Britney Spears

While many of us us (thankfully) made it out of the 00s leaving some incredibly cringe-worthy fashion trends behind us, there are still some things which haunt our memories. 

Fashion is one thing, but beauty is an entirely different animal. 

Remember the days of zero YouTube tutorials, shimmery bronzer and 100 per cent less eyebrows?

Well, let us take a quick trip down memory lane for a reminder of the make up trends which were perfectly fine with letting go of. 

1. Less was definitely more when it came to brows:

2. There was a lot of tan happening:

The '00s did have bronzer though, which, like many things during this glorious decade, had a tendency to make you orange and glittery.

3. Everything was better with 100 per cent more black eyeliner, day or night:

4. Body glitter:

No Miley. Do not try and bring this back. 

5. People could not get enough of extensions:

2007 was a tough year for a lot of people.

6. Ultra dark lip liner was on point:

Shades were dark, and then extra dark.

7. Which had to then be combined with a very frosty lip:

This was considered the holy grail according to Bebo photo albums.

8. The 'zig-zag' parting:

It was hard to be taken seriously with this look.

Let this be a reminder to us all that someday we will look back on all of those contouring tutorials and think, 'why?'

All of the stars of Orange is the New Black hit the red carpet for Sunday night’s Emmy awards. Before Uzo Aduba could take home her much-deserved award however, one of her co-stars was busy sending fans into a frenzy she was quizzed on the carpet.

Entertainment Tonight asked actress Taryn Manning a question that few of us had thought to end propose, because now we just cannot stop thinking about it: Will Britney Spears be on OITNB?

In case you forget this important moment in pop culture history, Britney and Taryn starred alongside each other in the classic noughties film Crossroads. Which was written by Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, just FYI.

So, Taryn was asked if she would want to see Britney behind bars at some point on the show. Her answer:

"Of course! I want Britney everywhere," Manning said. "She's such a good actor I feel they can do anything with her. I was so impressed working with her.”

While some might doubt Britney’s acting chops, because to be fair the OITNB cast are quite amazing, Taryn gave her the seal of approval:

“She's so sincere in her acting. [With Crossroads] everyone was maybe hoping she wouldn't be good, but she was great."

Britney has just finished filming for a different series, Jane The Virgin, so perhaps this may actually be a reality at some point in the future. Taryn wasn’t quite sure who exactly Britney could play, although we’re sure fans have a few ideas, but she could share some Crossroads memories with us.

“There’s a very specific day [that stands out to me when I look back on the movie] — I was like ‘Sing, sing for me,’ right?- she sang the National Anthem for me in the car — for us — and it was the most perfect thing I’ve ever heard”

It always makes things a little messy when your friends and your exes start showing an interest in one another. It tends to be one of those circumstances that is best avoided if at all possible.

As it turns out, those in Hollywood are not of the same thinking. While Britney Spears and Tiger woods are probably not BFFs per say, there has been an interesting development in the land of celebrity couples that puts the duo in the middle.

Olympic ski champion Lindsey Vonn called it quits and split with Tiger back in May, citing their “hectic lives” as being at the root of their issues.

The 30-year old has since been spotted twice with Charlie Ebersol, Britney Spears ex-boyfriend. You may remember him from that video posted on Instagram. It seemed like his efforts to get Britney back might impress her, but apparently not.

Instead he has been spotted at the US Open alongside the Olympic athlete. While apparently the two are being very careful not to seem too cozy, a source revealed to Page Six:

“When they thought people weren’t looking, Lindsey and Charlie were very close… they were hanging on each other and had the spark of a new relationship.”

Lindsey took to Facebook in May to announce her split from Tiger writing: “Tiger and I have mutually decided to end our relationship… He and his beautiful family will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Charlie meanwhile supposedly thought Britney could have been ‘the one’. There were rumours earlier this year the couple were engaged.

Probably a good thing Brit isn’t a tennis fan then, because we reckon running into one ex was probably enough for the pair. Tiger was also at the Open last week, with his daughter Sam. It is a small world after all.

Celebrities were certainly out to shock their fans at the VMAs last week as many stars arrived in barely-there or naked dresses.

At the VMAs, stars can really show their true self – along with their very-true style.

So it was surprising when both Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj donned the red carpet wearing dresses from a designer that is virtually unknown.

The attention-grabbing, sheer dresses were not the creations of celeb-loved Versace or Givenchy, oh no.

These dresses were by a designer named LaBourjoisie.

Yep, our faces were just as confused as your's right now.

LaBourjoisie is a Lebanese designer label.

Their founder and head-designer, Antoine Salamah, spoke to the New York Post about his first ever red-carpet moment.

"The feeling of watching [Spears and Minaj] was overwhelming," he said. “I felt so proud that they chose to wear dresses from a Lebanese designer.”

LaBourjoisie was founded in 2002 after Antoine studied in Beirut's CAMM Fashion Academy.

His famous followers to date include Mexican pop diva Gloria Trevi and Khloe Kardashion; who stepped out in one of his numbers for boyfriend and Houston Rockets star James Harden’s birthday bash last week.

LaBourjoisie's dress start at a whopping $10,000 (€11,200), so it might be a little over our price range.

Antoine says: “Our customers are fashionistas that love to glow at their events and be the centre of attention.”

When it comes to style disasters – pretty much no celebrity is immune from the odd wardrobe mishap or sartorial disaster.

In fact, we're pretty sure that somewhere, at some stage, even Olivia Palermo has had an off-day.

And certainly, over her decade-and-a-half long career, a certain Britney Spears has also had her fair share of style catastrophes.

The list is arguably too long to delve into (double-denim with Justin Timberlake, anyone?) but few could forget her memorable-for-all-the-wrong reasons MTV VMA performance back in 2007 – a lip-syncing car-crash that was widely panned and ridiculed in the aftermath.

Still, eight years later, Ms Spears has certainly redeemed herself: she turned up to this year's VMA offering last night in a figure-hugging gold dress that turned heads and very possibly stole the show.

Yes, the 33-year-old mother-of-two was undeniably stunning wearing an unforgiving limited edition gown from Labourjoisie’s 2015 collection.

The thigh-skimming number features a low neckline, and cut-out panels at the waist and abs – not for the faint-hearted, granted, but Brit-Brit pulled it off perfectly.

Of course, the superstar remains one of the world’s most successful musicians – but her 2007 VMA appearance was the beginning of her now infamous downward spiral.  

She had a mental breakdown, underwent emergency psychiatric treatment, and her family feared for her life and the safety of her children.

In fact, for a period of time, she even lost custody of her two sons – Jayden James, nine, and Sean, eight – and a court handed over control of her personal and financial affairs to her father (that set-up is ongoing).

However, these days, things are looking a lot more positive for Britney, and TMZ reported recently that her “doctors have stabilised her to the point she can successfully work and maintain a personal life”. 

In late 2013, Ms Spears began a two-year residency show Britney: Piece Of Me at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. She is currently paid around €425,000 per performance.

It was the attire made famous by Britney Spears a decade-and-a-half ago during her hit Oops, I Did It Again video and subsequent performances of the song.

And now a strikingly similar red, Latex one-piece has been once again worn on-stage – albeit this time by Girls Aloud singer, Sarah Harding.

The 33-year-old was performing as part of the Manchester Pride festival over the weekend – and despite being a notoriously difficult item of clothing to pull off, the catsuit nevertheless showed off Sarah's gorgeous figure to full-effect. 

However, it comes with an occupational hazard: namely the presence of the dreaded camel-toe, which even Ms Harding was unable to avoid.

She also sported heavy eye makeup, with exaggerated eyelashes. 

Still, her fans took to social media afterwards to praise her energetic performance, which mainly included songs from her Girls Aloud days.

On Twitter, one user called her "red hot," complimenting her "sizzling performance". And on Instagram, another said: "She smashed it!!! Great performance by @sarahnicoleharding !!! Very proud."

Sarah is evidently a big fan of Latex: she wore the same material for a performance at G-A-Y in London earlier this month.

Just a couple of months ago, she seemed to attribute their summer collaboration's poor performance to Ms Spears's 'busy' (read: 'she couldn't be bothered') schedule. 

Ouch. So understandably, we thought that Iggy Azalea was firmly off Brit-Brit's Christmas card list.

However, it has now emerged that the rapper still has a lotta, lotta love for the pop icon. Indeed, the Aussie chart-topper even praises Britney for helping her cope with life in the spotlight. 

Ms Azalea claims that she really wants to lead a normal life and thus takes inspiration from her Pretty Girls collaborator (though would we call Britney's life 'normal'?).

Speaking to The Fix Online, Iggy said: "I definitely think it's good to see Britney managing with the most extreme fame you could possibly ever have and being OK.

"That's got to be claustrophobic. I know I feel claustrophobic sometimes so to see her surviving with a fairly normal private life gives me hope."

Nevertheless, the 25-year-old went on to say that although Britney, 33, gives her hope, it is Jennifer Lopez, 46, that gives her the determination to be in the industry. 

"She's just so dedicated and professional and she puts so much time into rehearsing and making sure that every element of anything that she does is perfect."

Iggy is currently working on her second studio album, which will form the follow-up to her 2014 smash hit album, The New Classic.

'Round SHEmazing Towers, we can't help but notice that mega successful singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is fond of a high-profile celebrity spat

Yes, whether it's Katy Perry (obvs), Nicki Minaj, or Tina Fey AND Amy Poehler (unforgivable!), Tay-Tay certainly isn't afraid of jumping in for a scrap when she feels slighted (which seemingly is quite often).

The 25-year-old has even managed to get her boyfriend, Calvin Harris, in on the act: a week ago he didn't like a comparison made online between his Shake It Off love and Miley Cyrus.

When the message was retweeted by none other than Zayn Malik, formerly of One Direction, Mr Harris let his feelings be known in rather spectacular fashion.

And now it's a case of another week, another celebrity shade throwing bonanza. This time, Taylor has been pitted against Canadian songstress, Avril Lavigne.

Here's the back-story (pay attention): Swifty liked a post on Tumblr which suggested she was nicer to her fans at meet and greets than many other singers – the 'other' examples used being Kanye West, Britney Spears, Katy Perry (eek)… and Avril herself. 

When this came to Ms Lavigne's attention, she quickly amassed a montage of her own.

Depicted was the musician engaging warmly with the many followers she has met over a career which spans close-to a decade-and-a-half. It included the caption: "So let's keep it all about the love and stay positive."

And another tweet stated: "Comparison is judging and judging a person does not define who they are it defines who you are. We all Love our fans," – a message her 19.3million followers responded positively to.

Cue Mr Harris jumping in. "She didn't judge you she doesn't judge anyone!

"She was only having fun with her fans, not trying to compare you," the 31-year-old Scottish DJ said addressing the Sk8r Boi singer, 30, directly on Twitter.

And needless-to-say, it didn't take long for respective fans to express their outrage at the opposing side's actions. Indeed, social media has been positively alight since the incident.

Today, a source also told HollywoodLife.com that Calvin reckons Taylor is involved in so many feuds simply because "everyone" is jealous of her. 

"Calvin thinks it’s plan and simple, everyone is jealous of his girl," the insider explains. 

"Taylor is constantly being picked on for every little thing she does and Calvin’s advice is to stay positive and not take it personally."

Well, in that case we can't wait for next week's instalment of Tay-Tay's topsy-turvy world. Surely we're due a Britney-Swiftney spat soon?

Over the weekend Britney Spears made an appearance at the Teen Choice Awards.

While walking the red carpet the op star caused quite the stir and has managed to baffle many of us with her fantastic ability to age backwards it seems.

 

A photo posted by Britney Spears (@britneyspears) on

Britney, generous soul that she is, decided to share the experience with her family. She brought her two sons and her adorable niece Lexie to the award show. Lexie is the daughter of Britney's brother Bryan, 38, and his talent manager wife Gracielle Sanchez. 

The foursome walked the red carpet and smiled for the photographers together.

Well, most of them smiled. Lexie was just not feeling it.

 

All hail queen Lexie!

In case you thought maybe it was a case of Lexie and her cousins not getting along so well, you would be wrong:

Also, it was not just the red carpet that killed her buzz, the awards show itself was not all that according to Lexie.

Lexie is possibly our new favourite public personality, who does not want to be seen by the public. Lexie is basically all of us when we’re forced to be somewhere we hate.

Thank you Lexie, you made our day

Well this should be interesting.

Britney Spears has announced that she’s going to be coming to our TV screens again. This time the pop star will be making an appearance on Jane the Virgin.

The series, called a ‘dramedy’’ by Entertainment Weekly received a Golden Globes awards last year for lead actress Gina Rodriguez.

The second season of the series is set to be a good one after the debut season ended on a serious cliff hanger, fans are definitely curious as to what role Britney will have in the drama.

Gina herself appears to be quite the Britney fan and admitted to having a serious fangirl moment when she heard the news. We don’t blame her.

Showrunner for Jane the Virgin Jennie Snyder Urman said that having Britney join the cast was a “dream come true for us”.

In the past Britney has made appearances in episodes of How I Met Your Mother and Will & Grace. She was also a judge on the American X Factor series. Which was responsible for giving us many amazing GIFs, among other things.

There was also her short-lived reality TV series, which we still wish had lasted at least one episode longer. Does anyone else remember Britney & Kevin: Chaotic? That was a major player in television history.

Britney is currently performing in Las Vegas and just recently had a very special someone in the audience. She tweeted her thanks to DJ Skrillex when he stopped by to see the show and hang out with her sons, Sean, 9, and Jayden, 8.

Superstar Britney Spears remains one of the world’s most successful musicians – but it was all looking remarkably bleaker in 2007.

Indeed, back then the 33-year-old was in the midst of a mental breakdown, and her family feared for her life.

In the immediate aftermath of her emergency psychiatric treatment, her father Jamie went to court seeking conservatorship of her personal and financial affairs – something which was quickly granted to him.

And now TMZ is reporting that after seven-and-a-half years that set-up will continue indefinitely – and very possibly forever.

However, the media outlet explains that “no one involved is complaining”.  It adds: “The conservatorships have worked remarkably well”.

At one stage, it looked highly likely that Ms Spears, who shot to global fame aged 16, would permanently lose custody of her two sons.

In early 2008, there was a tense stand-off at her home: an emotional Britney refused to hand over her children to her ex-husband Kevin Federline's representatives. He was later given sole physical and legal custody of Jayden James, nine, and Sean, eight.

At the time, Britney only had visitation rights to her children – a right which was then provisionally revoked in light of her mental state.

 “Britney's doctors have stabilised her to the point she can successfully work and maintain a personal life,” TMZ says.

Britney has a team of lawyers and doctors, along with Jamie Spears, managing the conservatorship, but reportedly has “substantial day-to-day freedom” to make her own decisions.

In late 2013, Ms Spears began a two-year residency show Britney: Piece Of Me at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. She is currently paid around €425,000 per performance. 

Last year alone the conservatorship raked in €12.75m; but that’s only a portion of Britney's financial machine and doesn't include substantial commercial deals.
