The Trenti fraps, Jack Daniels toothpaste and Day-Glo paint fumes were flowing freely in the studio the day music's classiest angels collaborated on the second single for the upcoming Femme Fatale. That's right, Britney Spears' new electro-fied track "Till The World Ends" was penned by Ke$ha (a collaboration that makes complete and utter cents sense) and despite its slated release date of Friday, March 11, the song has leaked.

With a better picture, err, earful of what many are touting as Britney's "comeback" sound forming as more music is released, do you think 2011 will be the year of the Spears? Follow the jump and let us know!

Another Britney post today?! At this rate, there's really going to be nothing else for any other magazine to report...

Now this is a Britney cover we can all get behind! 

Looks like the media blitz has officially started, with Britney's first magazine cover (and interview) in support of the upcoming Femme Fatale release this month. And I have to say I like the more covered-up Brit! Sexy but not trying to hard. And finally—some good weave!

Check out another shot from the V Magazine March issue below, photographed by Mario Testino.

If you heard mysterious dramatic weeping around lunch time it likely originated from the Instinct office today where some of us wept into the creatine-spiked margaritas we drank for lunch after receiving word that Britney Spears is not -- as the Washington Post and Toronto Sun erroneously reported -- the greatest gay icon.

Seems the Post and the Sun relied on an article stemming from a fake poll, which itself stemmed from a fake organization called the Orange County Equality Project. The South Florida Gay News, obviously not fans of Britney Spears, sniffed out the true story. 

After SFGN reported Saturday that the Washington Post and Toronto Sun may have relied on a fake news story about Britney Spears being...

You've had some time to let the drag-stravaganza that is the music video for "Hold It Against Me" from Britney Spears to simmer, so now it's time to dish, dolls. Jonas Akerlund, the director of this video as well as Lady Gaga/Beyonce's "Telephone," pulled out all the tricks -- and tight corsets -- here to make Miss Britney shine. So, Instincters, are you feeling it or will you hold this music video against Britney Spears?

Move over 12 gays of Christmas and Keith Olbermann (oh wait...), we have a new favorite countdown: The 14 days until Britney's "Hold It Against Me" music video premieres! Our Lady of Cheetos just announced the countdown on Twitter, and revealed that a super-short teaser video will be published on YouTube every day until it reaches fever pitch in two weeks when the full Jonas-Akerlund-directed music video for "HIAM" is released!

And man, the guys we send pics to on Grindr claim we're real good teases, but this inaugural video from Britney puts even our teasing skills to shame, so don't set your hopes too high...

We know that we all like rimming our morning-time margaritas with huge grains of salt, but lets add an extra dash to go along with this story, however believable it actually sounds. 

TMZ is reporting that momma Britney Spears's special diet of Cheeto's, McDonald's and trenti-sized iced mochas has left her dance-forged body less than nimble on the set of the music video for "Hold It Against Me." Supposedly the bitch can't keep up with the assigned choreography, so the record label has hired a body double to film Brit Brit's fancy legwork. 

"Multiple sources on the music video set tell TMZ, Jonas Akerlund, the director, was upset that Britney hadn't practiced enough...

It's no secret that this blog is a huge fan of Ryan James Yezak's music video "parodies" (though a better word might be "re-imaginations"). For his latest, RJY once again jumps the shark by releasing his version of a music video before the actual artist's premieres (think Peacock). Breathing silver-spray-painted life into "Hold It Against Me," (Britney's chart-destroying dubstep single), RJY adds some new elements...

Last week it was reported that director-of-the-moment Jonas Akerlund (Lady Gaga's "Telephone") would be the man responsible to bring Britney's No. 1 smash "Hold It Against Me" to life in video form. Well, according to Britney's publicist (a.k.a Twitter), shooting started yesterday and the video will be her best yet. 

"Day 1 of the HIAM shoot with Jonas. Such an incredible experience. I think this will be one of the best videos I have ever done. -Brit"

Today, for the second day of shooting, Britney tweeted a sneak peek of the video, as seen above. 

What I've been getting from word-of-mouth reports out and about (even from Britney die-hards) is that most in the gay community are disappointed with "Hold It Against Me." So for ...

Proof that you can have a bad weave and still rule the world...

Britney's new song, "Hold It Against Me," is apparently #1 in every country with Internet access. I'm still holding it against her for not putting out a better first track, though...

Choreographer of the moment Laurieann Gibson confirmed via Twitter that Lady Gaga will indeed perform at the upcoming 53rd Grammy Awards on February 13. All signs point to a performance of "Born This Way," the lead single from the eponymous new album, which Gibson calls "soulful and epic." 

Earlier in the week it was speculated that Britney Spears would also perform on the awards broadcast which a few in her clique have since denied. However, when it comes to Britney and awards shows, it's always left up until the very last minute and fans are holding out hope that the rumors prove true.
