Britney Spears, who is looking increasingly glamorous and cheerful every day, left us drooling when she made a five minute stop at Lisa Kline on Robertson Blvd in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 9. What pop wreck? We saw a ravishing blond pop star yesterday!

The 26-year-old yummy mummy showed her well toned body in green hot pants and white tee. She accessorized with large shades, danglers, bangles and, most of all, a pendant necklace that read Jayden Preston. Her flip flops added to the casual but powerful allure.

The video shows Britney in a comical and improvised question and answer session with VMA host, Russell Brand. It also features LL Cool J, FNMTV host/ Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, and a 9,000 pound elephant!

Britney’s fans are hoping that she will perform again at the awards this year, for no other reason than to make up for her disastrous performance last year!

Despite 17 nominations Britney has yet to walk away with a VMA. This year she has been nominated under two categories for the song Piece of Me from her last album Blackout : Best Pop Video and Best Female Video.

MTV’s Video Music Awards 2008 will air live from the legendary Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood on September 7 at 9 pm. They will be hosted by British comedian Russell Brand and include performances by nominees Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers.

BRITNEY Spears forgot her troubles for the day, playing bikini babe on a Costa Rican beach where she was reportedly staying at actor Mel Gibson’s property.

The Toxic singer and her father, Jamie, are guests of Gibson and his wife, Robin, at their $31 million mansion in the resort town of Samara.

Spears frolicked in the waves and soaked up the sun in an Ed Hardy bikini and sunglasses with a bloke identified as US agent Jason Trawick and her dad, who apparently told the paparazzi they could shoot all they wanted as long as they kept 50m away.

Spears and Gibson used to be neighbours in Malibu.

Their friendship became public when they were seen dining together in March.

Britney Spears’ friend Sam Lutfi has agreed to stay away from the pop star for at least another month, delaying a hearing that could have made a restraining order against him permanent.

Lutfi and conservators for Spears’ estate agreed to have the restraining order extended for 30 days, Lutfi spokesman Michael Sands said Sunday.

“There is an agreement between Sam Lutfi and the conservatorship for the next 30 days,” Sands said. “Both parties are happy and will continue to work together to further resolve any issues that may have come up in the past.”

A judge was expected to approve the agreement Monday.

Phone messages and e-mails to lawyers for Spears, 26, and her estate co-conservators, which include her father, weren’t immediately returned.

A Superior Court commissioner last month ordered Lutfi to stay 250 yards from Spears and her home.

Spears’ mother, Lynne, requested the order based on allegations that Lutfi — Spears’ frequent companion and sometime manager — had held the singer hostage in her own home, drugged her and taken over her finances.

Spears’ father, James, was named one of two co-conservators of her estate after the singer was hospitalized twice in January. The conservatorship has been extended until July 31.

Conservatorships are granted for people deemed unable to take care of themselves or their affairs.

Before her hospitalization, Spears had shown increasingly erratic behavior. She shaved her head, was seen in public without underwear, ran over a celebrity photographer’s foot and attacked a vehicle with an umbrella.

Spears has since had very limited contact with her toddler sons who are under the sole physical and legal custody of her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

E! News has learned that Brit, who on Monday did a table read for her upcoming role on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother, will be on the Fox lot today for more rehearsals. The episode, in which the flirty celeb plays a flirty receptionist, tapes later this week. Way to show your range, girlfriend!

Spears is taking a break this week from her near-daily dance rehearsals while she focuses on her first TV acting gig since Will and Grace in 2006.

Can TV save the radio star?

Beleaguered pop diva Britney Spears has turned to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for protection against an alleged stalker, who she said threatened to kill her. Britney requested the agency for protection after she reportedly received a number of letters, including one on how to make a bomb. Besides this, the singer was delivered several packages that contained sex toys, and notes on the Middle East and Israel.

“We have been looking at allegations that have cropped up in the past couple of months,” Contactmusic quoted a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman, as saying. A FBI spokesman said: “We cannot comment on ongoing investigations.”
