 Dakota Fanning interview with Parade. Have you ever been starstruck? 'I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come 
to California and that's just who I wanted to meet. So I was in a store and she.. 
 
..walked in and my jaw just fell to the floor. I started like sweating. I could not believe that I was meeting her. She told me that I was very cute. And I lost it, I was so excited.'

 PETA Praises Britney For Not Using Animals On Tour 
03 Feb 2009, by Jordan Miller 	 
 
 
 
 
Time for a Britney-PETA update. And no, they're not being ****s this time! 
 
PETA publicly slammed Britney last December for using elephants in her "Circus" music video, saying: "Britney is such a victim of the paparazzi and always complaining and crying about how she hates to be held up in her guarded house and can't feel free, she of all people should be able to relate to the horror that captive animals go through when they're used for entertainment. Except Britney chooses to perform, and the lifestyle just comes with it." 
 
Looks like Brit learned her lesson! 
 
According to a statement from PETA President Ingrid Newkirk via Radaronline.com, PETA is very pleased to see Britney will NOT be using live animals on her upcoming "Circus" tour, saying: 
 
    quote: 
    "PETA praises Britney for embracing modern animal-free circuses like Cirque du Soleil which spotlight human creativity and talents instead of forcing chained and beaten exotic animals to perform confusing and uncomfortable tricks as they do in one of those outdated Ringling Bros. shows. Now Britney won't risk winding up in court on cruelty charges, while Ringling is in court this week over serious allegations of repeated mistreatment of elephants." 
 
Newkirk claims PETA will send a "thank you" note and flowers to Britney for her wise decision.

 skysound, even though all of us really want to see live animals on the tour, we can comparate the situation of those animals to britney's former situation of papparazies. no live animals aren't going to ruin the concerts, I am sure

 i didn't say i wanted to see animals on the tour  Actually I don't care, I just wanted to  point the fact that peta did not need to learn us that there  would be no animals on the tour, they just wanted some spotlights

				Sam Lutfi Sues Britney Spears 
 
Sam Lutfi has filed a lawsuit against Britney Spears and her parents for libel, defamation, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract. 
 
According to the papers, Sam claims Jamie and Lynn “launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive hinm out of Britney’s life.” 
 
In the lawsuit, Sam claims he was standing in Britney’s kitchen on January 29,2008 when Jamie bust into the house. Lutfi claims Jamie yelled at him, claiming Sam made a rude comment to Lynne the night before. Then, Sam claims, Jamie “intentionally punched him in the chest” and threatened to kill him if he ever heard Sam make a rude comment about Lynne or any memeber of the Spears family again. 
 
He is also claiming Britney broke a contract with him and owes him unpaid management fees. He claims he had an oral agreement with Spears to be her manager for four years, earning 15% commission.  
 
Last Friday, Britney was granted a restraining order against Lutfi and Adnan Ghalib, barring them from having any contact with her, her parents or her kids.

 Gosh.  Gimme More is so epic. I'm glad it's still getting some airplay.
 
What can I say about the Circus era? Just Bow!

 so, got a little bit confused....is "If U Seek Amy" going to be renamed as "If U See Amy" or "If U Love Amy", Wikipedia claims the single will be renamed in the US as "If U Love Amy" 
 
does anyone know which of them will be?
