MTV has *just* announced that it will produce and air a 90 minute documentary on Britney Spears, tentatively titled Britney Spears: For the Record. This new doc will air on MTV on November 30 and will feature our dear Britney reflecting on her last few years of hardship as well as all the progressive strides she has made in the past few amazing months:

Possibly more than anyone on Earth, Britney Spears’ life is constantly documented by the media, which voraciously reports on the singer’s every step and misstep. But what’s it like to be in her shoes? With her new album, Circus, set for release in just a few weeks, the singer is ready to show the world her side of the story. Britney has joined forces with MTV for a 90-minute documentary about her return to the pop-music spotlight. Tentatively titled “For the Record,” the special is set to air on November 30 at 10 p.m. on MTV, two days before Circus is released on December 2 (the singer’s 27th birthday). “So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know,” Spears told MTV News in a statement about the special. “I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.” The documentary combines personal stories with behind-the-scenes footage of her comeback. Cameras follow her to the recording studio, to rehearsals, to press tours, to the video shoot for her latest single, “Womanizer,” and even to her hometown in Louisiana. Backstage footage from her recent triumphant appearance at the Video Music Awards is also featured. Through it all, we hear Britney talking about the hardships that led up to this comeback. “I’ve been through a lot, and there’s a lot people don’t know,” she says in the film. “Sometimes it can get lonely ’cause you don’t open the gate. I’m stuck in this place, and I just cope every day.” Britney also owns up to the mistakes the world has watched her make, and offers some telling insight into how she feels about it all now. “I sit there and I look back,” she says, before asking rhetorically: “I’m a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?”

This sounds pretty freakin’ awesome! Y’all know I can’t wait to see this for myself. After the jump, check out a short preview video of this new documentary …

The official movie trailer for Twilight has leaked, y’all:

Looks good and very true to the books, as far as I can tell. Methinks that Twilight fans are gonna love it.

Leave it to TMZ to sniff out the dirt on the newest “Girls Next Door”. Earlier today we learned that Hugh Hefner confirmed his split with former girlfriend Holly Madison (and soon Kendra Wilkinson) (after Holly broke the news on Tuesday) and also learned that Hef is lookin’ to replace his old girlfriends with a pair of twin sisters. It turns out that the twins, Karissa and Kristina Shannon, were busted at the start of this year for felony aggravated battery in Florida. Here are their very unflattering mug shots:

Turns out Hef’s 19-year-old handpicked twin successors to the throne of Holly, Bridget and Kendra come with a checkered past. Karissa (top) and Kristina Shannon (bottom) — who have recently moved into the Playboy Mansion — were both busted by St. Petersburg, Fla. police for felony aggravated battery back in January. They both received probation and were ordered to pay restitution to the two victims. Karissa also has a misdemeanor battery charge on her record from 2007. Atta girl! Playboy had no comment.

I only have one comment, LOL! It really sounds like these twins were vetted by Hefner about as well as Sarah Palin was by McCain.* Hef sure knows how to pick ‘em, don’t he?

*It’s a joke, y’all … no angry comments please :)

Here is the cover of the new issue of Crash magazine … can you guess who is featured on the cover just by looking at the coverphoto itself:

Crash is a French magazine that has a penchant for styling their celebrity subjects in very interesting ways. Truth be told, I had no idea who this person was before reading her name on the cover. Care to venture a guess? After the jump, find out if you are right …

You may recall that yesterday we saw pics of Jude Law rockin’ a new ’stache as he prepares to take on the role of Watson to Robert Downey, Jr’s Sherlock Holmes in the movie version of Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed character … and today, George Clooney takes the hot’stache look to a whole new level. Here are pics of the newly ’stached Clooney relaxin’ down in Puerto Rico with movie script in lap as he goofed around while sunnin’ himself poolside:

I mean … damn, he looks good. Now, I’ve never been one to lust after George Clooney or anything but I understand that he appeals to a lot of folks out there. In this light, I can see the appeal. It’s not even the ’stache that ups his hotness level for me … I think it’s the overall shirtlessness. This 47-year old man could really give some of those young bucks a run for their money. I’m deffo seeing George Clooney in a whole new light. MMM HMMM.

Zac Efron has been immortalized by Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London, England with a wax effigy in his honor. I must admit, I was pretty shocked by how identical the wax incarnation of Zac looks to Zac himself. Here are a few pics of the wax version of Zac Efron along with a few pics of Zac from a London press conference for High School Musical 3: Senior Year that took place earlier this week … can you tell the difference between the real and wax Zacs?

I mean, if you take into consideration how much foundation Zac Efron wears on his face and compare it to the waxy skin of the statue … it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. I know I’m stymied! The folks at Madam Tussaud’s have outdone themselves yet again. What do y’all think?

It looks like, after a much needed hiatus earlier this year, Britney Spears is back on the going-out-in-public-every-single-day track once again. While in years past, I used to cringe at new photos of Britney out and about, I now look forward to seeing her various trips out in public. At least now we know that she won’t be offering any wardrobe malfunctions … at least, that’s the hope ;) Here are new pics of Britney with a very touchy-feely bodyguard at Diddy Reese’s ice cream/cookie shop in Westwood, CA:

Now I don’t reeeeally think that there’s any hanky panky going on betwixt Britters and this bodyguard but they do look chummy, don’t they? [Insert Whitney Houston singing I Will Always Love You HERE] I’m not really that familiar with bodyguards who hold their charges in such a romantic way. If you didn’t know any better, from the looks of the first pic you might think that she and the guy were on date. In any event, I don’t believe that any of Britney’s vehicles suffered any damage from this latest jaunt (well, no more damage than was already done earlier this week, that is) so I say it’s a win-win situation.
