Staff Web Pick of the Week:
Britney Spears (pictured, right), "Kill the Lights"
Watch out, paparazzi: Britney’s coming for you! This newly-leaked track from her next album sounds a lot like her last single, "Womanizer" — except the melody’s a whole lot catchier and the beat’s got even more bounce.

I think this is a waste of PopWatch space when all this information is in the magazine. What’s the point of having the maagzine and paying the subscription fees if you are going to post everything on-line. I come to PopWatch to get content I don’t find in latest issue.
Kaiulani, I could not agree with you more. Every week I look through EW the magazine and about half of the content has already been read online. Sometimes I think its such a waste of money to pay for a subscription when I can read most of it for free online.
So have you ever wanted to try to make your facebook page unique? It’s pretty hard considering you can’t change colours of your background or text. I decided to do some research and see if I could add some cool pictures or something to make my profile stand out,than I came across a site http://www.hypster.com that let you make a free account and add music players to your facebook page! not only that but you can change the colours to! so not only will your new facebook profile be playing one of your favourite songs but it will be your favourite colour or colours! please take a look! And if you don’t have facebook, this site’s codes also work for myspace, bebo, piczo etc. take a look at http://www.hypster.com
I don’t see a problem with posting this because this area is meant for discussion. I don’t get the benefit of hearing your thoughts when you read the article. Plus, it is Wednesday, and this is in the latest issue. It is not like you spoiling something.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that starting around Thursday/Friday you are starting to get magazine content. I just don’t read it.
Finally, guess what, magazines and newspapers are dying, and everything will be online soon enough. So quit being grumpy and embrace it.
