Britney snubbed by Vogue? - Nov 13 2006
Britney Spears’ eagerly-awaited return to the spotlight has apparently suffered a slight setback, with US reports suggesting the pop princess has been snubbed by US Vogue.
According to Star magazine, the newly-single singer recently approached the upmarket fashion magazine eager for them to print the first official photos of her with two-month-old second son, Jayden James.
"She really wanted the photos to run in Vogue, but they turned her down," a source tells the Star.
"She’s now reconsidering her options."
Britney, 24, graced the cover of US style bible Vogue at the peak of her career back in 2001 and is said to be a huge fan of the publication, but despite splitting from her much-maligned husband Kevin Federline last week, she clearly has her work cut out in order to regain her once-polished public image.
Last year, Britney chose the weekly tabloid magazine, People, to introduce first son, Sean Preston, but would reportedly now prefer a monthly glossy title to help re-launch her stalled career.
"She’s been offered 2 million dollars by another publication," says the source, adding that the star hasn’t decided whether to accept the offer.
Britney gets back to work - Nov 11 2006
Britney Spears has wasted no time getting back to work since filing for divorce from hubby K-Fed and is now going full-steam ahead on her hotly-anticipated comeback album.
The 24-year-old has been spending hours holed up inside Manhattan’s Sony Music recording studio, and sources tell People magazine she is heading to Miami over the weekend to continue working on the new project.
She’s apparently also enlisted some top talent to help hone her new sound.
At a Louis Vuitton party in New York City on Thursday night, Pharrell Williams, who produced Britney’s 2001 hit I’m A Slave 4 U and has since worked with Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and Gwen Stefani, told People magazine that he’s onboard.
Asked about his forthcoming projects, he said: "The stuff I’m about to do is amazing, but I don’t like talking about what I’m about to do."
He paused, then said: "Okay, I’m going in with Britney."
The disc will be Brit’s first original album since In The Zone, which she released back in 2003.
Britney to leave LA? - Nov 10 2006
It seems pop princess Britney Spears is fed up with Los Angeles and is keen to move to the Big Apple.
Pals of the 24-year-old mum-of-two - who this week filed for divorce from hubby Kevin Federline - say she wants to ditch her Malibu mansion and make a fresh start.
"Everywhere Britney has been in New York, people have been really kind to her," a pal told the Daily Mirror.
"It’s the kind of place she needs right now."
Yesterday it was revealed Kevin is to fight Britney for custody of their two sons - one-year-old Sean Preston and baby Jayden James, who was born on September 12 - following the breakdown of their two-year marriage.
Aspiring rapper K-Fed also wants a slice of the pop star’s multi-million dollar fortune, court documents revealed.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
