Britney Spears’ new music video, Gimme More, is set to debut on MTV Monday, Oct. 8th during TRL. This version leaked onto the internet a couple of days ago but do you think this is the real thing? Like her MTV VMA performance, this lackluster video featuring four minutes of a brunette Britney pole dancing while a blonde Britney looks on. Just as anything else she’s put out lately, it’s just bizarre. Leave a comment and let us know what you think of Britney’s latest comeback attempt.

Sorry 50 Cent, but early numbers coming in from his albums sales show that ‘Curtis’ is falling behind Kanye West’s ‘Graduation’. The Daily Cookie hears that Kanye has sold about 437,000 records compared to 50 Cent’s 310,000. Is retirement really in the stars for this rap star? I think it’s too soon to tell, so stay tuned!

Tomorrow is a big day in hip hop music, folks. 50 Cent and Kanye West are going head-to-head with highly anticipated album releases Tuesday, Sept. 11th.

The two albums have been highly publicized by each side, heating up even further last night when 50 and Kanye came out leering at each other before presenting the Most Earth-Shattering Collaboration at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

After Kanye West got denied from MTV to open the VMAs and got shut out yet again, losing the coveted Video of the Year Award to Rihanna, he stirred up more publicity for himself by declaring that he will “never return to MTV“.

For 50, even with powerhouses like Timbaland and JT featured on his album, Curtis, he has publicly declared that if his record sales fall behind Kanye’s in its first week, that he’ll retire and will stop making solo albums.

Which album do you think will come out on top this week? Vote now on this week’s Daily Cookie poll!

I’m gonna go with Jack-not.

The show was a total mess. The main stage had no energy because all of the fans were partying in the Fantasy Suites (wish I was there!). There weren’t enough big-show performances and out of the, I dunno, three we got, Chris Brown completely rocked it out with Usher-esque moves and flair we’d expect from Justin Timberlake. Chris Brown got everyone up and out of their seats and even Diddy was pumped up. Maybe you can make his band!

The Fantasy Suites were a fun idea but I don’t think was appropriate for the VMAs. The VMAs are a big deal and fans expect big performances from them. The suite performances were good, but lackluster for the audience AND we didn’t even get to see the entire shows! We also got performances from the same artists and didn’t get to see a lot of other noteworthy musicians from the past year. Don’t get me wrong, I love Timbaland and his whole crew and could watch them all day, but what about the rest of America?

Try again next year Executive Producer, Jesse Ignjatovic; make better decisions and give us a better show!

It could quite possibly be true that everything T.I. touches lately turns into gold. I just discovered the remix version of Britney’s “Gimme More” and despite my previous post, I really think it’s going to be a hit!! Kudos to Brit for making a good career choice. Hope this version leaks soon but until then, check it out on this Britney Spears fan site.

Hey y’all! I was on my way to lunch and heard the latest Britney Spears single, “Gimme More”. I KNOW y’all know that she’s crazy and assume that her career is spiralling downward - fast. But, I’m totally rooting for her comeback because I still believe she’s got some hotness deep down there somewhere. However, after trying to force two minutes of the new up-tempo single into my ears, I’m not quite sure how I feel about it, so you be the judge. Until I figure out how to attach audio clips to my site, check out “Gimme More” on Popdirt.com.
