You can believe your eyes – that’s really Britney Spears joking with MTV’s Video Music Awards host Russell Brand in new ads for the upcoming show.
“You are Britney Spears, right? I’m not dreaming this am I,” asks the British comedian in the ad, which also includes a 9,000-lb. elephant in the background.
“No, this is real,” Spears assures the show’s host – and pinches him to prove it.
It’s not easy being sexy, but someone’s gotta do it. And it was country singer LeAnn Rimes’s job to sacrifice her own health to get a music video shot with Jon Bon Jovi.
“We stayed up to 6 a.m. I was in a nightie in the middle of the street. It was freezing,” she said at Redbook Heroes: The Strength & Spirit Awards in New York Monday night. “I got a little bit of a cold from it.”
Britney Spears is not doing well with judges lately.
The custody-battling pop star is now getting pounded in the court of public opinion for her new pole dancing video for the single “Gimme More” off her upcoming album, Blackout, to be released Nov. 13.
“Our analysis: Looks like it was shot in one take on the cheap and then gussied up with a bit of cutting and camera work,” grumbles Rolling Stone on its Web site. “There’s no real choreography (just a bit of dancing near a pole) and all the smoke and mirrors – literally and figuratively – made us nauseous.”
