Yayayayayay! It’s no shock that I adore Britney Spears, so this new news is very exciting for me (and all Britney fans!)

BritBrit will be releasing The Singles Collection this November in honor of her 10th anniversary on the music scene, AND it will include a brand new single, “3″ – which was produced by Max Martin, the genius behind “Baby One More Time.” The single will hit radio stations September 29th.

I know. OMG.

The Singles Collection will come in two versions:

• The ultimate fan box set version of The Singles Collection will include all 29 singles (complete with a b-side or remix) packaged in its own sleeve with original artwork. There will also be a DVD with all of Brit’s videos in chronological order and a booklet featuring the pop star’s iconic photos and trivia on each track.

• The other is a standard version that will include 17 of her greatest hits, including the new single “3″

Can’t wait!!!!! I know which version I’ll be purchasing!

A couple of celebrity mamas have given birth!

Ellen Pompeo and her hubby Chris Ivery welcomed a baby girl. Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery was born on September 15.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. also welcomed a baby girl. Charlotte Grace Prinze was born on September 19.

Congrats to all! I bet both girls are absolutely beautiful.

Patrick Swayze has lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.  He was 57.

His publicist confirmed the news that he passed away earlier today with his family by his side.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Look RIGHT HERE to catch up on all the crazy stuff that is happening at the VMAs as we speak!

- During Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for “Best Female Video,” about 15 seconds in, Kanye West jumped on the stage, grabbed her microphone and said the following: “Yo Taylor. I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” The camera panned to Beyonce, who looked mortified, and back to Taylor, who looked embarrassed and scared. He was quickly escorted off stage and booed. But poor Taylor’s speech was cut short! Click HERE to see it all happen!

- Britney Spears won the award for “Best Pop Video” and accepted her award via telecast because she’s on tour. HOWEVER, could it be that she’s secretly performing tonight?! A little birdie told me so. She’s actually on a HUGE break from her tour. Was she backstage pretending to be on tour? I think so!

- Green Day pulled up audience members during their set. Classic.

- Diddy and Jamie Lynn Sigler presented the award for “Best Male Video.” Diddy mentions Kanye West’s name and the audience booed, chanting “Taylor, Taylor!” Diddy opened the envelope to announce the winner and hesitated. It’s Kanye, isn’t it. Nope, Diddy psyched us all out, because T.I. won!

- Cyndi Lauper literally just appeared in a taped skit with Eminem and Tracy Morgan. Love love LOVE her!

- Pink performed “Sober” and did an entire acrobatic routine up in the air while singing…  with a pink pastie over her left boob. She was incredible!

- Beyonce won the “Video of the Year” award, and mentioned how much it meant the first time she took the stage. She then brought Taylor Swift so Taylor could give a proper speech. Such an amazing moment. Beyonce’s a classy lady. She has my respect.

There’s a poem on Britney.com that’s making the rounds. Could it be that my BritBrit is performing at the Video Music Awards tonight?! Check out the poem below:

Y’all keep shouting, “Gimme, gimme, gimme more,”
But little do ya know, some surprises are in store.

No matter how many gallons of Celebrity Juice you drink,
There’s more around the corner, so much more than you think.

So please quit breathing heavy, I hate to hear you sigh,
I know I drive you crazy… oops! I did it again, didn’t I?

As much as I lov3 contests, that isn’t what this is about,
I’ll tell you soon enough, ’cause I hate seeing B fans pout.

Now listen very closely, turn your radar up on high,
It’s something fr3sh and new, ok? I’d never tell a lie.

So sit back and relax, be patient one more tim3,
The answer can be found within this little rhyme.

Not like that,  get your heads out of the gutter.

Megan Fox is known to make some outlandish comments during interviews, even referring to working with director Michael Bay as working with Hitler. Ouch.

But some crew members from Transformers have come to Bay’s defense. They’ve written quite the scathing letter to Miss  Megan and it was posted on Bay’s official website by some guy named Nelson, who is the administrator of the site.  It is definitely a MUST READ:

“This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. FoxMichael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight. about

“Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.

“Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses’ life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina ‘ second thought ‘ she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelina is a professional.

“We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We’ve spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.

“We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often s–ty job of pulling Ms. Sour pants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.

“Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such ‘ the grump of the set?

“When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it’s very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) easily another 45 minutes in the chair!

“So when the three of us caught wind of Ms. Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to ‘working with Hitler‘. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.

“Say what you want about Michael ‘ yes at times he can be hard, but he’s also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason ‘ he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.

“He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.

“Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!

“And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she’s absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.

“Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walk’s first. John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!

“Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there’s the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them ’she is not nice.’

“The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, “I can’t believe Michael is f—ing forcing us to go to the f—ing pyramids!” I guess this is the ‘Hitler guy’ she is referring to.

So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly b—-. It’s sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they’re really looking up to.”

“But ‘Fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy! -Loyal Transformers Crew”

UPDATE: According to JustJared.com, Michael Bay removed the letter from his website, but said the following: “I don’t condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don’t condone Megan’s outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3. Michael”

Interesting, interesting. I’m thoroughly amused.

And replacing Paula Abdul is…….

ELLEN DEGENERES!

“DeGeneres will sit alongside Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi and offer her own unique perspective to the contestants throughout the competition,” Fox television said in a statement.

“I’m going to have a day job and a night job,” DeGeneres said at her talk show taping Wedneday. She also assured her audience that The Ellen DeGeneres Show will continue. “This is so exciting for me.”

I’ll definitely watch this season, now!

After what seemed like forever, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden finally welcomed a baby boy into the world.

“In the middle of night, the very early hours of September 9, 2009, Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. He weighs 7 lbs. 14 oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes,” wrote the couple on Nicole’s web site.

Sparrow joins older sister Harlow, who I’m sure is very excited to meet her little brother.

And I can’t wait for pictures!!
