Britney hits the shops

The Circus is about to up and leave town for good in the next few days and Britney's making the most of her time Down Under by hitting the Aussie shops for a spot of retail therapy.

Britster evidentally had some change in her pocket, splashing out a reported 4618.45 dollars in just 45 minutes. Now for the creeper details! Britney reportedly bought clothes for her sons from the Jack and Milly clothing line as well as coats, cardigans, jeans and a 'party frock' for herself from lines such as DKNY, Cacheral, Armani and Camila and Mark. How they know this I do not know.

Her appearance at the Melbourne shopping strip provoked a mass word-of-mouth passing through Twitter and around 300 fans reportedly turned up to see her flashing the clash.

Bad news for anyone hoping for a Beyonce ft.Camilla record

Camilla Parker Bowles (took a lot for me not to write bowels there) has spoken out against the 'glamorisation' of violence and sex in hip-hop videos, citing Beyonce's 'Video Phone' promo as a 'terrifying' example. Speaking of 'Yonce's latest offering (three and a half minutes of toy-gun-toting, hair flicking, Gaga-awkard-colloborational delight) and other videos within the genre the Dutchess said;

'I am sure they trigger a response within some of the young people, I can never understand how they get away with making those things.'

The Dutchess went on to discuss how today's teachers are 'too kind' on todays youth and how a 'breakdown in discipline' had taken it's effect on the nation.

I have to say I do agree slightly, when I saw 'Video Phone' I immediately wondered why Beyonce and Gaga where waving and pointing toy guns and the like around, it's not adding anything to the song or the video. And let's not forget the 'she's a rolemodel' argument which was rolled out again. What do you think!?

Britney's Single Collection booklet!

Here are some actually quite amazing scans/images from the booklet of Britney's Single Collection, due for release next week! The booklet for the standard edition contains images from each of the included tracks music videos, accompanied by facts and statistics and what appears to be a section of the lyrics. Quite good indeed. What I would have really loved is a mini comment from Britney about each track. Would've been a nice touch eh? MAKE ME A JIVE EXEC.

Timbaland single cover mega-post

Mega is a slight exaggeration. The use of the word slight here is also an exaggeration. BUT HERE ARE TWO NEW TIMBALAND SINGLE COVERS ANYWAY.

The first is for 'Carry Out' featuring Justin Timberlake, just in case you hadn't seen that. It is appoximately a 4 on the bore-o-meter, with 1 being the most boring.

The second is for 'Say Something' featuring Drake, also just in case you couldn't see that. Timbaland has nicked Keri Hilson's font! Approx. 7/10 on the bore-0-meter. It wins points for the minty background.

Nice.

Chris Brown is a crawler...

...but here's something you may not already know, Brown recently shot the video for upcoming single 'Crawl' in the desert. Where he belongs (jokez! -sorta)

In these recently released shots, a dressed up Brown (going for the sensitive yet intelligent look with the glasses and overcoat. Either that or someones angling to be the 12th Doctor Who) appears to be screaming/singing in a suitably head tilty Danyl-from-X-Factor style and serenading a model-type in a dark alley (the joke writes itself!)

Is it me or is that model-type Cassie of 'Me&U' fame? Where's 'Electro Love'!?

Fancy Gaga's Lips?

Don't lie, you know you do. And now you can get them! (Sorta!)

Miss Germanotta is teaming up with cosmetics brand MAC to bring out her own lipstick, the aptly titled Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick. The stick of lip will cost approximately $14 (about 8 quid) but for those naysayers preparing their 'she's selling out' whines perfectly reasoned arguments, 100% of the profits will be going to the MAC AIDS fund when the line -also featuring the Cyndi Lauper endorsed Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick - is unveiled in February.

Is this going to be crazy black small lips a la 'Paparazzi'? We hope!

Britney's 3 CD single a no-show in the UK

Are you a UK Britney fan? Want to pick up a copy of her latest single '3' on physical CD single? (ask your grandparents young' un's...sad social commentary that) Well unfortunately, you won't be getting it this week on its scheduled release date as apparently the shipments haven't turned up!

According to fans looking to snap up a copy of the CD, bemused staff in UK music retailer HMV said that they were expecting the CD shipment to arrive to their stores for sale today but it never arrived! The song has yet to arrive on UK iTunes yet either, and as the video has yet to premiere on UK TV, we aren't expecting the song to be available any time soon! The staff however have said that if they receive the shipment it will go on sale next week or the week following.

Someone needs to get that video on the TV fast! The song is currently sitting on the B-List on Radio 1 (this is a good thing)

New Gaga! 'Filthy Pop' leaks

The GaGa train is heading full speed towards the 'Fame Monster' re-release later this month, but a track not destined for the album leaked onto the interwebs recently, entitled 'Filthy Pop'

The song is an interesting little ditty, quite 80's in a way and easily beats some of the original The Fame tracks in my opinion! Check it out below, its tagged for the moment but I will seek out an untagged version if I can!

Kanye Plots Album No#5

'Plots' makes this seem like a great evil to be unleashed onto the world, maybe this is appropriate given the bad press Mr. West has been receiving in recent months. Numerous 'insider artists' are coming out of the musical woodwork (?) to drop a few hints about what to expect from the follow-up to 2008's quite-good-but-not-that-brilliant-really '808's and Heartbreaks'

Constantly up-and-coming artist/group-whose-other-members-are-kept-locked-in-the-basement Mr.Hudson revealed that Kanye will be returning to rapping following the autotuned singing overload that '808's offered us -the joy!

Fans of Kanye's voice (besides the man himself) will be also pleased to know that West has been '" taking a bit of time away from the limelight' but 'has all these ideas he has for songs" says somebody called A-Trak who has reprtedly colloborated with Kanye.

I bought and enjoyed about two thirds of '808's however it didn't have that longevity it needed to be a classic album. Could this be good? He could certainly do with some good press right about now...
