  • Britney Spears’ Costume Rips Open During Show, She Keeps Going

    Britney Spears has been onstage for so many years of her life that at this point, costume malfunctions don’t faze her.

    The singer was performing her Piece Of Me show in Vegas over the weekend when the entire back piece of her outfit came undone and the zipper broke, almost causing her to flash the audience. Ever the professional, Brit kept right on going as her dancers tried to fix the problem onstage and tried to keep up with their steps at the same time.

    Luckily Spears was able to run off stage once the lights dimmed and get things patched up, but these things happen now and then to even the most prepared of performers, and it’s not even the first time it’s happened to Britney. That’s not stopping her from moving on with the show, however, as she recently announced she would be extending her successful Vegas residency by two years.

    “I’m not ready to leave Vegas yet! And I just really, really love this show and this city. I’m so proud of the show, and my band, my dancers and my crew have all become such a family to me. When it came down to me really having to make this decision, I just couldn’t imagine ending my residency at the end of this year,” Britney Spears said.

    Spears made headlines several times earlier this year for a breakup and for her adoration of Taylor Swift. The pop star admitted to E! News that she loves Swift and that her music makes her happy, and complimented her on having such a good head on her shoulders. Spears, who grew up in the public eye like Swift has, says she thinks she’s “wise”.

    “I love Taylor Swift. I think she’s adorable. I love her music. Her music makes me so happy. She’s very level-headed. She’s a very, very smart girl, very wise,” Spears said.

  • Britney Spears Slams Fat-Shaming Heckler During Her Las Vegas Show

    Britney Spears was fat-shamed at her Las Vegas show on Wednesday, but she didn’t let it halt her performance. Spears had just returned to the stage at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino this week after a hiatus, when a heckler rudely dissed her.

    “Fat bitch,” a member of her audience shouted while she sang and danced her way through Wednesday’s Piece of Me residency show.

    Without even skipping a beat, however, Britney Spears cursed the fat-shamer out.

    “F–king a–holes!” she quickly replied before finishing her 2011 hit song, ‘Till the World Ends.’

    Britney Spears has yet to comment to the press about the incident. Do you expect she could face any repercussions from the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino as a result of the way she cursed the audience member? Hopefully she isn’t under any kind of contract clause that states she can’t dish out what rude audience members throw her way. The insult hurled in her direction was hurtful and unkind.

    Britney Spears will continue performing at her Las Vegas residency through September.

    It wasn’t too long ago that Britney Spears admitted she was taking algebra lessons so she would be able to help her son with his homework. She is a very dedicated mom to Sean Preston and Jayden James, and this residency has made her available to them even more than when she went on the road.

    Britney Spears isn’t the kind of person who takes an insult lying down. Kudos to her for slamming her heckler back. Imagine how proud her sons will be when they are one day old enough to hear her story.

  • Jennifer Lopez is Britney Spears’ (American) Idol

    Jennifer Lopez is reportedly returning to the next season of American Idol, but it seems she’s been an idol for a long time–for Britney Spears. The Las Vegas performer admits she’s long looked to J Lo as a singer and dancer that she very much admires.

    Spears admitted she’d love to do movies one day–much the way Jennifer Lopez did after launching her music career. She said she’d even love to star in a film with J Lo.

    “Jennifer Lopez is my idol – she’s so beautiful and even though she’s gotten older, she hasn’t aged at all. She looks more amazing than ever and I really admire and respect that,” Britney said.

    Britney Spears recently kicked off her 2-year Las Vegas residency at Planet Hollywood, where she performs her show Piece of Me. She is certainly driven–as Jennifer Lopez always has been–and despite her current amazing gig, is looking to the future. Given her talent on stage, she would likely make the jump to the film world with no problem.

    It must be very flattering to Jennifer Lopez (surely she’s heard about it by now) to know that Britney Spears considers her an idol. Imitation has always been the most sincere form of flattery. It will be fun to see if Britney succeeds in all the ways that Lopez has.

  • Britney Spears Opens Vegas Show, Did She Lip-Sync?

    Britney Spears opened her debut show in Vegas this weekend, performing her first of about 100 concerts in the coming two years. But did Britney really perform? Some believe she may have been lip-syncing, even though her manager and a casino executive insist she is performing live.

    Spears was indeed wearing a microphone throughout her show, but sources feel she wasn’t singing live–even during slow songs like Perfume, during which she sat down on stage.

    “Piece of Me,” which is the name of Britney Spears’ Las Vegas show, will play at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for the next two years. Lasting less than 90 minutes, it featured (at least during her first show) a taste of old-school Vegas entertainment along with the heavier beats of today’s music. The show reportedly has lots going on to distract those who might not have questioned whether or not she was actually singing while on stage.

    Opening night certainly drew an A-List crowd. Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry were stationed front and center by the stage.

    Only time will tell if Britney Spears has what it takes to keep fans entertained for a two-year run in Vegas. She’s definitely no Elton John or Celine Dion, but there’s something about Britney that everyone seems to love. Her dancing is second to none–and when that’s combined with catchy tunes and her incredibly sexy, dazzling costumes–it just might keep Las Vegas talking for a while to come.

  • Las Vegas Hotels: Britney Spears’ Sin City Christmas

    If you’re one of Britney Spears’ millions of Twitter followers, you likely already know about the two hour I Am Britney Jean special airing on E! tonight.

    You probably also know the pop icon is about to kick off her Vegas show in less than a week.

    And you’ve got a special Mark David Chapman sort of affinity for her, you may also have known long before I did that she’s starting a residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, Las Vegas for the next couple of years. In fact, you’re probably seeking vacancies in the vicinity for suitable star stalking hotels right now, aren’t you?

    That’s okay. Don’t be ashamed. Britney would totally approve of fans flocking to see her Piece of Me performance. In fact, she just held a contest last month to fly winners out for a two day stay via her “MTV Presents: Up Close and Personal With Britney Jean” contest, as part of a campaign to better connect artists and their fans.

    “From the beginning of my career MTV has always brought me together with my fans,” Spears said. “This is another really cool way and I can’t wait to see the winner at the front row of my show.”

    Before this coruscating extravaganza ensues, however, those closest to Britney will be coming out to see her first. According to sister Jamie Lynn Spears, the star and her family will be spending the holidays in Sin City. “We are actually going to go to Vegas and the whole family is going to be there,” Jamie Lynn told MTV news.

    Despite the recent cover Jamie Lynn did of her sister’s pop hit Oops I Did It Again, she claims that she’ll just be sitting this round out. Her plan is to attend the show solely for sisterly support and avoid any on-stage appearances. Jamie Lynn says, “I’m just there to be a cheerleader and that’s kind of intimidating. I don’t know how to dance.”

    Die hard followers who hope to “cheer” on their Queen Bee too, may want to do it sooner rather than later. Spears has admitted she’s contemplated retiring in the past. She states, “I have thought about it, but I think right now is my time to perform and doing what I’m doing,”

    The takeaway for any faithful fans still sans tickets or lodgings?

    “You’d better book, b*tch!”

  • Britney Spears Claims Vegas Residency, Announces Tour

    It has been quite a few years since pop icon Britney Spears has released any new hits; however, that does not mean she has taken herself out of the media spotlight. Since Spears’ last album Femme Fatale in 2011, she has kept herself in the public eye by joining the judging panel on the well-known reality/talent show The X Factor. Since her resignation from The X Factor earlier this year, Spears decided to continue focusing on her music.

    This morning (Tuesday, September 17th, 2013), Britney Spears made various announcements during her interview on ABC’s Good Morning America. Spears’ first announcement was that she will be taking a two-year residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, NV. “I love Vegas,” Spears exclaimed, “The energy here is really, really good.”

    Along with her residency announcement, Spears also discussed her upcoming tour “Britney: Piece of Me,” which will start December 27th. With this new tour, Spears states that it will include her greatest hits, along with new material to “keep it fresh.” During her interview, she confirmed that the tour will be an “action-packed performance hybrid, where club meets theatre.” Spears elaborated that she wants her concert environment to be like this so that the fans are “in the show with her.”

    Spears also tweeted her announcement of her residency and tour on her Twitter account:

    Good Morning America also asked for Spears’ reaction on the following topics:

    • If you could pick your favorite hit, what would it be? Spears’ answer to this question was “Toxic,” a hit from In The Zone (2003).
    • Her reaction to Miley Cyrus’ performance at the recent MTV Video Music Awards – Spears responded that “Anytime you do a performance that is ‘that memorable,’ you are going to have criticism.” Spears also stated that “She [Miley]’s being herself.”

    Concluding her interview with Good Morning America, Spears discussed her work on her latest and eighth studio album, along with the content behind her songs, including her recent breakup with Jason Trawick.
