Britney Spears CD Tops Charts, But 'Circus' Video Gets Slammed by PETA
Britney Spears' comeback album "Circus" has reached the top the Billboard 200 list.
"Circus" has sold a projected 500,000 copies in it's first week, according to Jive records, vaulting it past albums from artists including Mariah Carey, Madonna, Beyonce and Janet Jackson.
Now officially on the rebound, Spears has made several high-profile appearances for "Circus," and plans a nationwide tour in March. But that doesn't mean controversy has stopped following the paparazzi magnet. This time, Spears is in trouble with the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for using lions and elephants in the video for her new single “Circus.” The activist group said that exhibitors who provided the live lions and elephants for the video, Steve Martin’s Working Wildlife, and Have Trunk Will Travel, both have “long histories of exploiting animals.” According to Michael McGraw, a spokesman for PETA, circuses use a training method that “inflicts pain on elephants.” “Britney could have used stock footage of elephant herds in their natural habitat to portray elephants in a positive and nurturing setting, McGraw told FOXNews.com. “She also could have utilized animations or animatronics instead of live animals.” Spears' rep provided FOXNews.com with a letter from the American Humane Association, which was on the set for the filming of the video "After reviewing the reports, we believe that the Guidelines for the Safe Use of Animals in Filmed Media were followed and that no animal was harmed in the making of this music video," a post production manager wrote. Britney Spears Fined on first solo drive.
BRITNEY SPEARS’ first solo car drive in months reportedly ended in disaster – when she was slapped with a parking fine.
The Womanizer babe is allowed on the road alone again following her meltdown earlier this year, but she clearly needs to brush up on the law.
One mistake she won’t be repeating is parking up an alley.
That’s the baffling error she made last night that landed her in trouble with Los Angeles authorities, according to onlookers.
Britney – looking far less glamorous than her recent self – was issued with a ticket after returning to her vehicle, and briefly had her keys confiscated.
Mariah Carey’s former boyfriend has been left heartbroken over the revelation of the singer’s quickie marriage to twenty-seven year old rapper Nick Cannon.
Record producer Mark Sudack, who split from Mariah, thirty-eight, at the beginning of the year is “shattered” that the diva married Nick after less than two months of dating.
“Everyone is scared to call him because no one knows what to say,” an US Weekly spy tattles. “He never thought she would go off and marry someone else. He’s heartbroken and shocked.”
Mariah, on the other hand, is basking in the comfort of wedded bliss: “Everyone’s calling me M.C.C’, which stands for Mariah Carey Cannon,” the Grammy winner gushed in a recent interview.
These are some shots of Megan Fox topless while filming Jennifer’s Body. Although is there any point to even putting stuff here? I’m just going to stop typing because, seriously, who’s looking at the words when HOLY CRAP, IT’S MEGAN FOX’S BOOBS! Obviously, these pics are NSFW and if you couldn’t figure that out, please e-mail me where you’ll be operating a motor vehicle. Mostly so I can take such necessary precautions as, I dunno, running for my fucking life.
NOTE: Yeah, either she’s wearing pasties or her nipples are made out of plastic. Either way, it looks close enough to naked that maybe censoring the pics will still keep you from getting fired.

A source close to Nick Cannon has confirmed exclusively to Latina.com that Cannon and Mariah Carey are married! The couple wed yesterday, April 30, in a small ceremony on an island and it was "very implusive," according to our source. The wedding was attended by a few close friends of the couple, including Da Brat.
Details forthcoming, but we'd like to be the first to say congrats to the happy couple!
UPDATE:
An additional source close to Carey now confirms that the couple married at a home the singer recently purchased in Eleuthera, The Bahamas. "They have been smitten with each other for days, weeks...and she's always had a crush on him," the source tells the New York Post. "There was no pre-nup--there wasn't time," dishes another source.
Carey, 38, and Cannon, 27, have been dating for just two months, and rumors began to swirl that the couple was engaged when Carey arrived to the April 26 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of her new movie, Tennessee, wearing a huge ring on her left finger. Though speculation arose that the ring previously belonged to Cannon's former fianceé, model Selita Ebanks, People now reports that the rings are not the same.
Stay tuned for more developments...
Mariah Carey and actor Nick Cannon are engaged.
Mariah put a massive rock on display on her left-hand ring finger at the after party for her new movie Tennessee at the TriBeCa Film Festival in NYC this past weekend.
The engagement ring was later identified as the same ring Nick gave his former fiance, Victoria’s Secret model Selita Ebanks.
Nick was previously engaged to Selita from May to October 2007.
A source close to Cannon’s ex-fiance, Selita confirms “That IS the same ring.”
Mariah, 38-years-old, has been quietly dating Nick, 27-years-old, for a few months now.
When People magazine asked Cannon what he loved about Carey, he said “Everything!”
Seems like Nick Cannon didn’t want to put the ring to a waste after Selita returned it to him and reused it on 11-years his senior Mariah Carey.
How long will the pair last?
