Uh-oh -- is it time to start worrying about Britney again?

The pop princess has dyed her goldilocks back to brown -- and every time she does that it's usually to match her darkening mood.

But maybe she's just in need of change -- or her new guy likes brunettes.

Do you like Brit's new 'do?

Britney Spears was only 10 when she competed on Star Search, but the experience left her with nothing but positive memories of the show's host Ed McMahon.

News of Ed's death came yesterday, and Britney took time out to pay tribute to the man who helped give her a break in the business.

"I am deeply saddened by today's news about Ed McMahon," she Tweeted. "He is responsible for giving so many artists their first shot, including myself. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed."

Leave it to Star to break "the news" that Britney Spears is getting ready to walk down the aisle with her agent-turned-boyfriend, Jason Trawick.

The tabloid is splashing Brit and Jason on the cover of their new issue -- and even giving details to what the proposal was like.

"He didn't exactly get down on one knee, but Brit didn't care. She said yes, and they opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate," an insider reportedly told the mag. "Jason held Britney for a long time and kissed her cheeks. They talked about their future for hours and didn't go to sleep until after 3 a.m.! They just wanted to be alone together."

Um, ok. Too bad another source told People.com that it's all bunk. "There's no truth to it at all. Britney is not engaged."

Don't be running out to Bed, Bath & Beyond just yet -- but, knowing Brit, she could have a new hubby sooner than later.

Britney's coming back again, bitches!

The pop star has announced that she will be taking her Circus tour on a second round of North American cities starting on August 20. Brit will even hit NYC's Madison Square Garden -- which means I am so going again!

The Toxic singer will close big -- ending on September 27 with a pair of shows at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

"I'm so excited to bring the Circus back to North America. I've made some really cool changes to the show that I think my fans are really going to love," Brit wrote on her website. "I also get to bring the show to some new cities we missed the first time around."

I have been in desperate need of some Britney Spears gossip!

It looks like little ol' Brit has a new special someone -- and he comes in the form of her agent, Jason Trawick. What's even better is that her family seems to actually like him.

That's gotta be a switch.

"They are totally and definitely dating," a source confirmed to People.com. "Her dad loves him. He's the best thing that happened to her."

Jason has been a staple in Brit's life for sometime now, as he is her older brother Bryan's best friend. Also, the insider says that Britney has always had a crush on Jase.

"They're very sweet together. He makes Britney really happy, and he's great with the boys."

This is great news! So happy Brit has found some normal dude to hang with. Let's hope it lasts!

Happy Friday! Here's little sweetness to start your day.

Britney Spears' boys, Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2, showed off some of their own moves during rehearsal for Brit's Circus show in London Tuesday.

They are freakin' adorable! Enjoy!

Britney Spears will be heading to London for her Circus tour this summer, and Star has got their hands on the pop star's interesting list of hotel demands.

While staying at the Dorchester Hotel, Britney insists that she be given a room that has "never" been smoked in at all with humidifiers in all areas.

Um, didn't she used to smoke like a chimney? Is she trading her body for one that's never been smoked in too?

Anyway, Britney will be bringing her own pillows (she's not taking any chances) but wants the lighting in her room to be bright --- 100 watt bulbs only, please. She has demanded that fresh flowers be delivered as well and, for entertainment purposes, has asked for tons of magazines, chick-lit novels, and Marilyn Monroe movies. 

Oh yeah, and she wants to be able to ride horses.

Definitely a change from the Cheeto-eating-Slurpee-drinking days of old.

Britney Spears got a little bit of a surprise during her Circus concert Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, when a pretty determined fan jumped up on stage and started to dance with the pop star. 

Britney was performing "Womanizer," when 20-year-old Kyle King ran on stage and stood right in front of her. The backup dancers did their best to usher the fan off -stage but Britney looked like she was pretty spooked, and needed a few seconds before getting back into the dance routine.

A detective with the Connecticut State Police told E! News that Kyle was arrested for breach of peace and was released on $250 cash bond. He is expected at Norwich Superior Court on June 18.

Jeez, what a clown.

Britney Spears' one-time creepy manager/stalker has been ordered to stay away from the singer for the next three years.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aviva Bobb ruled that the temporary restraining order issued in January go permanent. Sam must stay at least 100 yards away from Brit, her boys, and her family members' homes, and must not harass her and her children, or contact them through phone, mail and email. It also prohibits him from "acting on Ms. Spears' behalf or purporting to act on her behalf."

Of course Sam isn't just giving up. What stalker ever does?

Bryan Freedman, Sam's attorney, told People.com: "We absolutely will appeal this ruling. Never before in history has a restraining order been issued against someone who answered another person's cries for help.

Ugh! Dude, give it up! Move on -- find someone else -- get a hobby.

A woman has been arrested for sneaking into Britney Spears' private Calabasas community and peeping through her windows.

Miranda Tozier-Robbins, dressed in camouflage, and carrying a backpack and video camera, was spotted by security Thursday afternoon, roaming suspiciously outside Brit's house. According to the incident report, officers asked her to leave, but the woman "balked at their requests" and had to be physically escorted off the property. 

The police were called and the fan was arrested on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. Bail was set at $5,000, and Miranda is due back in court on June 16.

Britney wasn't home at the time of the incident.

Stalkers creep me out.

Wondering who Britney Spears is crushing on these days? Well, sources say it's backup dancer Chase Benz (the guy to her immediate left in this photo).

According to Us Weekly, Brit has been flirting with Chase "a lot. Everyone on tour has noticed."

But the whole scenario is just a little too familiar for Brit's dad, Jamie Spears. An insider says the pop "isn't happy about it, because the fact that he's a backup dancer makes it feel like Kevin Federline all over again."

And adding to the parental discontent is Chase's mom, who tells the mag, "Chase is not dating Britney. He has a girlfriend. He is a good Christian."

Sorry, I just had to giggle at that last line.

Britney Spears walked off the stage after 15 minutes of her Circus concert in Vancouver last night, supposedly due to a smoky arena.

According to the Vancouver Sun, an announcement was made to the crowd reminding them to quit being butt heads. "The building is awfully smoky. It is uncomfortable for everyone on stage, including Ms. Spears. Please extinguish all cigarettes - this is a non-smoking building, and the show will resume when the smoke on the stage is cleared."

The interruption was met by "boos" from the crowd and left the fans "really pissed off. The break in the concert ruined it for everyone. The vibe was gone."

Brit returned 30 minutes later and continued to sing and dance, but took another break two songs later. When she finished up with "Womanizer," the singer told her audience, "Vancouver, don't smoke weed."

Brit's publicist told the Associated Press, "Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue."

Riiiight. Crew members were getting sick from pot smoke. Seriously? She couldn't come up with something more believable than that?

See more of Britney's outrageous moments!

Sam Lufti's sister testified yesterday in court for a hearing regarding the restraining order against her brother, and said that she snuck a cell phone to Britney, so that the pop star could get in contact with her former manager behind her dad's back -- and that this little sneaky plan was all Brit's idea!

"[Britney] told me she wanted to get a hold of Sam," Christina Lufti, 25, told the court. "She wanted him to help her find a lawyer, and wanted someone to get a prepaid cell phone to her. She was scared because her father was blackmailing her with visitation rights over her kids."

Brit and Christina supposedly met in a sauna in a hotel gym, where the girl gave Britney a cell phone, telling her it was from Sam and the pop star's ex Adnan Ghalib. Britney hid the phone in her locker and, according to Christina, asked, "Will Sam be able to help me?'"

The phone was later found by Brit's security guard and taken away (like she's some criminal -- or a baby!).

Jamie Spears' laywer Blair Berk is singing a different tune. The attorney says Britney "was in such fear [of Sam], she asked if I could get him arrested, to keep him away from her," and denies that the singer was seeking outside legal help.

Sam's legal rep says his client was doing nothing but being Britney's good bud. "Sam's only crime was trying to help out a friend," Bryan Freedman told People.com. "When someone asks for your help, that person is obviously not scared of you or in need of a restraining order."

Hmmmm, who to believe? I always got a creepy feeling from Sam, and Jamie has come out of all of this smelling like a rose, but things aren't always as they seem, I guess.

Here's Britney Spears' new sexy summer ad for the Candie's line.

Look at those stems! Yeah, I know -- I'm sure they're Photoshopped too, but I'm pretty sure she looks damn hot in real life as well.

"I had so much fun shooting the Candie's for Kohl's campaign," Britney gushed about the duds. "I got to wear the cutest clothes and they are perfect for summer!"

They do look pretty perfect...

Two roadies on Brit's Circus tour were arrested in Pennsylvania after one of the men got into a fight. When the police tried to break up the scuffle, the two members of Brit's crew took on the cops.

DUMB!

The cops actually needed to tase one of the guys, while the other way had to be chased down by the officers.

"Both [men] had very strong odors of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes," police said in a statement. "[They] will be charged with aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, simple assault, public drunkenness and possible additional charges."

What did Britney have to say about the actions of these two morons?

Well, an entry on her blog stated that these men were "two employees of a company contracted to provide equipment for The Circus [tour] and were not employees of the singer. The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour does not support or tolerate this type of behavior."

If Britney is keeping on her best behavior (and we know how hard that must be) her peeps could try and do the same, don't ya think?

Well, we could debate that point for years but, regarding legal fees, it came to about $417,000!

Yikes!

The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that Britney's meltdown/comeback has sucked $2.7 million in legal fees out of her fortune -- with a good part of it going to the split from her ex and their custody battle.

Jamie Spears' lawyers filed a document Monday spilling the bad news. Fees were split among 17 lawyers and firms -- including a cool million just for Britney's own legal representation. That amount, said the attorneys, covered the "complex and challenging" aspects of getting Brit back on top.

"Since the initiation of the conservatorship, as a result of the concerted efforts of Mr. Spears as well as the professionals involved, all aspects of Ms. Spears's life have been stabilized and continue to improve," lawyer Geraldine Wyle wrote. She added that the singer's mental health continued "to mend," that she had regained "substantial visitation" with her children and that her career "has been revitalized."

So, how long, you think, before she makes that money back -- like a day or two? 

I'm liking this story.

Let me take you back to 2003, when Limp Bizkit bad boy Fred Durst was all into Britney Spears, saying on his website that he had "never felt this  way" about a girl before.

Too bad Britney denied that they were ever a couple.

Anyway, Fred is back to swearing what he had with the pop star was real -- telling MTV news, "It just became a fiasco of madness. "[But] I always stay true to my heart and true to everything I did and my intentions, and I am in no way a liar."

Britney told the British version of Glamour that this so-called fling was all Fred. "I think him for me, but not me for him," she told the mag. "He's said some pretty amazing things about me. But, um, I think he leaped in too deep, too quick."

Burn.

But, Fred is chalking up Brit's version of what happened to her bouts of nuttiness. 

"I look back on it as very interesting [in terms of] how things have been sort of unraveling for her since," he says. "[But] it is what it is. I can sleep at night knowing I made decisions that I wanted to make. [Still] I'm a supporter. I was then, I guess I am now."

"I just guess at the time it was taboo for a guy like me to be associated with a gal like her," he adds.

Sounds like someone still a little bit sweet on Ms. Spears, no? She does like those womanizers.

A judge has ordered that the paparazzo in not allowed to be near Brit -- for the next three years!

There was already a temporary restraining order in place that was keeping Adnan from his former love but, when he decided not to show up for a court hearing today, the judge made the injunction permanent.

Too bad, so sad, bye-bye.

I was under Britney's Big Top!

That's right, I had the pleasure of seeing Britney's Circus concert front and center at the Prudential Center in beautiful Newark, New Jersey Saturday night -- and what a show it was.

Though I don't think Britney sang one lick -- the music was pretty much all pre-recorded except for the few backup singers that sang along -- the show itself was pretty cool. Tons of circus performers entertained the screaming crowd before and in between sets, and the sets and effects were really fun. My fave visual was when Brit sang "Everytime" (her apology to Justin, says my BFF and date for the night, D). The pop star was perched on this glittery umbrella chair thingy in the air -- looking like a fairy princess. Loved it.

The Britster also looked awesome -- her body is better than ever -- and she danced like the Britney of old. Though I was far from the biggest Britney fan in the crowd, I have to admit that I squealed just a tad when she performed "Baby, One More Time.

All in all, even though most of the time I pay to see someone actually sing in concert, I kinda didn't care that Brit lip-synched. The entertainment was there -- and I definitely got my money's worth.  

Britney's back, bitches, and she is looking good! The pop star's brand new tour kicked off last night in New Orleans, with Brit commanding, what looked like, an actual three-ring circus.

Fans went wild (I will be doing the same on March 14) for the comeback kid, who chose to debut her tour about 100 miles from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana.

Everyone's been saying that Brit needed to be super-prepared for this tour, if she really wanted to secure her place back at the top. And, from the looks of it, she's certainly pulled it off.

Congrats! 

Guess what? I'm going to see Britney!!!

Yup, my friend D (the ultimate Brit fan) has snagged us tickets to see the pop star at her NJ concert on March 14. -- Wahooo!

Okay, back to the news. Britney has just announced that she is the new face of the Candie's brand.

"Guess what," Britney asked in a video clip for Access Hollywood. "I'm the new Candie's girl and it's only at Kohls."

Cool! I love Kohls -- they have the best bras (total wink to all my Lily of France peeps out there -- karaoke ruled!).

Anyway, Britney kicks off her Circus tour in New Orleans today and the buzz is it's going to be some kind of spectacle!  Be sure I will be reporting back and giving you all the details! 

Britney Spears' ex is facing felony charges, after he tried to get away from a process server, by hitting him with his Mercedes. The paparazzo allegedly "started to drive toward the man, who, in order to avoid being pinned against a garbage truck, jumped onto the hood of Ghalib's Mercedes. Ghalib swerved and the alleged victim fell off, breaking his wrist and sustaining other injuries." Brit's ex boytoy then peeled out of there like there was no tomorrow.

Adnan was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run.

Prosecutors are asking bail be set at $110,000, and Adnan is looking at up to seven years in prison, if convicted on all of the charges.

And, if Jamie Spears has anything to say about it, when Adnan gets out of jail in 2016, he still won't be able to see Britney.

I know this may be hard to believe, but that's not Britney Spears. I mean it is, but it's not.

That scary replica is completely made of wax, and is the newest addition to the Britney Spears' Madame Tussauds collection, revealed yesterday in their London museum.

I'm starting to get freaked out by how real these statues are getting. Forget cloning -- they can just make robots out of these things -- like the little girl from Small Wonder -- and nobody would ever know the difference.

Creepy.

Well, it sounds like those papers were a good idea for Brit, but not so lucky for the guy who had to deliver them.

According to TMZ.com, a process server went to Adnan's apartment yesterday to give him legal papers ordering him to appear in the restraining order case. While the guy was waiting for Adnan in an alley, the paparazzo pulled up and hit the process server -- with his car! The alleged victim says he landed on Adnan's hood, and then Adnan took off.

The process server called the cops, and now Adnan is under investigation for a felony --assault with a deadly weapon.

Seriously? Who does that? If I hit everyone I didn't want to talk to with a car, there would be bodies just strewn around the tri-state area. What is wrong with people?

Their relationship must have been something really special, because Felicia has given up her job with The Jonas Brothers, to rejoin the Brit bus and head out on the Circus tour with the performer.

"Britney has always held a special place in my heart, and over the course of the last year I have seen her work harder than she ever has in her entire life," Felicia said in a statement posted on Brit's website. 

"Sadly, I am really going to miss the Jonas boys, but I felt I had to be a part of this exciting time in Britney's career. I love Britney and missed her dearly."

Such good news for Brit and Felicia. I always felt bad about their rift.

Sam Lufti has filed a lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents for libel and defamation. This comes just days after Jamie Spears got a restraining order against creepy Sam and Brit's ex Adnan Ghalib.

Sam's legal papers say all the stuff that the Spears family is saying about him is crap, and that he actually urged Britney to reconcile with her folks.

"Jamie and Lynne launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney's life," the papers read. "This campaign also provided Jamie with the opportunity he needed to obtain an appointment as Britney's conservator."

He's also claiming that Lynne Spears' memoir, Through the Storm, is filled with "false statements," and that it's impacting his current career.

"Since the publication of the book, Lutfi has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and scorn," and has received "numerous death threats from overzealous fans," the lawsuit reads, adding that Sam can "no longer find work as a counselor of at-risk teens."

He can longer find work with at-risk teens?! What a pity! Who's going to drug them now? 

Looks like Britney Spears' boys are joining the circus!

Yup, the pop star is reportedly taking Sean Preston and Jayden Jaymes on the road with her, when she kicks off her new tour in New Orleans on March 3.

There were rumors that the pop star wasn't going to be able to travel with the kids for the two months she was away, as ex Kevin Federline had 50/50 custody of the boys, but Brit's blog says the plans are a-go.

"Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour," said the blog. "Britney is so excited to kick off her tour. She has been enjoying every moment of rehearsals and is looking forward to performing in front of a live audience again."

I think that's great for Brit -- the boys should keep her in line while she's out there on the road.

Wait -- is it supposed to be the other way around?

Britney has apparently asked her dad (who is her current conservator) to "protect her from Sam and Adnan" because she's afraid of them. According to TMZ.com, Brit's hoping that Sam, who was her creepy manager/stalker, and Adnan, who was her slimy paparazzo boyfriend, will be locked up.

The papers that were filed say that Sam and Adnan were attempting to gain control of Brit's affairs. It was also documented that Sam had been trying to contact Britney through her hairdresser and one of Jamie Spears' lawyers. Sam is also being accused of sending "anonymous, harassing and threatening" messages to Jamie.

As for Adnan, the papers allege that Britney still tells him where she is going to be, "and that he then arranges for paparazzi to meet and film her to his financial benefit."

Well, what the hell is she doing that for?!

Come on, Brit -- keep it together.
