Ann Mincieli has confirmed that he’s working with Max Martin on a new song for Britney Spears.Max is the brain behind of “Baby One More time” and the latest “If U Seek Amy” success so the new song has a big chance to be a hit too.

Britney Spears has already conquered North America with “The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour,” and this summer, the pop star will take her concert carnival across the Atlantic.

In addition to her previously announced eight nights at London’s O2 Arena, Brit announced plans to take “Circus” all over Europe on her Web site Tuesday. The pop star will kick off the European leg of her tour starting June 3 in London.

On Tuesday, a judge ordered Britney Spears‘ former self-styled manager Sam Lutfi to stay away from the pop star for three years, after the singer’s father accused Lutfi of trying to undermine the conservatorship Spears lives under.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aviva Bobb also issued the same order to attorney Jon Eardley, who has presented himself as Spears’ lawyer.

There has been widespread speculation that Britney Spears would be joined onstage by Madonna at her upcoming New York concert. The reports began when David Alexander, claiming to be Britney’s stylist, said that Madonna was set to join the star at a series of shows, in support of Brit’s Circus Tour.

Rumours were further fuelled when Madonna made a surprise visit to watch the Toxic singer last week at New York’s Nassau Coliseum, although she did not join her onstage.

Pop star Britney Spears has been working for months to get back into stage shape and put a new show together. She’s ready to go on tour … but a new problem has come up: ticket sales are in the crapper.

According to insiders, there are still PLENTY of tickets available for the tour’s opening date on March 3 in New Orleans.

Britney Spears is back in shape, rehearsing, dancing and getting ready for The Circus world tour. But the biggest change in her life is that she has obtained new restraining orders against ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib and former friend/manager Sam Lutfi.

A source close to Spears, told the AP that the two men had been trying to gain control of the singer’s affairs away from her father, Jamie. Lufti and Ghalib had been central figures in her life when she had her famous breakdown a year ago.

Kevin Federline has revealed details about his life with superstar ex-wife Britney Spears in an exclusive interview with People magazine.

They gave the “dad of the year” dude the cover shot, posing him with his sons. Federline gives his side of the story about this crazy year Britney had, including what went through his mind when she flipped out during her troubled period and locked herself in a room with toddler son Jayden.

Britney Spears had to rush her two-year-old son Jayden to a hospital emergency room in Mississippi on Sunday afternoon after he suffered a suspected seizure. News reports say the toddler “collapsed” at the home in Kentwood, Louisiana. He was admitted and kept overnight for observation.

Baby daddy Kevin Federline will be flying in from his home in Los Angeles to join his ex-wife at their son’s hospital bedside.

Britney Spears‘ father Jamie Spears was granted a permanent conservatorship over her personal and financial affairs yesterday in court. He had been managing her finances on a temporary conservatorship basis, which was set to expire on December 31, but it’s been determined that it’s best for Brit to have a manager she can trust.

Us Magazine reports: “After a lengthy closed-chambers meeting Tuesday and evaluation of her mental health records, Spears’ court-appointed attorney told the court commissioner that the singer had no objections with her father remaining in control.”

Adnan Ghalib is still a douche and he’s back since his name is in the news again. The rumor of him trying to find a buyer for a 2-hour sex tape that features Britney Spears is getting bounced around the nets and he’s come out to say it isn’t true and didn’t come from him.

While allegedly speaking to Heat magazine, Adnan admitted that he not only owns a sex tape featuring the “Toxic” singer, but he plans to sell it as soon as an acceptable offer comes along.
