  • Britney Spears On Retiring: “I’ve Thought About it”

    Is Britney Spears ready to retire?

    While the pop superstar admits she has thought about retiring, she said she is not quite ready to give up on her career and is planning on continuing her two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

    “I have thought about it, but I think right now is my time to perform and doing what I’m doing,” Spears told E! News while promoting her new special I am Britney Jean.

    Spears is loving the spotlight, but says that she would give it all up and move back to Louisiana if she was to experience a life-changing event like having another baby.

    “If I happen to have another baby or something like that, I’d probably move back to Louisiana,” she explained. “I do miss Louisiana. I miss the people. I miss the food. I miss the way of life, how everything is really simple. There’s no traffic like there is in L.A. It’s really nice.”

    In other Britney news, she said she is really excited about the quickly approaching holiday season and revealed what she wanted from Santa Clause … nothing!

    “What do I want Santa to bring me?—I have everything,” she said. “I’m so happy. I don’t need anything. I just want good health, happiness and love.”

    However, her two boys Sean Preston, eight, and Jayden, seven, aren’t thinking like their momma. “They want everything under the sun—iPad Minis, new phones,” Spears said. “They act like they’re 27 years old. You’re eight and seven years old, you can’t have an iPad Mini and a phone! They’re into gadgets right now. They’re into games, computers and all electronic things.”

  • Britney Spears Earns Planet Hollywood $20 Million

    Since Britney Spears began her residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino’s AXIS Theater in Las Vegas back in December 2013, her Britney: Piece of Me show has boosted the property’s earnings by about $20 million. Initially booked for a two-year run at the property, her residency was recently extended all the way through 2017.

    According to the Hollywood Reporter, Planet Hollywood desperately needed that boost, too. They were said to have been facing some pretty serious financial issues prior to the beginning of her residency. Thanks to Britney Spears and her fans who are filling rooms and buying concert tickets, what was once a dismal financial future for the property now actually looks quite profitable.

    A source tells PerezHilton.com that some significant upgrades are underway at the property, thanks to Britney Spears.

    “Wall Street gaming experts say the pop princess has revitalized the property and helped turn its one-time dismal financial picture into a real profit center. [Brit] has been singlehandedly instrumental in helping fill its 2,520 rooms and boosting the profits to nearly $100 million that Caesars is using to modernize the Quad into the new Linq hotel and redecorating and upgrading the rooms and pools at Planet Hollywood.”

    Tickets for Britney Spears’ show cost fans between $60 and $500. The $20 million the property made thus far on her residency is what they cleared after the pop star was paid.

    Do you suppose Britney’s show will remain this popular in the remaining years of her residency? Planet Hollywood is likely taking that notion all the way to the bank.

  • Britney Spears Hangs With Lady Gaga in Las Vegas

    Britney Spears had a very special guest at her Planet Hollywood show in Las Vegas this week. It was none other than Lady Gaga. Britney tweeted the Applause singer and made plans to meet up with her before the show. Can you imagine the music Britney and Gaga could make together if they actually planned a bona fide collaboration? It would have the potential to launch Britney Spears off the Vegas circuit and back on to the hit song and tour realm.

    Britney Spears is in the midst of a two-year residency at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood–and while that’s an honor–it’s her very own show, after all–there’s just something about that “Vegas show” branding that leaves thoughts of Wayne Newton in the back of people’s minds. Now this isn’t intended as a Wayne Newton bash as he has entertained millions throughout his career. When a singer goes to Vegas (unless he or she is a timeless classic like Elton John) it just sounds to some like it’s the end of the road. Britney is way too young to even think of her career being at the end of that proverbial role–but do some fans wonder if she’s settling for exactly that? A collaboration with Lady Gaga would banish any such thoughts.

    You can clearly see how excited Britney Spears was when she learned Lady Gaga was coming to her show at Planet Hollywood on Saturday night.

    Lady Gaga even shared a photo of the two singers together before Britney Spears’ show.

    Can you imagine what a collaboration with Lady Gaga could do for Britney Spears? And beyond that–just imagine the musical treat that would be for both performer’s fans.

  • Britney Spears Meets Up With Lady Gaga In Las Vegas

    It was a day only pop diva fans could dream of – Britney Spears and Lady Gaga in the same room.

    The two pop princesses were together because Lady Gaga went to see Spears on Saturday, February 1, at her two-year Piece of Me residency at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood.

    Of course, being Gaga comes with it’s luxuries. She definitely received VIP status from the Spears camp. Not only did the two pop divas hang out for a bit and have a sweet photo-op, but Spears’ father Jamie even prepared some homemade BBQ for Gaga to nosh on.

    In true 21st century fashion, Lady Gaga tweeted about the events that took place that glorious day when two pop princesses collided.

    When Spears got wind of Lady Gaga’s arrival, she made sure the two spent some time together before showtime.

    Then it was time to cement the moment with a photograph. Because if you don’t take a picture, did it really happen?

    Apparently Jamie knows how to make some great BBQ.

    Spears may have hinted about Lady Gaga’s visit on Twitter Friday.

    Before word got out that the Goddess of Love would actually be attending Spears’ show, the “Perfume” singer sent out a tweet wondering who all would be coming to Saturday night’s show.

    The two have been fans of each other for a while, with Spears saying in an online Q&A in December that she “would do a duet with Lady Gaga. I think that would be a lot of fun. I think she’s very different and interesting and intricate.”

    Once Gaga heard about this, she responded on Twitter saying, “@britneyspears lets do this bitch its time.”

    So can we finally get a duet or something out of these ladies? I mean, Spears has already mentioned she would like to duet with Lady Gaga.

  • Britney Spears Talks Wardrobe Malfunction

    Britney Spears has been a pop icon since the early “…Baby One More Time” days wearing that oh-so-infamous schoolgirl outfit complete with the pigtails. But the diva has moved on to bigger and better experiences now staring in her very own Vegas act at Planet Hollywood. That’s right, you can catch the 32-year-old blonde performing all the hits she’s made famous over the past 15 years in an energetic show called, “Britney: Piece of Me.”

    At the People’s Choice Awards, Yahoo’s “The Insider” caught up with Spears and learned about a little wardrobe malfunction that happened during one of her super sexy Vegas performances.

    As the star started singing, the back of her corset completely opened exposing her bare back. But like the old pro that she is, Spears’ continued on with the show-singing and running seamlessly through her choreography like nothing had happened. One of her backup dancers followed behind the leading lady as he tried his best to fasten the back of her beautiful costume.

    “That’s the attitude you have to have,” she said of the minor wardrobe malfunction. “The dancers were helping me with the back part of my dress. It was really kind of crazy,” she said with a positive attitude.

    While she kept calm on stage and handled the issue with extreme grace it’s clear Spears’ still has that perfectionist attitude towards her music and performances.

    “I’m still going to be nervous [with] the next shows I do.”

  • 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!”
