Britney Spears needs makeover, says Whitney Port - Zee News

Britney Spears needs makeover, says Whitney Port London: `The Hills` star Whitney Port says she wants to give Britney Spears a makeover. The 27-year-old new `Britain & Ireland`s Next Top Model` judge is a huge fan of the popstar but despairs of her style choices, reported Contactmusic.

"I love her so much and want her to succeed and she has so much potential. Her style choices, as well as her hair and make-up, could do with a little sophistication," she said.

However, there are some celebrities whose style Port admires, notably famous British faces such as Cheryl Cole and the Duchess of Cambridge.

"Cheryl Cole`s great. I love how she defies fashion boundaries. And Kate Middleton is doing an amazing job staying appropriate with fashion in the role that she`s in with all eyes on her. I especially love the grittiness of east London fashion - girls like Alexa Chung and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have influenced a lot of my new Whitney Eve collection," she added.

Jamie Lynn Spears Sings Country Tune 'I Look Up to You' for Big Sister Britney ... - Taste of Country

Jamie Lynn Spears, the little sister of pop diva Britney Spears, debuted the country-esque song ‘I Look Up to You’ at a showcase at Nashville’s 3rd & Lindsley Bar & Grill recently.

Video of the performance has landed online, and we’re pleased to report that Jamie Lynn â€" who moved to Nashville back in 2009 in hopes of jumpstarting her career in country music â€" has a knack for twangy, heartfelt ballads. She can sing and was incredibly believable while delivering her intimate lyrics.

Jamie introduced the song by saying, “You can imagine who I wrote it about.” It’s not exactly going out on a limb or making a leap of faith to realize she is speaking about her big sister, who went through the ringer in public fashion a few years ago, shaving her head, being chased by paparazzi and melting down for all the tabloids to see and feast upon.

The song burns slow, and showcases Jamie Lynn’s vocal ability and songwriting talents. Spears, 21, also looks exactly like her big sister, one of the most photographed women in the world.

She sings, “Scared little girl / Living in a big old world / You’ve outgrown your room / It all happened way too soon / They took away your innocence / We forgot our strong defense.” How touching and sweet. Britney is lucky to have such a thoughtful young sibling.

Footage of Jamie Lynn, who is also a young mom, performing with country singer Pam Tillis surfaced earlier this year. It appears as though Jamie Lynn is making strides on the country scene.

Britney Spears' new BFF: LA Reid - TheCelebrityCafe.com

Wonder what her fiancé Jason thinks

New X-Factor judge Britney Spears has gotten a lot closer with the other judges, but LA Reid has gotten so close that the pop icon named him her new best friend forever.

Early this morning, Britney, 30, tweeted, “We become a little more BFF every single day.” Later, LA Reid, 56, tweeted a similar message, “Providence was amazing. Every single day has been brilliant with my new BFF @britneyspears @TheXFactorUSA.”

Days before on June 27, Reid tweeted a picture of Britney kissing him on the cheek with the caption, “Now THIS is #Britneylicious.” Britney replied, “Oh and this is only the beginning! You just wait.” With a little flirtation like that, fans can’t wait to see the rest either!

Despite rumors of Spears clashing with judge Demi Lovato, an insider told Us Weekly that there is no drama between them. “Britney and Demi are getting along great. Whenever they aren't filming, Demi and Britney are chatting and hanging out...They are seriously bonding big time. It's nice to see.”

Yesterday marked the third day of auditions in Providence, Rhode Island, which was the fourth location of The X Factor nationwide audition tour.

The auditions continue on July 8-10 in Greensboro, North Carolina, meaning Britney has a week off to hang out with her other BFF, fiancé Jason Trawick and sons Sean and Jayden.

Britney Spears - Britney Spears Spills Out Of Red Bandage Dress - Contactmusic.com

Britney Spears showed off her curves and cleavage earlier this week, as she arrived to the latest X Factor USA auditions in a revealing curve-hugging red bandage dress.

Her sexy red look was topped off by her trademark blonde locks flowing freely by her side, as she claimed just about all the attention in her revealing red number.

The 'Toxic' singer was clearly thrilled to be reunited with her fellow panellists, after praising the San Francisco audience as the crew moved across the Atlantic side of the states as auditions in Providence took way.

She and her fellow judges were greeted by thousands of screaming fans, eager to see the musical idols, with Brit closely guarded by her fiancé Jason Trawick. Trawick has long acted as Britney's bodyguard, manager and confidante since the two first hooked up, and it looks like his self-assigned responsibilities are unlikely to die down any time soon, as he clung by Brit's side as they made their way through the crowd of people.

All the judges, bar Simon Cowell, eagerly took to Twitter to share their excitement of judging talent at the Rhode Island city, with former Disney star Demi Lovato and Epic Records exec La Reid both exclaiming their excitement via the micro-blogging site.

When Charlotte met Britney: Ms Church reveals a VERY bizarre encounter with ... - Daily Mail

They were both child stars but they couldn't have been more different, one was a clean-cut Opera singer in slacks, the other a former Disney star blonde bombshell wearing the shortest school skirt she could get her hands on.

But voice of an angel Charlotte Church has revealed a chance encounter with Toxic Britney Spears, in LA at a swanky celebrity bash.

The 27-year-old appeared on Graham Norton and explained to the host her bizarre meeting with pop's former Disney princess.

Giving it her all: Charlotte's outfit complimented her lightened hair beautifully

Chance encounter: The pair met when Church, pictured left performing yesterday, was 15 and Britney who is three years older, was 18

She said: 'I was at a party and Britney was there. Her PA came up to me and said, 'Britney is a massive fan and would really like to meet you,' and I was, 'okay, not a problem,' and I went over and Britney just kind of turned and said, 'hi' then turned away and carried on.

'The woman ushered me away and said, 'That was so amazing for Britney, she just loved you.''

And although the pair may not have had similar images when they were younger, they could be said to have a lot in common, they both had children in their twenties and both appeared as judges on reality talent shows, Britney on X Factor USA and Charlotte on Over The Rainbow in 2010.

The singer, who took to the stage yesterday at Cornbury Festival with her new single Rise, also told the chatshow host how she went boozing with Hollywood heavyweight, and fellow Welsh celebrity, Catherine Zeta-Jones after a golf tournament.

She revealed her husband Michael Douglas was left 'fuming' when she and the Swansea-born actress were 'singing and having a great time'.

The singer and TV host was just one of the celebrities who headlined at the festival which started yesterday and many fans took to Twitter saying the Welsh stunner stole the show.

The popular festival, held at Great Tew, near Chipping Norton, Oxon, now in its ninth year, attracted a large crowd and among those due to appear on stage over the weekend with the Welsh singer were Elvis Costello, Jools Holland, Marc Almond and Alison Moyet.

It is believed Church made it a family affair and brought along her two children to camp in the festival grounds.

Fans certainly enjoyed her set, taking to Twitter to show their support with one follower saying: 'So, what's the difference between Charlotte Church and Pixie Lott... err, real band, real music and a doo doo load of talent.'

Church performed in a hippy dress which showed off her slim legs and the pale salmon highlighted her newly lightened hair.

The Cornbury Music Festival runs until Sunday and apart from the music acts, festival-goers are entertained by a fairground, Morris Dancers and children's and adults' theatre workshops.
