Britney Spears

It's been 15 years since Britney's second studio album, Oops!… I Did It Again, was released.

And considering her two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James are only nine and eight respectively, they're too young to remember what a massive hit it was: it reached No.1 in 15 countries and to date has sold 24million copies – making it one of the best-selling albums of the decade.

But on Saturday, Ms Spears took her two boys on a trip down memory lane – recreating the iconic album cover at Disneyland, where the trio were spending the fourth of July weekend.

"The boys and I doing our best #Oops album cover pose!" the 33-year-old posted to Instagram along with the relevant snap.

Britney was dressed down for the occasion, wearing grey shorts and a comfortable floral top along with runners. 

In an earlier photograph, the singer had wished her fans a "happy 4th of July from the happiest place on earth #Disneyland!!"

Sean and Jayden, along with Ms Spears’s seven-year-old niece Maddie, have all worked her before too: they made music video cameos in Work Bitch and Ooh La La, the latter of which featured on The Smurfs 2 soundtrack.

The star is shortly returning to Las Vegas to continue her run of successful shows there, and is evidently making the most of her down-time.

The Piece Of Me concerts kick-off again on August 5 at Planet Hollywood, and continue into next year. She began her residency in December 2013 and performs 50 shows a year for a €13.6m fee.

Britney is also geared up to release her ninth studio album at some stage in 2015, although the exact date has yet to be announced.

Iggy Azalea had a lot to say yesterday when Pretty Girls, her new single with Britney Spears, completely flopped, reaching a limp number 23 in the US charts and not even making it to the Top 50 in Ireland.

As this much anticipated duet didn't do as well as they had hoped, Iggy tried to shift the blame to Britney by tweeting "It's difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc. unfortunately I'm just featured."

Even more cutting, she then concluded with: "I dont have to suck the womans a**hole 24/7 to be her friend, do i?" 

These tweets received a lot of backlash from Britney fans and they were later deleted, but not before the Oops.. I Did It Again singer saw them and replied with a few cutting words of her own.

Britney retaliated with an extremely subtle dig at Azalea saying "can't wait to get back to Vegas. So thankful I have shows for the rest of the year to look forward to… #YouWantAPieceOfMe"

Meow! Fans jumped to the conclusion straight away that this was aimed at Iggy who recently cancelled her entire tour for the rest of the year without much explanation. 

Well played Britney..

It was the song that was supposed to be the summer hit of 2015: Britney Spears (who's shifted 100m albums in her 15-year career) and Iggy Azalea (who's the hot, young rap artist to collaborate with) came together and produced Pretty Girls.

They performed at the Billboard Music Awards, and the duo pushed their tune on social media. They have, after all, a combined following of some 47.5m (42.3m for Brit Brit; and 5.3m for Iggy) on Twitter.

The accompanying video – a bizarre, Eighties-inspired dance-fest – was released to much fanfare too. It notched up 78m views on YouTube, but was still widely panned as ridiculous.

The song itself hardly fared much better: in Iggy's native Australia, it peaked at No.27. In the US, it reached No.23. In the UK, it made No.16, while in Ireland it limped to No.60.

And today, Ms Azalea was asked by a fan why she thought the song did so badly. 

"It's difficult to send a song up the charts without additional promo and tv performances etc. unfortunately I'm just featured," the rapper tweeted in response, effectively washing her hands of the song's poor showing.

Even more cutting, she then concluded with: "I dont have to suck the womans a**hole 24/7 to be her friend, do i?" 

However, this evening she posted two more tweets – seemingly in response to the negative backlash to her earlier claims.

"Genuine friends have genuine opinions," she wrote. "Its possible & healthy to have a differing thought without it being bitchy or shade."

The Fancy hitmaker had earlier revealed to Access Hollywood that she wanted to take the lead on Pretty Girls, with Britney instead being the featured artist. 

"I rewrote parts of it and it became my song, and I tried to make it all mine and keep it," she explained. She added, however, that Ms Spears then came knocking. "So I swung it back her way because she's Britney Spears, you have to do that," she said.

"She gets whatever she wants. She has her verses I have my verse, but it's not just me kind of popping in it."

It's been a turbulent time for Ms Azalea. She had to scrap her world tour, as well as a high-profile performance at the Pittsburgh Gay Pride Show – the latter when old tweets surfaced that seemingly showed her using homophobic language.  

Still, the rapper recently got engaged: namely to professional basketball player Nick Young, who popped the question with a huge 10.43ct ring worth €450,000.

It's only been two days since Britney Spears' split from Charlie Ebersol was confirmed, and he doesn't seem to be coping too well so far.

The couple began dating last October, but over the weekend friends close to the pair revealed they had called it quits.

Unlike Brit's last relationship with David Lucado – which ended with a bang when he was reportedly unfaithful – this time around there was very little drama. That doesn't mean there's no heartbreak, though, as friends of Charlie reveal to People magazine that he has been "torn up" about the split and that he really thought Britney could be "the one."

Poor Charlie even took to Instagram yesterday to try and lift his spirits (or get Britney's attention), posting a message and video that definitely seemed to be directed at the singer.

"I wish for you today, that you find great joy in the joy you spark in others. If nothing else, I hope you're happy just in knowing that you made me happy. It is never lost on me the love with which I have been blessed," he wrote, along with a clip of him and his dog set to Randy Newman music.

Talk about milking it…

As for Britney, she seems to have been making the most of single life so far, if her own most recent Instagram post is anything to go by. The Piece of Me singer shared a picture over the weekend of herself posing on a boat with a mystery muscle man, writing, "So nice to be home! Nothing like Louisiana boys."

The singer may have only been dating Charlie for eight months, but it seems she could have gotten cold feet as the film producer pushed to move things on faster. "He [Charlie] really thought she could be the one. He is a very private, family guy and saw Britney fitting right in," a source said. 

In fact, earlier this year it was rumoured the couple had even gotten engaged as Brit was spotted sporting a diamond sparkler on her ring finger. 

As of yet it's not clear whether Charlie's social media message got her attention, but it definitely seems like Britney has the upper hand in this battle.

Britney Spears loves a good bargain. Don’t we all Brit, don’t we all?

But when you’re a multi-millionaire who's sold millions of albums, bargain-shopping means spending €36,000 on “household supplies”. Still, a large portion of that sum  was spent at Target.

For those unfamiliar with its delights, Target is the kind of place where you could pick up 5,000 plastic cups without breaking a €5 note.

It's possible Britney has a personal assistant who does this kind of shopping for her (the 33-year-old is pretty busy performing at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas after all).

But we’re still trying to imagine what kind of dramatics would ensue if a fan had to battle it out with Britney over the last pair of bargain skinny jeans.

Still, at least her fur babies (she has two human children too) are well looked after with plenty of canine accessories. Yes, Ms Spears, who earned €12m in 2014, spent more than €21,000 on pet care.

At least Princess Sara Beth the tiny Yorkie seems pretty pleased with her owner’s affections; check out that tulle skirt. And Sara Beth’s lavish doggy bed? That pooch has got style.

But Britney’s pups aren’t the only celebrity pets to be given the star treatment from their owners. Numerous celebs are recording their fluffy BFFs day-to-day escapades on social media these days, giving us a sneak-peek into the lives of these four-legged stars…

 

Mally Beiber

Unfortunately for the Beibs, and Mally, their loving relationship was short lived. In 2013, Mally was taken by customs in Germany when Justin couldn’t produce the proper paperwork for the primate. Which is devastating because we can only imagine the fun that could have been had with Mally and Kendall Jenner on Justin’s latest trip to Hong Kong. Just think about it…

 

Bubba Sue Cyrus

Bubba is gaining some serious star power lately. Not only did she share the latest cover of Paper magazine with her loving owner Miley, when she first made her social media debut Bubba was trending on Twitter. This little piggy’s PR game is string, as is her ability to accessorise. We’re not surprised given her owner’s passion for all things neon.

 

Cecil Delevingne

Too much cute. This fluffy bunny has modelled for Burberry and Topshop alongside her famous human. Cecil is probably the cutest bunny we’ve ever seen and with serious style credit we’re just waiting for the fashion week debut.

 

Meredith Swift and Olivia Benson

These two are responsible for making the crazy cat lady aesthetic cool. They’re adorable, look at their folded over ears and try to contain your emotions, we dare you. They are also major celebrities all by themselves, the internet kind of had a meltdown when Olivia got to meet her namesake backstage at Taylor’s Nashville concert recently. Also, Meredith is the sassiest of all the pets on Instagram and we love her.

 

Norman and Bambi Jenner

No member of the Kardashian clan has really arrived until they hit the 100K follower mark on Instagram. These two pups smashed it and have almost 400K followers, and have only 19 photos posted currently. They never fly on commercial airlines and they are also passionate about designer labels. Norman only travels in Louis Vuitton, because he’s a Kardashian, naturally.

Just in time for summer, Britney has got herself a new look… and we have to say we love it!

She posted a photo of her brand-new hairstyle with the caption “my new haircut” – and fans are going crazy for her shorter locks ever since.

 

My new haircut! ✂️

Britney showcased the look while out and about shopping in LA earlier this week. She looked in great shape in a short black playsuit and wedges, showing off her long tanned legs.

Her hair is no longer long flowing and blonde, but now short with an added fringe.

Right now, Britney is taking a break from performing in Las Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. She is reported to be spending the majority of the summer season with her two kids.

There's also quality time with boyfriend, Charlie Ebersol, whom she is clearly head-over-heels for "he's really hot, too," Britney admitted. "Adorably hot." (awww)

In an interview with People, the singer confessed that the 32-year-old is "refreshing to be around and really lighthearted." It also doesn't help that he's easy on the eyes.

Everything seems to be on track for the 33-year-old, and we think this hair make-over could encourage a few other celebs to do the same. After all, Britney's tresses have been the beginning of counrless trends in the Nineties and early 2000s.

Here's some of our fave…

When the star released her video for Hit Me Baby One More Time the pigtail-plaits hairstyle swept the globe.

This fringe and long layers look definitely took over from The Rachel in hairdressers worldwide in '99. 

We're fairly sure that Britney was responsible for the choppy layered look epidemic of '01 

There's no doubt that upon seeing this ridiculously long, straight and high pony tail was the moment girls took the iron to their hair in a bid to achieve the same result. 

And it's also possible that Britney was the inspiration for Irish dancing wigs.

We love the Nineties! The clothes (platform runners), the music (I wanna really really really wanna zigazig ha), and the television (Team Rachel versus Team Ross).

But what we REALLY love looking back on is the oodles of abs that seemed to be forever on display.

Crop-tops, tank-tops, belly-tops were all there in abundance, seen on everyone from Britney to Christina, and from the Spice Girls to the All Saints gals.

Here, we round-up the very best abs that the Nineties had to offer.

 

Gwen Stefani: The singer/songwriter is now 45 and a mother-of-three, but her abs are in as brilliant shape as they were 20 year ago. Gwen's always loved baring her tum and these days she keeps up her series of gruelling core exercises in order to stay trim. 

TLC​: The abdomen queens of the era, Tionne T-Boz Watkins, Lisa Left Eye Lopes, and Rozonda Chilli Thomas rarely covered up their toned stomachs. And oh how we love them for it!

All Saints: Everything was big and baggy – not least their coats and combat pants. But they certainly made up for it with heaps of bra-tops and crop-tops that showed off their tanned, tight tums to perfection.

Britney: Think of the 1990s; think of midriffs – and you can't help but think of Britney. Ms Spears made low jeans teamed with bust-line tops her signature look – and in the process she sparked a trend that was copied by millions around the world.

Christina Aguilera: So technically this image is from 2000 – but we reckon it perfectly sums up Nineties-era Christina. The sassier version of Britney, she went for even skimpier outfits that always displayed oodles of ab.

The Spice Girls: The lot of 'em loved a short and sexy top (even you, Victoria) but Mel B trumped the rest with her fondness for getting her belly button out – a preference she retains to this day.

Janet Jackson: Sure her music was good – but her rock-solid stomach has always been JJ's defining characteristic. And she was always more than willing (fair play to her) to roll up a humble t-shirt in order to achieve her desired look.

Hurrah! The video for Pretty Girls has finally landed.

The Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea summer anthem was released last week, but the video only made its debut yesterday – and it’s already notched up close-to 3m views on YouTube.

The duo perform the song live for the first time this Sunday on the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, and if the video is anything to go by, we can expect plenty of OTT Nineties attire, inflatable pool accessories in neon colours, and back-combed, crimped hair (think Kylie Minogue in her 1988 classic, Locomotion).

And Ms Spears certainly proves that her dance moves are back to their absolute best – that and diehard fans will welcome the oodles of toned Britney midriff on display.

Britney previously told New York’s Z100 radio station that she’s a “huge fan” of Ms Azalea, while the Aussie rapper in turn has taken to Twitter to gush about Ms Spears.

The song was put together by the Invisible Men, a London-based production and writing trio who have also worked with Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Jessie J, and Coldplay, and was recorded in the autumn of last year. The video was directed by Cameron Duddy – who’s a favourite of Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson.

Do you love jeans? Because apparently half the world’s population is wearing a pair at any one time, meaning denim is probably the wardrobe stable that you don’t want to be without.

And now plus-size fashion brand Simple Be has dug deep into the style archives to find out exactly how denim styles have evolved, offering expert tips on how you can recreate those classic styles today.

How Jeans Conquered Fashion explores the history of denim from the Wild West, to Woodstock in the Sixties, punk rebellion in the Seventies and the coloured skinny jeans of more modern years.

Style icons such as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe feature too – as do Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, who infamously wore matching, all-denim attire to the 2001 American Music Awards.

Plus, there are lots of interesting facts and figures to devour. For example, denim sales increased by an astonishing 800 percent during the Eighties, and the industry will be worth €86.5bn by 2020.

The summer tune of 2015 has been all-but confirmed as Pretty Girls – the positively infectious new tune from Britney Spears and Iggy Izalea.

Released yesterday, it’s already getting serious air-time.

Britney and Iggy have combined their talents on Pretty Girls

 

“I saw her video and I was just a huge fan,” Britney told New York’s Z100 radio station this week of how the collaboration came about. “I was thinking about my next single for my next album and what I was gonna do, and I wanted to do a girl anthem," she added. "Something that was very girl empowering and that was kinda funny.”

Electro-pop infused Pretty Girls, which runs to less than three minutes, has strands of Gwen Stefani’s Hollaback Girl. It was put together by the Invisible Men, the London-based production and writing trio that have also worked with Girls Aloud, Sugababes, Jessie J, and Coldplay.

"She invited me to her house, and I met her dog and we had salads,” Britney contined. “She's a very sweet girl. We hit it off.”

Although the video has yet to be released, we were given a glimpse of what’s to come last month when the pair were seen filming in an array of Eighties-inspired attire: there were leopard-print crop tops, double denim, and neon accessories.

And Iggy and Brit Brit have confirmed that they will perform the song live at the Billboard Music Awards on May 17, held in Las Vegas.

She was pretty devastated to learn that, after a nasty on-stage tumble this week, she would have to pull out of this weekend’s performances of her award-winning Las Vegas show; however, it seems as though Britney Spears has been able to keep herself amused.

The singer, who informed fans yesterday that she has damaged her ankle, took to her Instagram page to share a snap of her support ‘boot’.

In true spirit, Britney decided to forgo the usual 'hospital bed selfie', and instead poked fun at her latest accessory.

 

This boot was made for walkin

Sharing a photo of herself complete with boot, making a walking symbol with her hand, the Toxic singer wrote: “This boot was made for walkin’.”

What a trooper!

Britney damaged her left ankle during a performance on Wednesday night, and broke some bad news to her dedicated followers yesterday.

She continued: “Your kind words mean everything to me! I’m rescheduling this weekend’s shows and will let ya’ll know when we have the new dates xoxo.”

Poor Britney. We’re wishing her a full and speedy recovery.

We reckon Britney Spears may have some big news to announce very soon…

The pop star was spotted with a giant sparkler on her ring finger, prompting speculation that she will be walking up the aisle in the coming months.

Britney is on holiday in Hawaii with her two sons Sean (9) and Jayden (8) as well as her rumoured fiancé, Charlie Ebersol.

Although the couple have only been dating for six months, Britney has made no secret of the fact that she would love to get married again in the future: “I would love to. I believe in the fairy tale.”

If there’s any lady who deserves a happy ending – we reckon it’s Britney!
