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.

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

BRB
Here are some mysteries of life for you to wonder upon whilst I am away...
If a tree falls in a wood, and there is no-one around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Wowza!
And here, courtesy of Britney fansite WorldofBritney, is the first look at the BritBrit's photoshoot with Elle magazine's December issue! Britney's done far too little photo-shoots during this campaign, it almost seems strange to see photos of her that aren't from that Mark Liddell shoot which has been used for practically everything except the album artwork!
She looks amazing, I'd like to think Photoshop didn't have TOO much of a hand in it but either way it's still a stunning image of her!
REPEAT UPDATE: The image is fake! CARRY ON ABOUT YOUR DAILY BUSINESS.

Oh please...
Media regulator and personal therapist to the ever whining nation Ofcom have reportedly received a number of complaints following Cheryl Cole and Whitney Housten's performances on Sunday's X Factor results show.
Apparently, 32 people (shit! do some damage control Simon -hah!) put the effort in and picked up the dog and bone (phone, people, that'll be a phone - Cockney rhyming slang guv'ner!) to complain that the pairs performance's (which were billed as live) were in fact mimed. Or shit(which they were not)

R.I.P to Lady Gaga's video dog
:(
Sad stuff! One of the things that became a staple of Lady GaGa's often brilliantly erratic music videos was the inclusion of two Great Dane's who made their 'acting debut' in the 'Poker Face' video and subsequently went on to star in both the 'LoveGame' and 'Paparazzi' promos. However anyone hoping for them both to turn up in the video for upcoming single 'Bad Romance' are going to be unfortunately dissapointed as one of the poor dogs was found dead earlier this month!
The five year old Great Dane Rumpus (right in the photo apparently)was discovered after a hike in Los Angeles with his owner Suzzane Kelleher-Duckett who said he had been in 'perfect health' and that there were 'no signs of injury' An autopsy has been performed and results are expected soon!
Rumpus' mother Lava will still appear in the Bad Romance video clip

A Few Details of Britney's '3' video shoot
Of Britney on the set he said: 'She exhibited amazing energy and was in great shape - her body looked better than it has in years - she munched on sushi instead of junk food.'
And apparently it was a blue moon that night! 'She even sang live with the words. She worked really hard and was really sweet to all the dancers.'
We want this video!
Rihanna's 'Russian Roulette' (that's alliteration that is)
The song ,'Russian Roulette', is a slow, haunting ballad, the opposite to what most were expecting (a clubtastic poptastic dancetastic tastictastic tasticfest) and is decent enough Rihanna material but it just doesn't feel like 'lead single from important follow-up album' material to us.
The song is lyrically everything you'd expect from a song with such a title ('pull the trigger 'and 'take the gun' being two notable examples) but sonically is very different, bringing together funny little pained Rihanna breathy sounds, gunshots and revolver wheel sound effects as well as a head bopping rock drumloop.
Props to Princess RiRi for serving us something different, but we can't shake the slight feeling of mild dissapointment. We think it's a grower. Check it out yourself, what do you think?

So...when's the 3 music video out?
*twiddles thumbs*
Okay, it's no secret that '3' has performed very nicely for Britney Jean in the past week, garnering her a third shiny number one. However, as the song has so far performed excellently on just word of mouth, radio play and a slightly dodgy single cover, it's high time that the 'B team' break out the big guns in the form of the music video!
A lot of fans thought that today was the date of the premiere due to a press release which has reportedly been confirmed as a fake, leading to ever chirpy Britney informant 'Brittanica' posting the following...
'LOL @ fans telling me to 'WAKE UP BITCH!' I'm up. :) The '3' video premiere date has not been announced, FYI! xx'
Kay 'Tannica but hurry up! The song needs promo to keep it at the top and we all know this is all we're getting!
///A very good song by the Tisdizzle...///
The track is about the current trend of car crash celebrity and 2007 style Britney tabloid shenanigans (PLEASE never let me use that word again!) and Ashley scrutinizes how *insert female celebrity here* is 'parked in the driveway, parked sideways','waking up in her bra and her makeup' and generally acting a little bit like a Hot Mess funnily enough. MAKE IT A SINGLE MR RECORD COMPANY MAN!
Listen to the track! And check the sidebar on the proper YouTube link if you REALLY love it ;)
ATis's album 'Guilty Pleasure' is out now folks!

And then there was this...
Whilst Whitney certainly doesn't deserve the 'oh she's back on crack' comments that have begun to surface following this performance, we have to admit that in between her dress starting to fall off, then carrying it around with her for three quarters of the song and her constant reliance on her rather large posse of background singers, Whitney came off slightly less than a million dollars. 55p and a Toffee crisp perhaps - I jest! She can still hit some of those big notes for sure and she looked gorgeous!

Cheryl fight fight fight fights off the hataz
Defying many moaning critics who were predictably predicting a hypocritical three minute mime-a-thon from the X Factor judge, Cheryl absolutely ROCKED the X Factor studio this evening (or to be more precise, when ever it was that they recorded the performance - it was filmed hours before it was shown!)
Wearing her customised red military jacket and accompanying pilot style hat and backed by a mahoosive crowd of backing dancers, I'd say Cheryl proved all the 'hataz' wrong in this case. Well played Ms. Cole, enjoy your millenia long stint at number one!
Check out her performance!

Snippet of Britney's 3 remix b-side!
It will be featured as the b-side to '3' on the deluxe box set version of Britney's Singles Collection and will therefore be included on both the digital and physical singles when they are eventually released later in the month!
And here is a clip of what you can expect from the remix courtesy of Mike Rizzo's website! Sounds pretty hot! This surely must be a hard track to remix!
Britney's '3' scaling the Mediabase chart!
The track has leapt from the mid twenties to being at number 17 on US radio spin tracking chart Mediabase in the past few days following the song hitting number 1 and the song is maintaining it's position at the pinnacle of the iTunes overall Top Songs chart.
The song is said to currently be only 60 spins away from skipping straight to the 13 position so with the song steadily rising on the radio -which factors into a songs overall chart position on American charts- and Britney still managing to fend off competition from acts like Miley Cyrus, not to mention next weeks (hopeful) video release, could B see herself in command of the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week!?
We hope so!

Madonna hates hearing 'Like A Virgin' apparently *fanbase implodes*
She has made her distaste for some of her songs clear in her recent 'Rolling Stone' interview where she referred to some of her classic hits such as 'Cherish' and even modern fan favourites like 2005's 'Sorry' as 'retarded' but according to recent reports it's one of her best known tracks 'Like a Virgin' that she is really tired of hearing! Of her relationship with the song she has allegedly said:
'Not to toot my own horn but they always play my old stuff when I'm in a shop or wherever. They are usually songs I am really sick of though, and I have to say, 'Oh, please turn this off'.For some reason people think that when you go to a restaurant or you are going shopping that you want to hear one of your own songs. It's usually 'Like A Virgin' - and that is the one I don't want to hear.'
Fair enough, having one song following you around for so long must be a bit irritating but MORE TO THE POINT can anyone picture Madonna saying the words 'toot my own horn'!? Grain of salt people, massive grain of salt.
But if it is true, don't forget your roots Madge! They're the songs that got you where you are today!

Don't Call My Name, Don't Call My name...Lady Gaga
A week or two a go a snippet of an unknown Lady Gaga song titled 'Don't Call My Name' was leaked out into the blogosphere which has now confirmed to be a track called 'Alejandro' which has leaked in full from the upcoming 'The Fame Monster' re-release of her debut album.
The track is a move away from the cheap and slightly samely production of some of the original 'The Fame's tracks (I'm looking at you 'Money Honey', you too 'I Like It Rough') and blends in some crunchy Eastern European sounding synths and takes a VERY welcome break from the incessent lyrical styling of the original album (Usually akin to 'I LOVE MONEY I LOVE FAME BOYS BOYS BOYS DISCO STICK') to tell the tale of a relationship gone sour.
This track is exactly the progression I wanted Gagz to move towards, more serious yet still keeping the fun quirky styling that she has lended herself so well too. This Lady keeps getting better (speaking of, what's Christina up to?)
Check out the awsomeness below!

Sugababes 4.0 = Officially Quite Good
It's been a little under a month since last remaining original band member Keisha Buchanan was unceremoniously booted out of the band due to mysterious inter-band drama and replaced in a manner that seems to have comprised of this years UK Eurovision entry and fledgling popstar Jade Ewen being poached from her home (and record label!), bunged into a white van, and flown to America to shoot the video for the 'About A Girl', the second release from the band's upcoming seventh studio album 'Sweet Seven' [/dramatisation]
Despite the seemingly chaotic timing for the group shake-up and backlash following Keisha's booting, you have to give the 'Babez -and Jade in particular- major props for effortlessly pulling off (minus a few Jade/Amelle chorus mouthing continuity errors) such a slick and stylish video.
Because the record label are just wanting to piss me right off, embedding has been disabled by request on all of the videos so clickity click the link below to see Heidi, Amelle and Jade (and Jade's legs!) in action!

Leona, who was attacked (punched or slapped is what's going around) whilst signing copies of her new autobiography 'Dreams' in UK book retailer Waterstones yesterday by a man currently in custody and known as Peter, is said to be distraught and recovering from the incident which has been said to have left her 'understandibly shaken'.
Her upcoming European promo tour has been reportedly thrown into jeopardy following the assault, including a trip to Germany later in the week. More as we get it. We wish you well Leona!

Boyle gets buff
According to an 'exclusive source' for 'The Sun' (wait! come back!) Susan has; '" been pretty stressed out by the whole worldwide fame thing and needed something to get her head straight, She was taken to a boxing gym and loved it. She put on the gloves and the boots and did some working out on a punch bag. She is a boxing fan but had never tried it before."
Lovely.

Britney Roundup!
Geez you wait a week for any Britney related news to slip through Jive's massive cracks *ahem* and then it all comes at once, while your sleeping at that!
OKAY so first things first...
Britney is OFFICIALLY number one on the US Billboard chart this week with '3'. As previously reported here, the track sold over 255,000 copies of the song in the US this week, giving BritBrit her third number one in the US! About time she got some too, considering her only others were '...Hit Me Baby' and 'Womanizer'!
Britney celebrated with the following tweets:
I want to thank my fans for making ‘3’ the # 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100. I am truly blessed with the greatest fans in the world.'
and...
I am so happy y’all love it because I do this all for you. I can’t wait till you see the video! -Britney
Oh and thirdly...
Leona Lewis gets slapped...or is it punched?...or maybe both!?
Yesterday, at a Waterstones book signing for her new autobiography 'Dreams', Leona Lewis got 'Happy' (sorry!) slapped by a random 'fan' (or as some tabloids would have you beleive, got viciously punched in the head by a 'thug' and rushed for emergancy work at Harley Street)
Leona's spokesman has claimed that the X Factor 2007 champion had been signing autographed copies of her book for around 90 minutes when 'a guy came up and punched her to the side of the head'
So punched then?
Above is a amateur footage taken of the aftermath, Leona being shuffled out by security as other members pounce on the twattish attacker.

It's Susan Bitch
Coming second on Britain's Got Talent this year obviously hasn't done Susan Boyle too much harm!
Her debut album 'I Dreamed A Dream' (dreamt surely!? Grammar fail?) is gearing up to be released on November 24th and has already rocketed up the Amazon Best-seller lists on both sides of the pond on pre-release sales alone! Simon will be laughing all the way to the bank! Susan will probably do something like the above photo, possibly with her trademark 'thigh flash'
The tracklisting and album cover have been recently unveiled, revealing a plucked and generally 'tidied up' Suzie...
'Wild Horses'
'I Dreamed A Dream'
'Cry Me A River'
'How Great Thou Art'
'You'll See'
'Daydream Believer'
'Up To The Mountain'
'Amazing Grace'
'Who I Was Born To Be'
'Proud'
'The End of The World'
'Silent Night'
You go SuBo!
Britney's Singles Collection CD/DVD cover released!
In the overall Jive/Britney art scheme scale it doesn't rank as a full 'Blackout' turdfest but it's certainly no 'Britney'!
Hmm. Still rather own 'My Prerogative: Greatest Hits' than this to be honest!
Beyone re-releases 'I Am Sasha Fierce' with new cover art + bonus track!
Now, although a 'platinum edition' re-release of Beyawnsay's third studio album 'I Am...Sasha Fierce' has been released/scheduled for release, this edition -so far- has only been available for Australian fans. So to give her non-Aussie fans the re-release treatment, she is putting out a DIFFERENT version of the CD.
The album contains a full-color photograph of the previously only black and white original cover and will come with only one bonus track, the already leaked 'Poison' Why not just release the platinum edition here!?
The album will reportedly be released on November 10th, here's the tracklisting:
