Britney Spears has more Twitter followers than Ashton Kutcher.

Apparently, more people care about Britney Spears‘ love for ice cream than Ashton Kutcher‘s sleep schedule: The pop star has officially attracted more followers than the Twitter king himself. (The not-so-final score — Spears: 4,952,552; Kutcher: 4,945,544.) Ashton claims he’s not feeling down about being trumped by Spears — the actor tweeted a response while at a press junket for his upcoming film, The Killers: “2nd most pop Q ‘What do U think about Brittney having more followers than u?’ Answer ‘I don’t care. Aren’t u suppose 2B a movie reporter?’”

Here’s my question: How does one answer questions at a press junket with his head in his phone?

Erin Andrews once boogied with Darrin's Dance Grooves. What music video dance have you always wanted to learn?

Tags: , , , , , , , , , Reality TV, Television

One reason to love Erin Andrews just a little bit more: The ESPN correspondent/Dancing With the Stars contestant once gave a testimonial in an advertisement for Darrin’s Dance Grooves. (See the commercial after the jump.) And anyone who once yearned to learn ‘N SYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” dance automatically gets my vote! (Of course, this is coming from someone who attempted to learn Britney Spears’ “Oops…I Did It Again” dance by spending a half hour rewinding a Will & Grace episode that showed Jack teaching Grace the first steps. Oops…I wasted my time!)

Now here’s the important question: What music video dance have you always wanted to learn? Ten years ago, I somehow taught myself Christina Aguilera’s “Come On Over” using her single — which included a music video and, sadly, no belly rhinestones — and an Indigo iMac, but for whatever reason, neglected to learn Britney’s “(You Drive Me) Crazy.” Now I have an excuse to pick up Darrin’s VHS!

Fuse's 'Top 20 Divas': Where's Cher, Whitney, and everyone else?

I love a diva. So when I saw that Fuse was doing a special titled Top 20 Divas earlier this evening at 6 p.m., I immediately set my DVR to record. Truly, I had no idea what I was getting into: Would this be a video countdown with commentary? A VH1-style special that features talking heads—and sometimes the divas themselves—discussing what makes these Top 20 divas so damned special? A mix of the two?

Well, come to find out, it was just literally 20 videos from divas. But, honestly, it was one of the weirdest countdowns I’ve ever seen. To start with, let’s take a look at the show’s Top 20:

Britney Spears and Russell Brand, reunited. At last?

by
Tags: , , , , , , Television

Britney Spears took a break from helping researchers study Alzheimer’s disease to throw on a big ol’ glamour hat and flirt telepathically with Russell Brand in a new promo for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. It’s such a relief to finally figure out (two versions of) what’s going on in Britney’s head, as we’d previously assumed the transcript was more akin to that which occurs during “Homer Simpson’s undivided attention.” Is this funnier than last year’s “Elephant in the Room” promo, P-Dubs? Are you happy to have more Russell Brand on your radar than yesterday?

Britney Spears on Letterman: Making out-of-context partial nudity work

by
Tags: , , , , , About Last Night, Television

Was it a little awkward when David Letterman pitched to Britney Spears for the Top Ten List last night to see a pre-taped remote shot of the singer perched on a generic desk in a skimpy bikini? Yes. Yes, it was. Especially when the camera held on her a beat too long after the intro, presumably hoping for a lascivious “Wooo!” from an audience that seemed more puzzled than titilated. Spears was a good sport though, switching “from hip to hip while we do this,” per Dave’s joke, and hitting the right notes with a deadpan delivery of the Top Ten Ways the Country Would be Different if Britney Spears Were President, which was basically a series of “dumb blonde” jokes (“We would only invade fun places like Cabo”). Tan, svelte, funny, half-naked (the woman had TWO babies, people), full head of hair, clear eyes, crotch fairly well covered up…all in all a good showing for Le Brit. The comeback continues.

Britney Spears' video of her kids dancing to 'Toxic': Sort of adorable

by
Tags: , , ,

Who among us has never been moved to groove by Britney Spears' "Toxic"? If you raised your hand, please stop lying. That song is an irresistible invitation to dance. And you know who is definitely not immune to that call? Britney's own sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Just check out the clip that Britney recently posted showing the tots getting down to "Toxic" while she was rehearsing in London, below.

I'm sure others will find mean-spirited and patronizing things to say about this video — they always do with Britney, don't they? But I think it's sort of adorable. Hey, if you're growing up as Britney Spears' children, the least you can do is enjoy Mom's music every once in a while. Also, now we know at last who did the choreography for Britney's 2007 VMAs performance. (Sorry! Couldn't resist one piece of snark.) What do you think of this clip?

Britney Spears' new 'If U Seek Amy' video: Eh, it's okay

by
Tags: , ,

Many radio stations are reluctant to even play the barely-a-double-entendre track, but Mizz Spears has gone ahead and made a video for Circus‘s third single, "If U Seek Amy." The clip is set, apparently, at some sort of suburban house party; Vixen Britney (wild extensions, red lips, black bustier) writhes around with sexy extras in the first half, before Wholesome Britney (Marilyn bob, pink sweater set) comes on with a fresh-baked pie and picket-fence family.

And yet, this Amy person — we never meet her. Confounded, I tell you! In fact, though it’s kind of difficult to believe the song’s real meaning will get past even the thickest listener, the video itself is pretty tame…almost disappointingly so. We’ve seen La Brit role-play naughty ‘n’ nice before in clips like "Piece of Me," "Womanizer," and "Oops!…I Did It Again," and this one feels a little thrown together, no?

But PopWatchers, I defer to you: Watch it here and judge for yourself. Are you feeling it? Will you be hitting any of her tour stops, even if Daddy Spears is possibly firing her dancers? Or are you thinking Amy should just keep it in her britches already?

Britney Spears' latest tour snafu: You call this a comeback?

by
Tags: , , , ,

Britneyspears1_lBritney Spears’ father, Jamie Spears, has reportedly fired three of the pop star’s dancers from her Circus tour after they failed a drug test. Last year, Brit’s dad was given legal conservatorship over his daughter following her bizarre behavior and legal battles over custody of her two sons. This latest news seems to indicate that Poppa Spears is taking his role seriously, and is committed to making sure Brit isn’t surrounded by negative influences. That also may bode well for Britney’s climb back to superstardom. Which is not to say she’s going to be scandal-free. On Sunday, Spears experienced an, ahem, wardrobe malfunction on stage in Tampa, Fla. No one seemed to notice until, not realizing her microphone was still on, Spears complained that her "p—- was hanging out." (And sadly, for all of us, not for the first time.)

But what do you think, PopWatchers? Can Britney regain the glory of her early days, or is she just destined to be tabloid fodder for the rest of her life?
