Britney Spears and will.i.am Debut “Scream and Shout” on X Factor

Nov 29, 2012 @ 10:15 am

On last night’s episode of The X Factor, judge and reigning pop princess Britney Spears debuted her newest video with her frequent collaborator, rapper/producer will.i.am, for his song “Scream & Shout.” It’s been a while since we’ve seen Brit Brit in a music video—the last time was more than a year ago, when she put out “I Wanna Go“—and she’s making quite the comeback with this latest clip. Channeling the ’80s era of vogue-ing, Britney (and will.i.am too, for that matter) works a club-ready look for this club-ready jam in midriff-baring sequin outfits, a nude/black shard and fringe corset from The Blonds, gold accessories, black leather gloves, and plenty of volumized hair. “He is like a big kid to work with,” Spears said of her collaborator. “It was a lot of fun, we had a lot of fun.” Check out the clip above, and (spoiler alert!) the song revives an iconic line of Britney’s from her song “Gimme More.” Can you guess what it is?

Poll: Are the Presidential Debates and Baseball Interfering With Your Favorite Shows?

Oct 18, 2012 @ 2:25 pm

The powers that be our messing with our favorite primetime shows! America’s favorite pastime, baseball, and this little thing called the Presidential election keep bumping around the lineup. Last night, The X Factor went to a commercial break and never returned thanks to a baseball rain delay, leaving only 10 out of the 16 final contestants announced to the dismay of many fans—us included. (The show is supposed to return next week, and bump out new episodes of the New Girl and The Mindy Project!) Plus, Glee went on a forced month-long hiatus, not to return until November 4th. “I had nothing to do with it,” Ryan Murphy told InStyle.com at this week’s Golden Hearts Awards. “People think I control the schedule or something. I would like to take this opportunity to say I fought it.” So, we want to know: Are you upset that your shows have been rescheduled?
