petition earlier this month, asking the court to add Jason as a co-conservator. We’re told Britney also wanted Jason on board as co-conservator. After the hearing, we overhead the lawyers say Jamie is “thrilled.” The move makes total sense … considering the two are set to be married. As co-conservator, Jason is now empowered to help decide how Britney will earn and spend her money — including the $15 million deal she’s about to sign with “X Factor.” Source: TMZ |

Britney Spears and “X Factor” have struck a deal that will line the singer’s pocket to the tune of $15 million for next season … TMZ has learned. We’re told Britney’s team and “X Factor” big wigs are working out “the fine points” of the deal, but the major terms are locked. Once the final contract is drafted and signed … it will go to Jamie Spears, Britney’s daddy and conservator, as well as lawyers for the conservatorship. If they sign off, it must then go to the judge who oversees the conservatorship for approval. Sources connected with the deal tell us … it’s a “virtual certainty” everyone will sign off. By the way, we’re told Jason Trawick is “very involved” in the negotiations. Simon Cowell, the “X Factor” Executive Producer, told us on TMZ Live Tuesday, “I would love to have her on the show. I think she would be a fascinating person to sit next to.” Simon said they may make an announcement within a week. Britney would fill one of two vacant seats on the judging panel. She’s also way more expensive than the castoffs — Nicole Scherzinger reportedly pulled in $1.5 million, while Paula Abdul raked in $2.5 mil. Source: TMZ |

AccessHollywood: Simon Cowell has yet to say who might fill the two vacant judges’ chairs on “The X Factor,” but he’s revealed that both Britney Spears and Janet Jackson would make good choices. The British TV mogul called into “The Billy Bush Show,” where he spoke “hypothetically” about the possibility of the two pop stars joining the show. “I’m fascinated by [Britney.] The fact that she’s one of the most talked about – not just pop stars – but people in the world today, means that you’ve got this star power,” Simon told Billy Bush when asked about the rumors of Britney joining the show – stressing that he could neither confirm nor deny who he and the show’s producers have spoken with. “This girl has got resilience,” he said of the pop princess. “I would think that if she’s managed to sustain a family, a career, which is tough, [‘X Factor’ would be] a walk in the park.” Billy pointed out that Britney has not had the free forum that “The X Factor” would provide her in many years. “I would be fascinated to hear what she had to say,” he explained. “She’s still hot, she’s still having hit records and she’s still controversial, there’s a reason for that.” Simon also spoke briefly about the possibility of Janet becoming a judge, saying, “Would she be a good judge? Yes.” The biting Brit explained to Billy that the upcoming season of his reality completion series would be different than the first. “We’re making a new show this year,” he continued. “We have to put much more emphasis on the contestants this year.” |

We know damn well that social campaigns can have a massive impact in popular culture. Pop Princess Britney Spears seems to be taking advantage of that as she incited a Twitter campaign to get her as a guest appearance on popular TV sitcom “Modern Family”. Spears said “innocently” that she was not looking forward to the Superbowl, where her personal friend Madonna would be performing, to be watching “Modern Family”. The tweet was trigger to multiple rumors in celebrity blogs about a possible guest appearance of the pop singer in the show. This would not be the first time Spears adventured in acting roles. She played a country girl in Crossroads, a movie released in 2002 which had a casino-themed scene where the actors would be playing at US casino. Following this movie role, the singer had a part in Austin Power: The Golden Member. She is not new to TV. Britney has been featured as a special guest in several TV shows: “How I Met Your Mother”, “Will & Grace” and “Glee”. In all of which, the singer’s appearance broke the series record for their highest audience. During the “Glee” episode, the singer’s long-time mega-hit “Toxic” re-charted on iTunes. Spears also has some recognition for her TV work. She was pre-nominated for an Emmy Award for her guest appearance in “How I Met Your Mother”, and her TV special for HBO, “Britney: Live in Las Vegas”, in 2001 has won a technical Emmy. The Twitter campaign for Spears on Modern Family was joined by one of the show’s stars, Sofia Vergara asked her Twitter followers if they would like to see Britney Spears having a cameo on the show. Nothing has been, however, concretized but we still hope to see The Queen of Pop gracing yet another TV show, and breaking yet another audience record. |

Madonna is famous for going in on celebrities. The so called Queen of Pop talked during an interview about Pop Princess Britney Spears comparing her to Electronic Pop Dance current trend Lady Gaga. Keeping it simple, the Material Girl compared Britney Spears and Lady Gaga in the beauty departments only to come to the conclusion that the Toxic singer is almost flaw free while Lady Gaga is full of imperfections. Madonna’s statement only came to add more fuel to the media feud between her and Lady Gaga. Recently, the Queen of Pop called Gaga’s work on “Born This Way” reductive as it resembles Madge’s own past work “Express Yourself”. Madonna, however, praised the way Gaga connects with the gay community. She said she thinks Gaga association with the gay community seems genuine saying she’s connected to them because she’s imperfect and feels unconventional. That is really how Gaga garnered her gay following support, by being unconventional, whilst Britney Spears connected with them by being flawless. To end the sentence, Madonna simply said “She’s not Britney Spears” on Lady Gaga. The relationship between Britney Spears and Madonna has always received excessive media attention. The two prove, over and over, to have a lasting friendship relation. Madonna has talked Britney several times while Britney herself has cited Madge as one of her main influences. The connection between the two was highlighted during the kiss they shared at the stage of The MTV Music Awards in 2003, they later joined forces in a song together (“Me Against The Music”) and have taken parts in the tour of each. In 2007, for example, Britney Spears made a stage appearance at Madonna’s “Sticky and Sweet Tour”. Backstage footage showed the two singers hanging out previous to the show at American poker rooms and they seemed really happy. Madonna is coming back now with a single title “Give Me All Your Luvin’”, and as she comes back, there are even rumors of Britney Spears being featured on her upcoming new album. Would you be ready for another explosive pop duet? |

It’s hard to believe but the queen of post-millennial teen pop, Britney Spears, has just turned 30. She turned the big 3-0 on Friday Dec 2nd and spent it ice skating with her boyfriend Jason Trawick. Spears told Glamour Magazine, “I think the older you get, the wiser you get. I can’t wait. I’m really excited and I am definitely going to celebrate and do something spectacular. I’m gonna be in South America so I’ll have to do something pretty fun. A carnival of Britney?” When she and Trawick were done ice skating, she gave a free show at the Revolution Monument in Mexico City. It is hard to believe that it has been over a decade since she broke out with “…Baby One More Time.” Since then she has done everything from selling out venues of major US casinos like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to her current worldwide Femme Fatale tour and who can forget that kiss with Madonna or other legendary moments of her career? Not all the recent news about Britney is good though. Well, that depends on how you look at it. Recently, reports swirled around a rumor that Britney has fired her personal trainer Derek DeGrazio. While the split was “amicable”, the incident apparently surrounds her not wanting her diet restricted anymore. While she is indeed a bit bigger than she used to be, she definitely isn’t a porker by any standards. Her trainer apparently isn’t terribly upset over the incident as felt that Britney made him look bad after she cheated on the diet he setup for her. It’s not like Spears has a sedentary lifestyle. She will be perfectly fine, and even if she isn’t, Jenny Craig always can use another celebrity spokeswoman. All in all, we should all celebrate our eternal Pop Princess has gotten into a new stage of her life and Britney Spears, the popstar we all love, ain’t over yet. |
