It's been more than a year since Britney Spears has released a video, but never fear Brit fans, her vid for "Hold It Against Me" is finally here.

In a dazzling mix of dancing and surrealism, Britney Spears dances, kicks and punches her way through a video that gets very weird without crossing into Gaga territory. Fans are in for a surprise around the 2:40 mark in the video when it switches from a traditional style video to an awesome display of Britney's stranger side.



As the music glitches and pulses, Britney Spears flashes a digitally altered smile before spraying the room with paint from her fingers and then literally getting into a fight with herself that looks like it was lifted straight out of a videogame.

Britney Spears Music Video: Dancing Double Alert!

Britney Spears Music Video: 

Dancing Double Alert!

Britney Spears' forthcoming video for "Hold It Against Me" is being heralded as genius by its choreographer. That may be true ... she's just not in all of it.

According to TMZ, citing a source close to the production, the singer couldn't nail the routines, so a dance double stepped in to do the difficult legwork.

Jonas Akerlund, the director, was upset that Britney Spears hadn't practiced enough so he asked her dance-double - Allison Kyler - to fill in. Things got heated.

Britney Spears supposedly left the "Hold It Against Me" set crying as a result.

Naturally, Britney's camp flatly denies this story. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

A rep for Britney Spears says "The accusations could not be further from the truth. Britney worked extremely hard and rehearsed for six weeks prior to shooting."

The rep adds that Britney and Jonas got along great, and that "fans will immediately see how inaccurate these claims are once they see the video."


Akerlund himself says "[Britney Spears] been great throughout the entire process. At the end of the shoot I got the warmest hug I ever got from an artist."

"I've been around long enough to know when an artist gives their all, and it doesn't get better than this. This video is f**king awsome. It's all Britney Spears."

Well, there are your two polar opposite accounts. Which do you believe?

Britney Spears' New Album Cover, Title Revealed: Femme Fatale!

Britney Spears' New Album Cover, Title Revealed: Femme Fatale!

Britney Spears will releases a new album Tuesday, March 15.

This morning, as promised, she revealed its title and cover ...

"I've poured my heart and soul into this album over the last 2 years. I put everything I have into it. This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way! I love you all!" the star Tweeted.

"Sexy and Strong. Dangerous yet mysterious. Cool yet confident!"

"FEMME FATALE' ... March ...."

In the accompanying cover shot, also Tweeted by Britney Spears herself, she wears little makeup and with her hair mussed, looking seductively at the camera.


Appropriate for an album being billed as one of her harder, edgier, grimier efforts. Its first single, "Hold It Against Me," certainly lives up to those descriptions.

The term Femme Fatale refers, at least in our interpretation, to a mysterious woman whose seductive powers over men often lead to dangerous situations.

Also appropriate for the incomparable Britney Spears, right?

While there's already controversy about her new music video and whether she uses a dancing/stunt double, so far the singer is letting criticism roll off her.

What controversy? A Femme Fatale thrives on such things.

A Look Back At Britney Spears’ Last Few Weeks: Trouble Brewing

We’ve all been seeing the change in Britney Spears lately. It’s mostly in the eyes. They are tired, stressed and even blank at times. Is she being overly medicated? Is Britney battling depression? Is her camp expecting too much from her?

I understand she’s releasing a new album and has to make sure her latest single remains strong… but it looks like Britney Spears needs a break.

Kanye West Clarifies Britney Spears Comments in Vintage Twitter Rant

Kanye West Clarifies Britney Spears Comments in Vintage Twitter Rant

After trash talking Britney Spears on Twitter about her new #1 single and how he "let her" have the top spot, Kanye West feels the need to clarify.

Because it's Kanye, some people assumed this was Taylor-Gate reloaded. But he was seriously not trying to start a feud with Spears, West insists.

Naturally, he took to Twitter again to rectify the situation.

 Kanye West

I'MMA LET U BE #1: It was a joke, people!

Aside from his inability to spell Britney, and the fact that the Shift and 1 keys on his MacBook are going to fall off, his ramblings are fairly well reasoned, funny and self-deprecating. Mostly. Here's what the much-maligned rapper had to say:

    Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany.

    This shit takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports… enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work.

    There's a new lie everyday… a new media spin… I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago!

    I'm one of the most considerate people in real life. Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real.

    There is no astronaut training for celebrity… even though this whole life is so outer space!

    I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes.

    How can u "let" someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me.

    When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all!

    But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That's just not my style!

    As pop stars we're all in this shit together! We on the inside of the TV!

    If the media wants to make a story … just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar…

    If you don't give em a story they just make one up. I'm just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope shit to the world!

    Once again thank you to all my fans who made MBDTF certified platinum!

    You all give me the power and I never take it for granted. I am an extension of my listeners.

    I won't always say the right thing but my heart is always in the right place.

Britney Spears Makes A Pit Stop At McDonalds

Britney Spears Makes A Pit Stop At McDonalds

All of you with kids KNOW what this is like: you’re out and about and one of the kids announces they have to go to the bathroom. Britney Spears and Jason Trawick apparently had that happen yesterday while they were out with Sean Preston.

They were spotted taking a bathroom break (security in tow) at a McDonalds. It looks like they practiced good self-control and didn’t buy anything to eat (and I think it takes considerable discipline to resist french fries ).

Britney Spears looks exhausted, doesn’t she? Well, a day spent running around after little ones will do that to you- lol.

Kanye West Trash Talks Britney on Twitter

Kanye West Trash Talks Britney on Twitter

Kanye West pulled a Kanye West and trash talked Britney Spears and her #1 single, "Hold it Against Me," on Twitter. Jokingly, we think. Mostly.

"Yo Britney, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z's single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL,” Kanye wrote.

West's Tweet, of course, is a reference to his infamous Taylor Swift MTV VMA speech hijacking and to Kanye’s new song "H.A.M." (featuring Jay-Z).

While West later removed the Tweet, Spears' manager Adam Leber appeared none too impressed when he responded on the pop singer's behalf.

"Thanks for 'letting' us be #1," Leber wrote. "Much appreciated."


West later apologized for it, telling fans, "On a serious note I'm truly happy for Britney Spears. No hate in 2011... I thought LOL signified a joke."

Typically yes, but when you're a total loose cannon, sometimes the public won't automatically assume you're lighthearted or poking fun at yourself.

In any case, these guys aren't kidding about taking town Brit.

Britney Spears Teases Release of New Single

Lady Gaga and Britney Spears are both ready to dominate the music world in 2011. Imagine the excitement when the latter's latest single leaked online.

Imagine if it were the real thing, too!

The pop superstar writes: "Heard an early demo of my new single leaked. If u think that's good, wait til you hear the real one Tuesday. - Britney"

Britney Spears' cover for "Hold It Against Me."

 Britney Spears Teases Release of New Single

Late last month, the "Hold It Against Me" lyrics first surfaced, and the demo now causing a stir online does appear to be the new single in question.

It's just not Britney Spears singing it. Clearly. Still, you can listen to the single, or at least what we assume will be the song, only with Britney Spears, here:

 Britney Spears Gets Her Nails Done

Britney Spears put in a full days worth of work yesterday in the studio. The singer is busy finalizing her latest album. A new single is supposed to drop any day now!!

Once she wrapped, Britney Spears headed to a nail salon in LA for a quick pampering session. Her hair extensions were noticeable because of her loose ponytail, but I don’t think Britney Spears minded.

She’s never been too fussy about her hair.

Britney Spears Was Inspiration For Gwyneth Paltrow For ‘Country Strong’

 Britney Spears Was Inspiration For Gwyneth Paltrow For ‘Country Strong’

Something tells me Britney Spears will take this story about as well as Lindsay Lohan took Gwyneth Paltrow’s mocking of her on ‘Glee.’ Anyway, according to Fox News’ Pop Tarts, Gwyneth’s character was partly inspired by Britney’s very public problems for Gwyneth’s character’s comeback in her new movie, ‘Country Strong.’

“You see a lot of these themes in real life, while I was writing the script a lot of those things that were happening with Britney Spears were very public,” writer/director Shana Feste revealed to FOX411’s Pop Tarts. “She was shaving her head, and I saw how fixated we are as a society in building people up to see their downfall and then the pleasure we take in building them up again.

Gwyneth herself said that she turned to her friend, singer Beyonce, for advice about performing.

“I picked the brains of my girl singer friends more.  I obsessively watched Beyonce perform, she is ‘it’ in terms of a performer – if I could just get a little bit of that abandon she has on stage, that’s what I was really focusing on,” Paltrow explained.

And actually, Gwyneth’s public persona is so different from Britney’s that the film studio president initially balked at the thought of Gwyneth taking the part!

“He thought everyone was so crazy because I was so wrong,” she said. ‘When you think ‘country superstar drink addict’ maybe you don’t think of me, but it’s in there… I haven’t been macrobiotic for a long time now, drinking country singer is much closer to the real me!”

OK, Gwyneth. Something tells me there’s a BIG difference between eating a macrobiotic diet and alcoholism- LOL.

Are you looking forward to seeing Gwyneth in ‘Country Strong‘?

Britney Spears Will Release New Music In January

 Britney Spears Will Release New Music In January

OK, so we told you this morning that Britney Spears will be releasing her new single January 7th, but her manager, Adam Leber, has taken to her official twitter account to clear some things up about that date!

Lot of misinformation out there regarding the release of Brits 1st single. Don’t believe everything you read…. -Adam Leber, Manager

Unless of course it’s an official announcement coming in January. STAY TUNED….. -Adam Leber, Manager

That said, the single is DEFINITELY coming in January. PS- happy new years people -Adam Leber, Manager

Sorry guys, but never pay attention to unofficial announcements. Just trying to clarify. Please don’t “hold it against me” -Adam, Manager

Alright, but I really hope its EARLY January – I miss Britney y’all!

Nothing Cheers Britney Spears Up Like…

Britney looks like she’s well-rested after her romantic getaway with boyfriend Jason Trawick.
Nothing like some time relaxing in the sun to get you ready for the frantic pace of the holidays, right? And with her parents back together, I bet the Spears family is gearing up for a great Christmas season.

Britney Spears Fires Back At Star Magazine

 Britney Spears Fires Back At Star Magazine

Britney Spears is fighting mad. Who wouldn’t be? Star Magazine has accused her boyfriend, Jason Trawick, of beating her. Star is standing by their story, and Britney is standing by her man. Now Britney has a message for them. Via her Twitter.

“Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, yawl can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana *ss!”

Britney’s lawyers are getting ready to sue at the moment. If this story is really as false as it seems. I hope they take them down.

“It’s amazing that Star continues to try to defend their story by putting out more and more pieces of a fraudulent recording. Everyone knows it is not her,” Spears’ manager Larry Rudolph tells Us. “The more they put out, the more ridiculous they look. The lawyers are drawing up the legal papers right now; there will 100 percent be a lawsuit. We are suing.”

Sometimes I’m of the opinion that celebrities should keep quiet about personal issues on their Twitter feeds, but in this case, I’m glad Britney spoke up. The allegations are too serious for her to stay quiet.
