boooyaaaah :wow::wow:

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

doesnt look like a good comeback.

Whaaaat? :huh::huh:

That concert's amazing.

[Catman]

Although she has improved from her bald crazy chick days, she is still far away from her prime.

[DarkReflections]

the name of this thread makes me laugh.

[rdh007]

Although she has improved from her bald crazy chick days, she is still far away from her prime.

Each time I see pictures, she's inching forward. (Though she's also getting older, these things are inevitable)

[Catman]

she's also getting older

She's only 28. Then again...she's already popped out two kids. Still, she could get close to her Oops! I Did It Again and I'm A Slave 4 U physique.

[Marx]

She's only 28. Then again...she's already popped out two kids. Still, she could get close to her Oops! I Did It Again and I'm A Slave 4 U physique.

It's entirely possible for her to regain that physique. In my view, she isn't that far away now.

[Go Web Go!]

the name of this thread makes me laugh.

I preferred the last title - and kinda wish the current title was "Britney Spears: Back in Control...for now."

[rdh007]

It's entirely possible for her to regain that physique. In my view, she isn't that far away now.

I don't disagree, in fact I'd agree that she's quite close now. But even at 28, these things aren't as easy as at, say, 19.

[Pyrox]

So the white bikini shoot was for a VMA Promo

[Go Web Go!]

Is Russell Brand hosting the VMA's again? One and done, buddy. One and done.

[Pyrox]

indeed he is, lord only knows why though...I didn't think he did an amazing job or anything

[Go Web Go!]

I didn't watch last year, but I remember everyone talking about how bad of a host he was.

[Charlie No-One]

I hope Britney performs. That would be epic. She should just do Womanizer and take the tour performance. Or she could do the tour version of Radar. The Radar performance is really strong.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Music producer Ann Mincieli a.k.a. Anntastic confirmed new Britney music with Max Martin ("Baby One More Time," "If U Seek Amy") via her Twitter page, saying:

"Working on a NEW Britney Spears song with Max Martin! Rock Joint!

YAY!!

[jaymes_e06]

I hope Britney performs. That would be epic. She should just do Womanizer and take the tour performance. Or she could do the tour version of Radar. The Radar performance is really strong.
Radar is one of her best songs! Wish the video could have been a bit more "Toxic-esque" but she probably didn't want to get flack and accuse her of having no originality like they tried to do for the Womanizer video.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

yeah, i was picturing something more like Do Somethin for the video. but in my opinion they should have gone with a slower song for the fourth single anyways. and then the video might have been appropriate.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

Is Russell Brand hosting the VMA's again? One and done, buddy. One and done.

unfortunetly. the VMAs were anything but funny last year. im not thrilled that he's coming back. the best part last year was when Jordin Sparks spoke out about what he had said earlier.

[Nightmare]

Russell Brand wasnt funny whatsoever, awful host. Worse than Jimmy Fallon.

[Go Web Go!]

He was funny in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. That's where he should have called it a career.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

agreed.

[Sawyer]

Russell Brand wasnt funny whatsoever, awful host. Worse than Jimmy Fallon.

Thats simply not true.

[Sawyer]

unfortunetly. the VMAs were anything but funny last year. im not thrilled that he's coming back. the best part last year was when Jordin Sparks spoke out about what he had said earlier.

she was such a moron....

[ChaoticPsylocke]

what?? i thought he was such a jerk to say stuff like that. i was glad she was there to defend people of that choosing.

i dont wear a ring but i would be really offended, AND its a TERRIBLE message to make fun of people like that on a young person's television program.

[Nightmare]

Best thing about that was him coming out and apologizing after that. :hehe:

[ChaoticPsylocke]

Radar is seeming to have a really hard time charting. I think the best thing Britney could do for the song is to perform it this year at the VMAs. anyone who didnt know the song would at that point. it would raise awareness and all that.

i think it would be a great push for the song. anyone think she will?

[Go Web Go!]

Wasn't Radar on her last album as a bonus track? That may be a reason why it's underperforming. It was released 2 years ago. Britney fans have heard it before.

[Nevaratoiel]

Britney who? :huh:



:whatever:



:grin:

[jaymes_e06]

Wasn't Radar on her last album as a bonus track? That may be a reason why it's underperforming. It was released 2 years ago. Britney fans have heard it before.
Righhhhhhttttt.... They didn't even remix it or anything. Why did they think it would be this great big hit when it was already singled an on her previous album?:huh:

If anything she was just making the video for the fans.

[Charlie No-One]

Walmart, Billboard, and Best Buy are promoting her Singles album so I guess it is legit.

I'll be downloading the new songs...:o

[ChaoticPsylocke]

agreed. i only purchase her actual albums. and since i ALREADY have all of the other songs i really dont need to re-purchase them.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Mmhm.

On a side note, I still wish I could've gone to her concert again tonight. :o

[Go Web Go!]

My cousin went. Most of the setlist remained the same from the first show.

[Nightmare]

I'll be downloading the new songs...:o

How many new songs are coming out?

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

My cousin went. Most of the setlist remained the same from the first show.
Yeah, I figured it did. I've already seen some of the YT vids from her last few shows. I had gone to the mall today...though too bad it wasn't the Bayside one. :o
How many new songs are coming out?

I don't think they've said how many are coming out yet.

Actually, if this post I put up a few days turns out to be true, it should be 4 new songs.

Thank you, sir.

I recently started hearing the first album for the first time in a long time. I like Email My Heart :up: Lots of good songs on that album.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Part of her stage was down or something like that so she had to sing Everytime standing up. I also heard Touch of my Hand wasn't performed because of technical problems.

OKIGJGpUjDg

[jaymes_e06]

^Love that song.

[Charlie No-One]

Apparently she is releasing a new song this month and some sort of promo for the Singles cd/new song will be held during the VMAs.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

^^^^ apparently there is this song called "Dirty Girl" as well. some guy said he was producing the song, theres a link on wikipedia.

and also i wish they were using the album version of Overprotected and not the remix....

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

^^^^ apparently there is this song called "Dirty Girl" as well. some guy said he was producing the song, theres a link on wikipedia.


Yep. I posted that when that news first broke but since I can't find the post, here's an article mentioning it.


Britney Spears' brand new song is called "Dirty Girl", so revealed music producer Russ Castella. "Working on the new britney track...but shhhh it's supposed to be a secret," he wrote on his Twitter. "The new britney track is called 'Dirty Girl' and its gonna be realllllyyyyy dirty."

Russ Castella is well known for his work on remixing hit singles from such artists as Lil Wayne, Ciara and Keri Hilson. Up to date, it is unclear whether or not the new song he works for Britney will be included in her upcoming greatest hits album.

Beside working with Russ Castella, Britney Spears recently tweeted about hitting studio with acclaimed producer Max Martin. Moreover, recent rumor suggested she will drop the hits compilation tentatively titled "The Singles Collection" in late October.

[Go Web Go!]

Ugh. Lil' Wayne.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Ugh. Lil' Wayne.

Haha yeah...I don't think that's her soooo I edited my post because of it. If it is, oh well. :o

[Charlie No-One]

Apparently Britney sang live tonight on Everytime because her track kept skipping. Also they say she added in a cover of You Oughta Know by Alanis Morrisette.

I so want this version of the song.

i wish she had sung that when i went to see The Circus! hell, i wish she had sang any one of her songs live without a backing track

so this will be another two new songs on top of the other four we can get with the regular Singles collection right?? plus the possible "Dirty Girl" track?

which by the way im hoping she wont put any more of that kind of music out for a while. i realize she is FAR away from her good girl virgin image at this point. but i think it just looks bad releasing a song like that so soon after If U Seek Amy. enough people already think she is a ****.

[Charlie No-One]

I really hope that is live and not raw unedited vocals like the tour version of Circus is. She sounded great if so. Also at 2:20 in this video, the track cuts out and you can briefly hear her live. She continues to sing underneath the track when it comes back on and even adds a little vocal "yeah".

Ehx7PD2lLBg

[ChaoticPsylocke]

awww i love her sooo much! honeslty id rather hear her REALLY sing live, even if she sucks! than always listen to the vocal track.

i dont care! i can listen to her cd any time i want to. and she has to realize that her fans, the people that stuck with her even after all that crazy business and KFed and all that love her no matter what and are obviously not expecting some kind of perfect vocal performance.

[jaymes_e06]

Yep she was definitely singing live. And she didn't sound bad at all really. I wonder why she lip syncs so much... :huh:

[spideyboy_1111]

Yep she was definitely singing live. And she didn't sound bad at all really. I wonder why she lip syncs so much... :huh:

because of her dancing. Very very few performers can actually do the elaborate choreography and actually belt out music a the same time. I mean think about it.. you'd be huffing and puffing into the mic, and your notes would be next impossible to always get while your bending over and swinging around and jumping.

Beyonce? Madonna, Christina Aguilera? Rihanna? I'm not knocking Brit Brit but there is something to be said about somones live vocals even if they suck it's just much more honarable to do it live.

[Marx]

That's a pretty good rendition of 'You Oughta Know'.

[Charlie No-One]

Ok I don't think it was live anymore which really disappoints me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRLCP9MVsio

Audio cuts in and out and when it comes back it, it comes back in perfectly. I don't know. We will see at the next concert.

[jaymes_e06]

It sounds live to me. :huh:

The "audio" your hearing is her backup singers. At least I think it is.

[Charlie No-One]

No when it goes completely dead during the second verse. I am on the fence whether I think it is live or not. I love Britney, don't get me wrong, but she never sounds like she does in that video live.

[jaymes_e06]

It could be her microphone. That happens right? :o

No I'm pretty sure it's her. I hope so because she really impressed me with that song and if she did it live that would just be the icing on the cake.

[Charlie No-One]

Yeah. I really hope the verses are live. The chorus definitely is being supported with the background singers and playback which is what a lot of singers do. That is ok with me.

[jaymes_e06]

Me too. She was hitting all the high notes even with the background singer and track anyway. I hope she starts singing more live.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Didn't she sing Everytime live though on the Onyx hotel tour?

OWs6uaxrd68

[Charlie No-One]

Yeah and it sounds...not the best.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Yeah and it sounds...not the best.

:hehe:

[Charlie No-One]

I think she sounded best on SNL when she sang Everytime live. She can sing her own songs live pretty well but they never sound perfect and You Oughta Know sounded a little too good for a Britney-standard live performance.

[jaymes_e06]

I agree. lol

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

She sang 'You Oughta Know' again last night in Detroit:

UgVAwXigR-Q&feature=player_embedded

[ChaoticPsylocke]

omg! that SERIOUSLY pisses me off! when i went to The Circus there were no giant jumbotron screens to show her! ugh!

seriously the people that go to her first shows get the short end of the stick. she was not in as good of shape at the beginning, she had uglier stage costumes, she had less songs, she didnt perform live, and now i find out this. : (

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Not that I didn't think she wasn't going to show, but Brit Brit is definitely going to be at the VMAs according to this video:

R2RhvV9ip44&feature=player_embedded

[Charlie No-One]

They aren't very accurate though. In 2007, they said she would perform a song called "Cry" at the VMAs. She had a show last night so unless she got a plane immediate after, I don't think she will attend. :( I rather her not attend than attend and not perform.

[Nightmare]

She sang 'You Oughta Know' again last night in Detroit:

She will be filming performances and insiders tell us that the shoot will most likely be in 3-D.

Details on the release - whether it will be in theaters or some other option - are still being worked out.

[ChaoticPsylocke]

what the heck! ANOTHER song! im totally not complaining btw

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

New Britney video coming soon!!

Britney is now celebrating a decade of once again being at the top of the charts, and her new single “3” will be released to radio stations on Tuesday, with a collection of her 10 Years of Hits to be released in November. There were wild rumors circulating in Las Vegas this week that she would be shooting the “3” video here this weekend between her two nights of shows starting this evening at the Mandalay Bay Events Center.

“Totally untrue,” said her manager Larry Rudolph when I reached him late yesterday en route here from San Diego. “It will be filmed in about four weeks’ time in Los Angeles.” Larry also cleared up the mystery of “invitations” that suggested Britney would be filming an ABC special on Tuesday here in Vegas.

“We tracked that one down,” he told me. “Somebody started it as a joke. Then it became a rumor. Somebody then sent out fake invitations to attend the taping, and suddenly it all became solid fact. There is no TV special taping while we are in Las Vegas. Please print that and end the rumors.”

....

As tomorrow is the tour’s final American night, I’m told there will be a huge blowout bash for the wrap party. I’m not revealing any advance details of where it will be, but we’ll have that report and all the photos of Britney’s weekend visit here at Vegas DeLuxe on Monday.

being at the top of the charts

I never realized it, but it's true. Womanizer was a #1 hit single. Gimme More and Circus peaked at #3. Everything else was in the top 20 except for Radar which peaked at #88.

I will be getting the Ultimate Fan Box Set despite having all her cds/singles.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Off DigitalSpy:

Britney's got a 'Singles Collection' coming out at the end of November and, in customary fashion, it contains a new track that's going to be released as a single. Two of your trusty DS reporters got to listen to it at the end of last week - 18 times, if we recall correctly - so here's what we thought.

1. It's called '3' and it's a Max Martin production.

2. We won't beat around the bush - it's about having a threesome.

3. The chorus, which has more than a hint of the playground chant about it, goes like this: "1-2-3 not only you and me / Got 180 degrees / And I'm caught in between / Counting 1-2-3 feed upon that three / Getting down with repeat / Everybody loves ohhhhh". The "ohhhhh", in case you were wondering, is a classic Britney lusty sigh.

4. Britney makes her intentions very clear elsewhere, telling us "living in sin is the new thing" on the bridge and offering this coaxing couplet on the second verse: "Three is a charm, two's not the same / "I don't see the harm, so are you game?"

5. Enough already with the lyrics! What does '3' sound like? Well, it's uptempo, quite electropoppy on the verses and a little bit ravey on the choruses.

6. '3' would fit better on Circus than Blackout - it's got that slightly cartoony quality that the more recent album sometimes has. The Britney track to which it's most closely related is probably 'If U Seek Amy', though they're more like second cousins who only see each other at family funerals and weddings than brother and sister.

7. The best bit of the song is the middle 8, on which Max Martin cools things down with some synthetic strings, a load of bassy beats kick in and Britters offers her boyfriend a get-out clause: "If you don't like the company / Let's do it just you and me..."

8. ...Before promptly changing her mind by suggesting "or three... or four on the floor". That last bit's pretty clever, because the beats she's singing over at the time could legitimately be classified as "four-on-the-floor".

9. It took us a few plays to fall for '3' - and truth be told it's no 'Gimme More' or 'Womanizer' - but as a fun, fruity newbie to round off a potentially brilliant Singles Collection, it does its job very well indeed.

10. It's premiering on US radio today, so expect to be hearing it very soon. The first UK play, in case you were wondering, will be on Radio 1 this Wednesday afternoon.

I can't stop listening to it...& that's a good thing. :up:

I love it.

Not an insta-hook, but close enough. This sounds far closer to Blackout than Circus, as the reviewer five posts above was saying, which pleases and brings much relief to me. The song is hella addictive, yet not annoyingly so like Womanizer (though I don't mind it so much now; absence does make the heart grow fonder). Here's to the video not turning out the way of Radar. :up:

TMZ has obtained dozens of photos of the disgusting, filthy rental home Kevin Federline is accused of destroying -- but the real question ... how the hell could he raise his two little boys in a bona fide dump with dismantled smoke detectors and exposed electrical wiring?

The photos show the Tarzana, CA home wasn't only dirty, but extremely dangerous -- with cigarettes and glass bottles tossed all over the yard, and broken pieces of tiles and pottery right near the play area.

Pics can be viewed here: http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/kfeds_dirty_crib#53620

& on another note, Britney's shooting the video for '3'. Some info about the video...

Jon Boogie gave me a few answers to some questions I had about the “3″ Music Video:

Q: Will “3″ be better than If U Seek Amy?

A: Yes

Q: Does Britney dance in “3″

A: Yes, more than If U Seek Amy

He also said that Britney has been to rehearsal more than once for 3.

He wouldn’t give any other details, he said we can wait.

Why is in the world is Britney paying K-Fed $25K per month for child support, if he can't even provide a decent environment for his boys to live in? Mind boggles...

Britney Spears’ former boyfriend pleaded no contest today to leaving the scene of an accident after he allegedly drove his car toward a man serving a restraining order against him from the pop star's father.

In exchange for the plea, Adnan Ghalib, 37, will have two other felony counts dismissed when he is sentenced Nov. 20, Los Angeles County prosecutors said. Ghalib, who entered his plea at the Van Nuys courthouse, faces up to a year in county jail.

The victim was serving the temporary restraining order against Ghalib, a paparazzo, at his Encino apartment when the incident occurred, prosecutors said.

Ghalib drove his car toward the victim and then drove away, according to Jane Robison, a district attorney spokeswoman.

Britney Spears becomes the first artist in over three years to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, to be released tomorrow (Oct. 15), as "3" opens at the pinnacle of the chart. Her new track, a racy paean to the joys of three-way sex from the upcoming hits set "The Singles Collection," due Nov. 24, shifts 255,000 downloads in its first week of release, also propelling it to No. 1 on Digital Songs. The title also jumps 38-25 on the Pop Songs chart and debuts at No. 49 on Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay, which ranks songs based on airplay audience on all radio formats."3" is the first title to debut at No. 1 since Taylor Hicks' "American Idol" victory song "Do I Make You Proud" did so on the chart dated July 1, 2006.

Off the NY Post:

Britney Spears has cleaned up her act. GK Reid, who recently styled the music video shoot for her hit new single, "3," tells us, "She exhibited amazing energy and was in great shape -- her body looked better than it has in years. "She munched on sushi instead of junk food, and even sang live with the words. She worked really hard and was really sweet to all the dancers." Says Reid of the video, which is an ode to threesomes: "It's really steamy."

Sounds like good news to me. :D

Britney Spears Fans Storm Out Of Australian Concert, Complain About Her Lip-Sync Performance (http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/11/britney-spears-fans-storm-out-australian-concert-complain-about-her-lip-sync)

She was only three songs into her Perth, Australia show Friday night when fans started heading to the doors. Hundreds of them left, and even more are angry about what they paid between $182 and $1370 US dollars to see.

"We are really big Britney fans, but it was crap," Josh Blee told local reporters. "She has let us down. Added Amanda Hawlet, who drove two hours to Perth's Burswood Dome, "I want my money (http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/11/britney-spears-fans-storm-out-australian-concert-complain-about-her-lip-sync#)back (http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/11/britney-spears-fans-storm-out-australian-concert-complain-about-her-lip-sync#) or I want her to sing properly. It cost me half a week's wage....it was a waste."

Even the Australian government has gotten involved in the dispute. New South Wales Minister for Fair Trade (http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/11/britney-spears-fans-storm-out-australian-concert-complain-about-her-lip-sync#) Virginia Judge is considering requiring Britney to disclose on tickets for future shows that she doesn't sing live. "Australians would not tolerate a 'Mickey Mouse' performace," Judge told the Sydney Daily Telegraph. "Let's be clear. Live means live."

[Nightmare]

Wow.

[Catman]

Funniest news story of the day, for sure.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Ouch...:o

Damn Aussies.

[Hunter Rider]

What a load of crap, acts like Britney don't sing live 90% of the time as they can't do that and their dance routines, it's common sense.

[Nightmare]

Id rather see her sing then do all the dance routines. But yeah, its nothing new. MJ used to do that as well.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

What a load of crap, acts like Britney don't sing live 90% of the time as they can't do that and their dance routines, it's common sense.

Yeah. & the Britney concert was amazing (for me anyway heh). I had no problem at all that she was lip-synching. I had loads of fun.

[Charlie No-One]

You just have to be a complete idiot to buy a ticket for a Britney Spears concert and expect live singing. I love the girl, but seriously.

[LEX]

Would they like some cheese with their whine? If you shelled out over a thousand bucks for a concert, well, you'd best stay the entire show, even if it's utter crap. It's an open secret that Britney lip-synchs. Claiming ignorance as to her "singing" is only pathetic and invites no sympathy. Perhaps in the future, Britney and co. should put "NO LIVE SINGING" in flashing multi-colored letters. Make it 3D while they're at it. Clearly, some people can't be trusted to be responsible with their own money. :whatever:

"Thousands of fans" walked out? Really? Somehow, I think this is media sensationalism at its most potent, and unforturnately, it seems to have caught on among other media outlets. It's news like this that makes me not only ashamed to be an Australian, but human in general. Journalism has gone to the dogs these days, reported from one and no other side of the coin.

[Star]

It also depends on the quality of the lip syncing though. I don't mind if people do it (because face it, a lot of artists do) but it should be believable. If people walked out, it obviously was poorly done

[Charlie No-One]

The managers of the arena she played at say many of these "complaints" and pleas for money back, are nonexistant. They said they didn't get a single compliant about the concert. Also, I think it is pretty funny how all of these walk-outs and bad reviews are coming out after the public comments about her lip syncing prior to arrival in Australia. I think some of these articles were written before the concert even happened.

[Catman]

The singles collection comes out on Tuesday, right?

Britney Spears "upset" over Australian tour complaints

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/britney-spears-upset-over-australian-tour-complaints/30887

Before her world tour started in March to promote her sixth studio album, Spears had only done a handful of live concerts in recent years as her personal life ran out of control.

This included stints in psychiatric care, an ugly divorce, losing custody of her two sons, shaving her head and partying without panties.

Spears has been at the center of debate over lip-synching since she arrived in Australia last week, even though it's no secret that she mimes as she dances in her circus-themed show.

The Fair Trade Minister for the state of New South Wales, Virginia Judge, ignited the debate by saying Australians would not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse" performance by Spears, who rose to fame as a member of Disney's "Mickey Mouse Club" TV series.

Judge suggested concert tickets should carry disclaimers about whether parts of concerts were pre-recorded and mimed.

Dainty said it was well known that part of Spears concert was lip-synched and blasted any inference that this was hidden.
"It's been all over the Internet for nine months," Dainty said. "This show is about an incredible spectacle, which it is."

Spears' manager Adam Leber took to Spears' Twitter account to defend the singer to her 3.7 million followers.
"Its unfortunate that one journalist in Perth didn't enjoy the show last night. Fortunately the other 18,272 fans in attendance did. - Adam" he wrote.
The management from the Burswood Dome in Perth, where Spears' show was staged, told local reporters that they had not received any complaints from the 17,000 people who were at the show. A similar number attended Spears' show the next night as well.

Thousands of fans flooded Spears' personal website and Twitter to congratulate her on her comeback, describing her Perth performances as "amazing," "awesome" and "brilliant."

[Red Mask]

Id rather see her sing then do all the dance routines. But yeah, its nothing new. MJ used to do that as well.

If she really was lipsynching then she's nowhere near M.J.'s level. This is the same woman who shouted '*****' after the start one performance, right?

[spideyboy_1111]

Really? I don't mind it at all it is shiny and healthy and not overprocessed at all. I personally think this is the best it's looked dark but that really not saying much.

Kathy is a beat behind. Britney has always had her hair darker. It started out darker and all through the Onyx Hotel Tour it was brown. She is fine and healthy. The dress was a total miss though.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Britney Spears is ready for the world to hear her new sound, which a source says will be "more energetic" than the last album.

A person familiar with the project tells X17online exclusively:

"Right after this year's Grammy Awards, Britney met with all of the producers for her next album to explain the vibe she's looking to capture. Brit, who is co-writing many of the songs, explained that she's looking to give the new album a vibe like the song Get Naked from Blackout."

Our source says that the pop princess, who we're told is "not only a hard worker, but an incredible mother," has recruited many of the same producers from her Blackout album like Bloodshy and Avant, Danger and Corte Ellis. According to the source, this new album "will be like Blackout times 100!"

X17online has learned that the album was set to be released this summer, but the project may now be pushed back. Our source says that very soon we'll be hearing some new Britney on the radio.

Calls to Jive Records were not immediately returned.

Ryan Murphy is listening.

A few days after the manager of Britney Spears tried to Tweet interest in a Glee episode dedicated to his client, the show's creator says "“I’m interested in the Britney Spears idea."

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he added: "I’ve always loved her. I’m entertaining it. I think young kids would like that.”
