Britney Spears' Ex-Manager Claims Head Shaving Was to Hide Drug Use

In the latest news, Britney Spears' ex-manager claims that the singer shaved her head back in 2007 to hide drug use.

The former manager, Sam Lutfi, is suing various members of the Spears family. In an opening statement during a Los Angeles trial, Lutfi claims that Spears used drugs and in order to hide it, she shaved her head. EW reports that Lufti's attorney said the following:

"Most of the things that went wrong related to that habit [of amphetamine use]… My client sometimes spent 24 hours a day to prevent Britney from using drugs.”

However, it's quite contradicting since the Spears family sought a restraining order against Lufti in 2009. That's not all, Lufti is also suing Spears' parents for defamation and accuses Spears' father for punching him in the chest. In total, Lufti is seeking 15% of Spears' earnings during the time he was in her employment, which was eight months.

The lady in question, Britney Spears, is not expected to show up in court.

John Legend Slams Britney Spears and Demi Lovato

John Legend was recently quoted saying that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato aren't real singers.

Anything Hollywood reports that Legend was asked during a red carpet event regarding his opinion of the two women judging on X Factor. In response to the question he said the following:

Demi Lovato Signs On With X Factor

Demi Lovato has officially signed a deal with X Factor, just like Britney Spears did not long ago. Popcrush reports that Lovato's paycheck isn't known yet as to whereas Spears' landed on a whopping $15 million.

The tv-show will apparently not interfere with Lovato's upcoming summer tour. The official announcement will come at the Fox Upfronts where both Spears and Lovato will announce their participation in the show.

Britney Spears Signs on With X Factor

After a lot of may or may not, we can finally confirm that Britney Spears has officially signed on with X Factor. According to popcrush, Spears signed a deal which will last for 1 year and it will earn her $15 million.

Apparently both Spears and Simon Cowell are excited to work together. According to source which claims to be close to Spears, she's going to give it her all and work the hardest to contribute to the show.

Jason Trawick Becomes Britney Spears' Conservator

Jason Trawick has been added as Britney Spears' co-conservator, along with her dad. A conservator is basically someone that has full control of one's economic situation and may control how you spend your money. Think along the lines of being underage and your parents are still controlling your life, which in Spears' case, isn't that far off.

According to TMZ, Spears' father, Jamie Spears, is thrilled to have Trawick as a co-conservator. Apparently the singer agreed with her father's wish to have Trawick as co-conservator, not surprising considering their impending marriage.

Britney Spears Won't Judge on X Factor

Britney Spears has allegedly declined a $10 Million contract offer to judge on X Factor. According to Celebuzz, the singer declined the offer simply because she wanted the double!
However, it's unlikely that the producers will accept this demand and they're more likely to look for other A-list celebrities to fill the judging seat.

Do you want Spears to judge on the show, or would you rather have someone else to do the job? Let us know in the comments!

Britney Spears to Judge on X Factor?

Britney Spears has allegedly been offered $10 million to judge on the X Factor, RollingStone reports. Apparently Simon Cowell and the rest of the producers of the show fired the last judges, Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, due to the fact they wanted more famous judges, such as Janet Jackson.

Apparently Spears would become one of the top earners in TV should she take up on the offer. Christina Aguilera got a little less to judge on the show whilst Jennifer Lopez judged on the show for the staggering amount of $12 million.

Do you want Britney Spears to judge on the X Factor or not?

Kylie Minogue Has Most Played Track Of The Decade

PRS For Music has revealed the most played songs in the UK over the past decade.

The most played song over the past 10 years is Kylie Minogue's smash hit "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". The song was released in 2001 and became a worldwide chart topper.

Coming in 2nd place was Britney Spear's 2004 single "Toxic". The song went on to be one of the star's biggest songs of her career.

Despite being released in 1997, Robbie Williams made the top 3 with his song "Angels".

Round out the top 5 was Jamellia's "Superstar" at number 4 and Liberty X's "Just A Little" at number 5.

"The writing talent behind this top five includes legends such as Cathy Dennis and Guy Chambers, and underpins the importance of good songwriting in producing a hit," PRS For Music chairman Guy Fletcher told BBC News.

The top played songs was determined not only by the amount of airplay a song got, but also by live covers of the song as well.

Stars Stay Away From Britney Spears Tour Launch Party

Britney doesn't draw in the crowds like she used to. The singer is starting her first European tour in 2 years and threw an extravagant party at the Sanctum Soho Hotel in London only to have no big name celebrities attend.

According to the Daily Mail, the only "stars" to attend the event were reality stars Mark Wright and Katie Waissel. Mark Wright stars in the show "The Only Way Is Essex" and was very excited to see the singer. "Is it silly that I am excited to be on the way to Britney Spears tour launch party going to be in the same room as one of the world's biggest stars?" Wright tweeted.

Britney stuck close to her boyfriend Trawick throughout the event. Despite not bringing out the star power like her glory days, Britney is still excited to be in the UK.

"So excited to stop over in the UK before I start my European tour in a few weeks. Can't wait! I LOVE London, it's like my second home," she tweeted.
