The 29-year-old pop star is currently enjoying success with her seventh studio album Femme Fatale, with 2011 shaping up to be a monumental year for her.
The star famously suffered some personal struggles back in 2008, when her bizarre behaviour and hospitalisations caused her to be placed in a conservatorship. Stylist and director William Baker worked on Britney’s 2009 Circus tour, and claims he had nothing but respect and admiration for her.
“She was really nice, no crazy moments. I mean, she’s a trooper isn’t she?” he told the British edition of OK! magazine.
William, whose other famous clients include Australian songstress Kylie Minogue, admits he is often drawn to working with UK stars because they are so much fun. He finds the showbiz industry in America to be far more straight-laced.
“It’s very different working in America – it’s a lot more serious,” he explained.
“When you work with most Brits you can have a laugh, but in America it’s proper business.”
Britney Spears is suddenly a player in the remix game, first dropping in on Rihanna’s “S&M” (which instantly sent that song back to the top of the Billboard Hot 100) and now hosting both Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj on a reworked version of “Till The World Ends.”
Spears premiered the song at her own site and tweeted the single’s cover art. You can listen to their three-way take here.
While Keha’s contribution is generally ignorable—besides the fact that she, know, c0-wrote the track in the first place—Minaj’s cartoonish rap at the top doesn’t jibe very well with the rest of the song’s razor-sharp cool. It’s as though Minaj is rapping on a different song that you have to get through in order to get to the real song.
Of course, any version of “Till The World Ends” is going to work with the “whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohs” in there, and this will certainly give Spears and Minaj an excuse to be onstage together when the two go on tour this summer.
