"3" to debut at #1 on US Billboard Hot 100
Britney Spears will become the first artist in over three years to debut at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 tomorrow.
The singer's new single '3', which is taken from her upcoming singles collection, has shifted over 255,000 downloads in its first week of release, according to Billboard.
The track is also expected to reach pole position on the Digital Songs countdown and debut at number 49 on the Radio Songs/Hot 100 Airplay, which is based on airplay audience on all radio formats.
The last song to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 was Taylor Hicks's American Idol winners song 'Do I Make You Proud' in July 2006.
Britney's first single '...Baby One More Time' spent two weeks at the top spot in 1999 and 'Womanizer' enjoyed one week at number one last October.

Spears raps up US Circus tour
From Digital Spy
Britney Spears ended the US leg of her 'Circus' tour with a performance in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The 'Toxic' singer announced in June that she was to add 20 more dates to the North American portion of the jaunt.
She performed a 90-minute show at Mandalay Bay, which was attended by Barry Manilow and Lance Bass, People reports.
The former 'N Sync member was given a lap dance by Spears during her rendition of 'Breathe On Me', while he sang along with her during the routine.
The popstar was spotted shopping in the area before the gig at Mirage's Sugar Factory with boyfriend Jason Trawick and her two sons, Sean Preston, 3, and 2-year-old Jayden James.
"She spent about $3,000 (£1,880) and walked out of the store with ten bags," a source said. "She got a bunch of candy and shirts for her kids and got a bunch of the couture lollipops to give to her backup dancers."
Spears recently confirmed that she will play several shows in Australia in November.

Britney/Russel VMA Skit Rumoured
From BritneyFever
According to several sources, Russel Brand prepared something special for this year’s VMAs, which will take place this Sunday in New York City. It is said to be a skit involving dancers and rehearsals.
Another blog reports that Ms Spears is part of this “skit.” No legit details if this would be merely a skit or a performance. The photo above is apparently taken during rehearsals.
More info to come if this is true.

SCORCHING "You Oughtta Know" Reviews!
“Britney Spears has once again shocked the world but this time it’s something that could help her career. Performing last night in Greensboro, NC Spears sang live (yes I did say “sang live”). The singer who has lip synched her way through the entire Circus tour belted out a very impressive version of Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Know.Spears appeared very confident in the performance and the crowd showed its approval afterwards with thunderous applause. This performance was a surprise to those in attendance and one that I think most Britney fans hope she will continue with. Spears upped the ante last night and it will be interesting to see if this was a one-time set change or a permanent addition to the tour.” – Examiner -
“With the exception of a few rare vocals on drippy ballad Everytime, the US singer has been miming her way through her worldwide Circus tour. However it appears she’s now decided to up the ante, trying something a little different for gig-goers in Greensboro, NC. Britters looked confident as she belted out a cover of ALANIS MORISSETTE’S You Oughta Know. And it appears fans were impressed as they roared in approval afterwards”. – TheSun -
“At her concert in Greensboro, NC, on Saturday night, Brit Brit debuted a new song on her Circus tour set list. She did a cover of Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Know.And she actually sang live!!!!!!!!It was the first time she sang any song live during this whole tour!!!!!! Yes. Yes. Yes. Slowly but surely our beloved Brit Brit is rebuilding her confidence. And, hopefully, next tour there will be a lot more singing!” – PerezHilton -
“Britney Spears has sung live for the first time on her ‘Circus’ tour.The US star debuted a cover version of Alanis Morissette’s ‘You Outta Know’ at a concert in North Carolina, US, last night (05.09.09) – the first time she has sung a song live on the worldwide tour since it began in March.A concertgoer revealed: “We were really surprised! Nobody knew she going to sing that song. When I saw her rise up with a microphone I was thinking, ‘what is she doing?’ I had to ask the person in front of me what song she was singing!” In a video posted of Britney performing the song, she sounds confident and strong as a singer again and after she finishes, the shocked crowd give out huge cheers. Posting a text response to the video, one fan wrote: “This song is soooo good and seems so nice in Britney! “Congrats Britney, you should sing more live. Even if it’s not perfect it would be more exciting and emotional for you, and for the fans. “Previously on the tour, Britney has mimed while concentrating on the complicated dance routines involved in the show.” - ContactMusic -
“Last night at the Greensboro, NC stop of her Circus tour, Britney Spears covered Alanis Morissette’s 1990s anthem “You Oughta Know,” and from this admittedly low-quality video (and various reports on the Internet), it seems she actually sang live, instead of singing to tape. Again, the quality here isn’t great, but it looks like she rocked it. What better way to silence the critics than to step up to the mic, say to hell with it all, and spew some of that bile. Hot, confident Britney, live vocals, a dash of rebellion…hey Brit, how about breaking off for a few surprise shows at intimate clubs? I’d be down for that.” – Entertainer Weekly -

Michael Jackson tribute for Circus Tour final act?
Is Britney set to perform a tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, on the final leg of her Circus tour?
An video has been released alleging Britney is rehearsing "Man In The Mirror" to perform in tribute to the recently passed superstar...

The VMAs are Brits!
RollingStone.com: Congratulations, Britney! You're up for seven VMAs this year! It's a moment of sweet redemption for Britz, because it means she will return once again to the stage where she's tasted her sugariest highs and her most Xanax-tical lows. Let's face it, Britney is the VMAs. She's the reason we watch every year - it's how we take the temperature of the Britney universe. She was made for this show, and it was made for her.
Once more, Lady B shall take the stage where she suffered the indignity of the 2007 VMAs, where she mumbled, bumbled, and stumbled through a rendition of "Gimme More" that traumatized her fans, bumping into her scared-looking back-up dancers, rocking her spray-painted abs and one of Bret Michaels' used hairpieces. As people used to say way back in 2007, it was a "fail," as well as a "hot tranny mess."
Britz made her return to the VMAs last year, showing she could make the scene as a wholesome, soft-spoken Southern gal, but with all these nominations, she has a chance for an even bigger comeback - not to mention an even bigger celebration of her place as the pop queen of the decade. Nobody should be surprised if she sweeps all seven of her categories, just because "Womanizer" is a seven-times-awesome kind of song, although given that it's up against heavy hitters like "Single Ladies," "Poker Face" and "Love Lockdown," she might want to rehearse her "it's an honor just to be nominated, y'all" cliche just in case. (Bizarrely, she's not nominated for Best Female Video, maybe because she’s too much of a woman-woman-womanizer?)
Given that Eminem got a bunch of nominations as well, maybe MTV is just having spasms of 1999 nostalgia. But this a moment for all her fans to savor, wonder why the new category for "Best [Old] Video That Should Have Been A Moonman" doesn't have a nod for her "Lucky" video, from 2000. That's a classic. It was her Kid A.
