Britney will appear on France’s top-rated Star Academy, the Gallic version of American Idol. Lord knows she won’t be competing, y’all, please! She’ll make a celebrity performance appearance and Brit’s French fans are EXCITED!!!! Check out the promo for the November 28 show — Brit will spend Thanksgiving eating fromage and drinking vin rouge! …
While she was on stage with Maddona, Britney Spears was announced the winner of 2 awards at the 2008 European Music Awards. Britney picked up Album Of The Year & Act Of 2008 which, in addition to the 3 VMAs, amount to a total of 5 major awards for Brit’s Blackout album. Congrats!

What seems yesterday as another wild dream of a crazy blogger turned into reality as Britney Spears joined Maddona on stage tonight at the opening of her US tour in Los Angeles. Britney joined Maddona for the song “Die Another Day” and “Gimme More”. Here is a glimpse of what it looked like.
Note: This looks like a cell phone recording and is in a very low quality. Hopefully better ones will be up by the morning.
Update: It gets even better:

Britney Spears’ timing is good these days. The stage she’ll take tonight with Madonna semi-collapsed yesterday.Britney and Justin Timberlake will perform with Madge at Dodger Stadium this evening, at least that’s what Ryan Seacrest said on KIIS…
Jayden and Sean spend the day as matching bumblebees with daddy K-Fed, but Friday night it was all trick or treat with Grandpa Jamie, Britney and her friends. The boys looked adorable as they gathered candy, and even shared it with mom, who looked to be having the time of her life! I can’t get over seeing the pictures of the Britney and the kids now, after all the hell she’s gone through over the past year!
While the boys were being adorable, Team Britney announced that Wade Robson has signed up to choreograph part of and direct all of Britney’s TOUR! Right now it’s slated as a US tour with a couple of UK dates, but Wade said that he’s “99% sure it’s going to become a world tour.”
Wonder what I gotta do to get them to put in a couple of Alaskan dates, huh?
Meanwhile, Womanizer has climbed to number three on the UK Itunes charts - ranking number one in Ireland (We Irish have good taste, I’m telling ya!)
Of course, there’s always got to be something that doesn’t go quite as planned, right? A couple of days ago, Britney had a minor car accident -very minor, and amusing enough to the pop star to be heard saying “I’m a brainiac!” when she bumped the other vehicle. The incident occured as Birtney swung into a parking space on her way into Great Earth Vitamins, and hit a parked car on the rear bumper/light area. Then, as she got out to check the car’s damage? She swung her door too wide, and hit the other car.
All seems to be ok, though, as nothing more has come of it all, and Britney is still in good spirits - and why shouldn’t she be, when even Simon Cowell is saying good things about her new album!
Simon Cowell, who will soon be welcoming Britney Spears on X Factor for a special performance wasn’t his usual heavily critical self when he spoke about Britney recently. According to the official Britney Spears website, Simon was actually quite enthused about the upcoming event:
News of the World is reporting that X Factor judge Simon Cowell has nothing but nice things to say about Brit in the wake of her X Factor performance this month. The article reports the always candid Simon as saying: “I’m really excited about it, because she’s got her act together now and the new record’s terrific. She’s come back from a very dark place and is a great artist”.
I’m so used to hearing Simon tear contestants a new one when they perform on American Idol that it’s always a pleasant surprise when I hear him say something really positive.
And of course (as usual, I must admit), Simon’s completely right. Britney was in a bad place not so long ago, but in an amazingly short amount of time she’s come back so far and is doing so well that she will just keep going up and up.
In other news, there are pictures up at Britney’s site where you can see that she dressed up as a very cute witch for Halloween this year while spending some festive fun time with her sons - both of whom looked incredibly adorable.

Britney Spears’ father Jamie was granted permanent conservatorship of Britney’s affairs earlier this week. Initially he had been granted control on a temporary basis after her second hospitalization in January and it was set to expire on December 31st.
After consulting Britney’s mental health records, her attorney stated that she did not have any objection to having it extended permanently. According to Us Weekly:
“The court finds the proposed permanent conservatorship is necessary and appropriate [because of the] complexities of her financial and business entities and also potential for her being susceptible to influences,” said Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz.
On the one hand it’s so hard for me to imagine a grown woman letting her father control so much of her life, but on the other it seems like it’s been working. Before he took over, Britney was spinning out of control. When he stepped in, things calmed down for her, she got the help she needed, and she began getting better again. Now she has her sons back in her life, won a bunch of VMA awards, has a number one song, a killer video, an album coming out, and a world tour to put together.
Clearly Britney’s life has improved drastically since her father took charge and he seems to have her absolute best interests in mind (unlike some other stage parents out there). It seems like this is the best solution for everyone.
What do you think?

First we put Britney and Christina’s promo pix face-to-face, then their Halloween costumes from last year… and now? 
It’s Paris Vs. Lindsay! Now, we know these two haven’t always seen eye-to-eye. Between fighting over Stavros and those nasty comments by Brandon Davis, it always feels like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are at war. But let’s put all that aside for a moment and decide what’s really important: Who worked their Halloween costume better - Paris in ‘05 or Lindsay in ‘06? And because we have sooooo many awesome pix of Paris in costume, we’ve put together a gallery below. Check it out!! I think they both look hot - I just like LiLo’s a little bit better!
