Britney Spears debuts at No. 1 on singles chart

NEW YORK: Britney Spears has become just the second artist in the 52-year history of Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart to debut multiple songs at No. 1, as "Hold It Against Me" took the top spot in its first week.

Spears previously came in at No. 1 with "3" in 2009. The only other act with multiple No. 1 starts is Mariah Carey with "Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day" in 1995 and "Honey" in 1997.

"Hold It Against Me" is Spears' fourth No. 1 on the Hot 100. Prior to "3," she reigned with her debut single "...Baby One More Time" (1999) and "Womanizer" (2008). The new track sold 411,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It marks the highest first-week tally for a lead female artist, besting the 325,000 downloads sold by Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale" in February 2010.

Two other tracks stormed the upper reaches of the Hot 100. "What the Hell," the first single from Avril Lavigne's fourth album, "Goodbye Lullaby," due March 8, opened at No. 13.

At No. 23, Kanye West and Jay-Z debuted with "H*A*M.," the first single from the superstar pair's upcoming collaborative album, "Watch the Throne."

Directly below "Hold It Against Me," three titles dipped one notch each: Bruno Mars' "Grenade" (No. 2), Katy Perry's "Firework" (No. 3) and Rihanna's "What's My Name?" (No. 4).

Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" rose two to No. 5; Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" held at No. 6; and Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" fell three to No. 7.

Pink fell three to No. 8 with "Raise Your Glass," the Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)" and Mars' "Just the Way You Are" each slipped one place, to Nos. 9 and 10, respectively.

Britney Spears-new role model for Disney?

Post the Demi Lovato scandal, it has emerged that Disney is turning to two of its golden stars—Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake—to mentor its young stars.

With a troubled past, Spears might not be a role model for others, but Disney bosses have approached her in a bid to avoid another meltdown such as that suffered by 18-year-old singer and actress Lovato, reports News.com.au.

"Justin and Britney have been asked if they would like to come in and speak to their younger counterparts about the tribulations of being famous so young," said a movie insider.

"The Disney bosses think that if they have people to look up to they might stay on the straight and narrow", he added.

Spears to remain under conservatorship?

Britney Spears will reportedly remain under the conservatorship of her father for the foreseeable future.
Recently it was claimed the singer could regain control of her financial assets as early as January 2011.

However, according to TMZ, there are currently no plans to end the conservatorship and Spears herself is said to be happy for it to continue at present.

The singer's father, Jamie Spears, assumed control over both the singer's personal care and finances in 2008 following a string of reported personal issues.

Spears's seventh album is expected to be released in Spring 2011.

Britney Spears Breaks Out Her "Engagement" Ring

Once again drawing into question whether she's ready to walk down the aisle, Britney Spears showed off a little hand jewelry while out in Calabasas, CA on Friday afternoon (September 10).

The "Womanizer" singer flashed her fancy diamond ring on that all-important finger while grabbing lunch with son Jayden James at Johnny Rockets.


As for the bling, Britney has yet to make any announcements (as she's worn such jewelry before with no plans to wed) - although she and boyfriend Jason Trawick recently returned from a romantic Hawaiian getaway.

Nonetheless, it's no doubt that Miss Spears was in high spirits during the day, as she was much more active on her Twitter account than usual, posting, "Happy Friday people! Am I a part of your future? -Brit"

Britney Responds To Lawsuit Via Her Website

Yesterday, we reported on the lawsuit being brought against Britney Spears by her fomer bodyguard, Fernando Flores. Well, today, Britney is striking back, well kind of, by way of a prepared statement posted on her website.

The statement reads in part, “This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself.” “The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores’ accusations and have closed the case without any further action.”

Britney conveniently left out any rebuttal regarding the sexual charges leveled at her. She did say, however, that she and her lawyers believe that the case will be thrown out. I don’t know for sure, but I doubt it. The child abuse accusations might not stick but the sexual harassment ones might.

Also of note, Britney’s ex-husband, Kevin Federline, is taking up for Britney. He has stated that the child abuse charges are baseless. However, he didn’t have much to say about the sexual harassment charges either.

Lawsuit Against Britney Spears Includes Reports of Sex & Abuse

Reportedly, Britney Spears is being sued by a former bodyguard. Fernando Flores has leveled some shocking claims at the “Baby Hit Me One More Time” singer.

Flores has accused Britney of sexually harassing him, amongst other things. Spears supposedly made advances that were sexual in nature and unwanted.

According to Flores, Brit Brit purposely wore provocative styled clothes (see-through) in front of him and even exposed herself, which left Flores, according to the suit, in “…shock and disgust.”

One incident involved Britney being completely naked and demanding that Flores enter the room, in which she proceeded to ask him to fetch her two bottles of 7-up. Other incidents involved her participating in sexual acts in front of him.

Aside from the sexual acts and exposure, Fernando also claims that Britney abuses her kids. According to a rumored copy of suit, Spears asked him for a belt, which she reportedly used on Preston.

Another time, she supposedly fed the boys crab meat even though she knew they both were allergic to fish. Upon eating the foods, the kids began to throw up but Britney didn’t allow them to receive any medical attention. Flores in response to the acts he witnessed called Children and Family Child Services. However, they found no merit in his complaint.
