We are just one week away from the Vegas debut of pop mannequin Britney Spears.

As such, the buzz around E!’s accompanying documentary, ‘I Am Britney Jean’, has been building in anticipation for the residency’s December 27th kick off. As previously reported, the tell-all special, set to air December 22, will see Brit behind the scenes preparing for her Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino gig via footage of the ‘Sometimes’ singer finishing up her ill-fated ‘Britney Jean’ album, shooting music videos, hitting the dance studio, and being a mom.

As fans know, Target may have been a huge celebrator of pop superstar Beyonce‘s ‘4’ album, but it’s self titled follow-up cannot boast the same.  In a well-publicized decision, the huge retailer opted against carrying the singer’s 5th album citing unfair ‘preferential treatment’ to Itunes (which exclusively carried the digital version of the album upon its December 13th surprised release).

Lifted from Michelle’s mixtape ‘A Rebellious Christmas’, the song is available on iTunes now as part of the 5 song set, which also includes one other original song and 3 covers of holiday favorites like “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

Set for release on December 26th, the clip’s teaser has already generated 225,979 ‘Likes’ since its unveiling an hour ago, and – if it goes to fare just as well as ‘Wrecking Ball‘- may prove troublesome for Beyonce’s budding smash ‘Drunk In Love.‘

Still find yourself sleeping on Leona Lewis’ top-selling holiday themed album ‘Christmas With Love’?  Well, you will probably change your mind after watching the diva’s stirring rendition of the tune ‘One More Sleep’ on tonight’s suspenseful ‘X Factor’ season finale.
