Britney Spears back on top

The singer wows the crowds at German awards

Britney Spears delivered a show-stopping performance at a German awards ceremony tonight as she prepared for her highly-anticipated performance on X Factor.

Sitting pretty: The singer performed material from her upcoming album Circus

The pop star showed off her slimmed-down body in hot pants, fishnet tights and a transparent black top at the 2008 Bambi Awards in Offenburg.

Spears – who releases her sixth album Circus next week – showed that she was back to her best as she strutted around seductively on stage and writhed around a large metallic circular cage.

Earlier today the singer’s mother Lynne Spears said that the 26-year-old had finally turned her life around after her much publicised breakdown and was now ready to return to the pop game.

'We’re going to get this done and it’s all going to be good. You just wait and see.' she told Lorraine Kelly on GMTV

Britney will perform her new single Womanizer on X Factor this weekend marking her first performance on British TV screens in 5 years

She said even now she found it hard to understand the level of her daughter's fame.

'My friends and I, we talk about it and they go, "What is the deal? I mean, what’s so interesting about Britney?" And people that have known us all our lives are mystified – they go, "What is the deal?"'
Her upcoming appearance on X Factor will mark a reunion for Spears and her former choreographer Brian Friedman as well as her first performance on British TV screens in five years.

The star won the special Bambi category pop international award at the ceremony

He said: 'She is such a sweet, endearing person. It will be nice to reconnect.

'Last year, I asked her to come and do X Factor but she was too hectic. This year it's happening. I'm so glad to see her back on track. Her performance is going to be incredible.'

X Factor judge Simon Cowell is looking forward to Spears' performance, having often commented on the singer over the years.

Former X Factor winner Leona Lewis was also at the ceremony

In January this year, when Spears was hospitalised for psychiatric evaluation, he said: 'She's welcome to call me any time.

'I genuinely think that if I sat down with Britney and, No. 1, remind her of all the good things in her life - which are her kids, her money, her success, everything - I'd try to give her a sense of perspective. And then I'd take her out of where she's living at the moment and ask her to go and live with her family - and live normally - for six months.'

Cowell is glad to see Spears - who has two children, Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden
James, 2, with ex-husband Kevin Federline - making a comeback after previously revealing his fears that her career was over following her disastrous performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.

He said at the time: 'If I had been looking after Britney I’d have taken one look at her in rehearsals and I wouldn’t have allowed her on stage.

'It would have been worth pulling her off the bill - no matter what the cost - to save any chance she had of resurrecting her career. She wasn’t ready for that show in every possible way.

'The problem she has now is that she could have killed her career. It’s difficult to come back from that performance, for a while at least.'

After a difficult few years, during which she went through a divorce and was hospitalised twice for psychiatric evaluation, Spears is now looking better than she has in years.

Since dealing with her problems with the help of her father Jamie and mother Lynne, Spears has been focusing her energies of getting her career back on track.

She picked up three awards at the MTV Video Music Awards in September for her single Piece Of Me, and continued her success at the MTV Europe Music Awards last week with two trophies - even though she was unable to attend the Liverpool ceremony.

Waiting for Britney: X Factor judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh

Earlier this month, Spears wowed fans when she joined Madonna on stage during the Material Girl's Los Angeles gig.

Her sixth studio album Circus is set for release on December 2 - her 27th birthday.

Comeback queen: Britney Spears accepts her award at the MTV Video Music Awardsfor best female video for her track Piece of Me

A year after her disastrous comeback attempt at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears swept the event on Sunday, winning the first three Moonman statuettes of her career.

The pop singer, whose career has been overshadowed in recent years by a litany of personal woes, took home the awards for video of the year, best pop video and best female video, all for the track Piece of Me.

The pop star collected the first three Moonman statuettes of her career

'Wow, thank you, I'm in shock right now. I was not expecting this,' she said at the end of the night as she accepted the shiny Moonman statue for video of the year.

'This is such an honor to have this award right now.'

Spears gave similar speeches with her previous two prizes - best female video and best pop video - politely thanking God, her children and her record label before quickly leaving the stage.

That's hot: Paris Hilton, Britney's one time party pal, presents her with the best pop video award

Despite weeks of speculation, Spears did not perform, instead opening the show by delivering just four sentences.

She said: 'Thank you so much. Thank you for all the love. I'm here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday, the 25th anniversary of the VMAs. This is the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and it starts right now.'

Sparkling: Britney cut a slender figure in a metallic frock

She earned a few laughs during a pre-taped comedic segment with Superbad actor Jonah Hill, in which he repeatedly tried to trick her into kissing him.

The crowd was behind her from the start, with several stars offering their support on the red carpet.

'I've always been a Britney Spears fan,' said Ne-Yo. 'I really want her to get out there and shut everyone's mouth.'

I'm with the Brand: Britney enjoys a moment with host Russell Brand

'As far as Britney, she can do what she wants and still be the queen of all this,' said T-Pain, who arrived at the ceremony on an elephant.

And Paris Hilton, her one-time party companion, presented Spears with the award for best pop video, telling her afterward: 'I love you. I miss you. And it's so good to see you.'

Wearing a glittering silver dress that hugged her curves and her hair in soft blonde waves, she later posed for photos with her three trophies in the press room but did not answer questions from reporters.

Accompanied by her longtime manager Larry Rudolph, Spears chewed gum and grinned and kept her eyes straight ahead.

Other winners included R&B singer Chris Brown's With You for best male video, Linkin Park's Shadow of the Day for best rock video, and rapper Lil Wayne's Lollipop for best hip-hop video.

Britney Spears linked to 'Pussycat' lesbian stripper role

Comeback contender Britney Spears has been linked to many oddball things during her tumultuous time on Earth.

Let's see...there's her connection with those merry Mickey Mouse folk, her penchant for quickie marriages, popping out love kids, and a rather naughty habit of not wearing underwear. Tsk.

But nothing beats her latest venture.

The interwebnet has been buzzing with the rumour (and I stress rumour) that Spears has been chosen by director Quentin Tarantino to star in his remake of the 1965 cult film Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Aside from the horror that yet another classic is about to be tinkered with (and undoubtedly slaughtered), there's the hideous prospect of seeing Spears fumble like a fembot on the silver screen as a maniacal, killer lesbian stripper.

Russ Meyers will be spinning in his grave. Boo hiss, indeed.

Like I say, it's purely a rumour at this stage. Tarantino, who is currently occupied directing his "re-imagining" of The Dirty Dozen called Inglorious Bastards, has responded to the Pyssycat re-make rumours with "That's complete bullsh**."

But that hasn't stopped the tabloids from milking the rumour for all it's worth.

British newspaper the Mirror also says Spears is lined up for the saucy role.

And just to raise the gossip bar a notch higher, they even speculate that Spears' "violent character murders a man with her bare hands. She also has sex scenes with another girl - not a big deal for the singer who kissed Madonna on stage."

And a snitch supposedly said: "Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant.

"She [Spears] is delighted. She thinks it could turn her career and her life around.

"It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She's playing the most important character."

There's absolutely no way that Spears is capable of steering a big production on her own. I mean, have you seen the roadkill that was her 2002 flop Crossroads? Talk about the cinematic equivalent of a sedative.

Update: A mouthpiece for Spears says:

"Though she definitely intends to explore acting roles down the road, right now she's concentrating on recording her next album."

DOLLY PARTON MAKES BRITNEY AND LINDSAY JOKE

Hooray for Dolly Parton! The country music legend (who looks remarkable for 105) made a few jokes about Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan at a concert in LA the other night. And assuming that neither Britney or Lindsay have much in the way of a sense of humour, it could be hair extensions at dawn the next time either of them bump into Dolly.

Dolly told the crowd:

"Poor little Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan - ain't it awful?"

She continued:

"If those little girls slept with as many men as they say in the tabloids, why their little butts would have more fingerprints than the FBI!"

She's got a point.

But we doubt Lindsay or her new 'girlfriend' Sam Ronson will find that remotely amusing.

She then added sympathetically:

"I kinda feel sorry for them. We should give those two a break."

But she declined to say which part of them she'd like to break. Necks perhaps...

Britney Spears bulging stomach sparks more pregnancy rumours

Is she or isn't she? Britney swollen stomach sparked more pregnancy rumours when she left an LA restaurant on Monday

It's the rumour that won't go away and pop star Britney Spear's appearance at an LA restaurant yesterday fuelled further speculation that she may be carrying her third child.

The 26-year-old was pictured at a Los Angeles restaurant with an incredibly swollen tummy.

The relaxed star looked fabulous in a shiny black dress as she enjoyed a dinner with friends but her bulging belly could not be hidden.

Her expanding figure has been the source of gossip for months with constant rumours that she may be pregnant again, but the claims have been denied by those close to the troubled mother-of-two.

Sources in Spears' inner circle have insisted the weight fluctuation is a result of prescribed medication - shooting down pregnancy talk.

'Britney's bloated because of various medications,' one an insider told Mail Online today, adding: 'They [the medications] make her weight fluctuate.'

But a baby seems to be the furthest thing from the singer's mind as she plans her next move.

The star's father - who was given control of her affairs in February this year - has decided to sell her house in the Los Angeles neighbourhood of Studio City in the latest stage of re-organising her life.

Spears has been looking at a house in Calabasas, north west of Los Angeles, and a source close to her told People magazine: "Having more privacy and wide open spaces for her to raise her boys has been a goal for some time."

The house Jamie Spears is putting on the market was the scene of the January drama which saw her forced into a psychiatric ward after she refused to hand sons Sean Preston, two, and year-old Jayden James, back to their father, Kevin Federline, after a visit.

As a result she lost custody of the boys to her ex-husband, and her father was appointed her conservator, along with a lawyer.

In March the court gave him permission to 'sell or dispose of' a number of her seven cars, and in a hearing on Tuesday approved the sale of her house. He remains in charge of her affairs until a July 31 hearing.

Spears, 26, her father, brother Bryan and her assistant are on standby to fly to Louisiana, where her younger sister, Jamie Lynn, is due to give birth any day now.

"Jamie and Britney are standing by to get a call and when they do they are jumping on a private jet," said a source.

Jamie Lynn, 17, was due to have a natural delivery, but is now believed to be having a Caesarean for health reasons.

Britney had been estranged from her sister, who is engaged to 19-year-old Casey Aldridge, but made up after Jamie Lynn announced she was pregnant.

Last month she flew back to her home town of Kentwood to attend her baby shower.

Since being under the control of her father Britney has regained visitation rights to her sons and is working on a new album.

But last month the court ruled she is still incapable of handling her own life and may need further medical tests.
