Britney "Considering" Shooting Video For Madonna Tour
A Britney Spears insider tells News that Britney and Madonna soon might appear onstage together…sort of.
“She is considering doing a video piece for Madonna’s tour,” says the source. Her video would appear on giant screens onstage. The European leg of the Sticky & Sweet tour starts next month.
The source called a report in London’s Sun newspaper “wrong” in saying that the Material Mom has invited the former Mouseketeer to perform with her and is taking further interest in her comeback.
20 random thoughts about Super Tuesday coverage
I wouldn’t call myself a political junkie, though I guess I do get that way every four years. The massive coverage the election gets from the news channels is both way overdone and endlessly fascinating.
Last night I watched the coverage of Super Tuesday. My plan was to try to stick to one station, since they’d have the results eventually, but my remote trigger finger got itchy and I was surfing all night. Here are a few random thoughts I jotted down.
1. I couldn’t watch CNN, at least not all night.. Those giant screens and all those graphics. At one point Wolf Blitzer was standing next to a massive lineup of 24 different pie charts, and I think he wanted to just throw his notes down and walk down the street to the nearest bar. John King was doing all these fancy things with his fingers on a screen, and it was hard to follow and kind of glitchy. It was the world’s most insane PowerPoint presentation.
2. Chris Matthews - gah! (Tim Russert - semi-gah!). Matthews was easily the most annoying person on TV last night (and that includes Randy Jackson on American Idol). He loves to hear himself talk. I think he stays in the studio long after everyone else has gone home and just sits there and talks and records it so he can go home and watch himself over and over again. And what’s with that ALF-ish “HA!” that he belches at least once an hour, usually off-camera? God.
3. CBS actually had some of the best coverage last night. I think there’s something to be said about just having a two hour show to give the results and analysis instead of the all day coverage you get on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. Katie Couric was loose, informative, funny (at one point making a joke about Jeff Greenfield’s cell phone going off), had a great team and one of the best screens of the night, just a monitor in front of her that the network shot from above. She joked that she was practicing her ATM skills.
4. Worst Dressed of the Night: Brit Hume over on Fox. Come on, a black pin-striped suit, striped shirt, polka-dot tie, and a white collar?
5. CSPAN’s coverage was low-key, like a local cable station that had a larger budget than usual. I happened to catch a viewer who called in from Missouri (supposedly) who actually said live on the air that he voted for Huckabee, though he was going to vote for Obama until Obama came to Missouri and “stole his TV set.” He then hung up and the anchor looked confused.
6. I have a feeling that CNN weatherman Chad Myers had no idea he was going to work as much as he did last night.
7. “Kansas Caucus” is really hard to say.
8.Tucker Carlson looks weird in a regular tie.
9. I still can’t get used to Chip Reid on CBS.
10. Most Boring of the Night: Bill Schneider and Soledad O’Brien on CNN. Schneider always seems shocked by every vote he analyzes, and O’Brien looks like she got the short straw when they picked what each person was going to do.
11. Campbell Brown needs a haircut badly.
12. Keith Olbermann was quite good. Too bad he didn’t work alone last night.
13. Shiniest Foreheads of the Night: Karl Rove and Bill Kristol over on Fox News.
15. When Mitt Romney told his supporters that he was going to keep fighting, his wife had an expression on her face that said “why am I here?”
16. Actual quote from Wolf Blitzer: “a good thing to have on your lap is a laptop.”
17. What’s with all the weird shots of people sitting down or walking around behind the anchors? The Fox News anchors seemed to be reporting results from some backstage party, and over on CNN they had two different analyst desks. When Blitzer or Anderson Cooper talked to the team in front, you could see the other team in back just sitting there, waiting to be talked to, or looking at their Blackberrys. At one point, you could see Paul Begala and Bill Bennett getting make-up applied by a CNN staffer. No joke.
18. Diane Sawyer was once a newswoman. It seems like such a long time ago.
19. Best Graphics/Info: CBS and MSNBC.
20. People like me who really suck at math must be masochists for watching eight hours of this stuff.

The Feeling - Without You Lyrics
Winters come and summers go
Last time round for all we know
Wonder what the time is in London
As they tear this world apart
Step by step it breaks my heart
Wonder what the time is in London
Well I know I’m not the only lonely child
Eighty dead and one teenage gun man
I wonder what the time is in London
Without you
CHORUS
I get up early every morning
(without you)
I open up the blind and I let the dawn in
(without you)
And then I think about growing older
(without you)
And my blood runs a little colder
(without you)
It’s raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
Tales of screams from giant screens
Full of fear and full of beans
Wonder what the news is in London
Tell me what I’ve always known
Life is love and love’s at home
Wonder if they miss me in London
These are the things that make us glad we’re still alive
Even though you heart’s in the dungeon
I wonder what the time is in London
Without you
REPEAT CHORUS
It’s raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
It’s raining hard in, North Virginia
Just like London town (just like London town)
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
na na na na na na na
(without you)
(without you)
It’s raining hard in, North Virginia
(without you)
Just like London town (just like London town)
Yeah! (without you)
It’s raining hard in, North Virginia
(without you)
Just like London town (just like London town)
(without you)
