My Top 3 from Circus:

Circus
Mannequin
Phonography

Is there still no word on why Mannequin had such a comprehensive choreography routine put together that was rehearsed like it was for a performance?

Literally made me want to watch this trainwreck of a creation.

It sure looks based off of Britney and Sam Lutfi.

I wonder if someone reached out to her for permission? They had to at least for the song usage, correct?

She is not credited as a writer or producer on "Gimme More" so I don't think they would have to.

Iconic.

As disastrous and mostly muddled of a record Britney Jean has always been I just gotta say Perfume has aged really well, came up on shuffle earlier and it still hits.

It’s well-written, has good vocals and gave us one of Britney’s most cinematic videos. I will always stan “Perfume”.

[Ryan]

Criminal has surpassed 200 million streams on Spotify.

[Marooned@Midnight]

Britney gets a shout out in the Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 post-credits scene. She’s mentioned as the favorite artist of one of the guardians. Along with Korn. All the TRL vibes.

[J'back]

I’ve been on a Britney kick lately. Listening to her talk about the conservatorship and stuff and it’s made me a bigger fan.

So I was so happy to see Beyonce added a bit of Toxic on her tour.

My guess is Timberlake and maybe Christina? 👀


Britney Spears’ ‘brutally honest’ book delayed over concern from A-listers:

Britney Spears’ “brutally honest” memoir has been put on hold over concerns from some A-listers who know her, according to a new report.

The US Sun reported Sunday that the tome’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, received “strongly worded legal letters” from those who fear what the “Toxic” singer has written.

“Britney is brutally honest in the book — there are a lot of nervous A-listers,” an insider told the outlet.

“Strongly worded legal letters have been sent to the publishers by people who know Britney and who fear what she has written.”

The source added that not only is there “no movement” on the book “at the moment,” but there are also new concerns over when “it will eventually be able to come out.”

Although the report didn’t name names, Spears, 41, famously dated Justin Timberlake and was married to Kevin Federline.

Her wedding to Sam Asghari also featured plenty of A-list attendees, including Madonna, Paris Hilton, Selena Gomez and more.

Reps for Simon & Schuster as well as Spears didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

[Daenerys]

I think Christina and Justin are easy gimmes. But Britney's been around awhile and likely has seen somethings. It wouldn't surprise me if there are others. There's so much that could potentially spill out about a number of famous acts. Especially during the early 00's when she was meeting with Directors every few months trying to break back into film after the poorer performance of Crossroads.

She had short stints on Glee, Will & Grace, and How I Met Your Mother from 2006 - 2010, so she could spill something there too. She also has likely seen some stuff while in Vegas. The Lou Taylor stuff could also paint some unsavory stuff on the Kardashians, Meghan Trainer, and potentially some of Larry's other managing acts. There's also X Factor and label mates she's experienced from Jive and RCA.

There's just no telling.

Sam looks TIRED. I can't imagine dealing with all the BS while trying to be a good husband.

On Instagram he says that he is away a month at a time filming shows / movies. I don’t get why Britney doesn’t go with him at least sometimes?

[Ivy Leegue™]

Britney can't be the loving, supportive wife, hanging out in Sam's trailer or on set while he is filming. Not only would she be a major distraction, but also a liability, at this point.

Britney's also had way better choreographies than ...Baby One More Time.

I'd actually say of the dance sets from her debut both Crazy and Born To Make You Happy seem better.

But they also have Beyonce and Jennifer above Janet, which is a troll move anyway.

Yes. It’s also the best and most intricate choreography here.

I always thought it was interesting that once they added Madonna to the track on “Me Against the Music” they also redid the choreography.

[Ivy Leegue™]

Lynne paid Britney a visit that supposedly lasted about 30 minutes, allowing Britney to speak her mind, which I'm sure was cathartic for her. I hope they are able to heal their relationship. As someone who lost his estranged biological father this week unexpectedly and never got the chance to repair a lifetime of hurt, I understand the necessity of at least a conversation for closure, if nothing else.

[Choco]

Lynne in my opinion seems like someone who didn't necessarily agree with everything that happened but was a coward or complacent to whatever the father said. I could understand Britney trying to build a bridge to fix their relationship.

[Ling-Ling]

Seeing Justin Guarini dancing his ass off to "Circus" was not on my bingo card for this year, lol. This whole musical seems kinda bizarre tbh, but I hope it drives some attention back to her discography.



These are the songs featured:

Act I:

"...Baby One More Time"
"Make Me..."
"Lucky"
"Work Bitch"
"Boys" / "Pretty Girls"
"Circus"
"Sometimes"
"Oops!...I Did It Again"
"From the Bottom of My Broken Heart"
"I'm a Slave 4 U" / "Piece of Me"
"Womanizer"
"Scream & Shout"
"I Wanna Go"

Act II:

"(You Drive Me) Crazy"
"Lucky (Reprise)"
"Cinderella"
"Toxic"
"Everytime"
"If I'm Dancing"
"Stronger"
"I Wanna Go (Reprise)"
"Passenger"
"Till the World Ends (Megamix)"

The Little Mermaid and Rapunzel sing "If I'm Dancing." Like how? lol

[Ivy Leegue™]

What is this?! I will pay top dollar.

It's in previews right now on Broadway, opens June 22nd. It's a Britney jukebox musical called Once Upon A One More Time. I'm not sure of the plot tbh, but it involves classic fairy tale characters.

[Ivy Leegue™]

Nice! I wanna check it out next time I am in NYC! I hope it's successful!
