After regaining some visitation rights with her kids, a bikini-clad Britney Spears celebrates in her backyard on Sunday with an unadulterated shake-shake.
Meanwhile, her new CD has some “slammin’ new songs,” says this review.
Certainly, the material on “Blackout” makes the most of that mechanized character. The 12-cut disk features wall-to-wall electro-fueled club cuts. There’s not a ballad in the bunch. The synth-dance smash single “Gimme More” tips off the rest.
“Radar” matches a sniping electronic beat to a snappy bubble gum tune. “Ooh Baby Baby” takes a Gary Glitter-style drum pattern and adds its own catchy chorus, while in “Hot as Ice” (perhaps the only song in which Britney sounds like a human being) the sound men concocted a striking dance-rock melange.
Luckily, with music this fun you won’t have to think about that too much. Instead think about this: How wonderful it is that, in the world of slick pop, even if stars can’t deliver, the machine behind them still can.
Once upon a time, it was Britney’s music that would get criticized to no end. But now that her train wreck of a private life is splashed all over the net, her efforts in the studio are music to the public’s ears.
Talk about a stragetic marketing plan!

She jumped the shark musically 2 albums ago. Washed up. She’ll never have a long lasting career. Even the gays won’t flock because she has no taste.
I love Britney but to be honest I have never bought a CD of hers but this CD I’m absolutely getting. I love every song on this album, its pure genuis. This album has the same sound as Justin Timberlakes Future Sex Love Sound. I think Britney album will do amazing in sales.
I cannot bear this bitch any more. The next story I wanna read about her is that somebody ran her over in an SUV.
Go for it hotstuff, I won’t be buying it. Actually I haven’t bought an album in over a year, I just download the singles I like and am glad not to be stuck with filler.
her efforts in the studio??? try the producer’s efforts to make shit into something worthwhile. the only thing brit had to do with the record is add her name to it. please!
Anonymous is absolutely right….everything I have heard from her is so enhanced and electronically fixed anyone could be mouthing the words. Barks is doing what everyone is going to be doing–buying singles only–CD sales are going away and the music industry seems to be having a hard time coming to grips with it. I guess when your unit selling price goes from $10-13 down to 99 cents you cry like a baby–deal with it.
Nice body.. Ahh who am I kidding, bitch looks like she lives off of crapucinnos. Oh yeah, wait, she does. She looks sloppy and saggy and it’s kinda nauseating. When she is clothed, she almost looks like she has a hot bod. I won’t be buying her shit. Maybe one day when she realises that without a fanbase she is nothing, and treats people with respect. Oh and if she actually starts singing instead of moaning.
As a singer, all she had going for her were her looks and dance skills… both of which are obviously gone for good. Not to mention any sense of shame– can’t believe she wants to be photographed with all that fat on display in a bikini.
Britney is an entertainer and unfortunately her freakshow of a life has taken center stage. Christina Aguilera had her freakshow too but her TALENT saved her, Britney won’t be so lucky.
I usually don’t defend this tramp, but what’ ‘fat’ are you talking about, piper? She looks decent to me.
Yeah she could be more toned, but I certainly wouldn’t say she has ‘ fat on display’. It could have been worse, like that Fantasia bikini pic from last week *shivers*
I’m not trying to flame, just askin’.
got a myspace, piper? would love to see a pic of you
BV: To me, Britney looks soft and doughy and just plain FAT. starr: You won’t see a photo of me, because I’m fat myself. The difference is that I’m working to get rid of mine, and refuse to flaunt it in public the way Britney does.
I should look so good in a bikini, HOWEVER, she looks like she is in dire need of a good scrubbing. Take off those nasty extensions and embrace your short hair, and for god sakes get a manicure and pedicure. The smoking and frappacinos don’t help your complexion much you ignorant cow…
@ piper- Ok, that’s cool. We’re all entitled to our opinions
that bikini is waaaaay too small…she looks horrible.
Thanks, BV.
I don’t think I’m overly critical but do you not see the saddlebags and the fat on her inner thighs? What about her upper arms? She actually has cellulite on her stomach. All of this is accentuated by her wearing a bathing suit 4 sizes too small.
Poor JT hit that.

Are you as horribly gigantically fat as Britney, pipes?
starr, I agree with piper to an extent.
her body just looks gross here (to me).
if she wore a bikini that was her size, she probably wouldn’t look half as bad.
starr: Are you as horribly gigantically fat as Britney, pipes?
me: AAMOF, I am… although I’d appreciate you showing me where I used the words “horribly gigantically” to describe her. And what’s your point anyway? Do you really think she looks good in a bikini, or are you just ragging on me for saying I think she doesn’t?
Anonymous 9:07,
I couldn’t agree more. She’s just plain gross. And so full of herself she doesn’t even notice it. I applaud piper’s honesty but this is not a blog about how posters look. None of us are entertainers supposed to earn their money with their looks. But if you’ ARE an entertainer, especially one with no other tangible talent, and if you’re serious about it, then you’re supposed to work it, baby. All Flabney does is making sure she gets her daily load of fast food, pop sodas and frappucinos. And I’m glad to see it shows. Even washing her hair or getting her disgusting nails done is too much for this hick. So move your ass, Porky Spears, or move on.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned the cigarette.
I think she looks better than a lot of people in a bikini. And much better than most bony “stars”, who’d want to screw a pile of sticks? I’m not ragging on you. And I don’t know what “AAMOF” is.
AAMOF = as a matter of fact
I think she looks fat, you think she looks good. Each of us is entitled to our own opinions. And as Darcy pointed out, what we look like is irrelevant to those opinions.
She’d look 10 pounds lighter if she had on a bathing suit that fit her properly.
Its a stretch to go from she doesn’t look fat to who’d want to screw a pile of sticks. There are many sizes inbetween. She is too heavy for her bone structure. I suggest any of you who think this is thin b/c you are the same size check your BMI. You’re in for a shock.
She looks like a sow. Could be bad camera angle. Ill-fitting bikini definitely doesn’t help.
She looks like a REAL WOMAN people! Geez, I can’t believe how warped our perceptions have become….
I think she looks big, too, which is odd, because in other recent pictures her body has looked good. Not amazing, mind you, but definitely normal and pretty sexy. starr, why do you always have to personally attack people who have a different opinion? It gets old.
Kate: If a “real woman” walked by me at the beach I’d throw a towel over her. This isn’t good for anyone!
I’m noticing she has Fred Flintstine feet.
lovely cigarrette.
Flintstone…..damn long nails.
Does a woman have to be overweight and out of shape to be considered “real”?
She’s always done well musically. Even if her personal life is screwed up and her music videos are nowhere near the standard she’s used to, she still knows what makes a good song. She’s got a distinct voice and the songs that I’ve heard off her album so far are really good. Nothing too deep or musically advanced, but good catchy pop songs with a cool vibe to them. I think that’s all a lot of people are looking for sometimes. I think her album will do well, just like all her past albums have. She looks funny in that picture as well, bigger than usual but probably just because of the angle. At least she looks happy. If only her bikini was a little bigger, it would flatter her body more.
