Simon Cowell has confirmed Britney Spears will appear on his British talent show “The X-Factor,” admitting she’s the “number one booking in the world.”

Spears will perform on the show to promote her comeback album “Circus” and the music mogul, who has always been a big fan of Spears, can’t wait.

He says, “We have the number one show in England. It’s the best show for her to perform on. We’re absolutely thrilled to have her.

“Everyone wants to work with her because she’s a star. She’s the number one booking in the world at the moment for a show. … The fact that she goes a bit crazy occasionally makes her more interesting.

“And, if she wants to shave her head before she comes on the show, she’s welcome to. I don’t care.”

Pop Princess Britney Spears is reportedly working on a new videofor “Womanizer,” the first single off her new album Circus, MTV.com reported.

According to People, shooting began Wednesday and continued today, Thursday in Los Angeles.

An unidentified source to UsMagazine, according to MTV.com, that the video features “erotic” choreography. Spears was reportedly seen sporting a vamp-waitress look; wearing black leather pants, a short black wig, red lipstick, and fake tattoos. Dancers reportedly dressed in waiter’s uniforms including white dress shirts and skinny tie, black pants for the men and leggings for the ladies. Spears reportedly lies on a kitchen counter and makes out with a man dressed in a suit.

Spears once again teamed up with director Joseph Khan, who previously directed her videos for “Stronger” and “Toxic.”

Circus is set to hit stores on December 2.

Actress Lindsay Lohan has confirmed she has been dating Samantha Ronson for “a very long time”, according to US reports.

The 22-year-old former girlfriend of Calum Best has frequently been seen partying with Ronson (31), but has never publicly commented about the extent of their relationship until now.

Lohan told the US radio show Loveline that she had been dating the DJ, whose brother is Brit Award winner Mark Ronson, “for a very long time”.

DJ Ted Stryker interviewed Ronson while she took a break from working at TV Guide’s Emmy afterparty on Monday night in Los Angeles.

Ronson had been discussing her friendship with DJ AM and Travis Barker, who are recovering from severe burns following a plane crash in South Carolina last weekend, before putting Lohan on the phone.

Lohan’s publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, who has previously denied the pair were going out, said Lohan was not engaged to be married.

The singer’s eagerly anticipated comeback is being held off a little longer to ensure the to-be-released song is “as great as possible”.

Britney Spear’s new single and comeback mechanism ‘Womanizer’ was set to air for the first time on US radio on Monday, September 29, 2008, but record bosses have decided to hold it back because they worry it’s not good enough yet to be a hit. A source said: “The label held the song back to make it as great as possible.”

Several days ago an unfinished version of the 26-year-old’s single was leaked on the internet when a video of Britney rehearsing the song in an L.A. studio was posted on YouTube. According to reports, fans’ reaction to the song were worse than expected, which has led Britney’s team to decide to return to the studio to improve it.

Picking up from where episode 10 left off, all the remaining contestants, minus Hoopz, return to the vault to vote somebody else into the box, due to Brandi C. quitting. Toastee is voted into the box by everyone else but Pumkin. Back at elimination, Hoopz saves Real first, as he is still her friend, even if she did say no to his proposal. Toastee is eliminated because Hoopz can’t trust her and she thinks she’s responsible for Chance’s elimination. Toastee gets her check voided and gets mad that Megan got her way. Real talks to his brother Chance on the phone and talks about Hoopz, and his brother says Whiteboy might be infatuated with her and advises Real to take him out. The next day, it’s their next challenge: “You Booze, You Loose”, which is based on all the VH1 shows where the contestants get drunk and then pass out. The contestant must spin around in a chair twenty times, then walk on a platform, without stepping on any cups, or it will result in a penalty, which will add onto the total time, and then go back on the chair and spin again for another twenty times, then they have to drink a bunch of drinks, then spit it in a toilet, then kiss a person, and then they cross the finish line. The person with the fastest time will be Pay Master while the person with the slowest time will automatically be put in the box. In the end, Hoopz got the fastest time and was Pay Master again for the 2nd time in a row, which was the first time that’s happened, while Pumkin did the worse and was automatically put in the box. Back at the house, Real tells Hoopz that he claims that he heard Whiteboy called Hoopz an insulting name (which Real has also learned from Chance), and Hoopz is offended and truly believes it. Hoopz, Real, and Whiteboy talk about the issue and Hoopz still doesn’t believe Whiteboy, and Whiteboy feels hurt and accuses Real of setting him up to eliminate him from their “love triangle.” In the vault, nobody wants to vote, so they agree to let Hoopz make the decision on who will join Pumkin in the box. Hoopz picks Megan and Whiteboy. On the power outing, the four contenders go on a yacht ride. Hoopz considers getting rid of Pumkin because she went against the alliance and eliminated Chance. Megan thinks she’s safe because Hoopz gave her her word last episode, but Hoopz says that was once in a lifetime. Pumkin and Megan fight about Chance’s elimination. On the one on one, Hoopz picks Whiteboy, wanting to find out more about his side of the story. Whiteboy continues to address that he didn’t do anything and that Real is setting him up. Hoopz tells him she feels hurt about his comment to her earlier in their conversation that she’s a stranger to him. Whiteboy apologized to her and thinks he might be in trouble come elimination time. Before elimination, Real prepares a date with Hoopz and they talk about her decision. Real continues to blather on and on about why he loves her. Hoopz finally understands what’s going on. At elimination, the first person Hoopz saves is Megan. Then Hoopz calls up Whiteboy and tearfully tells him the suppose comment really hurt her, especially when she’s been tight with him since the beginning. Hoopz believes Whiteboy didn’t really say anything bad behind her back and accepts his apology he gave her, and he’s safe. Pumkin thought she was safe because Hoopz and her were friends since Flavor of Love, but Hoopz tells her that going against her alliance and sending home Chance wasn’t trustworthy, making it easier for Hoopz to eliminate her and Pumkin gets her check voided.

Winner/Pay Master: Hoopz
Loser: Pumkin
Bottom 3: Megan, Pumkin, Whiteboy
Eliminated: Pumkin
