T Swift's had heaps upon heaps of boyfriends and on one complains. Wait for media to grill her for the Jason breakup :files:

Taylor Swift is so blatantly a beard for all these closeted guys though.

Britney Spears has signed with CAA in all areas worldwide. She was with WME. After a season as a judge/mentor on Fox’s The X Factor, Spears is moving on. She is working on her 8th album, collaborating with Will.i.am and producer Hit-Boy. I hear she is also exploring doing a scripted comedy series, where she did well received guest stints on Will & Grace and How I Met Your Mother several years ago, as well as potential Las Vegas residency for a music show.

^I know! First, I think Skyfall is a really good soundtrack. Second, if either Britney or will.i.am was to hold a record for anything, it shouldn't be Scream & Shout.

Britney Spears Las Vegas Payday Could Exceed $100 Million, Experts Say

How rich does Britney Spears stand to get if she heads to Vegas?
—Elijah, Phoenix, via Twitter

Well, put it this way: Pop banshee Celine Dion reportedly managed to scare $100 million out of Caesars Palace last year when she cut a new deal to perform in 210 shows over the next three years. Spears' vocal range isn't nearly so terrifying, but I have reason to believe that Britney could command an even bigger figure...

It's truly staggering how much a megastar can earn doing live shows in Las Vegas.

One source estimated to me that Beyoncé was once offered $80 million for a single year of shows. Names of that caliber are known for bringing in about four times what they charge, and that's just at the Vegas box office. (The stars reap millions more for the city indirectly, through hotel rooms, money spent on dining—you get the idea.)

As for what Spears might charge a venue like, say, Caesars, don't be shocked if she asks for—and gets—at least as much as Celine Dion, promoters and managers tell me.

"She has a narrower appeal" than, say, a Dion, one music business expert explains to me. But then again, it would be a "good look" for whoever scores Spears—in other words, a publicity coup worth paying extra for.
So how much more are we talking?

Well, consider: It wouldn't be unheard of for an act like Spears to gross—no joke—$2 million a week at a place like Caesars Palace, says Daren Libonati, president and COO of the promotion and production company Justice Entertainment Group. For the sake of our little exercise, let's then say that the venue agrees to pay Spears a salary of $1.2 million per week.
If she works, say, 40 weeks a year, that's $48 million a year for her. And if she signs up for a Dion-like residency of three years, well, ka-ching: $144 million.

"Deals such as this are based on scale," Libonati explains. "That's a very basic guess on what such a deal might look like. It could be even more."

If that sounds like a lot, consider what another source of mine says: "It's good branding for whoever signs with her."

Britney is obviously cashing in her chips since it has been apparent in recent years that she has no interest in being a creative or relevant force in the industry. I was against the X Factor deal initially but as I said, Britney shows absolutely no interest in music or performing so she might as well use what's left of her relevance and star power and make major bank while she can through deals like X Factor and a Vegas residency.

^ Sad but most likely true. Something major happened to her 6 years ago which just broke her and it seems irrevocable.

I like Scream & Shout. It's not meant to be taken seriously, obviously.

"Fun" songs don't have to be shit though. They should still have at least decent lyrics, a good melody, good production and at least passable vocals. The song has none of those things.

The reason why she'll always have a dedicated fanbase :wub: Humbleney.

TGJ: Now, switching gears a bit, there’s often a lot of talk about writing credits, producer credits, etc. How much truth is there to all of that talk (i.e. giving up credits) and have you ever been on the receiving end of this?

Bangladesh: Man, that’s the game and that’s just how it is. You got to be a big artist when you can ask and demand something like that, but it happens. It’s not always a bad thing though because sometimes producers give beats away to no-name artists too (for no credit).

Then, sometimes if it’s an Usher or Beyonce type of act, you’re ok with giving it away because if they sing over your song, they’re going to bring great attention to it.

Producers don’t mind giving CERTAIN artist the credit. But, it’s mostly African Americans that do that kind of stuff. I hate to say it, but it’s true. I know people that have written for Britney Spears and different people that are in the pop world, and they don’t ask for that kind of stuff. Britney don’t ask for shit. If you wrote it, you just wrote it. She sings it and leaves.

It’s dog eat dog out there man. And, I’m sure there are some pop acts who demand full credit, but I’m just speaking from experiences I’ve had or heard about.

You've been saying these same things about Britney songs since 2006.

I quite like it although I prefer most of Femme Fatale. The video is horrible.

Britney has always been a talentless redneck, but her writers and producers have given her plenty of good songs to croak over. This is not one of them.

I think it's an ok song. Nothing to write home about but it works with Absolut Mandarin.
