It would seem unlikely for Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, The Pussycat Dolls and the LA Lakers to all be going down for the same crime, but believe it or not, all four are involved in a lawsuit with an electronics company that says they had their design ripped off by the artists and team.

Large Audience Display System has filed suit against these parties for using screens too similar to the ones they have patented in their shows and at their games. Britney just used hers on the Circus tour, but Justin has been using the ripped off design since FutureSex/LoveShow days.

While the suit may seem petty, the company that originated the design is screwed if major artists and venues keep using knock-offs of their design without receiving any credit. If using these fake designs continues to be a trend, the company will lose all their hard work and flounder.

Let’s hope that this just goes away and a settlement is quickly made. I really don’t want to be writing posts about Britney testifying in court over a projection screen. That might just push me over the edge.

First of all, I’ve scrounged up a bunch of pics of Brit strolling around Australia with no bra on.  As always, you’re welcome.  If there was ever a question as to the importance of proper support, let these pictures be your forewarning.

Enough of that; here’s why I’m moving to Australia:  the Minister for Fair Trade of New South Wales wants to create some sort of disclaimer that informs patrons paying up to $1,300 a ticket to see Britney in concert that she’ll be, um, lip-synching.  You just know that B is all excited — “I’m gettin’ my own law y’all!”

“It is Britney’s ‘prerogative’ to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front,” Judge said in a statement released by the government.

One idea is to require disclaimers on promotional materials and tickets indicating that portions of a show will be pre-recorded.

It’s no secret that many artists, including Spears, lip-sync at times during their elaborate stage shows. And this Australian initiative may not have much effect on interest in Spears tickets, given that many of the shows Down Under are already sold out.

“Personally I would rather see a live set from a local artist,” Judge said, “but I am sure Britney’s fans will be treated to a spectacular show.”

I’m a huge fan of Brit’s music and I’ll always be her cheerleader.  I think she’s made amazing strides to get her life back on track and once she starts wearing an underwire, I’ll be even more impressed with her accomplishments.  Putting that aside, she’s a singer.  I wouldn’t pay a thousand dollars for any concert ticket, but I wouldn’t pay twenty dollars for mime.

Now that we can watch Britney Spears’ entire video instead of viewing it three seconds at a time, I’ve got something to say about the most ridiculous lyric ever:  “Livin’ in sin is the new thing.”  Oh, Brit — you are so young.

Anyway, here’s Brit’s video for her newest single, “3.”

Tomorrow is the official release date for Britney Spears’ new song, “3.”  However, if you follow Brit on Twitter, you’ve been treated to still shots of the video all day yesterday — when she Tweeted to her fans not to be “stressed” waiting for her new video.  Like, really?  Stressed? — and today.  Now she’s releasing three-second (Get it?  Three?) teasers of the video.

As of publish time, she has only released one video clip.  Think Brit in lace leggings, dancing.  Three glorious seconds of recycled material.  You’d have to be a seriously die-hard fan *cough*Beet*cough to stalk B’s Twitter all day in anticipation of the next “clip” being posted.

Britney Spears has been dating her agent Jason Trawick for some time now and the two may be getting even more serious if Britney’s mom has anything to do with it. A friend of the family spoke to Us Weekly and said that not only is Lynne Spears behind the relationship, but she thinks the two should get hitched. “Lynne said, ‘He’s the kind of man you would dream of your daughter marrying. The kids love him, and he’s stable,’” the source told the magazine.

While an agent certainly is a step up from Britney’s last hubby, Kevin Federline, and it would definitely be wise for the pop star to keep her agent’s share of her earnings (10%!) in the family, one has to wonder if Britney is ready to take the leap again. She’s just landed on her feet after one of the craziest downward spirals we’ve ever seen play out in the press. However, those who know the couple say that he was one of the only people that stood by her throughout her crazy times. “Most everyone else abandoned her, but Jason refused to be completely cut out of Britney’s life. He’s very protective of her.” Yeah, or protective of her money. Who knows?

American Idol winner Kris Allen performed at Seton High School in Ohio to recognize their accomplishment of raising $5,000 for breast cancer research.  He did an unplugged, acoustical version of Britney’s “Baby One More Time”.  Here’s the question:  Who did it better?

Can’t be stopped! Won’t be stopped! Britney Spears is running the show like the multi-orgasmic chick at the threesome. Which is totally what this single is about. Well, at least, it’s definitely about a threesome. The multi-orgasmic part might just be me projecting.

Brit-Brit’s latest single, “3,” hit the #1 spot on the Billboard charts in its debut week. It’s the first #1 Billboard debut since Taylor Hicks’ 2006 hit “Do I Make You Proud” and the first non-”American Idol” song to enter the chart at #1 in almost 11 years. That is some seriously impressive shit. I mean, YOU SAW WHAT IT DID FOR TAYLOR HICKS.

The track hails from Britney’s upcoming The Singles Collection, due out November 10. And I love this song. I love it like I love being the only chick at the threesome. Multi-orgasmic or not.
