Peep this newly released promotional shot of Britney Spears for her forthcoming ‘Femme Fatale’ LP. Clearly, someone got carried with that Photoshop brush – the pic doesn’t look a thing like her. Rather, a randomer in a bag wig.

On a more positive note, Spears’ promotional push for ‘Fatale’s release next week is actually beginning to bulk up (gasp). For, the seemingly promo-shy singer has added Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel to her list of performance spots – which, until now – only included a mini-concert on Good Morning America.

All, of course, are set to be pre-recorded before airing. It’s the Spears way…

With the the industry abuzz about LA Reid‘s status with Universal Music, yet another spanner has been thrown into the works – courtesy of the New York Daily News.

The publication reports today that a key point has been omitted from the ‘has he/ hasn’t he been sacked’ debate; the fact  that the Island Def Jam head has been in negotiations for a position on the judging panel of the X Factor US.

Why is this a problem for his role at Universal, you may ask?

As earlier reported, diva Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith’s Steve Tyler were announced as two-thirds of the all-new American Idol judging panel. Peep pics of Lopez and Tyler (along with original judge Randy Jackson) at the show’s press conference today below…

Randomness: The judging panel isn’t the only major change in this the show’s tenth season. Now featured as an in-house mentor will be Interscope head Jimmy Iovine. What does this mean, you may ask? Gone, according to reports, are the weekly themes. Instead individual acts will be honed to be great in the genre of music which suits them as an artist. What’s more, Interscope in-house producers  such as Timbaland and Polow Da Don (as well as other label figures) will be working with the contestants each week to ‘up their everything’ (posture, vocals, artistic growth etc). The heavy involvement of Interscope (a subsidary of Universal Music) comes on the heels of the label replacing long-time Idol collaborators Sony Music as the winners’ label.

Sounds like Idol may actually be worth the watch this go round.
