Bells are Ringing Alert™: Wedding #3 for Britney.

Publication: Star
Date: 27 June 2011

Fresh trash tomorrow! Last trash of the week... right now!

Britney Spears used to be a staple of American gossip, but her act got a little stale. She gets more cover stories than Jennifer Lopez, for example, though J. Lo has had more coverage since she started working on American False Idol. Neither of them gets as many covers as Camilla Parker-Bowles, who gets to play the wicked stepmother to Wills'N'Kate, our new Prince Charming and his beloved.

In any case, Star says Brit is getting married for the third time. These reports were denied earlier this month.

Is Britney Spears Coming To Australia?

Britney Spears is about to head off on her 'Femme Fatale' US tour, and here at take40.com we are hoping that she decides to bring the tour down under!

Britney announced on her Twitter account that she would be adding international dates to her tour, but in true Britney style she refused to reveal exactly where she is going.

Britney tweeted, "New tour dates being announced tmw. Stay tuned to see what part of the world my #FemmeFataleTour will be traveling to next tweetiepies --Brit"

While there haven't been any official announcements yet, we've got our fingers cross that Britney will be gracing our shores sometime soon!

Last week Britney specifically reached out to her Australian fans over Facebook. And when Britney posts something on her Twitter or Facebook accounts it usually means something big is happening.

She wrote, "Australia -- what's your favourite song from the new album 'Femme Fatale'?"

We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see exactly where Britney is planning to go.

BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS 2011

Last night, the Billboard Music Awards recognized the artists who have contributed the most to this past year of music. Taking place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the biggest names in music came to Sin City to celebrate their craft. Hosted by funnyman Ken Jeong, the awards were very entertaining the entire three hour broadcast. Performances included Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull and Ne-yo, Lady Antebellum, Ke$ha, Far East Movement f/ Snoop Dogg, Keith Urban, even Neil Diamond amongst others.

And who can forget Beyonce [entire story in itself] and Britney Spears who performed with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. Though I love me some Britney, why is she lip-syncing to everything? It's not like she's dancing her heart out like she used to...check out her cameo in Rihanna's performance!

Damn You Skinny Alert™: Britney Spears back in shape

Publications: People, OK!, Weekly Life & Style, National Enquirer
Date: 30 May 2011

Fresh trash on Thursdays! Four magazines weigh in about Britney Spears' new weight, which is a lot of magazines. In recent months, four or more cover stories in the same week have meant either weddings (Wills'N'Kate, Reese Witherspoon) or crap about The Bachelor. In any case, here are the headlines.

• People: Britney backstage Exclusive photos
• OK!: Britney: How I lost 20 lbs.
• Weekly Life & Style: Britney's hot body
  her diet secrets
• National Enquirer: Britney's new body shocker!
  How she really lost 30 lbs. in 40 days

This is a telling example of how the Enquirer maintains its lead as the Meanest Gossip Rag In America.

'TILL THE WORLD END REMIX FEATURING NICKI MINAJ & KE$HA

I guess another track leaked, what else is new. This time it's the Till the World Ends Remix featuring NICKI MINAJ and KE$HA. Nicki who will be touring with Britney for her upcoming Femme Fatale tour raps in the opening of the song, while Ke$ha who wrote the track for Britney sings the chorus. I like this version a lot better because it has a heavier bass and is more danceable than the original.

SADOMASOCHISM RI-RI-MIX WITH MISS BRITNEY!!!

What better combination can you have that the hottest artists out today?! Rihanna and Britney Spears are showing the music world that Sadomashochism (S&M) is something to be reckoned and they are not afraid to express it. Now you can officially hear Rihanna's smash single S&M Remix with Britney Spears! Check it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W9eHjS3tWk&feature=player_embedded

Rihanna asked her 4.4 million Twitter followers who should she collaborate with on S&M song. "In order to do a remix, it had to be major. I asked my fans last week who they wanted me to collaborate with, and Britney was one of the most popular names." On Elvis Duran and the Morning Show Rihanna explained, "It's very strange: Britney never does features. It was really amazing that she really wanted to be part of this song. She really liked the song to begin with, but it was a different story when she had to sing it, and she really wanted to be a part of it. It made it really special, because you never see two pop female artists doing songs together anymore. Just call us 'R&B.' " [[CLEVER IF I MUST SAY RI RI]]

Though I love the song, it seems Britney's voice is out of sync with Rihanna's. Maybe once the editing is done to make Britney's verse and collaboration in the song more in sync then this could be another smash single to the already popularized version.

BRITNEY SPEARS TOUR IN FULL SWING

Britney Spears: My new life.

Publication: Us Weekly
Date: 18 April 2011

Us has an exclusive interview with Britney Spears, who will be touring this summer to promote her new record, or is it the other way around? In any case, Us writes "Britney opens up about what she's learned, life with her boys & whether she'll marry again."

You So Crazy Alert™: Britney's strange behavior.

Publication: OK!
Date: 18 April 2011

Two stories about about Britney Spears on the covers of the supermarket rags this week, which is the first time since December. The other unusual thing is that the negative story is in OK!, which is generally the nicest of the gossip mags. Their headline reads "Britney's strange behavior".

Bun In The Oven Alert™ and No Bun In The Oven Alert™: Yet more drama about the ovaries of the rich and famous.

Publication: Weekly Life & Style
Date: 11 April 2011

The headline reads BABY DRAMA! and it tells three very different stories.

1. Khloe: heartbroken over not getting pregnant

If you are going to have a multiple baby drama story on the cover of a supermarket rag, it's nearly required one of the stories will be about a Kardashian.

2. Britney: Baby #3 on the way

This story has been denied.

3. Kim Zolciak: Attacked by NeNe, "I fear for my baby"

From what I hear from commenter #1 Karen Zipdrive, NeNe is pretty damned scary.

For More News About: Britney Spears

90s fashion

(English below)

Aparentemente o assunto sobre a Elaine de Seinfeld ser um fashion icon não vai sair de circulação tão cedo... Essa matéria que o Cultist fez ficou ótima: super engraçada, com análise crítica relevante e dando já dicas das tendências que estão por vir. Apesar de muita gente no Brasil não saber quem é Blossom, dá pra ver que o look é bem "Elaine-inspired", então nem tem muita novidade aí. Agora, o que me supreendeu foi a falta do "Spice Girls fashion" que rolou no final dos anos 90. Aquelas plataformas de drag queen, excesso de glitter no rosto e na roupa, cabelos alisados até o máximo, tons pastéis com mais tons pastéis, calças cargo três tamanhos acima pra mulheres... Espero que não volte (e por isso nem foi mencionado), mas se o auge dos 80 voltou, duvido que esse também não vai voltar...

as meninas do "Patricinhas de Beverly Hills", Britney e sua barriga, Blossom, a moda "hip hop" e Courtney Love no seu melhor estilo "heroin-chic"

Clueless, Britney and her stomach, Blossom, hip hop fashion and Courtney Love doing heroin-chic

Apparently the "Elaine style icon" subject won't leave the fashion media anytime soon. This piece done by the Cultist is one of the best I've read recently: funny, has some decent analysis and is already pointing towards some trends that might show up in the near future. But what surprised me was the non-mentioning of the "Spice Girl fashion" from the late 90s. Those drag queen shoes, excess glitter (on clothing and in face), poker straight hair, overtly sweet pastels, cargo pants three sizes too big for women... I seriously hope they don't come back but if the most crazy trends from the 80s managed to come back, I'm pretty sure the forecast is bleak.

newsroll! 13/07/2010

Já faz um tempinho que não rola um newsroll, então vamos às notícias! It's been a while since i've done a newsroll post, so let's jump into what's been happening at the fashion world:

- George Clooney tem uma linha de roupas maculinas e femininas? Pois é, não tem não - mas alguns italianos bem que tentaram usar seu nome... / Does George Clooney have a menswear and womenswear clothing line? No, he doesn't - but that doesn't mean that some italians didn't try to do it under his name...;

- a Prada SpA - holding dona da Prada, Miu Miu, Jil Sander, Helmut Lang, parte da Fendi, entre outras - conseguiu um empréstimo de 360 milhões de euros. A intenção da holding é expandir suas marcas e talvez abrir seu capital no início de 2012. Para os que não entendem nada da área financeira, é super normal tudo isso. Não saiam comprando bolsas por aí achando que a marca vai fechar! / Prada SpA - the holding that controls Prada, Miu Miu, Jil Sander, Helmut Lang, part of Fendi, among other brands - has secured a loan of 360 million euros. The holding wishes to expand its brands and possibly a public offering at the beginning of 2012. And if you don't understand squat of finance, this is all very normal business. Don't start piling up on bags thinking that everything will be "collector's items"!;

- Um sketch seu visto por mais de 45 mil pessoas - o que acha? Então desenhe uma roupa para Fifi Lapin usar no lançamento de seu livro! / A sketch of yours seen by some 45 thousand people - what do you think? Then design an outfit to Fifi Lapin to wear on her book launch party!;

a coelhinha mais fashion do mundo - the world's most fashionable bunny

- A Avon comprou uma marca de jóias feitas em prata por 650 milhões de dólares. A Silpada, assim como a Avon, vende suas peças através de "representantes". Será que agora compraremos maquiagem e jóias de uma vez só? / Avon has bought a jewelry brand for 650 million dollars. Silpada, like Avon, sells its products through "representatives". I wonder if now we'll buy our jewelry with our make-up...;

- Christian Lacroix vai fazer dinheiro - literalmente. Ele foi apontado para ser o designer da Monnaie de Paris! / Christian Lacroix will make money - literally. He was nominated head designer for the Monnaie de Paris;


- aparentemente Lindsay Lohan apareceu em uma de suas audiências com uma manicure em tie-dye invejável, inclusive com um microscópico "fuck you" escrito nas unhas dos dedos médios (esse já nem tão invejável assim). Para saber como se faz o tie-dye nas unhas (e o fuck you), é só entrar no Fashionista / Apparently, Lindsay Lohan was sporting an enviable tie-dye manicure - and a not so enviable "fuck you" on her middle fingers. To know how the manicure was done (and also the F-U), just visit Fashionista;

Lindsay: as unhas diferentes e o "detalhinho - the manicure and the "detail"

- Você sabia que existe um African Fashion Week? Nem eu... mas acontece nesse momento em Nova York e parece interessantíssimo! / Do you know there is an African Fashion Week? Me neither... but it's happening right now at NYC and it seems very interesting to have a further look;


- entrevista com a *fashionista-queridinha-do-momento*, Anna dello Russo. Nada contra o estilo da moça (que é ótimo), mas saber que ela só usa as roupas uma vez só me dá ânsia. Mesmo sendo filha do Bill Gates e über-fashionista, existem pessoas morrendo de fome, ok? E olha que pra eu falar uma frase "commie" dessas, é porque o negócio tá *feio*. / An interview with *fashionista-of-the-moment* Anna dello Russo. Nothing against the lady and her style (which is great), but to know that she just uses her outfits once makes me nauseous. Even if I were Bill Gates' daughter and über-fashionista, there are people starving in the world, ok? For me to be saying this (which I consider a very "suburban comunist appeal") is probably because you're waaaaay out of line, sister;

- Será que esse pessoal não aprende não? Agora é a vez do rosto de Britney Spears ser colado em outra pessoa para a capa da Cosmopolitan norte-americana de agosto... / Don't these people ever learn? Now it's Britney Spears' turn to have her face pasted into someone else's body for the cover of August's US Cosmo;

curso de Photoshop pra vocês, hein... - you seriously need a Photoshop class, guys...

-  Roberto Cavalli vai lançar um perfume em celebração dos 40 anos de sua marca. / Roberto Cavalli will lauch a new fragrance to celebrate his brand's 40 year anniversary;


- TENDÊNCIA: a Vans criou dois tipos de tênis em colaboração com a Pendleton (marca britânica especializada em lã) e com o artista Taka Hayashi. Os novos tênis foram mostrados semana passada na Bread & Butter e pode ter certeza que daqui a pouco vocês vão vê-los por aí nos pés dos fashionistas. / TREND: Vans has created two new sneakers in collaboration with British wool maven brand Pendleton and artist Taka Hayashi. The new sneakers were first seen last week at Bread & Butter and you can be sure they'll soon be seen in all fashionista's feet;

- A Nike lançou um híbrido de tênis com galochas - sim, é verdade. / Nike has launched a hybrid of sneakers and wellies. Yeah, I'm not kidding.

aparentemente vende no Japão... - it seems to sell in Japan...
