Here is the official, definitive version of Britney Spears’s new music video for her new single Circus:

This version isn’t that much different from the first version that we got to see yesterday but it is nice to see a much cleaner version in higher quality.

Mariah Carey may’ve gotten the shaft from the Grammy Awards yesterday when it was revealed that she received NO NOMINATIONS but that doesn’t mean her life will grind to a halt as a result. Mimi is about to release a new album of slow jams titled The Ballads and has released a couple of new promo pics for publicity:

With her glossy hair, perfect skin and tiny waist Mariah Carey looks truly sensational in the promotional shots for her new album The Ballads. So sensational in fact that it has led to questions about whether she has had a little help from an airbrush achieving the perfect look. The diva is known for her glamorous image, but in the newest photos she appears even more toned and slim than usual. Mariah has been criticised in the past for her heavily doctored album covers, including The Emancipation of Mimi. When the singer appeared on the front cover of Allure magazine in March it led to widespread discussion of the photo, and whether it had been digitally manipulated. However, despite the criticisms, it cannot be denied that at the age of 38 Mariah is looking better than ever before.

Retouched or not, Mimi looks hawt as hell! She rules, y’all. I think it totally sucks that Mariah got the shaft from the Grammy Awards but she’ll be just fine. She already beat Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most #1 songs (18 to Elvis’s 17) and will, most likely, beat the record set by the Beatles for the most #1’s ever (she only needs 3 more #1 songs to set the new record). It won’t be long before folks begin to sing her praises again.

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine was lookin’ all kinds of unshaven and scruffy as he enjoyed lunch with a friend at the Mustard Seed Cafe in Los Feliz, CA yesterday afternoon. After he finished his meal, Adam did his best Arthur Fonzie Fonzarelli (aka The Fonz) impersonation as he sped off on his motorcycle:

I gotta say … me likey. Adam Levine is a sexy beast no matter what he’s wearing but this 1950’s greaser vibe he’s got goin’ on really works for him. In need of a haircut – check. In need of a shave — check. Looks sexy as hell — check. Oh yes, I am totally on board with this look … how about y’all?

Here are a few really cute pics of Britney Spears and her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (along with mama Lynne Spears and various members of her security detail) doing a bit of pre-Xmas toy shopping at FAO Schwartz in NYC yesterday. Even tho Britney is scheduled to appear in some fashion on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week(end?) and has been all but confirmed to appear at the Xmas tree lighting at the LA Live! complex in downtown LA tonight, she managed to find the time to spend a bit more time in Manhattan yesterday afternoon before bidding farewell to the Big Apple:

Late yesterday evening the music video for her new single Circus leaked onto the Internets days before it was to make its world premiere on Entertainment Tonight. As a result, ET has announced that a Director’s Cut version of the video will be premiering on their show TONIGHT in HD one day earlier than was originally planned. I can’t wait to see how much better that vid is than the one we’ve already been able to see. After the jump, check out a small portion of the seating chart for The Circus starring Britney Spears Tour that kicks off next year to see how the VIP seating will be handled and to get a peek at what the 3-Ring Circus stageplan will look like …

It’s been a few weeks since we got word that Marilyn Manson and his much younger girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood had broken-up but it looks like MM has already found himself a girlfriend replacement. Manson was spotted out and about in Miami, FL last night with a new ERW look-alike on his arm:

As I suspected, it didn’t take long for Marilyn Manson to find a willing lady to take Evan Rachel Wood’s place on his arm. I mean … this chick looks the part. I’m sure she and he will be happily together for a long time … or, you know, until he throws her to the curb, too. Additionally (and kinda randomly), there have been odd reports going around that Ne-Yo has been talking about a musical collaboration with Marilyn Manson. When asked by MTVNews if such a collabo was in the works, MM denied any knowledge of any such thing:

A couple of weeks ago, MTV News caught up with R&B hitmaker Ne-Yo on the red carpet at the American Music Awards, and he said something rather interesting — and kind of shocking. When asked what he’s been up to — in the wake of the September release of his latest LP, Year of the Gentleman — he told us he’s got a lot on his plate. Ne-Yo explained that he’s been writing for several artists and has a few collaborations in the works. He said he was excited to work with the likes of Mary J. Blige, Ciara, Michael Bolton, Mario, Monica, Leona Lewis and Lionel Richie. And then he mentioned his upcoming musical venture with none other than Marilyn Manson, the shock-rocking controversy magnet. When pressed for details, Ne-Yo remained uncharacteristically mum. “I have no idea what it’s going to be, because we haven’t started yet,” he told MTV News. “But I’m looking forward to just sitting in a room with him, picking his brain and figuring something out. I have no idea what its going to be yet.” It wasn’t the first time Ne-Yo spilled the beans about his collaboration with Manson. A quick Google search turns up many interviews where Ne-Yo has discussed working with Manson, an artist he named more than a year ago when asked which artists he’d like to team up with. “I’ve wanted to work with him for ages and his people reached out to me when they heard,” Ne-Yo told the U.K.’s Daily Star. “People might think it’s a strange collaboration, [but] I don’t.” Well, perhaps it would have been too strange a collaboration after all. When contacted by MTV News this week, a spokesperson for Manson said the singer, who is finishing work on the follow-up to 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me, has not spoken to Ne-Yo or his representatives about the idea, and that he has no immediate plans to work with Ne-Yo. Reps for Ne-Yo had not responded to MTV News’ requests for comment at press time.

It’s odd enough that so many women are dying to hook-up with Marilyn Manson but when you add Ne-Yo into the mix … well … I’m not sure what to say about that. I love that Ne-Yo is so open to working with other artists and I can’t even imagine what a collabo between these two guys would be like … but I’m totally open to hearing it should it ever come to be. Ne-Yo sounds DEFFO interested … mebbe Manson can be cajoled into the collaboration? Stranger things have happened. Oh wait, no they haven’t … but still, hope springs eternal. Would YOU like to hear a collabo between Ne-Yo and Marilyn Manson?

So, I am home once again in the land of sun and surf after my quick sojourn to the East Coast to spend Thanksgiving with David’s family and a few extra days in NYC. Altho I was only gone for a week, it feels like I have been away longer. Even tho I had a blast on the East side, it’s nice to be home to enjoy the warmer weather.

Darion tells me that there is a soiree tonight to celebrate the release of Britney Spears’s new album Circus which I may be up for attending … tho, at this point I’m really looking forward to doing a whole lotta nothing as much as I can ;) David and I booked our trip to Iceland for New Year’s Eve and I still have a trip to Vegas coming up to see Nine Inch Nails … then Xmas in Detroit after … there’s a lot on the horizon so I’m gonna try and keep life here in SoCal as boring as possible.
