Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have gotten engaged.

Trawick, who was Britney’s manager until earlier this year, has been dating the pop star since 2009 and reportedly popped the question to Spears last night.

“This is something they’ve both wanted for a long time,” a source told US Weekly. “It’s a way to cement their family. They’re both extremely happy and can’t wait to become man and wife.”

Britney hinted at a receiving very special, very early present:

“OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo” she tweeted.

Trawick has been instrumental in helping Spears career after her very public struggles in 2007 and 2008. He has been a part of her management team since Spears’ father, Jamie Spears began making financial and career decisions for her through a legal conservatorship.

TMZ reports the couple will celebrate their engagement in Las Vegas’ Paris Hotel at the Chocolate Lounge inside the Sugar Factory with a huge group of friends. They will then move on to the Chateau Nightclub to round out their night.

Britney Spears covers Glamour UK for October but she tells the magazine, she’s looking forward to December.

The “I Wanna Go” singer will turn 30 on the 2nd of the month and said she would like to mark the occasion with a unique celebration.

“I think the older you get, the wiser you get. I can’t wait. I’m really excited and definitely gonna celebrate and do something spectacular. I’m gonna be in South America so I’ll have to do something pretty fun. A carnival of Britney?”

Spears, who launches her world tour in Russia on the 22nd of September, will hit the UK in October and has heard that Prince William was a fan and had a poster of her on his wall as a teenager.

She said that she would love it if he and his new wife, Kate Middleton, were able to make one of her shows.

“That would be amazing. That would be really crazy and cool. I think they’re a beautiful couple. Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch the [royal] wedding, but I heard it was beautiful.”

The singer will also be spending some time in London before her tour. She is shooting a video for “Criminal” in the Prince’s home city.

“So excited to stop over in the UK before I start my European tour in a few weeks,” she tweeted. “Can’t wait! I LOVE London, it’s like my second home. Decided to shoot the ‘Criminal’ video in the streets of merry old England when I get there…”

Britney Spears just cannot get away from people trying to make a buck off her.  The latest culprit is her ex-husband, Kevin Federline‘s, grandfather, Earl Story.   Seems Earl, who is retired, is feeling a little thin in the wallet.  And what do people do when they need money?  They sell their stuff on eBay, and that’s exactly what Grandpa Story decided to do.  With the help of Kevin’s aunt, author Diane Story, Earl posted a large lot of various memorabilia related to K-Fed and Brit’s life together.  Items included their wedding invitation, a hat signed to Grandpa Earl from Kevin and Britney (shown in the picture above), a photograph of Britney when she was pregnant with Sean Preston, an invitation to her baby shower, a letter from Dr. Phil McGraw asking to interview members of the Federline family after the couple split up, miscellaneous photos and other items.

Now, if you’re a Britney fan, I can see how some of this stuff would be really cool to own.  But there have also been many other points in history where they could have fetched a pretty high price.  So why sell them now?  Oh, right, Earl needs money to “help fund his retirement,” says the item description on eBay.  But keep reading, there’s more.

With the recent death of his wife Betty [Story], (Kevin’s grandmother) Earl no longer wishes to keep these items when they can be appreciated by a collector.

Which kind of makes you wonder if Earl had been hounding Betty for years, telling her how much money they could make from selling this stuff, wondering about the sentimentality of women holding onto keepsakes (a rose petal holder from a wedding?  Why?)  and Betty telling him, “Over my dead body!”  She died in April, so there you go.

Personally I think that if he really wanted the items to be “appreciated by a collector” he would have had a private dealer handle the transaction rather than taking it to eBay.  It would seem more dignified and respectful of Brit and Kevin, as well as his wife to do it that way.    Earl may choose to go that route anyway now:  he didn’t receive any bids at all on his memorabilia.    Karma certainly can be a bitch.

Britney Spears launched her Femme Fatale tour with a show in Sacramento and she’s been making her way down the coast with stops in San Jose and Los Angeles this week.   Gotta keep the buzz going to drive those ticket sales (surely the reviews of her San Jose performance aren’t going to do the trick), so why not give the fans a little tease?

Brit-Brit’s new video, “I Wanna Go,” portrays a literal assault on the paparazzi.  Britney sings atop a car and slings a wired microphone like a pair of nunchuks to blast the paparazzi surrounding her on all sides.  I’m sure she’s thought about doing that in real life a time or thirteen thousand!

Take a peek at a 30-second teaser for “I Wanna Go” after the jump!

Justin Timberlake is opening up about his famous exes Jessica Biel and Britney Spears in the latest Vanity Fair issue.

Inside the July cover, featuring Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Friends With Benefits star talks lovingly about his most recent ex-girlfriend, Jessica, and how he really values his relationship with her, to this day.

“She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life,” Timberlake said about Biel. “In my 30 years, she is the most special person, O.K.? … I don’t want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me — for instance, her.”

Timberlake seems to currently have family on his mind and says “as little as six months ago I wouldn’t have even thought about that, but now it feels like a closer planet orbiting around.”

But he’s no fool to the difficulties of marriage and staying together long term.

“I think the mistake is that people commit to who that person is right then and not the person they’re going to become. That’s the art of staying together, is changing together,” he says. “When you say it like that, it seems damn near impossible, right?”

For all his relationship wisdom now, he speaks well of Britney and while they were such a hot couple, they haven’t spoken in close to a decade.

“I wish her the best—that goes without saying. We haven’t spoken in 9 or 10 years,” Timberlake revealed. “We were two birds of the same feather—small-town kids, doing the same thing. But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn’t make any sense”

“I won’t speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person,” he says. “I just don’t think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence. We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers.”

A fabulous photo shoot and a great cover is a good sign for Britney Spears fans and the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar does not disappoint.

The Femme Fatale singer is about to embark on her world tour to support the new album and she shared with Harper’s how happy she is about the response her album is getting.

“I’ve worked so hard on this album, so it’s really refreshing,” Spears says. “I feel like I’m drinking a tall glass of homemade sweet tea on a really hot, beautiful day.”

The 29 year-old also reveals she’s got a little Bieber Fever going on.

“I think he’s adorable,” Britney remarked. “I just saw his movie, and I really didn’t realize how big he was. He’s enormous; he’s just Mr. Man.”

“A lot of the movie is really similar to what I did when I was starting out,” the singer said. “I did a promo tour for a year, going into radio stations and all that. It was so cool to see our similarities.”

Speaking of performing children, she’s warming up to the idea of her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, taking to the stage, if they really desire it.

“If they have a love and passion for the arts and that’s what they want to do, then so be it,” Spears said. “They are both little actors and so charismatic, I wouldn’t be surprised at all.”

More photos and the cover are below. (Read the article)
