Britney Spears To Appear On ‘Rolling Stone’ Magazine

Also, 'Womanizer' gets official artwork
Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Britney Spears sneaked her way into the Quixote Studios here in SoCal earlier this week to do a new photoshoot for Rolling Stone magazine. She’s gonna be on the cover, y’all! To be honest, I’ve already lost count as to how many times she’s been on the cover previously but one can never have too many Rolling Stone covers under their belt, I think :) Here is a purposely blurry pic of Britney on the set of the RS photoshoot this week courtesy of BritneySpears.com:


[T]his is a shot from inside the [Rolling Stone] shoot! We can’t show you the sets and the outfits because they have been deemed TOP SECRET! It was a super fun shoot and Brit was dancing around the set having a great time. :) More details coming soon!

Love it! I understand that many magazines are scrambling to try and book Brit Brit for their covers as well. With a new album on the horizon and continuing interest to hear from Britney herself, I can understand how magazines might be fighting for the right to get interviews with our dear Britney. This is just great news … and right on par with pulling off an entirely successful comeback. Thank the gods for her manager Larry Rudolph. You can tell that he is, once again, making the right calls to ensure that her career gets and stays solidly on track.

Additionally, there appears to be new official artwork for Britney Spears’s new single Womanizer. After the jump, check it out …

Britney Spears’s ‘Womanizer’ Rockets To #1

Sets a new record in the process
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Despite the fact that Britney Spears’s new single Womanizer was accidentally removed from the iTunes online music store for a 24 hour period (and has since reappeared on the site), the single still made a record-breaking leap to the #1 spot on the Billboard magazine Hot 100 singles chart to become the #1 song in the country:


Another week, another record-breaking jump to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Britney Spears makes a near-maximum 96-1 rise with “Womanizer,” returning to the top of the list for the first time since her debut single “…Baby One More Time” hit No. 1 in January 1999. This is the third time in the past two months that the mark for the biggest jump to No. 1 has been shattered. On the Hot 100 dated Sept. 6, T.I. soared 71-1 with “Whatever You Like” and last week he sprinted 80-1 with “Live Your Life.” Spears’ single is spurred by first-week download sales of 286,000, the biggest opening-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003, besting Mariah Carey’s take for “Touch My Body” by just over 200 units. In between her nearly 10-year gap between No. 1s, Spears has placed four other top 10s on the Hot 100, the last being “Gimme More,” the first single from her last set, “Blackout.” That song jumped 68-3 last October with first-week download sales of 179,000. “Womanizer” previews Spears’ sixth studio set “Circus,” due Dec. 2 via Jive.

Sooo … according to Billboard magazine, Womanizer becomes Britney’s second #1 song on the Hot 100 chart?! I guess I never really paid attention to her chart success considering all of the amazing singles she has put out over the years. I am pretty geeked that Britney’s song made a record-breaking jump from the #96 position to the #1 position — especially when you consider the song charted even before it was available for sale and managed to make its mark based solely on radio play. I think it’s quite clear that Britney’s comeback is in full swing with this news … now the question becomes, to what heights will Britney continue to soar as she continues to release new material?

Who’s That Guy In The ‘Womanizer’ Video?

Boy, don't try to front ... I - I know just, just what you are, are, are
Saturday, October 11th, 2008

Last night, Britney Spears’s new music video for Womanizer debuted to much fanfare and has been greeted with high praise from pretty much everyone who has seen it. Many folks (including myself) have been taken by the insanely hawt dude that is featured as the “womanizer” in the video … which led to a little investigation …


… his name is Brandon Stoughton and he is a model represented by the LA Models agency. He has been featured in campaigns for Calvin Klein and was even photographed by my friends Steph & Alek for their blog OhLaLaMag.com. Here are a few of Brandon’s hot pics:


Wooooot! He is really one hot dude, yes? I wouldn’t mind seeing more of him, that’s for sure ;) And since we’re on the subject of his hawt performance in Britney’s new music video, why don’t we take another look at Womanizer. After the jump, check out the video in full …

Britney Spears, ‘Womanizer’ Is #1 On iTunes

Oh womanizer, Oh you're a womanizer, Baby
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Woot! After one day of availability on iTunes, Britney Spears’s new single Womanizer has already rocketed to the #1 position on the Top Songs chart. While Brit Brit’s legion of fans did their part to download the track yesterday, it’s clear that many folks had a hand in helping make Womanizer the top downloaded track in iTunes right now — holla! Here is a pic of Britney making her way into the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, CA yesterday afternoon:


I understand that Britters, in addition to lunching at the Chateau, spent part of Womanizer Download Day gettin’ her hair did at her favorite hair salon. You may recall that last year Britney’s song Gimme More also made its way to the #1 position on the iTunes Top Songs chart but it took her a little bit longer to reach the top. Womanizer was #2 for much of the day yesterday but by late last night, it surpassed T.I.’s song Life Your Life to take the top position. Well done! So far, Britney’s comeback is right on schedule … next up, the music video. Don’t forget, the Womanizer music video will be debuting on ABC’s 20/20 this Friday night. I expect that it will be available for download on iTunes shortly thereafter. Will Britney reach the #1 position on the Top Music Videos chart? I guess we’ll have to wait and see ;)

Tuesday, October 7th, 2008

Britney Spears’s new single Womanizer (the first from her new album Circus) is now officially available for download on iTunes RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. To celebrate, Britney.com has been updated with a few photos that were snapped on the set of the Womanizer video that is set to world premiere this Friday night on ABC’s 20/20 … behold:


From BRITannica, the Britney.com webmistress: It’s true, it’s true!!! The music vid for “Womanizer” will indeed premiere worldwide THIS Friday, Oct. 10 on ABC’s 20/20 at 10pm ET. Remember last year when the “Piece of Me” video first aired on the show, too? Ah, memories. Anyway, get psyched, ’cause we’ve got *EXCLUSIVE* “Womanizer” photos … Which Brit look is your fave — the blonde sex kitten, the sassy secretary or the vampy waitress? I’m kinda partial to her sex kitten look. I just love me some blonde Britney. But then again, her sexy secretary glasses are hot (got a similar pair, myself!), and I do have a thing for tattoos a la the vampy waitress. This one’s a toughie, lovies…

Shoot, I love me some Britney in whatever incarnation she appears. I’m fairly certain that this song will go straight to #1 much like Gimme More did when it was first released on iTunes about a year ago. Support the comeback, y’all … download your copy NOW :)
