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.

Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse missed what was to be the biggest event of her year - her 25th birthday.

Friends and family kept on waiting for the singer at the After Dark club in Soho, New York, where a surprise celebration had been arranged for her, reports dailymail.co.uk.

But the birthday girl never arrived and as the evening wore on, they had no choice but to carry the celebrations on behalf of her.

Winehouse has also been in the news recently when she caused shock waves after ordering 48 bottles of Jack Daniel’s at Bestival.

Fans fear that the singer, who is reportedly suffering from emphysema caused by smoking crack cocaine, is just days from death.

Her father, Mitch, said that her Bestival performance should be her last until she makes a recovery.

Want to have a topless Britney Spears in your living room? A five-foot-by-four-foot painted version, that is. Sorry.

An oil painting of Britney by Daniel Maltzman - autographed by La Spears herself! - is being auctioned eBay to raise for the Promises Foundation, which provides assistance for low-income mothers and their children.

The portrait shows Britney in a bikini with her eyes closed and her arms crossed across her, erm, bosoms - in a typical ‘old’ Britney way - and she’s also showing off her belly button ring.

But hey, don’t take my word for it - go see the auction on eBay. It ends on 20 September, and at the time of writing, it’s currently standing at $13,400. Good luck (and dig deep)!

Britney Spears is to star at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, a year after a calamitous comeback performance at the same award ceremony. But this time the pop singer won’t be performing.

Spears will be opening the 25th annual edition of the MTV VMAs on Sunday at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, according to MTV’s website.

That means she will be on hand if she wins an award. Spears has garnered three nominations for the clip to her single “Piece of Me” — Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year.

“MTV has long played an important role in my career,” Spears said in a statement. “How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs? I’m excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated.”

Exactly how she planned to open the show remained unclear. In previous appearances she has kissed Madonna and performed with a writhing snake.

Spears has yet to win an MTV Video Music Award, and her nominations this year are particularly tantalizing after her much-derided appearance in 2007, when she lip-synched her way through a dance number in an ill-fitting black bikini.

Coming off two marriages, two children and two stints in rehab, Spears sought to launch a career comeback on last year’s show with a performance of the song “Gimme More” that proved a publicity bomb for her but a ratings boon for MTV.

But with Spears said to be cleaning up her act and back in the recording studio this summer, working on a new album, MTV has made the most of the suspense surrounding her possible return to the VMAs, refusing until Wednesday to say whether she might appear as a presenter or performer.

The MTV VMAs, long considered a hipper version of the Grammys, will be broadcast live on MTV on September 7, hosted by British comedian Russell Brand.

Lindsay Lohan’s father Michael has challenged Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline to a boxing match, to raise money for charity.

Lohan Snr, a former convict, wants the bout to raise money for a cancer charity based near his Long Island, New York home.

Although Federline has yet to be approached, Lohan is already planning his training regime.

He tells Ok! magazine, “Everyone wants me to fight K-fed because he’s a notorious celebrity dad and so am I. It’s for charity.”

“It’s serious boxing. You have to go get a trainer. I have to register with the Mature Boxing Association.”

And if Federline says no - he’ll search out another willing celebrity opponent: “I don’t care who it is; it’s for charity. I’ve been beaten up by the press, so I don’t care if I get a few shots by a kid half my age.” Lohan is even trying to pair up his girlfriend Erin in a fight, adding, “They’re trying to match her up with Debbie Gibson.”
