Earlier today, the 26-year-old pop princess talked about winning three Moonmen at MTV’s Video Music Awards, including video of the year for “Piece of Me”.

Ali Lohan is Mostly Ghostly
Ali Lohan, the 14-year-old sister of big sister Lindsay, stars in the new kids’ horror film Mostly Ghostly.
Here’s a synopsis of the direct-to-DVD movie, which is out in stores tomorrow (September 30): Max (Sterling Beaumon) is hardly a typical 11-year-old: he loves magic, detests sports, and can’t seem to say a single word to his crush, Traci (Ali Lohan), the most popular girl in school. But when he’s the only one who can see the ghosts haunting his house, two young spirits make him the deal of a lifetime: he’ll help them solve the mystery of their parents’ disappearance and battle a wicked ghoul, if they’ll help him go from being invisible to the most talked-about kid at school! Featuring an all-star cast including Madison Pettis (The Game Plan), Luke Benward (How to Eat Fried Worms), Noah Cyrus (Hannah Montana) and Sterling Beaumon (Four Christmases), it’s one spooky mishap after another in this haunted adventure!
Check out the exclusive DVD artwork below!

Britney Spears Talks Z100
Britney Spears made a surprise visit at radio station Z100 in New York City on Monday afternoon. She talked exclusively with DJ JJ about her new album, Circus, how she is definitely going to tour next year and how happy she is to be back in the Big Apple.
Talk about [your new single] “Womanizer”. It’s a really cool song. I like the fact that it’s so empowering for girls because it’s basically saying, ya know, we know what you’re up to. It’s about guys cheating on other girls and stuff like that. And it’s kinda like a girl anthem, so that’s why I like it.
I gotta ask about the T word here. Are we gonna see a tour anytime soon? We’re dying for a tour. Oh, definitely next year. Definitely.
Anything else you want to say to New York City that we don’t all ready know? I miss it here so much! I love it so much! It makes me it’s kinda like bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years. And when I come here, it’s like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still. But I love it. It’s the energy. It’s crazy.

Here’s another tip from the 36-year-old burlesque beauty on how to look good in underwear: “Rainbow Bright: Don’t be afraid of color. I think a flash of bright silk under everyday clothes looks fabulous. If you need a neutral option for light-colored clothes, try shell pink or icy blue instead of the usual white or ivory. And you can never go wrong with black lace - it’s something every woman should have in her drawer.”

Happy Birthday, Dita Von Teese!
Dita Von Teese, who turned 36 yesterday, shops around Paris, France with a female friend on Saturday.
The burlesque queen launched her new WonderBra line last week. Here are some tips she gave to Telegraph readers on how to look good in underwear:
“Turn the Lights Down Low” — The real secret to looking great in lingerie? Good lighting. I’m not in bad shape, but it’s still the most important thing. Lighting is one of the most carefully calculated parts of any burlesque show, and after 15 years of performing I know what looks good and what doesn’t. Soft pink light is far and away the most flattering. Overhead light can be harsh and unflattering, so opt for mid-level instead. Or just turn them down - I have dimmer switches in every room of my home!
