Britney is back bitch! Although I had assumed she retired from music or something since her residency in Vegas, it seems that the pop princess still has some hits to churn with new track Pretty Girls.
The song features Iggy Azalea forming the perfect female pop duo but not the best Britney song (from an old fan). The video, however, is really fun and cute and truly is the best I have seen Brit in about ten years. Her choreographer is almost on par, her body looks banging and she seemed to really be having fun.

Biggest Power Couples in Music (Part 1)
The musical power couples of past and present...
5. Kelis and Nas
4. Rihanna and Chris Brown
Dated For: Hard to say. We know they officially got together in 2008 and have spent the past six years in an on/off relationship
3. J.Lo and Puff Daddy
It worked because: she was the Latina R'n'B princess who made some noughties classics with the help of super-producer Puff Daddy (his name at the time). They were both, and still are, cool, talented and super rich so even though they may seem like an odd pairing at first, most grew to understand and love it.
2. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake
Dated For: Almost three years (1999 - 2002)
1. Beyonce and Jay-Z
Dated For: Two years before marrying in 2005 for four years (2002 - 2009)
It worked because: they are both musical geniuses with a lot to say and they are so successful they only use a first name
Highlight: The birth of their son, Knight
Lowlight: The fact that their son was born after Kelis had filed for divorce
Current Status: Not great is an understatement. They had a very ugly and very public divorce battle and it seems the pair are still bitter over it
Dated For: Hard to say. We know they officially got together in 2008 and have spent the past six years in an on/off relationship
It worked because: Young, attractive, talented, super famous, even more rich and did I mention they're really attractive - picture the children. This is a perfect representation of young love and just how captivating yet destructive it can be.
Highlight: All of the great music they have made together Cake, Umbrella Remix, Nobody's Business
Lowlight: Obviously, the night that Chris beat Riri and ended his good boy image and their seemingly innocent and perfect relationship.
Current Status: Who really knows. They seem to have finally ended all communication and their on/off relationship but, with them, it's never really over.
Dated For: 2 years (1999-2001)
It worked because: she was the Latina R'n'B princess who made some noughties classics with the help of super-producer Puff Daddy (his name at the time). They were both, and still are, cool, talented and super rich so even though they may seem like an odd pairing at first, most grew to understand and love it.
Highlight: This was when Jennifer and Puff were both at their musical best which is what happens when two superstars support each other.
Lowlight: When Puff got in trouble with the law over a club shooting. In fact, this whole drama could be to blame for the split of J.Lo and Puff.
Current Status: Seemingly, on good terms and maybe even friends but there is definitely no relationship on the cards now that Puff is in a long-term one with stunning singer, Cassie.
Dated For: Almost three years (1999 - 2002)
It worked because: they were perfect for each other. Both Southern teenagers who grew up together on Disney and established massive international pop careers as singers. It was a real fairytale musical pairing and Britney has never looked happier than on JT's arm.
Highlight: Too many. I mean, who can forget their matching all denim look at the 2001 American Music Awards
Lowlight: Their break-up. It was filled with rumours of cheating and ended with the bittersweet song Cry Me A River
Current Status: Like most ex's after years apart, they haven't spoken in a very long time but there is no bitterness or hard feelings. So we can still dream that maybe one day...
Dated For: It seems the relationship began around late 2002 and they married in 2008 (2002 - present)
It works because: they are Beyonce and Jay-Z, the queen and king of their field, so it only makes sense. They are not only a music power couple, but a business and entertainment power couple who have a firm hold on the throne
Highlight: Crazy in Love, their current On The Run tour or the birth of their baby girl Blue Ivy in 2012
Lowlight: The recent rumours of cheating and divorce
Current Status: They seem more than blissful and I am happy to believe that until I see any strong evidence otherwise

You Better Work Bitch !
Britney has released the new video for her single Work and I'm glad to say that it's a lot better than any of her last few videos. Her banging body is back and she looks confident and sexy which is something we haven't seen in a good few years.
It's a shame that the song itself falls flat, in my opinion, there's no substance to it - it sounds like every other dance track you would here in a club except less exciting.
There is still a long way to go until Britney is back to her Slave 4 U days but it's nice to see that she is making swift improvements to get there.

The VMA's through the years
The MTV Video Music Awards are now in their 29th year having held the first ceremony in 1984 where Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper were among the big winners of the night.
The VMA's have since become one of the biggest award nights in music due to the jaw-dropping performances, outrageous outfits and controversial moments which make the show hugely entertaining and attract all the big names in the industry.
This year there are performances from Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Drake and, in a special one off reunion, N'Sync and I am sure there will be many other surprises along the way. But I thought it would only be appropriate that before the big ceremony tonight in Brooklyn, I should run through the eight most scandalous and talked about moments of the VMA's ...
2003
Not only was this the most talked about moment of the 2003 VMA's but it may well be the biggest moment of any award show. VMA veteran, Madonna, and young starlets, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, opened the show with a performance of, Like A Virgin, reminiscent of the performance Madonna gave back at the first ever VMA's.
The scandal came when Madonna kissed both Britney and Christina (as well as the cut away to Justin Timberlake's reaction) mid performance.
Any Beyonce performance is always hugely entertaining with great vocals, perfect choreography and stunning outifts but at the 2011 VMA's Queen Bey gave one of the most important performances of her life because at the end of it she unveiled her pregnant stomach.
The fact that no one expected this AT ALL meant that it was a massive surprise to the whole audience and the media; furthermore, the reaction from Jay Z and Kanye make this VMA moment one of my personal favourites.
2009The fact that no one expected this AT ALL meant that it was a massive surprise to the whole audience and the media; furthermore, the reaction from Jay Z and Kanye make this VMA moment one of my personal favourites.
A moment that haunts Kanye West even until this day. In 2009 he decided, after a little too much to drink according to Amber Rose, to jump on stage in the middle of Taylor Swifts acceptance speech for Best Female Video and interrupt her to proclaim that the award should have gone to Beyonce.
Although I am sure many people agreed with him, it wasn't the right time or place to make such a bold statement and it caused so much controversy that Beyonce had to later apologise on his behalf.

2001
Britney turns up a lot in this run through as she is, and always will be, a Video Music Award icon for her scandalous performances over the last 14 years. Of all her performances, everyone can remember the sultry rendition of Slave 4 U which included a snake being seductively manoeuvred around the stage.
This was definitely the peak of Britney's career and it's unfortunate that we will probably never get to see her like this again - toned body, amazing choreography and entertaining for all the right reasons.

1984
Madonna was the first musician to ever grace the MTV Video Music Award's back in 1984 and she lived up to her title as a musical legend by rolling around the stage dressed as a slutty bride and singing 'like a virgin, touched for the very first time...'
The audience are so shocked - in the 80's this would have been seen as hugely controversial - that the applause at the end of the performance is very lacklustre but watching it back now, you can definitely understand why Madonna is the Queen of Pop and how she paved the way for so many female artists.
2009
2009 makes its second appearance but this time for a wonderful performance given by Janet Jackson as she pays tribute to her brother, the late and the great Michael Jackson.
The dancers do a terrific job as does Janet and although it would have been great to see some other artists grace the stage - maybe Beyonce, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake - it's a truly beautiful moment and the perfect way to remember the King of Pop.
1998
Mariah and Whitney are two of the biggest divas and biggest voices in music and with such huge status comes a lot of rumours. One of which was that these two women hated each other. So they decided to use the worldwide platform of the VMA stage to show the world and the media that they were, somewhat, friends by poking fun at the alleged feud as they presented an award together.
2007
Although one of the most talked about moments in VMA history, it was also one of the lowest in Britney's career. What was hailed as her big comeback performance became a media joke as she wobbled around the stage looking uncomfortable and, quite frankly, as though she would rather be anywhere else.
In comparison to her performance just six years, Britney fell flat and her big moment to show the world she was back on top, was a massive let down.
