Britney Spears releases a music video on Wednesday that features the troubled singer as an animated superhero in a futuristic world.

The music video will premiere on Wednesday on dedicated Web site (www.BlackoutBall.com) at 6:30 p.m. EDT and accompanies her latest single “Break The Ice” — the third from her 2007 album “Blackout.”

The release of the video, along with an upcoming acting role on U.S. television comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” marks something of a comeback for Spears, 26, whose career has been sidelined by psychiatric problems and months of bitter child custody battles.

Spears’ Jive record company said the video was made in South Korea in Japanese anime style. Spears last year released two singles from the “Blackout” album which has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide but whose commercial success pales in comparison to the singer’s heyday six years ago.

Rihanna’s career is flying at the moment - she recently bagged a Grammy Award & has celebrated huge success with many of her singles - but the one thing the ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker is most grateful for is a Brit Award.

The singer - who turns 20 today, is bursting with pride that her music is appreciated across the pond. “I’m more excited than the Grammys,” she said. “The Brits are fantastic and I’m thrilled with my nomination.”

The pint-sized singer - who’s set to battle it out with Alicia Keys, Kylie Minogue, Bjork and Feist, in the Best International Female category, doesn’t reckon she’ll win the coveted gong - but is glad to be taking part. “I’ve got my fingers crossed. It’s a tough category,” she added.

What’s she’s most looking forward to, though, is her special performance with “badass” Brit band Klaxons.

She added to British newspaper The Sun: “They’re a badass band. I’m so excited to be working with characters like that. I was talking to Mark Ronson about our duet and he thinks it’s the coolest thing ever.

“I want to release our collaboration. It is so sick. I really wish we’d worked together earlier.”

Adnan and Britney are indeed still together, and after dining at Tony Taverna’s Greek & Eats in Malibu, stopped by Pinkberry in Brentwood for some dessert. The two then head towards the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, but along the way are struck by a wayward motorcyclist who reportedly was driving too close to Britney’s Benz in an attempt to gain a close sighting of the star.

L.A. drivers of all types are living up to their reputation as being somewhat dodgy drivers in rainy weather today! Be careful out there!

Sleepwalking trailer

The trailer for Sleepwalking, the new film starring Charlize Theron, Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Hopper and Woody Harrelson, exemplifies a terrible grasp on the power of italics. As for the rest, it’s sad to say as the cast is eclectic and has stories for days, but I’m ready to flick this film off to the overpopulated land of promising-indies turned unnecessary-and-forgotten-bummers.

Porn queen Jenna Jameson has left the adult film world reeling by announcing she is retiring from smut for good.

Jameson, 33, made the shocking revelation at the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas at the weekend.

Her announcement - which you can watch below - was met with boos from the audience of porn stars and adult industry executives.

Jameson made her porn debut aged 18 in 1993 after working as a stripper and glamour model.

She has since won more than 20 adult film awards and has been inducted into both the X-Rated Critics Organization and Adult Video News Halls of Fame

When she split from shorty shortison Tom Cruise she famously boasted ‘Now I can wear heels!’

But alas, she only went and married another vertically challenged man, singer Keith Urban.

And at this week’s London premiere of The Golden Compass, the couples’ height difference was blatantly obvious.

Keith is only 5ft 7 and a half – about the same height as Tom Cruise.

“Standing next to hubby Keith Urban, 5ft 10 inch Nicole STILL towered over him - even wearing inch high kitten heels,” says Sun Fashion Editor Erica Davies.

“They were hardly Posh Spice heel height proportions - around 5-inches - yet Nicole still looked like a giant.

“She also opted for a pale creamy colour which matched her dress.

“But as EVERY stylist knows, nude coloured shoes always make legs appear longer.

In this ensemble, Nic looked pale and not very interesting.

“But one thing’s for sure, she sure looked tall.”

Hayden Panettiere Is Crying

Hayden Panettiere doesn’t have much to worry about as an indestructible cheerleader on NBC’s “Heroes.”

But during a recent trip to Japan, the 18-year-old actress put her life on the line trying to prevent fisherman from slaughtering a group of dolphins.

In a dramatic display, Panettiere and five others paddled out on surfboards into the ocean on a pre-dawn mission to disrupt the local fishermen’s efforts to catch and kill the dolphins.

However, as the group made their way towards the pod of dolphins, who appeared to be caught in the net, Panettiere, a spokesperson for SaveTheWhalesAgain.org, and friends were intercepted by one of the small fishing boats.

The fishermen used the boat’s propellers to block the surfers’ way and used a long boathook to try and push them away.

The dramatic and dangerous encounter lasted for several minutes before Hayden and her group were forced to return to shore.

Upon reaching land, a visibly shaken Panettiere fell to her knees crying.

“It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook. But in the end all we really worried about was the dolphins,” Panettiere said in footage captured on video by the group. “It was so incredibly sad. We were so close to them and they were sky hopping, jumping out of the water to see us.”

As the group huddled together on the beach, an emotional Hayden fought back the tears as she explained what she saw while in the water.

That fisherman is crazy. He pokes at her with his rod and almost hits her with his boat’s motor blade.
Save the dolphins! Save the world!
