Performing the sexy song “Lace and Leather” at last night’s show in Brazil,  Britney was sliding down a stripper pole and wrapping her legs around the lucky fan, who then turned around and took a bite out of her leg, and then continued to smile and laugh through a pink boa.  We understand that her calves are kind of chunk now and sort of resemble a turkey leg, but that doesn’t call for a taste.  This fan is cray.  Never one to quit in the middle of a show, she jumped off, turned around and continued dancing from a distance.   Way to show em Brit Brit.

On how being a mom affected how she approaches her career: “I think things through a little bit more, and I worry a lot. I’m more straightforward, and I speak up more than I did before. When I was younger, I wouldn’t speak up as much, but now that I’m a mom, things have changed.”

What don’t people know about you? “I’m pretty normal, you know? Like I said, the type of day I love is just like everybody else’s. I’m like everybody else.”

We love Britney and can’t stop listening to her new album in the office. Are you going to get tickets for her upcoming tour?

It isn’t apparent that Ke$ha wrote Britney’s second single off seventh studio album Femme Fatale, which is a very good thing.

So good in fact, that Ke$ha should just halt her career as a singer and join Dr. Luke’s camp as a song-writer since she seems to put much more effort into the careers of others than her own.   Britney has always been known for implementing fun slang and quotable lyrics. This time around “If you want this good ish/ Sicker than the remix ,” fits in very well with today’s culture.  Thank you, Ke$ha.  The verses and hook show off an impressive never-before-heard vocal delivery until it gets drowned in a chopped and screwed chorus that really just concludes the chopped-and-screwed thing is getting as played out as dubstep. But it’s fine… She redeems herself with an infectious Middle 8 over a classic Britney sugar-coated dance beat you just can’t deny.  Voila, power-pop anthem. “Till The World Ends,” is going to smash parties all around the galaxy. “WOAH OH-OH-OH-OH- AHHHH…”

V Magazine’s Spring issue is also labeled the “Star Power Issue” and it makes sense that Britney is the cover girl. Her star power has been going strong for a decade. She makes it know that “The bitch is back and better than ever” as she is quoted on the tri-fold cover. Famed  photographer Mario Testino captures the Britney we all know and love in Britney Forever. If the shots are any inkling to what Femme Fatale is going t sound like then we are in for a treat.

With the recent release of our Pop Art themed issue and launch party, we can’t get enough of anything Warhol or Factory related….To be released later this year, look what we spotted tonight by one of our favourite new school pop artists running tings, Mr Shep Fairey.

This poster is from a painting I did of Nico from the Velvet Underground. The painting was based on a photo by Billy Name who worked with Warhol in the Factory. For anyone who does not know, Warhol managed the Velvet Underground, got them their record deal, and designed their first record cover with the banana (which could originally be peeled). Warhol also suggested that Nico, a german fashion model and singer, be in the group. I love her vocals on songs like “Femme Fatale” and “I’ll be Your Mirror”, but apparently Lou Reed did not like her much and kicked her out of the group.  She kept recording and made solo records until the early 80’s.  Iggy Pop had some vague sexual encounters with Nico in the late 60’s, and John Cale from the Velvet Underground produced the first (Iggy and the)Stooges album. Considering I got into Warhol, VU, and The Stooges separately, it is fascinating how connected they are.  Billy Name gets some of the money on this Nico poster.
