Britney Spears' Ex Sentenced To Jail

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:31:06 +0000

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib is being sent to jail for 45 days for leaving the scene of an accident. Los Angeles District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says Ghalib was taken into custody immediately after being sentenced Friday. He pleaded no contest last month to leaving the scene of an accident that injured a man who was trying to serve him with a restraining order. The order was sought by Spears' father and was eventually granted. The process server has sued Ghalib, a paparazzo. That case is still pending. Robison says Ghalib was also ordered to serve three years of formal probation and perform 45 days of roadside cleanup duty. The 37-year-old was facing up to a year in county jail.

Britney Spears And Madonna 'Tease' Fans In 'Me Against The Music' Video

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

'I wanted it to be a bit of a cat-and-mouse sort of game,' director Paul Hunter explains. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Britney Spears in "Me Against The Music" Photo: Jive Records It was the changing of the guard — or at least the meeting of two of the most influential pop divas of all time — when Britney Spears and Madonna hooked up for Brit's single "Me Against the Music," from 2003's In the Zone. The superstars tantalize the audience (and each other) throughout the flirty video. "Madonna is an icon of an earlier generation, and then Britney of the newer generation. She was at her peak at that point," director Paul Hunter told MTV News about the video. "So it was a challenge to kind of bring both of the worlds together. I wanted it to be a bit of a cat-and-mouse sort of game and a little bit of a foreplay between Britney and Madonna and just sort of tease the audience." A few years back, Britney revealed that the collaboration ...

Britney Spears Declared Her Independence With 'I'm Not A Girl' Video

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:50:00 +0000

'The wind started picking up a lot and almost dropped me over,' Brit recalls of cliffhanging clip. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Britney Spears in "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" Photo: Jive Records Britney Spears had been grappling with her budding adulthood when she released her third album, simply titled Britney, in 2001. With songs like "Overprotected" and "Let Me Be," Spears seemed to be letting out her adolescent angst. But on the single "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman," which was also featured on the soundtrack for her flick "Crossroads," the singer wanted the world to know that she was ready to be treated like an adult. For the video, director Wayne Isham just wanted to have Britney out in nature — even if the setting seemed a bit dangerous for a pop star. "I go, 'Let me check it out first,' " Isham told MTV News about having Britney stand on the edge of a cliff. "She understood that if my fat ass was out there and I could stand there, ...

50 Cent Says He Feels The Same Pressure As Britney Spears

'They begin to resent you,' Fif says of the pressure the public puts on its favorite stars. By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: MTV News 50 Cent says Before I Self Destruct is no different from his other three solo LPs; he feels like his back is against the wall every time he releases a new album. "Absolutely, every project is the same for me," he told MTV News. "It feels like I'm back in the underdog space because I feel that doubt from the public where they go, 'Do you think he can do it again?' [They doubt you can] return to that space where you're generating that interest as before. Not the actual sales, not how people feel about you generally, but overall does it feel the way it felt in 2003? ... But I told them ahead of time, actually getting a chance to hear the record, is that this album was arguably better than Get Rich or Die Tryin'. " Fif says he's more conscious of himself in the studio now, as opposed to when he was debuting. Now that he's tasted the ...

Britney Spears' Style Is 'So Real,' Christian Siriano Says

'Project Runway' winner marvels at how 'it's never about the clothes' for Britney. By Jocelyn Vena Christian Siriano Photo: MTV News Britney Spears has made a career out of crawling around onstage and dancing through her videos in barely there outfits. But when it comes to really nailing down the one moment that Britney was at her most stylish, designer Christian Siriano says it's all about her understated look when she performed onstage with Madonna in 2008 . "My favorite Britney moment was when she was kind of having this tiny bit of a comeback, right at the beginning," he told MTV News. "And it was when she wore the beautiful black pants and that white blouse onstage with Madonna. I thought that was so chic and so not her, so that's why I really liked it." Britney also dazzled Siriano's senses at the 2008 VMAs. "And then obviously when she won all of her music awards recently in that sequin dress," he recalled. "And she looked really chic, but I liked it. ...

How Britney Spears' 'Stronger' Video Made Her A Diva

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

Video found singer moving from teen pop star to femme fatale. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Britney Spears in "Stronger" Photo: Jive Records Up until the release of "Stronger," Britney Spears had not yet truly made the leap from teen pop star to femme fatale. Most — if not all — of her videos were glossy, pastel-colored romps about falling in and out of love. It wasn't until she worked with Joseph Kahn on "Stronger," from her 2000 Oops! ... I Did It Again LP, that Spears began to emerge as a darker, more dangerous version of sexy. "For 'Stronger,' she said, 'I would like to dance in a chair and drive in a car and break up with [my] boyfriend,' " Kahn told MTV News. " 'Those are your three elements.' And then, as a director, you go, 'OK, well, how do I make that cool?' "I think this video is interesting because it's got a very sophisticated, adult look to it," Kahn (who has helmed dozens of music videos, including Brit's "Womanizer" ...

Bon Jovi's The Circle Hits The #1 Spot On Billboard

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:32:00 +0000

Britney Spears' Singles Collection lands at lackluster #22. By Gil Kaufman Bon Jovi's <i>The Circle</i> Photo: Island Music fans appear to have taken a break from holiday shopping last week, as sales of the top albums took a noticeable dip, and the latest #1 debut did just about half the business Carrie Underwood 's Play On did the week before to hit #1. Jersey icons Bon Jovi take over the top spot on next week's Billboard albums chart with their latest, The Circle, which sold just about 163,000 copies according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan. That was just over half of what the band's previous #1, the country-tinged Lost Highway , did in its first week in 2007. It was enough, however, to keep tenor Andrea Bocelli 's My Christmas at #2 (136,000) and to knock Underwood down to #3 (128,000) as her second-week sales plummeted by 60 percent. The only other debut in the top 10 is from righteous metallers Flyleaf , whose Memento Mori ...

Britney Spears Fought For 'Oops! ... I Did It Again' Red Catsuit

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

'I was told that Britney hired this guy that worked with Michael Jackson,' director Nigel Dick recalls of costume switch. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Britney Spears in "Oops!... I Did It Again" Photo: Jive Records Britney Spears had everyone buzzing after releasing several sexy videos from her debut album, including the pop-tart clips for " ... Baby One More Time" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy." So when Britney released the first video from her second album for "Oops! ... I Did It Again," she decided not to mess with a good thing and once again worked with frequent collaborator Nigel Dick, who this time reinvented Spears as a sexy, otherworldly vixen. " 'Oops!... I Did It Again' was the first single from her second album, so there's definitely the sense that this is Britney's second album," Dick told MTV News about the expectations surrounding the video's release in 2000. Like the concepts for her earlier videos, Britney also had a very clear ...

Britney Spears ' ... Baby One More Time' Video Director Looks Back

'I just love the song. It's just a great song,' Nigel Dick says. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Britney Spears in "... Baby One More Time" Photo: Jive Records In 1998, Britney Spears sauntered down the halls of high school, dressed in uniform, singing about the boy who broke her heart. " ... Baby One More Time" let the world know that a new pop starlet was in town. "I decided to try this idea that someone had thrown at me and they hated it — they absolutely hated it," the video's director, Nigel Dick, told MTV News. "So I jumped on the phone with Britney and she says, 'Well, I now I think it should be about me in school and there be lots of hot boys around,' and that was pretty much it — oh, and a bunch of dancing. And my response was, 'OK.' " In a 1998 interview with MTV, Spears revealed that she wanted the video to reflect the lives of her fans, so she wanted to set it in a school.

Britney Spears Wanted '(You Drive Me) Crazy' Video To Take Her 'To The Next Level'

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:23:00 +0000

Director Nigel Dick says the big hurdle was getting Adrian Grenier to appear. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears in "(You Drive Me) Crazy" Photo: Jive Records After Britney Spears established herself as a pop-star Lolita in her video for "... Baby One More Time," the singer slowed things down a bit with her single, "Sometimes." But she didn't leave her dancing shoes off for long. In the kitschy "(You Drive Me) Crazy," Britney showed the world that she's not just a sexy schoolgirl; she can be a sexy waitress too! "Actually, the concept of the video is all my idea," Spears told MTV in 1999, adding that she thought the choreography would be "big." "It would be cool to be in a club, and we're dorky waitresses, and we break out and start dancing." In an interview in 1998, Spears explained that she thought "Crazy" was an extension of her breakout hit, "... Baby One More Time," which makes sense, since both were written and produced by Max Martin. "It's an up-tempo ...
