Its often said that no matter the truth people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along. Some people might see that their lives have almost caught up to them. Some people may see what was there all along. And then there are those other people, the ones who run as far as they can so they don’t have to look at themselves. And as for me, I can see clearly now.

In order to prepare for his completely sold-out London tour, Michael Jackson may be considering getting more plastic surgery. He wants to come back looking better than ever. Honestly, I hope he comes back with a nose. It’s just really sad to look at old pictures of him and think, “What was ever wrong in the first place?” Whatever. People have reasons for doing what they do and no one should judge. No one knows the truth. If this plastic surgery thing is true, I hope the results are consistent with what he hopes for. I’m definitely not a huge Michael Jackson fan, just enjoy a couple of classics. I wish this dude the best.

The Pussycat Dolls did their own version of Jai Ho from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack. Their song is called Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny). I heard it a couple of weeks ago and absolutely thought it was destruction. But after seeing them perform it at the New York Britney Spear’s concert (their first time performing it live ever), I’m starting to come around. The video doesn’t hurt either. Well played. I’ll see how I feel about it a bit later. I also just want to say that they could have potentially killed this song (and I’m sure many people do). At the end of the day I guess it just celebrates Slumdog Millionaire even more so whatever. Enjoy the video below!

Britney’s new video for If You Seek Amy is finally here. I think it’s hot, it’s cute, it’s Britney. The Circus video was definitely a lot more exciting (just because it was about so much more than just a song) but I think this video is great for the song. Britney looks effing hot. Go go goooo!

Last night was my third stop on Britney’s circus tour (home in NY) and I’m thinking this show just gets better and better every time you see it. Britney’s smiling a lot more. I don’t know whether it’s me just paying attention to detail or if the later shows of a concert are better than the first, but something is just better. Oh and apparently Madonna was in the audience last night which caused people to lose their shit. This random girl and I made a $5 bet about Madonna taking the stage (I said Madonna wouldn’t and the girl said she would). Madonna did not take the stage. Where’s my money? Whatever, it’s still not enough for a bottle of water. Crazy.

As for pictures, I decided not to bring a camera. It was my sister’s 23rd birthday and I just wanted to make sure she was having the best time ever. We definitely got the Pussycat Dolls and Britney’s attention (if you screamed and looked as crazy as we did, you would too). I’m pretty confident this was the best concert she’s ever been to. She loved it. Happy B-day Z. Like a circuss. Mission accomplished.

At the airport today I was suckered into buying the April 2009 issue of Ebony magazine. And by “suckered into buying” I really mean that I saw Beyonce on the cover of this magazine with the title “Beyoncevoled…An intimate portrait of the superstar you may not know.” Seriously, you wouldn’t buy it? Anyway, I loved the interview and for that reason I’m typing it all up. If you get a chance, try to check out the actual magazine because it’s a great read with some awesome pictures!

On performing for the Obama’s first dance: I was completely anxious and honored. Honestly I’ve watched everyday because I just want to relive the moment. It was one of the most spectacular moments of my life.I was very misty-eyed. What was interesting was the moment after. As I was breaking down [crying], they told me, ‘All right, get off the stage.’ And I was literally bawling. They were like, ‘Come on. Get yourself together.’

Who is the real Beyonce?: I’m a daughter, I’m a friend, I’m a wife, I’m a sister. All those things first. I’m an artist. I’m a businesswoman. I’m very sensitive and I’m also very strong. I’m so many things. I’m multifaceted. I’m a lover. I’m inspired by love. I make decisions from the heart.

On favoring projects that provide personal growth: If it doesn’t, I don’t do it. I turn down million-dollar offers all the time because it’s something that does not feel true for what I’m trying to say. I have to be passionate about it. Love inspires and growth inspires me. If it is not going to be iconic, something I can love 10 years from now, I’ve learned I should not waste my time with it.

On family: In every family, you have your disagreements, but ultimately we love eachother and we would do anything for eachother.

On Jay Z and business: Jay doesn’t get involved in my business and I don’t get involved in his. He was very successful before I met him and I was very successful before I met him. So we have so much respect for each other, and respect for each other artistically. We are very close friends, and I believe he is the ultimate artist and he has the same feelings for me.

On being a wife: I don’t know how to talk about it because I don’t like to talk about it. But I ahve a great example of a great wife, and that’s my mother. And I have great friends around me that have been married, so I’m lucky to have really good examples. And a great husband.

On being messy: I’m a little messy. Whenever I’m out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don’t want to take care of anything. I drop it. I’m relaxed. I don’t have any shoes on. No makeup. My shoes are left at the door. My purse is in the kitchen. I think that is the most difficult thing for him [Jay Z]. He’s very, very organized. I’m extremely organized when I’m working, and I work so much that when I get home I don’t want to think about anything.

On being a perfectionist: I think this is just who I am. My parents and the drive they have, it’s kind of worn off on me. When I was a kid, I’ve always been a bit of a perfectionist. That’s just my personality, because I love what I do.

On mistakes and safety (I love this one): Of course I’ve made mistakes. But I’d rather take chances than be safe. Simplicity is my word for 2009. But safety is my worst enemy.

Is it just me or do you love Beyonce a little bit more after reading that interview? Family values. Humility. Honesty. Fierce-ness. Awesomeness. Thanks Ebony!

First thing’s first. Kelly Clarkson’s highly-anticipated new album All I Ever Wanted was released today. I’m guessing it was highly-anticipated because it’s supposed to be more like her Breakaway album and less like her My December album… If you went “huh??” to My December, you just proved my point (even though I liked the album…it was just poorly promoted).  Anyway, Kelly is also on the cover of the April 2009 issue of Blender magazine and here are some snippets. The subject of this post is pretty clear. You’ve been warned.

On peeing in the shower: Anybody who says they don’t is lying.

On walking around naked: I’m the kinda person who just doesn’t like clothes.

On checking the tissue after blowing her nose: I mean, if you have a cold, you have to check, to see how sick you are.

Why she thinks people like her: The thing with me, and my audience in particular is, people look at me like a sister or a daughter. It’s not like people look at me as unattainable, some kind of star like that. People love the ‘real’ factor that’s involved, I think.

On talking being able to talk about anything: I do not lie. Ever. I will tell my girlfriend if she looks fat in her jeans… When you don’t make yourself clear or heard, that’s where trouble starts. And that’s something I learned as a child. No one is going to know what you feel unless you tell them.

(She’s definitely right about the ‘real’ factor. I love this girl.)

I wasn’t going to say anything (on here) just because I didn’t want it to be Britney-bashing, but this is more funny than bashful. Britney Spears had an apparent wardrobe malfunction at the Tampa show last night that caused her to say “my pussy was hanging out” while she was being lowered under the stage. That’s right. Everyone at the show got to hear. There’s a video and it’s actually really funny and everyone started laughing. I don’t think Britney knew everyone would hear. Oh well!  The pictures aren’t really revealing so that’s good. It’s just the comment that has got everyone’s attention. Classic Brit, classic. Watch below!

Finally there’s a date for when Britney’s new video for If You Seek Amy is being released. It will be this Thursday March 12 at 11am EST and the best place to go view it first is most likely BritneySpears.com. Finally! I can’t wait to see it! Hopefully it’s not censored mush. If there’s any more specific details, you know I’ll post it.

On another note, I see Britney for the third (and last) time this Wednesday. Bitter sweet.

Let’s talk about Beyonce and what’s coming up with her. To your right is a picture of Beyonce on the cover of a magazine called Los Angeles Confidential. I’ve never heard of the magazine but it had a picture of Beyonce I haven’t seen before so everyone wins.

The “I Am… Sasha Fierce” album: I am obsessed with Beyonce’s new album (which has been out since this past November). Seriously, what a range this girl has. While I love the upbeat songs like Single Ladies and Diva, I think the ballads hit home for me…all of them. Her voice just sounds so beautiful. This is the kind of music that reminds me why exactly I’m paying for it in the first place. Beyonce, keep this up and you’ll go down as a legend (you know, more than you already are). Get on this album. It’s never too late.

Beyonce’s “I Am… Tour”: Beyonce starts her next world tour later this month in Canada. As of right now, it’s mostly a European tour with some dates in Canada and 1 in the United States (Seattle, WA on April 1, 2009 and New Orleans, LA on July 3-5). I’m not exactly sure why only Seattle and New Orleans at the moment, but hopefully more U.S. tour dates will be released soon (they must be). She is having VIP packages for most of the tour where you can meet her and even have a ticket on the stage (I have to find a way to get to one of these concerts…lol).

I met Beyonce?: So I was going to bring this up eventually. Basically I paid my way to meet Beyonce through one of her VIP packages (during her Beyonce experience tour in 2007…It was the NYC show on August 5th, 2007…how could I possibly forget?). Well anyway, it was a really short meet and greet where we got to shake hands with her and take a picture with her. I took my friend with me and let’s just say we were about to faint when we saw her. We were wearing our Beyonce shirts and Beyonce said to us, “you look cute in your t-shirts.” That’s the reason for the big smile to your right…What an amazing moment in time. BTW, she looked like a doll. After this we had tickets within the first 3 rows (it may have been front..I forget). Beyonce was of course excellent in concert and I ended up going to see her again in Atlantic City… I took my mom to that one and she loved it. I love seeing the small differences (if any) between different shows… I know that may make me a freak in some eyes…but I’d rather be called a freak and get to see Beyonce perform

Beyonce’s new movie “Obsessed”: Have you seen the trailers for Beyonce’s next movie? It’s called Obsessed and hits theatres on April 24. It’s a different type of movie where she plays a girlfriend of a guy who seemed to have a crazy stalker. The previews actually look really exciting…I’m not sure if it’s the movie or Beyonce in the movie…Something tells me it’s the latter…Regardless, can’t wait to see B in this one. April 24. Add it to the calendar.

Beyonce’s never been in a relationship before?: Back to the new magazine Beyonce’s on the cover of above…In the magazine she talks about writing songs about dealing with heartache and not having someone who does the same for her. She also claims that she has never had a breakup and that Jay Z is her first relationship. Ummm I’m not really sure what to think or say, but let’s say it was true. That’d be really interesting. I mean it’s really not a big deal if she’s been in relationships before so there’s no sense in lying about something like that…is there? Who knows. Whatevs, I still love ya.

Okay so that was a lot of fun to write. Guess what album I’m listening to at the moment? That’s right, I Am…Sasha Fierce! Fierce indeed.

This picture of Britney Spears with her boys at Disney World (this past Thursday) puts the biggest smile on my face. Look how cute and happy those kids look. And that smile on Britney’s face = priceless.

I just randomly came across this video of Britney Spears performing I Can’t Get No Satisfaction/Oops I Did It Again many years ago… It’s even better than I remember. Full updates will start again tomorrow!

I just got back to my hotel room and I don’t even know where to begin. Basically I thought Britney killed it. This show was amazing. But you know what, it wasn’t just Britney who made the show what it was. It was the dancers. It was all the special effects and tricks (and man, were there a lot of them). But back to Britney. I was so happy with all the songs she chose to perform (and it was not limited to the set list released by BritneySpears.com). The costumes were effing fantastic. And she looked so beautiful. I am proud of Britney Spears. After having the world witness some personal mishaps, she was able to put on a show like this. I think she forgot what it felt like to perform in front of thousands of people and something tells me the next few shows will be even better.

I am trying to think what others might have thought of the show. I feel like people are definitely going to say that she doesn’t dance as much as she used to, but I was happy with it. I am really excited to go to the next 2 shows and see it all over again. A part of me still can’t believe I flew to New Orleans for Britney, but I am so glad I did. I felt like a part of history.

I do have to say this though: I think with any concert, the crowd definitely sets the tone. I’ve never really been to concerts outside of New York/New Jersey (I’m from NY) and I must say I thought the crowd could have been more excited. Don’t get me wrong, they were screaming a lot, but not enough. I love the crowds that just go crazy over absolutely everything (like they do in NY). It gives you goose bumps. I’m excited to see the difference in the Atlanta and NY shows.

As for my seat…Fucking amazing. I was so close to the stage that whenever the curtain or video screen went down, it would hit my head. Amazing. Not to mention, my seat was a couch. I had a golden cup holder for crying out loud.

I was able to take a few good shots (in my opinion lol) and am going to post those now! I’ll post a more detailed step-by-step review after the pictures

It’s 6:37 NOLA time and I’m about to walk on over to New Orleans Arena (my hotel is like .3 miles away). I don’t know what to say right now… I’ve run out of words. I know I’ll have a LOT to say after though. See you then

Britney Spears <3

Hey everyone! There won’t be many posts from me today as I’m flying from ATL to New Orleans today for the Britney concert. If you’re just stumbling across my blog (hey, thanks for coming), I’m going to Britney’s opening night concert in New Orleans today and I have very promising seats (center ring, front row)! I’ll have something to share after, if I don’t get my camera taken away that is… Today will be an experience of a lifetime. Thanks mom and dad (like in the Kelly shoes video…hahaha).
