Spears a good role model for troubled Lohan




Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears. The two seem as inseparable as … well, actually, even though they seem like they should be pop culture BFFs, they reportedly aren’t sipping pastel-hued cocktails together anymore. Back in March, Spears’ dad Jamie put the kibosh on any continued friendship when Lohan reached out to ask Spears for career advice. (Insert your own smart-alecky retort here.)

The fact that Spears’ dad ordered her to stay away from one of her pals even though she is 28 suggests the parental instinct to protect children from impending disasters never really diminishes despite the passage of time, and in many cases intensifies. Of course, he is the conservator of her affairs as well, so he is vigilant about constructing business as well as personal barriers to his daughter.

Britney Spears to come out with her ninth fragrance

Popstar Britney Spears is all set to come out with her ninth signature fragrance titled Radiance, just two months after launching its predecessor.

The perfume will come in a faux rhinestone-encrusted blue and pink bottle.

The fragrance is made with tuberose, jasmine, orange flower, wild berries and iris, Contactmusic reported.

The 28-year-old singer described it as being "very feminine".

The Toxic hitmaker's previous perfumes, which include Fantasy and Curious, have all been successful and she is hoping for the same with this one.

Britney also came out with her first fashion line for American label Candie's recently and the singer says she only wanted to design clothes she would wear herself.

Britney Spears : Spears doesn't want kids in showbiz



Britney Spears has revealed she doesn't want her children to follow in her showbiz footsteps.

The pop superstar wants her two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline - four-year-old Sean Preston and three-year-old Jayden James - to avoid the downsides of fame that she has had to deal with since becoming a celebrity in her teens.

"If my sons told me they wanted to be in the entertainment business, I'd lock them in their rooms until they turned 30," she told US Cosmopolitan.

She added: "[The attention] is something I always knew would come with the job I chose."

The 28-year-old also admitted she's not looking forward to discussing the birds and the bees with them.

"I'm dreading the moment when my sons ask me how babies are made," she said.

Britney has been enjoying life with her boys, who have finished pre-school.

"Things are pretty quiet right now. I've been spending a lot of time at home with my boys. They just started karate class, which is super cute!"

Glee WILL Have A Britney Spears Episode




At the moment we have a big hole in our TV schedule that desperately wants to be filled by the next series of hit US show, Glee.

But while we wait (impatiently) for the show to return, we can be soothed for a little while with the news that Glee will have a Britney Spears episode.

According to Heatworld, creator Ryan Murphy said: “We are writing a Britney Spears episode.”

However, it is not known whether Britters herself will appear on the show or whether Lea Michele and co will sing Britney's greatest hits.
We wonder what Matthew Morrison will think as in the past the actor who plays Mr Schu has made it clear that he's not happy about a Britney episode...
