Britney's sons having a new mom

I swear to jeebus, there has got to be something spiritual about Britney Spears' hair. Think about it, any time there is a derivation from what has been chiseled into the pop commandments -- blond! blond! blond! -- something goes wrong.

First, there is this photo from over the weekend of a newly brunette Britney that looks like it could have been snapped seconds before she was strapped to the gurney in 2008. From the frap to the dye to the thrusting tongue; all are so iconically crazy Britney that I'm beginning to shake in my Uggs.

But unlike those adventures in crazytown, Britney hasn't lost her mind -- or her boys. They're simply on vacay with poppa Kevin Federline. However, they're not alone and this is where things get a bit dodgy!

AEG Live refuses Spears gig verification

AEG Live Middle East managing director Thomas Ovesen has denied reports that the promoter has secured pop megastar Britney Spears for a Dubai performance later this year.

In a bid to quash widespread rumours and refute the claims of some of the UAE’s major newspapers, Ovesen commented that such an event was “unlikely” to happen in the city, or anywhere in the Middle East.

“The logistical issues of bringing such a huge act to the Middle East would be extremely difficult to resolve,” he said in an exclusive interview with DPME.com.

“Even if we did manage to bring Britney Spears to the region, the ridiculous ticket taxation laws in Dubai would put the emirate at the back of the queue.

“Then, there are also the challenges of routing and finding an appropriate venue. There are very few venues in this region that could cope with such a large production.”
