The lead video in support of her critically acclaimed ‘BlackOut’ album, Britney Spears‘ ‘Gimme More’ video remains one of her most controversial to date.

Coming under fire for its provocative nature and soon followed by the infamous ‘train crash’ performance at the MTV Music Video Awards 2007, it still remains the poster child for all that is right (or wrong) with the starlet.

Now, four years after its debut, an alternative version of the video has surfaced.

For more than 10 years Britney Spears has reigned as one of Pop’s most formidable forces.

However, after a much publicized breakdown, tragic performances, and barely-there interviews, debate intensifies as to whether the Pop starlet is really ‘with it’ anymore.

Her brand and ever-growing hit catalogue may be strong as ever, yet doubt remains surrounding whether or not she can hold a candle to the competition in the current musical climate.

Despite becoming Pop’s recurring punchline, Britney Spears continues along the hype that is her latter-day career, yesterday shooting the video for her new single ‘I Wanna Go’.

Shot in Los Angeles yesterday, the clip is the third visual offering from the performer’s ‘Femme Fatale’ LP. Hollywood Life were on set of the shoot and shared the following:

The video, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, will feature hardly any choreography, “It’s very personality and action driven,” our source said. Rather than play up the sexuality of the song, the piece will showcase Britney’s sense of humor in a playful way. According to our source, “It’s not really indicative of the song at all.”

No word on whether Britney’s stunt double could make the shoot.

For some, it was the ‘singing’ or lack of it that stood out as the most notable part of the Rihanna and Britney Spears’Billboard Music Award performance.

In perhaps the worst kept secret in recent memory, newly released shots have confirmed that Britney Spears will be taking to the stage tonight at the Billboard Music Awards 2011.

The studio singer is set to open the show with a trainwreck showing of ‘S&M’ with Rihanna (I see Billboard trying to get the ‘LOL’s’ in earlier). She’ll later return for a performance of sorts with Nicki Minaj.

Keep it locked on That Grape Juice for all of your Billboard Music Award 2011 news!

Somewhere in the darkest depth of Pop culture, Milli Vanilli are gagging in disgust. For if reports are to believed, a new vocally deficient duo may be after their spot. For, Rihanna and Britney Spears are apparently to perform together on tomorrow night’s Billboard Awards.
