[Britney Spears, 32, began her two-year residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Friday night. While some attendees loved the show featuring a "frequently airborne Spears," others complained Spears hadn't "donned the sexy school girl outfit or the skintight orange jumpsuit she wore in sexier days."

Ah, the sweet smell of desperation. Unlike the smell of success, it tends to accompany fallen pop stars, singers who’ve failed to “make it” in the showbiz, and more than a few ladies with a laundry list of divorces and annulments under their garter belts. Currently reeking of it are Madonna and Britney Spears who, as we noted yesterday, are planning a musical (well, under their definition of “musical”) collaboration that promises to top any and all racy stunts either has pulled in their respective never-a-dull-moment careers. And now Us reports that, beyond bondage scenes and nudity nobody wants to see anymore, Britney has filmed a video clip for the performance that sounds like Attack Of The Killer Umbrella-Bearing Baldie 2: This Time, With Hair! Yes, we’ll soon see an enormous Spears at her “screaming,” “kicking,” “anxious” best, giving a whole new meaning to elevator music:
Now that we've gotten a look at the official video for Britney Spears' "Gimme More" being unleashed on the world today (all of those de facto "making of" clips documenting the conditions under which it was created really whetted our appetite for the finished product), we think we better understand what was going on in her disastrous™ VMAs performance: when Britney wandered that MTV stage like a tranquilized stripper, she was just trying to remember the moves presented to her in a five-minute crash course in gentleman's club choreography she largely ignored on the "Gimme More" shoot, becoming disoriented by the presence of background dancers and the vexing absence of a pole. In any event, enjoy the latest video evidence that Spears' career comeback is proceeding about as successfully as her family life.
