It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from Pop starlet Jordin Sparks. Indeed, after the tanking of her ‘Battlefield’ LP (despite the title track’s success on the Single charts), there had talk of the American Idol alum potentially being dropped from her label.

However, it appears the 21 year old’s career has been handed another lifeline. Cue ‘I Am Woman’. A snippet of the cut, said to be a front runner for Sparks’ new single, has hit the net.

Oops she faked it again! Yesterday the web was set ablaze by allegations that Britney Spears’ used a stunt-double to handle all of the somewhat difficult choreography in her ‘Till The World Ends’ video.

Now, despite claims by her camp to the contrary, video evidence has surfaced to prove that Spears, who is known for lip-syncing almost all of her shows, did in fact use a substitute.

See the footage of the stunt-double below:

Once again, Pop star Britney Spears has found herself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. For, following the mass critique levelled against her incessant lip-syncing and lazy routines, Spears has supposedly been “caught out” using a stunt-double in the video for her latest single ‘Till The World Ends’.

According to the purveyors of the image above, the 29 year old enlisted Tiana Brown (who danced with Spears on her ‘Circus’ tour) to perform the more taxing choreography in the Ray Kay directed clip.

Predictably, Spears’ team vehemently deny the claims.

Oh Britney.

If only for her sake, this needs to be proven untrue. For, if a stunt-double was truly used for that wickety-wack choreo, then it may very well be a wrap for Ms. Spears. I mean, if she’s struggling to do a basic 8-count, what really is the point? The music isn’t saying a whole lot either. Sigh.

In all fairness, it’s as clear as Rihanna‘s lack of talent that Spears’ melt-down has had a profound effect on her abilities. Stunt-double or otherwise, one look in her oft-vacant eyes re-affirms that. Still, as I’m sure her team drum into her, there’s money to be made – and making it, she and her team, are. By hook or by crook.
