It's Britney's New Video, Y'all!

Whether she's gone back to rehab (her 3rd stint, for those of you who are counting), or fighting a court order for the custody of her sons, or trying to avoid jail time in an alleged hit and run, Britney Spears' new album "Blackout" is ready to hit the stores, led by the first single "Gimme More".

By now, most of you have seen or heard about her lazy lip-sync performance of the song at an award show in Vegas a few weeks back. It was an embarrassing, half-assed effort (by her standards) but she did make a video for the song, and it's already available for sale on iTunes. You can catch a preview of it here, or watch the full thing, while it's still available online.

How long ago was this video shot? These screen shots shows a much slimmer Britney doing her thing with a pole. What happened between the filming of this video and her lacklustre Vegas turn?




And will the video, which I think is super lame, help fight the chorus of "She's over" or just add fuel to the fire? Will there be enough of a curiosity factor that will allow her to make that (however tentative) comeback that I'm sure her record label is sooooo praying for?

Next!
