Britney Spears Kisses Rihanna, Performs With Nicki Minaj at Billboard Music Awards
The Billboard Music Awards returned last night after an absence of several years, and it's safe to say Britney Spears did her best to make out up for lost time.
The pop superstar sealed her remixed version of Rihanna's "S&M" by planting one on her counterpart, then teamed up with Femme Fatale tour partner Nicki Minaj.
Nicki did her thing on "Super Bass" which led into her Britney joining her on stage for a powerhouse rendition of her latest hit, "Till The World Ends."

Britney Spears to Honor U.S. Marines With Free Concert Tickets
It's hard to hold this against her.
About a month ago, some very clever U.S. Marines rocked out to "Hold It Against Me" and posted a video of themselves lip-syncing to the Britney Spears hit.
The star loved it, and decided to show her appreciation for the video and their service to our country by inviting the troops to her Femme Fatale tour.
"I was so moved by the 'Hold It Against Me' video that the U.S. Marines of HMLA-169 and VMM-266 REIN made in Afghanistan," Spears told E! Online.
"It warmed my heart to see our nation's soldiers enjoying themselves to my music. I am honored to have them as guests at my concert this summer."
Britney adds, "I hope they like my show as much as I loved theirs."
God bless America and pop songs stolen from cheesy pickup lines!
Britney Spears in Harper's Bazaar: Life is Good!
With a new, critically-praised album out in Femme Fatale, two great kinds and a happy relationship with her beau Jason Trawick, Britney Spears is loving life.
"I feel like I'm drinking a tall glass of homemade sweet tea on a really hot, beautiful day," Spears tells the new Harper's Bazaar of life these days.
Sounds like Charlie Sheen would say she's WINNING these days. Might she continue that hot streak with another baby and marriage to Trawick?
"I've thought about both," Spears says. "So if the timing was right ..."
Having bounced back from a rocky 2007 (a custody battle with K-Fed and a short rehab stay), Spears looks back on how motherhood has transformed her.
"I think things through a little bit more. I worry a lot. I'm more straightforward. I speak up more than I did before," reveals the "Til the World Ends" singer.
"When I was young, I wouldn't speak up as much, but now that I'm a mom, things have changed." She was a mom during dark times too, but no matter.

Sam Lutfi Still Suing Britney Spears, Wants Court to Order Psych Evaluation
Remember Sam Lutfi? No?
Well, he's the shady, worthless individual who was "managing" Britney Spears when she went off the rails, and apparently the leech still wants a cut.
Now recovered and (mostly) happy, she will have to undergo a psychiatric examination if her former manager gets his way in court, where Sam is suing Britney and her parents for wrongful termination, breach of contract and defamation.
While frivolous, the lawsuit underscores how fragile Britney still is mentally.
So far, he has been unable to get the singer to sit for a deposition because, her attorneys have argued, she is "not competent" to testify in court.
Britney and the Estate of Britney Spears have been under a court approved conservatorship since February, 2008, following her public meltdown.
For all practical purposes, she is legally a child. Sad, but necessary.

Britney Spears Not Engaged Despite Wearing Huge Ring on Ring Finger
Britney Spears just likes jewelry, okay? Geez.
The singer's rep says that despite her wearing a huge rock on that finger, there is no truth to engagement rumors surrounding Britney and Jason Trawick.
"Completely not true," Spears' rep tells E! News of any of the latest round of rumors sparked by the pop superstar's piece of apparently random jewelry.
"It's not an engagement ring, not a story."
Sorry, but most people don't wear random jewelry that big or on that finger. So when Spears did (hanging with Nicki Minaj Friday), it caught attention.
It's Britney Spears. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but people are gonna notice, and wonder. Besides, it's about time she got hitched, right?
She and Jason have been together an awfully long time, and seem so happy together. We're not trying to rush her or anything. We're just saying.

U.S. Marines Get DOWN to "Hold It Against Me"
The few. The proud. The unlikely fans of Britney Spears.
The U.S. Marines from 266 Rein and HMLA 169 are a talented bunch. Not only do they deserve our respect and admiration for protecting our nation, they know how to have some fun - even "somewhere deep in the heart of Afghanistan."
That's where they produced and starred in this homage to Britney Spears' hit, "Hold It Against Me," which the singer personally saw and gave a shout-out to on her official blog. Experience the greatness of our country's finest below:
Britney Spears: Dancing "Till The World Ends" in Second Version of Music Video!
Britney Spears has just released an alternate version of her music video for "Till The World Ends," and this one is light on apocalypse, heavy on Britney.
Focused almost exclusively on the pop star's dance moves and less on the original's crazy special effects, it's a more traditional music video in a sense.
No end-of-the-world shots, doomsday references or general craziness here. Just dancing, partying and a sprinkler system. In other words ... NICE!
Check out the original version after the jump and see which of the two you like better. Videos aside, it's one of her catchier tunes in years, right?
First Listen: Rihanna & Britney Spears' "S&M" Remix!
We told you yesterday how Britney Spears and Rihanna were remixing the latter's kinky hit single, "S&M." Now we have the actual track for you!
In addition to adding her own voice to the chorus, Britney also offers up an all-new verse, breathlessly moaning about her own bad girl ways.
The single, released through New York's Z100, was first teased by the duo over the weekend on Twitter. Take a listen and comment below:
Britney Spears-Nicki Minaj Tour: It's On!
After extensive talks, Nicki Minaj has officially joined Britney Spears' upcoming summer tour, replacing Enrique Iglesias as the star's opening act.
A source close to the 26-year-old Minaj confirmed to E! that she's aboard and tour organizers expect the tandem should be a big concert draw.
More so than the Spanish crooner who pulled out last month? Probably.
1-2 PUNCH: Two Femme Fatales. One horribly pricey ticket.
Indeed, the choice of the Trinidad and Tobago-born hip-hop diva is probably for the best, given how foolish Iglesias' camp just made Ms. Spears look.
Hours after the pop princess revealed to Good Morning America that they joined forces, Enrique freaked about playing second fiddle and just bailed.
Other artists besides Minaj mentioned as replacements included Joe Jonas and Usher. Britney's Femme Fatale tour kicks off June 17 in Sacramento.
