Britney Spears has cemented herself in the role as the biggest ever come-back queen, nabbing seven nominations at this year’s MTV Awards.

While seven noms isn’t quite the record this year – both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have nine apiece – it’s made even more remarkable, given Spears’ disastrous return to the VMA stage just two years ago.

I’m sure no one could forget Spears’ half-assed, drunken attempt at performing in 2007. At the time, she was ridiculed to the nth degree and labeled as a lost cause, but the pop star bounced back – thanks in no small part to the conservatorship put in place by her father – and is now leading the pack once again.

It is not known yet whether Brit will perform at this year’s awards ceremony – let’s face it, after Vegas, it’s highly unlikely. Those stars already on the roster include country music sensation Taylor Swift, Australia’s favourite Pink, and rockers Green Day and Muse.

Russell Brand will again play host, with the VMA’s going live from New York’s Radio City Music Hall on September 13.

Britney Spears will soon be free to lead a frivilous life once more, with rumours surfacing that Daddy-O is set to release her from the binds of her conservatorship.

Sources have revealed that father Jamie Spears will soon ask the court to “review the terms” of the conservatorship after Spears worldwide Circus concert tour ends in November.

While Mr. Spears has no say on whether or not the conservatorship should be ended, he can ask for a review, which will them prompt the judge to re-evaluate his decision to place the pop singer under such strict parental and financial care.

Spears has been under the care of her father since he first took control of her estate and person in February 2008, after Britney’s multiple admissions into the psych ward at Cedars Sinai Medical Centre.

Mischa Barton has been placed under psychiatric hold by the LAPD after an incident in her Los Angeles home on Wednesday, an LAPD spokesperson has confirmed.

“We responded to her home last night on a medical issue,” April Harding, of the Los Angeles Police Department, told Usmagazine.com. “We assisted with it. She was removed from her home.”

Harding explained that Barton called 911 sometime on Wednesday, seemingly “in distress. When asked by the press if the 23-year-old had been cooperative, Harding replied, “I guess.”

Due to California privacy laws, the officer would not reveal the location of Barton’s hospitalisation; however, it is believed that the former O.C. actress was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold – better known at 5150 – and then transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center (the same place Britney Spears was held involunatarily twice in early 2008).

A source close to Barton says the actress had a “freak out” before calling for police assistance.

The actress was supposed to be attending the New York premiere of her new movie, Homecoming, tonight, but has since pulled out of the event.

Britney Spears has added fuel to the fire of the rumours of her engagement by considering coverting to Juadism, according to reports.

Spears’ boyfriend Jason Trawick is Jewish, and the pop star is so eager to show her commitment to him that she’s taken to wearing a Star of David necklace and even recruited a Rabbi to help her better understand his faith.

A source revealed: “Britney wants to try the religion Jason was brought up with.”

According to the source, Spears could be looking at tying the knot again – with Trawick – as most non-Jewish spouses only consider a conversion to Judaism before they marry someone from the faith (the most recent example of this being Aussie Isla Fisher’s conversion before marrying Sasha Baron Cohen).

What do you think: is Britney getting ready to get hitched, or is she simply looking to start the next wave of celebrity religious conversions?

Pop star Britney Spears has made light of the number of recent celebrity deaths, jokingly posting a notice of her own passing to her official Twitter account moments ago.

The Womanizer singer, who has just announced plans to tour Australia for the first time in her career, posted a picture of a rudimentary black cross via TwitPic, with the caption: “Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come.”

This tweet comes hours after American television pitchman Billy Mays was found dead in his Tampa home, and days after Hollywood lost the shining lights of Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Ed McMahon.

UPDATE: The tweet has since been removed from Spears’ official Twitter page. No doubt her management got wind of the tweet and removed it before it could offend any members of those families who’ve lost loved ones over the last week.

UPDATE # 2: It appears Britney Spears’ Twitter account was hacked earlier today, and the offensive tweet was posted by an unknown hacker. Twitter has since disabled the ability to upload mobile photos via TwitPic.

Recently served Sam Lutfi has started to bite back against Britney Spears, filing a lawsuit against Brit and her parents claiming they began a campaign of slander, libel and defamation aimed as discrediting, destroying and physically and emotionally intimidating him in order to drive him out of her life.

Sounds about right.

I think anything that gets this guys tentacles out of her life and business affiars is a worthwhile move; she wasn’t exactly doing all that well under his command. [Source]

In a strange coincidence, the day after I posted my story about Celebrities On Twitter, one or two of them had their Twitter accounts hacked.

Staralicious’ friend, Britney was one of the more high profile celebrities to succumb to the hack, in which the hacker posted sexually explicit tweets on Britney’s Twitter feed.

While the hack actually was caused by a hacker getting access to a Twitter employee’s account, giving him access to usernames and passwords on Twitter, it seems Britney’s crew were not too happy about the situtation.

Lauren Kozak, Britney’s social media manager was writing most of the updates her Twitter feed, but it seems her days are numbered, with tweets down and an ad being placed for a new social media manager.

If you think this may be just the job for you, then you may need to get your Harvard degree out of mothballs.

The job is currently being advertised on a Harvard job board. You can read the ad below:

10. Milla Jovovich. There is just something about Milla; I am not sure if it has anything to do with her nude scenes in the resident Evil movies, but she qualifies for the Milf Top 10.

9. Britney Spears has slimmed down, grown some hair and is looking hot again. Sure, she still has a few issues, but that doesn’t stop her rating a 9 on the Milfofmeter.

8. Kate Hudson, just doesn’t seem to age and still looks as good as she did prior to milfdom.

7. Salma Hayek is addicted to breast feeding, so we both have something in common.

6. Christina Aguilera always looks classy, even when she is hammered.

5. Gwen Stefani has the best abs and legs on the list.

4. Katie Holmes is looking better as she ages. Being married to Tom hasn’t damaged her looks at all.

3. Naomi Watts really has the blond milf look going on.

2. Halle Berry come a very close tie for the number one spot.

1. Kate Beckinsale has what every milf should have and what every milfman wants.

Some notable omissions form the list include, Angelina Jolie and Madonna. I omitted them simply because I think they are ugly…..

Britney ‘Toxic Spears’ had one of her biggest hits with ‘Toxic’ when it was released from her fourth studio album ‘In the Zone’. It was released as the album’s second single in early 2004. “Toxic” enjoyed critical acclaim and international success, topping many singles charts around the world. In 2005 it won the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording, giving Britney her first Grammy ever.

Check out the video of ‘Toxic’ below.

For the first time since splitting with Britney in November of 2006, Kevin Federline has come clean and told what he says is “his” side of the story.

The wannabe rapper spoke candidly to People magazine about his tumultuous last couple of years, dishing the dirt on everything from ex-wife Britney Spears, to his children, and that now infamous night when Spears locked herself in a bathroom with their youngest son and threatened suicide.

P: Do you remember when you first met Britney?

K: I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away. I learned real fast how much of a whirlwind the press and everything was.

P: What are your happiest memories of the marriage?

K: Well, getting married. I never thought that I would get married but it wound up happening. That was a really, really, happy, exciting moment. I pretty much realized that I was giving my life to her, and I was doing it without question.

P: What went wrong?

K: It’s hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For me, I’d become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important… I mean, we were having complications. I didn’t give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn’t even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided.

P: A lot of people assumed you fought for custody of the kids because of money.

K: My first question to [my lawyer] was, “Am I ever going to be able to see my children?” I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That’s all that mattered. I didn’t know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.

P: How did you react in January when Britney locked herself in the bathroom with Jayden and was later taken to the hospital on a gurney?

K: That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her ’cause I care about her. That’s the mother of my children. Just because I’m not in love with her doesn’t mean that I don’t love her. I’m definitely rooting for her. There’s nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.

P: Are things getting better?

K: Oh, man, it’s totally turning around. It works out that [the kids] get to see her. There’s structure over there, there’s structure at my house. We’re trying to keep the same type of schedule. It doesn’t have to be completely perfect, but the foundation is there.
