Britney Spears' Candie's collection

Britney Spears has created her own fashion line.

The 'Toxic' singer has teamed up with fashion house Candie's - who she has previously modelled for - to create a limited-edition collection of apparel and accessories for the teen and tween brand, which go on sale this summer.

Britney tweeted: "At my photo shoot for the limited edition collection I designed for Candie's! I think you guys will love it!"

A spokesperson for the label confirmed the Britney Candie's collection - which will be available from Kohl's stores in the US and kohls.com - and said the pieces will reflect Britney's personal style, with prices ranging from $24 to $58.

Britney will also continue to model for Candie's and will appear in her own clothes in another set of ads for her collection, which will be due in the autumn.

Other celebrities to successfully start clothing lines include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B line; Jennifer Lopez's Sweetface brand; Kate Moss, who designs for Topshop and Justin Timberlake, who has his William Rast clothing line.

Britney Spears' sweet splurge

Britney Spears spent $3,000 on candy in one afternoon.

The 'Womanizer' singer splashed out the staggering sum at the Sugar Factory, which is located inside Las Vegas' Mirage hotel, which she visited with sons, Sean Preston, four, and three-year-old Jayden James, and boyfriend Jason Trawick on Sunday (27.09.09).

A source said: "She spent about $3,000 and walked out of the store with 10 bags. She got a bunch of candy and shirts for her kids and got a bunch of the couture lollipops to give to her back-up dancers."

Among the items Britney, who was in Las Vegas for the final US show of her 'Circus' world tour, bought were a box of Sugar Factor milk chocolate and 25 $25 lollipops.

After paying for the items the store sent another $2,500-worth of candy to Britney's room at the Mirage.

Britney pulled out all the stops for her final American show.

Barry Manilow and pop star Lance Bass were in the audience, and Britney spiced up the routine to 'Breathe On Me' by singling out Lance for a sizzling lap dance.

She also performed at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino on Saturday (26.09.09), as former Spice Girls star Mel B and 'Hannah Montana' actress Miley Cyrus looked on.

Britney Spears' presidential pie pledge

If Britney Spears was US President, she would give free pies to everyone.

The 'Circus' singer outlined the ways America would benefit from her leadership in a pre-taped segment aired on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' last night (18.08.09).

Dressed in a skimpy black bikini with an oversized red flower in the hair, the 27-year-old star jokingly discussed her plans for everything from the war on terrorism and fiscal strategies to a proposal to build a nightclub on the moon and make hip-hop star P.

Diddy her second-in-command. Britney Spears' 10 presidential pledges:

1. I'd be the first president to wear eye shadow since Nixon.

2. We would only invade fun places, like Cabo.

3. Free pie for everybody!

4. My situation room would be a cabana at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas.

5. I'd lure Osama Bin Laden out of hiding with the irresistible scent of my new fragrance Circus Fantasy.

6. Every presidential news conference would feature costume changes.

7. If I was president America might have a more coherent fiscal strategy.

8. I would challenge US to put a nightclub on the moon by the end of the decade.

9. Three words: Vice President Diddy.

10. Finally the media would pay some attention to me! This is the first time the singer has appeared on the US TV talk show since 2006.

Britney Spears' live boredom

Britney Spears continually changes her stage show to stop herself getting "bored".

The 'Womanizer' singer - who is currently completing the European leg of her 'Circus' tour - continually changes her set list and introduces new dance routines to ensure her performances are always fresh.

She explained: "We have a song called 'Mannequin' that we're adding to the show, which I'm really, really excited about, so it should be interesting. We have to update the show or it gets really boring."

The 27-year-old singer is currently in the French capital Paris, and admits it is one of her favourite cities.

She said: "It's going really well so far, I'm having a lot of fun. I'm very excited to be in Paris. It's one of the most beautiful places I've been to so far. It's very cool."

Britney isn't only changing her routines for her European fans, she's also making some alterations to her upcoming North America shows.

She explained to 'Entertainment Tonight': "We've changed up a couple of numbers in the show, so that's going to make it a lot more fun for me and the dancers. It'll be cool."

Britney Spears visits Eiffel Tower in Paris

Britney Spears gets more son access

Britney Spears has won increased custody of her children.

The 'Womanizer' singer - who has two sons, Sean Preston, three, and two-year-old Jayden James, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - is allowed to have the kids more than 50 per cent of the time while she is on tour.

Gossip website TMZ reports: "Lawyers for Britney and Kevin Federline have filed docs with the family law Commissioner Scott Gordon, stating they have reached a new temporary custody arrangement." Britney is currently completing her 'Circus' world tour and the new agreement will be effective during the rest of June, July and August.

The pair's lawyers have reportedly agreed which days each of them will spend with the boys. When Britney's series of shows ends later this year, custody will return to a 50/50 split.

It has previously been claimed Britney could only see her children while touring if Kevin - who won primary custody of the kids after 27-year-old Britney's breakdown last year - agreed. She was even said to be paying him $4,000 a week to travel with her so she could be near the boys.

Britney Spears romancing agent

Britney Spears is dating her agent.

The 'Womanizer' singer - who has been romantically linked to everyone from paparazzo Adnan Ghalib to her back-up dancers - has reportedly found love with Jason Trawick.

The 27-year-old star's strict father Jamie Spears - who took legal control of Britney's personal and financial affairs last year - is said to approve of her new man.

A source said: "They are totally and definitely dating. Her dad loves him. He's the best thing that has happened to her."

Britney - who has two children Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, with ex-husband Kevin Federline - has been photographed with Trawick several times in the past few months.

The 37-year-old manager even accompanied the singer on her May trip to the Bahamas with her boys.

The pair are currently in London, where Britney is performing the UK leg of her 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears' tour.

Friends claim the pop beauty fell for Trawick - who is a childhood friend of her brother Bryan - when they first met a few years ago.

The source added to People magazine: "They're very sweet together. Britney has always had a crush on Jason. He makes her really happy, and he's great with the boys."

Britney's representative is yet to confirm the relationship.

Britney Spears' MTV meltdown revealed

Britney Spears allegedly binged on tequila shots moments before her disastrous performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

The 'Toxic' singer - who had months earlier entered rehab after shaving her head - had been planning her routine at the prestigious event for months to prove to the world she had fully recovered from her personal problems.

However, insiders have now revealed she wasn't mentally ready to perform and was drunk when she went out on stage.

In his new book 'Britney: Inside the Dream', writer Steve Dennis claims: "Britney herself managed to ruin the most important performance of her life. Hours before the show, her anxieties raged. She decided it was a good idea to start drinking tequila shots to calm her nerves - one after the other."

Britney's fragile mental state was also reportedly tested when her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake came into her dressing room to wish her luck.

Dennis revealed in the book: "Justin was cool and couldn't have been friendlier, but that wigged her out more."

Her preparations descended into chaos when Britney allegedly refused to let celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves attach her hair extensions.

When Britney told Ken to leave, her staff began desperately searching for other hair extensions - which were needed because her natural locks were still very short - and they had to quickly find some from her hotel's salon.

When the mother-of-two did appear on stage - dressed in an unflattering black underwear set and fishnet tights, after reportedly refusing to wear the agreed more flattering one-piece - she looked dazed, forgot some of the lyrics to her song 'Gimme More' and barely joined in with the dance routines.

The performance was ridiculed by many critics and the book claims Britney - who was going through a messy divorce and custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline - was in tears for 45 minutes after leaving the stage.

The months after her chaotic comeback saw her lose custody of her two young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

In January 2008, was taken to a psychiatric ward after holding Jayden hostage in her home.

She has since turned her life around and at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards she looked a picture of health and collected two prizes.

She is currently performing in 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears', her first concert tour in five years.

Britney Spears' family tour

Britney Spears has been taking parenting advice from Madonna.

The 'Toxic' singer has revealed she consulted her idol - who raises three children - when deciding whether or not to take her young sons, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, on tour with her.

A source said: "Madonna gave Britney some great advice about her kids.

Madonna told her, 'Keep them close when you're on the road. I have always taken my kids on the road with me. It's a life they learn to accept, as long as they're with their mom. You want to look back on those years and know they are with you. They'll look back on these years too and they'll be very glad to have those memories.' "

Britney - who is accompanied on her 'Britney Spears Presents the Circus' tour by her sons and ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has primary custody of the children - agreed with her mentor's view and hopes them seeing what she does first-hand will impress them.

Britney, 27, said: "I do think it's all about history. What we as mothers are doing is creating this history with our kids that we can look back on and say, 'Yeah, that was hard. But it was fun because we did it together.' When they're adults I want my kids to say, 'Wow, my mom was working hard but she was there for us.' "

However, there are some parts of her show which the 'Womanizer' star won't allow her boys to see.

An insider explained to Britain's Hello! magazine: "She wants them around all the time. Except maybe not for the parts of the show she thinks are too suggestive. A couple of times along the way Britney's mother Lynne has taken the boys out of the arena when the show gets a little outrageous."

Britney Spears unveils bikini body as she shows off 'new man'

Revealing her new tanned and toned figure, it seems Britney Spears has finally put her troubles behind her. The bronzed singer showed off a slender physique on the beach in a sexy brown bikini.

Joined by her father and brother, the family outing gave Britney a chance to take time out from her tour as she played with Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, in the Carribbean.

But perhaps it's the new man in her life that has her beaming. Britney has reportedly been dating Jason Trawick, her agent, and by the looks of things, the singer is smitten.

The pair frolicked in the water and Britney appears to have made a full recovery after her public meltdown two years ago.

It was recently revealed that the pop star, 27, who made more than £7.6million last year, spent an eye-watering £6.7million over the 11 months to December 31, 2008.

And it appears the reported $7,000 a month for bills on her diet and exercise regime has paid off. Miss Spears is well known for her extravagant spending and diva demands but figures lodged with a Los Angeles Court show that she is splashing the cash at a rate of £609,000 a month.

The singer is enjoying renewed success after a disastrous couple of years where her increasingly erratic behaviour lead to her being taken into psychiatric care under a mental health order. But bizarrely, she is now spending more on security and staff, than she is on the care of her two young sons.

Miss Spears, who is on a world tour, splashed out nearly £300,000 on her security team and £124,500 on general staff. In contrast the star, who is worth more than £60million in total spent just £118,000 on her young boys.

Britney Spears' classroom ambition

Britney Spears wants to become a teacher.

The 'Womanizer' singer is growing increasingly frustrated living life in the constant media glare and would love a 'normal' career.

Her cousin Alli Sims said: "Britney would always say, 'Maybe I just want to be a teacher. I just want to do something on a normal level. I've been something for so long.' "

Alli also defended her cousin's behaviour in 2007, which resulted in the mother-of-two shaving her head.

She added to entertainment website Splash: "It seemed a lot crazier than it really was because it made simple things just like going to Starbucks seem so out of hand.

"It was insane because of the paparazzi, but it really wasn't that bad when you were sitting there going through it personally.

"I just thought it was interesting how people expected us to stay home and not go anywhere. It's not her fault she has that many people following her around."

Britney has worked hard to put her career back on track and is currently in the middle of a sold out world tour.

Spears seeks smoke-free zone for London stay

Britney Spears is demanding a hotel room that has never been smoked in for the UK leg of her European tour.

The Womanizer singer is said to have made several requests to London's Dorchester Hotel, where she will stay next month when her tour reaches England, including humidifiers in every room, Marilyn Monroe DVDs and 100-watt light bulbs.

Spears has also asked for celebrity magazines, women's novels and fresh flowers that she will arrange herself.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Britney may only be staying in the city for two weeks but she knows exactly what she wants.

"She'll be bringing all her own pillows for ultra-comfort and her security will sleep outside her suite every night."

Britney has requested tickets for West End theater productions, as well as a place to horse-ride and a map of running routes around nearby Hyde Park.

The Circus Starring Britney Spears will appear at London's O2 arena for eight shows between June 3 and 14.

Britney Spears scared of air

Britney Spears is buying a 15,000 oxygen chamber to protect her voice.

The 'Womanizer' singer - who reportedly lip synchs to her songs during performances on her current world tour - is set to splash out the sum because she is terrified of "bad air" ruining her career.

The move comes after Britney stormed off stage in Vancouver, Canada, because the arena was too smoky last month.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Since her Vancouver show, where she ran off stage as it was too smoky, she's become paranoid about breathing in too much bad air. "She's keen on an oxygen chamber that will reverse any smoke inhalation damage."

Fans at the 27-year-old's Canadian concert in her 'The Circus starring Britney Spears' tour were told the show was stopped because of people smoking cigarettes and marijuana in the arena, making it "unsafe" for Britney and her performers.

Britney later returned to the stage to continue the show, and at the end of her set she told the audience: "Thanks Vancouver. You were wonderful. Drive safe. Don't smoke weed!" 'The Circus starring Britney Spears' is currently finishing its US leg, and scheduled to kick off in Europe with eight shows at London's O2 arena from June 3.

Britney Spears demands stripper pole

Britney Spears has requested a stripper pole be installed in her hotel room.

The 'Toxic' singer - who is a huge fan of pole dancing as it helps maintain her new slender figure - made the unusual request to staff at London's Dorchester Hotel, where she will be staying when she performs at the city's O2 arena in June as part of the UK leg of her 'Circus' tour.

A source said: "Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favourite work out. She gets the toning she needs without having to hit the gym and wants to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room.

"Keeping fit on tour is very important as her show involves lots of rigorous dance routines, so Britney likes to do her pole dancing workout first thing in the morning."

The mother-of-two has also requested the hotel provide a chef from restaurant chain Nando's to be on hand to cook her spicy chicken whenever she feels like it.

Britney's request comes just days after Russell Brand asked for a private pole.

The British comic star - who once gave Britney sex tips - is set to stay at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino when shooting starts on movie 'Get Him to the Greek' in Las Vegas.

Russell has requested the famous Apex suite, known as the "ultimate bachelor pad", and has its own stripper pole.

Britney Spears extends "Circus" tour to Europe

Singer Britney Spears has extended her "Circus" concert tour to include a dozen European shows taking her from London to Russia, the pop star's representatives said on her Web site on Wednesday.

Spears kicks off the European leg of her tour with a June 19 show in Dublin, Ireland, with later stops in France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Poland and a final European stop July 26 in Berlin.

She began her "Circus" tour March 3 in her home state of Louisiana, and the tour features 39 North American dates.

Britney Spears fights for gay rights

Britney Spears supports gay marriage.

The 'Circus' singer - who passionately kissed Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards in 2003 - has vowed to fight for homosexual rights.

Writing on her Twitter page, Britney said: "Love is love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy. I have lots of gay and lesbian friends and I want to see them get married.

"I'll do whatever it takes to make their dreams come true. Discrimination has no place in America."

Meanwhile, the 27-year-old pop star is currently struggling with the choreography in her current tour 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears'.

The dance routines are reportedly so demanding they make her vomit.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "The choreography is insane - it's so fast it is really taking its toll on her. But there is one move during 'Touch Of My Hand', where two guys dangle from the ceiling and pick her up upside down, which is really getting to her.

"She spins around for nearly five minutes some nights. The blood rushes to her head and when she gets down she complains of nausea and dizziness. There have been a couple of times when she ran off stage and vomited. She's asked if it can be changed."
