Britney In The Pink
Britney Spears has hit back at Pink, after
the US star made derogatory remarks about her pop rival.
She told Rolling Stone: "I heard that
Pink said some really
negative things about me. I met her, and she was really nice.
"She sent me flowers at my hotel room. And then next week she said
something like, 'I don't think it's cool the way that she's like a puppet and
she's really smiley and happy all the time."
But she added: "She's probably doing that to protect her whole gimmick
thing. I respect that, but don't be a hypocrite and put me down when you're,
like, performing with your belly showing, too. And the reason why I'm smiling
is because I'm grateful.
"I'm not the type of person to walk around and be like, 'Shit, I'm the
coolest girl.' I still think her music rocks. But the whole thing hurt my
feelings. I felt like, 'I thought you liked me. You sent me flowers.'
Meanwhile, Britney has revealed the reason for her current career
break, explaining that she is sick of seeing herself on TV.
She said: "I'm supposed to take six months off, but I probably won't.
The whole point of me taking a break is to be out of the public eye and not
see my face on TV, because I'm sick of myself.
"This is more of a spiritual thing for me. I want to not have my hair
and makeup done all the time."

Britney Spears, Mya, DJ Quik To
Attend Usher's Masquerade Birthday Bash
Grammy Award-winning R&B singer
Usher will host a masquerade party on his birthday Monday (October 14) at the
Highlands in Los Angeles. Britney Spears, Mya, DJ Quik, and the Wayans
Brothers have already RSVP'd to help him celebrate turning 24 at the event,
scheduled to begin at 9 p.m.
Attendants are required to wear all
black, and will receive a mask upon entering the party.
Usher's song "Can U Help
Me" was Number 87 last week on Billboard's Hot R&B/Singles &
Tracks chart.
Usher made his debut on the music
scene in 1993 when his song "Call Me A Mack" appeared on the
original soundtrack to the John Singleton film Poetic Justice, which starred
Janet Jackson and Tupac. Usher released his self-titled debut the following
year, but didn't reach stardom until issuing his 1997 album, My Way, which has
been certified six times platinum. His current album, 8707, released in 2001,
is quadruple platinum.

Bono, Petty, Britney Proclaim 'Elvis
Lives'
Bono, Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow, No Doubt,
Dave Matthews, and Britney Spears are among the artists scheduled to appear on
the prime-time special "Elvis Lives," to air on NBC in late November
or early December. The hour-long show will feature commentary and performances
that pay tribute to the legacy of Elvis Presley.
The special is the latest marketing move designed to tie into RCA's
"ELV1S 30 #1 Hits," and will attempt to drive holiday says of the
album. The set is No. 1 on The Billboard 200 for a second-straight week,
having sold 837,000 units since its release. The show will feature four
performances of Presley classics.
Also slated to appear on the special are Denis Leary, Dale Earnhardt Jr.,
Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Dennis Hopper, and Public Enemy's Chuck D, who
turned heads when he rapped "Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant
s*** to me" on his group's 1990 hit "Fight the Power." More
guests will be announced in the future.
The program will intersperse new material with historic footage of Presley's
performances, as well as recent coverage commemorating the 25th anniversary of
his death.

Lynne's Corner Update: "Back Home
In Kentwood"
We were lucky this summer. We were
able to avoid the Louisiana heat. Jamie Lynn and I left before it was really
hot, and now has made it back to her regular school after the real heat was
over. Los Angeles summers are the best!
Now, we are happily anticipating fall weather. We are ready for hot chocolate
and a cozy fireplace. Britney has already bought a few sweaters. Believe or
not, it can be really cold here in Louisiana. Last year was a cold winter for
us.
Britney will be in New York a lot this fall. She is recording now. She is in
no hurry and is able to enjoy the process more than her fast-paced schedule
allowed before. There are several songwriters and producers she is planning to
work with. Brit will also be working on her New York apartment, trying to put
everything together. It’s nice to know that I don’t have to do any of the
legwork for this particular project – she’s doing it all herself. It
should be decorated completely including a Christmas tree by the time I see
it. We shall see!
Britney has also been busy with her charities. Friday night she had a project
with the Robin Hood Foundation. She recently had some business in the New
Orleans area pertaining to her charities, but it was pushed back because of
the back to back hurricanes.
Speaking of hurricanes, we’ve had more than our fair share of them. Jamie
Lynn and I missed the first hurricane, but we were here for the second, Lili.
Luckily, we only had a few strong winds and a lot of water. The house looked
as though it had a moat around it! Life is finally getting back to normal for
us. Then again, some would never call our lives “normal,” I suppose.
Now that the family is home, we are all happy and starting to get back into
the routine of things here.
