    Where Will Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus Be on Saturday Night?

    Clive Davis and The Recording Academy's legendary pre-Grammy party is always packed with the biggest names in Hollywood.

    And tomorrow night will be no exception...

    The red carpet will be rolled out at the Beverly Hilton Hotel for the likes of Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston and L.A. Reid, among many others.

    And guess who's headlining this year's bash?

    Brandy and Monica!

    As you may already know they just dropped their new single, "It All Belongs to Me," their first collaboration since the 1998 hit, "The Boy Is Mine."

    "I'm scared," Brandy admitted to me yesterday about their performance. "I'm just scared of everybody in that room. I think that's why it's going to be a really cool performance because I do a little bit better when I'm afraid."

    Monica isn't as worried as much. "I don't get nervous," she said. "I thank God for that because I don't know what I would do if I did."

    Davis always delivers an eclectic roster of performers. He did reveal yesterday that there will tribute set to The Kinks led by the band's former frontman, Ray Davies, and featuring Jackson Brown, Elvis Costello and possibly Mumford & Sons.

    As for the rest of the evening, Davis tries hard to keep most of it under wraps.

    But considering who has performed in the more recent past—Matthew Morrison, Kelly Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Foo Fighters, Rod Stewart, R. Kelly, Christina Aguilera, Usher, Leona Lewis and even Ms. Houston—tomorrow's bash shouldn't disappoint.

    "What's exciting for me?" Davis said. "It's the idea of coming up with the combinations and doing the unexpected before this glittering audience."

    Will Britney Spears Be at the Grammys?

    Britney Spears may not have been nominated for any Grammys this year, but that doesn't mean she can't attend the big show.

    But will she?

    Here's what I'm told...

    As of today, Spears has no plans to be in the house when the awards are handed out on Feb. 12 at L.A.'s Staples Center.

    However, I am told that Brit may be attending Clive Davis and the Recording Academy's legendary pre-Grammy party the night before.

    While we're sure fans would love to see Spears at the Grammys, they've got Modern Family on their minds.

    A Twitter campaign using "#getbritneyonmodernfamily" took off last night after Spears tweeted that she "can't wait to see the next episode of Modern Family! Funniest show on TV."

    Spears tweeted a follower that she "would love to be" on the award-winning sitcom.

    Now we want to hear from you. Should Britney Spears go to the Grammys? Is she right for Modern Family?

    Britney Spears to regain control of finances for her wedding: report

    Britney Spears will not only be marrying fiance Jason Trawick on Valentine's Day, reports say, but also she will be getting an especially meaningful gift from father Jamie Spears -- control of her finances and business decisions.

    A source close to Spears tells the Sunday Express that Jamie Spears is looking to end his conservatorship over his daughter's affairs in time for her wedding, which reports say will be taking place on Feb. 14 on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

    "Jamie wants to go to court in early February so Britney will be a free woman in every sense when she marries," the source tells the paper.

    While Spears' rep refutes the reports on the wedding date and location, Spears' camp has not responded to claims that her conservatorship may soon end.

    Jamie was granted a court-ordered conservatorship over his daughter's life when, following her split with husband Kevin Federline, the pop star had a public meltdown that culminated in her shaving her head and attacking paparazzi photographers with an umbrella. The singer lost custody of her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, before her father swooped in to help the singer get back on track in 2008.

    According to reports, all major decisions in Spears' life must be approved by her father and brought before a judge. Over the summer, sources told Radar Online that the father-daughter pair wanted to keep the conservatorship in place. But sources say that has changed since Spears got engaged to former agent Trawick.

    "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for," Spears tweeted on Dec. 16. "Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo."

    Soon after, she posted a photo of herself wearing her engagement ring along with the words, "I can't stop looking at it!"

    In 2008, Spears praised her father in the Daily Star for his help, saying that he "saved my life."

    "My father saved my life," Spears explained. "I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him ... [He] basically gave up his job and his life to look after me at a time when I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go on living."

    Meanwhile, Federline was hospitalized earlier today in Australia, after complaining of chest pains while filming the reality TV weight loss series "Excess Baggage."

    Britney Spears Can't Stop Staring at Her Engagement Ring

    (Photo) Britney Spears is pretty enamored with her engagement ring – and she wants you to have a look at it, too.

    The pop star, 30, who got engaged to Jason Trawick in December, shows off the ring in a new photo on her site, and makes a frank admission.

    "I can't stop looking at it!!" she writes.

    Spears and Trawick, her former agent, began dating in 2009. After celebrating their engagement in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, they enjoyed the holidays in New York.

    Britney's Blast

    Britney Spears and her fiancé, Jason Trawick, have been enjoying the holidays in New York, staying at the Mondrian SoHo. On Wednesday, the newly engaged couple went to hot 14th Street restaurant The Darby with friends. Spies said they were celebrating a girlfriend’s birthday and Britney sipped on water while dining on chef Alex Guarnaschelli’s specialties. The superstar further perked up when cabaret star Lady Rizo and the Darby band serenaded her from the stage with a cover of her hit “Toxic.” A witness said, “Britney had a blast.” Later she and Trawick headed back to the hotel hand in hand.

    Britney Spears & Jason Trawick Celebrate Holidays in New York

    Britney Spears and her fiancé, Jason Trawick, are staying at the Mondrian SoHo for the week to enjoy a New York City Christmas vacation.

    Wednesday, the newly engaged couple enjoyed a night out on the town for a girlfriend's birthday at the hot restaurant, The Darby.

    Tucked into a private booth, Britney, sticking to water, enjoyed many of the West Village eatery's specialties, prepared by Chef Alex Guarnaschelli.

    Possibly to make the special guest feel at home, Lady Rizo and The Darby band serenaded her with a cover song tribute of Britney's hit song, "Toxic." After dinner, the couple headed back to their hotel hand in hand.

    Spears' engagement ring cost $92K

    Britney Spears' fiance Jason Trawick splashed out on her engagement ring - the diamond band set him back $92,000.

    The Toxic hitmaker became engaged to her agent boyfriend last week and the pair quickly shared its happy news on Twitter.com.

    Spears later flashed the lavish ring as she partied with Trawick during his 40th birthday festivities in Las Vegas over the weekend, and now it's emerged the Neil Lane band cost Trawick $92,000, according to Life & Style.

    A source tells the publication, "Jason helped design a 4-carat round-cut-diamond-and-platinum ring that has diamonds all around the band. It's gorgeous!

    "He looked for a while for the perfect ring and chose it all by himself. By now he knows what Britney likes. Jason's never been engaged before, so he's really, really excited. He's thrilled that Britney will be his wife. They're both happy. They've come a long way."

    Spears' ex blasts engagement

    Britney Spears' ex-husband Jason Alexander is concerned about the pop star's plans to marry Jason Trawick because he's convinced their relationship is "fake".

    The Toxic hitmaker wed childhood pal Alexander on a whim in Las Vegas back in 2004, but the couple had its marriage annulled less than three days later.

    Spears' former agent Trawick proposed to the singer last week - but Alexander fears his one-time love is making another mistake.

    He tells UsMagazine.com, "It's sort of sad... I know everyone wants me to be happy about this, but I am not. I think it's fake and I think people are afraid to say it... If you look at all the pictures between them there is no connection. They look like they are going through the motions."

    But not all of the pop star's exes feel the same way - Kevin Federline, the father of Spears' sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, recently insisted he was "really happy" for his former wife.

    Spears and Federline divorced in 2007.

    Will Britney Spears' Third Marriage Be Her Best Yet?! Source: "You Can't Even Compare the Chances!"

    Cue the rice throwing and champagne bottles popping, because Britney Spears is engaged again!

    And, for the record, we could not be happier that the pop star landed a ring on her finger courtesy of now-fiancé Jason Trawick. And while people may be phoning their bookies ready to place bets on how long Brit-Brit's marriage will last this time, we're hearing the third time really may be the charm:

    "You can't even compare the chances for this marriage to her others," a source thisclose to Camp Spears promises us.

    And that's not all our spy had to gush about the gal…

    "Britney is in such a better place than she was before," we're told. "Her outlook between then and now is night and day. So she's better off right there."

    This makes us so happy. Go Brit!

    After all the tabloid trouble she's had in the past (not to mention little luck on the love front with her two ex-hubbies), we're glad to hear that things are looking up for Ms. Spears. We knew she had it in her to sort everything out professionally and personally.

    Trust us, the latter was the harder of the two for the femme fatale.

    So how did Jason help turn things around?

    "As to Jason? Britney's actually gotten closer to her father the past couple of years," our source fills us in on the family Spears. "And I think that says a lot on how well it's going to last. She's cool with men. I think less so women."

    Well, that's a bummer, but let's stick to the happy stuff for now. We'll say it again: Congrats, Brit! Can't wait to see what wedding gown you don for what's sure to be your most fab walk down the aisle yet!

    Federline 'happy' for Britney

    Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has congratulated his former wife on her engagement and given his blessing as she makes plans to wed Jason Trawick.

    The singer's agent-turned-boyfriend proposed last week and Spears confirmed the happy news in a post on her Twitter.com page, calling Trawick her "new fiance".

    Federline, who fathered two sons with the star before their divorce in 2007, has now sent his best wishes to the happy couple.

    He tells Australia's TV Week magazine, "I'm really happy for her - I think he's a great guy."

    The former dancer, who is currently appearing in Australian weight-loss TV show Excess Baggage, adds, "She's happy; she's doing really well. I want to say she's in a good place.

    "I haven't spoken to her much since I've been over here (in Australia), both of us have been busy with her being on tour, but I do know from talking to the kids and talking to the kids' teachers that they're doing really good. It's a good step in the right direction. I'm totally happy for her."

    Britney and her fiancé's big double celebration

    Pop star Britney Spears and fiancé Jason Trawick celebrated their engagement in Las Vegas Friday night with a blow-out 40th birthday bash for Trawick at Chateau Nightclub & Garden. The happy couple stayed at the club until 3 a.m. Saturday morning before been whisked outside by a fleet of more than 20 security guards. Onlookers tell Page Six, “Britney left the club for 30 minutes before deciding to come back and party until 4:30 in the morning.” Spears and Trawick then headed to Sugar Factory American Brassiere where they ate pancakes and sundaes until 6 in the morning. A spy tells Page Six, “Britney couldn’t take the smile off her face and was taking camera phone pictures of her ring.”

    Britney Spears's 'Princess' Engagement Ring: All the Details!

    (Photo 1, Photo 2) Britney Spears may be a pop-star diva to the rest of the world, but to beau Jason Trawick, “she’s his everyday princess,” says celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who designed Spears’s dazzling engagement ring to befit Trawick’s vision of the singer’s down-home regality. “Jason is a romantic and when I asked him to tell me about Britney and what the ring would represent to them so I could find inspiration, his response was always the same — she is his princess!”

    With that theme in mind, Lane tells PEOPLE he designed from scratch a tiara-motif sparkler with a round, perfect white diamond in a handmade platinum setting that “looks like a mini crown,” the celebrated jeweler says. He also added 90 small round diamonds around the eternity band. “Jason didn’t want an over-the-top ring with a giant stone,” he adds.

    Over the last month, Lane and Trawick clocked phone and email minutes as they collaborated while Trawick was traveling with Spears on her global tour. “Texts came from all over the world, from Abu Dhabi, Mexico and I don’t know where else!” says Lane.

    But when Trawick stopped into Lane’s Los Angeles store to pick up the ring — less than one week before the proposal! — they both knew the hard work and scheming had paid off. “Oh my god, he loved it,” Lane shares, adding that he could tell Trawick had pre-proposal jitters. “The guy was so excited and nervous. At the end of the day, even with all the fame, he’s still a normal guy who was about to propose to the woman he loves.”

    That said, Lane believes this couple is in it for the long haul. “He’s deeply in love with her. Britney is his princess and he is her knight in shining armor,” he says. “Jason’s protective of her. He adores her. Every good fairytale needs a princess, and now Britney has a ring fit for a princess!”

    Britney Spears Celebrates Engagement, Shows Off Ring in Las Vegas

    (Photo) Britney Spears had a pretty sweet celebration Friday night to celebrate her engagement to fiancé Jason Trawick.

    After arriving in Las Vegas, the couple headed to Planet Hollywood where they checked into their 3,100-square-foot suite designed by former Top Design host Jonathon Adler. Dubbed a "mega suite," the two-bedroom domicile overlooks the Paris Hotel's Eiffel Tower and the famed Bellagio fountains. Not to mention, features a stunning red Murano glass chandelier in the entry way as well as a full dining room, living room and jacuzzi tub.

    Spears, donning a short, nude Herve Leger dress, stepped out a few hours later and revealed her highly-anticipated Neil Lane sparkler during a congratulatory welcome on the hotel's mezzanine. Planet Hollywood Chairman Robert Earl presented Trawick with an oversized birthday cake in a quick ceremony.

    "She wanted it to be quick because her kids where upstairs and she wanted to put them to bed," a source told PEOPLE.

    Following the celebration, the duo stopped in at Sugar Factory's Chocolate Lounge where they shared a turkey burger and a club sandwich in a room closed off to the public to give the couple privacy. A line of waiters where later seen bringing a tray of cupcakes and a large sundae of ice cream covered in sprinkles.

    And what better place to end the night than Paris's Chateau Nightclub. Surrounded by friends, Spears, 30, and Trawick, 40, hung out in their own private VIP table overlooking the club's dance floor.

    "Britney seemed happy, holding Jason's hand," an onlooker said. They retreated to a private area after 1 a.m., but Spears was "dancing up a storm" until nearly 4.

    Fun was definitely had, as her Facebook page reflected a new note early Saturday: "Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life. Such an amazing time with my new fiancé and our closest friends and family."

    Britney Spears Makes It Official - on Facebook

    (Photo) Is any relationship truly official until it shows up on Facebook?

    One day after Jason Trawick popped the question in L.A., Britney Spears shared the news on her Facebook page.

    Previously "in a relationship," Spears, 30, changed her status to "engaged."

    "Yes, I can confirm it's true," Spears's rep Jeff Raymond tells PEOPLE.

    The pop star previously Tweeted her excitement about getting engaged to her boyfriend of two years (who proposed with a Neil Lane sparkler).

    "OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I've been waiting for," Spears wrote Friday morning. "Can't wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo."

    We can't wait to see it!

    Britney Spears and Fiancé Jason Trawick: Anatomy of a Romance

    With the exciting news that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick are planning on tying the knot, we figured this is probably as good a time as any to look back on the couple's courtship leading up to the big engagement.

    Of course, this won't be Brit's first time walking down the aisle...

    As any fan knows, she was married, albeit briefly, to childhood pal Jason Allen Alexander back in 2004 before getting the union annulled.

    Later that same year, she exchanged vows with backup dancer Kevin Federline, with whom she had two adorable sons, before they called it quits in 2006.

    But enough dwelling on the past. We've got a romance to celebrate here, people!

    May 2010: Britney publicly confirms she's dating Jason, her former agent, by having him escort her to the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards.

    August 2010: Aloha! Britney and Jason enjoy a little R&R while vacationing in Hawaii.

    Dec. 2, 2010: Britney celebrates her 29th birthday with Jason during a romantic getaway in Mexico.

    April 2, 2011: Britney and Jason spend the weekend in Las Vegas. Along for the trip? The pop star's sons Sean and Jayden.

    April. 25, 2011: Britney is spotted wearing a shiny bauble on her ring finger, fueling speculation that she and Jason are planning to get hitched. "It's not an engagement ring, not a story," her rep tells E! News.

    Sept. 12, 2011: Jason is seen perusing rings at jeweler-to-the-stars Pascal Mouawad's showroom in Los Angeles. However, "Jason was there to discuss other matters with Pascal, but nothing relating to him personally," Britney's publicist tells E! News.

    November 2011: Oops! Britney makes a small slip-up on a U.K. radio show, calling Jason her husband.

    Dec. 15, 2011: Britney's rep insists that talk of her shooting down Jason's proposal is "entirely not true."

    Dec. 16, 2011: E! News confirms that Britney and Jason are engaged just hours after the bride-to-be tweeted out this little hint: "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." A source close to the singer, however, insists that the wedding "is not happening anytime soon."

    How Does Britney Spears Get Married Under a Conservatorship?

    Is Jamie Spears ready to give his little girl away again? It's hard to say.

    Because Britney Spears has been in a conservatorship since her almost career-ending meltdown in 2008, Jason Trawick is legally bound to ask her father—who holds the keys to the castle—for permission to marry Britney, family law expert Lisa Helfend Meyer tells E! News.

    And what if Jamie says (or said) no? Does Trawick whisk Britney away on the back of his motorcycle, like in the "Criminal" video?

    "If he doesn't consent, then her marriage would not be legal," Meyer said. "It's very restrictive. It's not like you are marrying an adult."

    Biologically, of course, Britney's a 30-year-old adult. But Jamie is the one who makes financial, medical and career decisions on her behalf. She has even been excused from giving depositions in various legal matters over the years because the judge overseeing her case has agreed with Britney's conservators (Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet) that she's not competent to testify.

    But she's been competent to make millions on tour...right?

    Seemingly so. Spears has been free to petition to get her affairs back under her control for years now, Meyer said, adding that it's anyone's guess as to why the pop star has left things the way they are.

    And now, presuming Jamie has agreed, she's getting married!

    But so long as Britney's conservatorship remains, if there's a prenuptial agreement, Trawick will be entering into it with Jamie, Meyer says. And Britney could very well need her father's permission to rent a venue, purchase a wedding dress, pick out flowers, etc.—especially considering all of those things are likely to cost a pretty penny.

    Jamie would also have to cosign the purchase agreement if Britney buys (or helps buy) a new house, Meyer adds.

    And say, unfortunately, that Britney and Trawick get divorced—if she's still under the conservatorship, Jamie will have to sign off on any financial settlement they arrive at.

    A conservators' hearing is scheduled for Jan. 19, but at this point, only an allowance of fees and a motion to seal court records are on the agenda.

    Britney Spears + Engagement + Vegas = Another Quickie Wedding in the Works?

    Britney Spears is no stranger to surprise nuptials.

    So when sources confirmed to E! News that the newly engaged pop star and her hubby-to-be Jason Trawick are set to celebrate their happy news with a party in Las Vegas tonight, suspicions were naturally raised—could they possibly be bypassing a very long engagement and simply getting the deed done during their weekend in Sin City?

    After all, it wouldn't be the first time for Britney. So, will wedding bells be ringing sooner than anyone thinks?

    Nope! Spears has clearly learned from her impulsive past, and a source close to Spears tells E! News that a Britney-Jason wedding "is not happening anytime soon."

    The source added that Britney is in no rush to walk down the aisle—not to mention, it might take a little more time to sort out the legal complications inherent in the 30-year-old still remaining under conservatorship. However, that little detail has been described as "an issue" rather than any serious impediment or threat to their marriage.

    Way to turn things around, Britney. Congrats!

    Get the Details on Britney Spears' Engagement Ring!

    First comes love, then comes bling, then comes marriage.

    Here's what we know about Britney Spears' bauble, as bequeathed to the newly engaged pop star by fiancé Jason Trawick (and speaking of rings, that certainly has a nice one to it)…

    E! News has confirmed that celeb favorite and jewelry designer extraordinaire Neil Lane designed Britney's engagement ring.

    According to Lane's rep, Trawick personally worked with the designer to craft the diamond-bearing band into Spears' "dream ring."

    Aww! This one is definitely a keeper!

    Though a photo of the ring has yet to surface, a source confirms to E! News that the diamond is round, comes in around four carats, and features micro pave diamonds around the band.

    "It's classic, simple and beautiful," they said.

    While there's no word yet on the ring's value (though "high" is probably a safe bet), for comparison, Britney's engagement ring from her marriage to hubby No. 2 Kevin Federline was 5.5 carats, designed by jeweler Cynthia Wolff and estimated at roughly $40,000.

    Meanwhile, Spears is in good company with her Neil Lane band, as plenty of other stars have or are still donning the jeweler's engagement wares, among them Zooey Deschanel, Emily Blunt, Kristen Bell, Portia de Rossi, Jennifer Hudson, Milla Jovovich, Jenna Dewan, Nicole Richie, Kate Beckinsale, Ashlee Simpson, Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Simpson.

    Britney Spears -- I'm ENGAGED ... maybe

    Jason Trawick may have jumped the engagement gun ... 'cause Britney Spears just posted a message hinting that he ALREADY popped the question ... and she said yes!

    Britney just went to her Facebook page and wrote, "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."

    TMZ broke the story ... Trawick had planned to ask for Britney's hand in marriage during their trip to Vegas ... and the smart money was that it was all SUPPOSED to go down tonight. Seems he just couldn't wait!

    Sources close to the couple tell us ... Jason organized a MASSIVE celebratory dinner tonight at the Chocolate Lounge at the Sugar Factory in the Paris Hotel ... because Brit Brit LOVES chocolate.

    We're told there will be a chocolate fondue and all the men will get chocolate truffle cigars.

    After dinner ... the gang is set to go to Chateau nightclub and party the night away.

    We're told everyone involved in the fiesta has received specific marching orders -- anything Britney wants, Britney gets.

    Britney Spears -- She's Getting Engaged Tonight to Jason Trawick!

    Britney Spears is getting engaged to boyfriend Jason Trawick, TMZ has learned.

    Multiple sources who are definitely in the know say Jason plans to pop the question tonight ... in Las Vegas.

    We're told Britney knows they're getting engaged, so it's not going to be a big surprise.

    Sources say Britney's conservators have given their stamp of approval. The matter will go before the judge in the conservatorship case but it's virtually certain Brit will get the judge's sign off.

    And we're told ... Jason did it the old fashioned way ... by asking Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, for permission to marry his daughter.

    And they're also doing it the new-fashioned way ... we've learned there WILL be a prenup.

    Spears to take time off in 2012

    Pop star Britney Spears is set to take an extended break in the New Year, according to her record label boss.

    Joe Riccitelli, the executive vice president of promotion for RCA Records, has confirmed Spears will relax and enjoy time out of the spotlight in 2012 after wrapping her mammoth 79-date Femme Fatale Tour earlier this month.

    But Riccitelli insists there will be plenty of new material from Spears' chart contemporaries.

    He tells U.S. radio station Hot 99.5, "She's going to take a little time off. (But) we're working on a Christina Aguilera release for later on this year, we're working on a new Usher project for later on this year, Pink is about to go back in the studio. We're excited about that."

    Britney Spears' San Fernando Valley Winter Wonderland

    (Photo) Back home from her whirlwind world tour, Britney Spears has decked the halls of her brand new L.A. mansion with boughs of holly ... and tons and tons of colorful Christmas lights.

    The 30-year-old singer has spared no expense to get into the festive light-everything holiday spirit -- casting a bright glow across her stuffy ultra-exclusive San Fernando Valley neighborhood.

    All Brit Brit really wants for Christmas is ... a huge electric bill. Clark Griswold would be proud.

    Fa la la la la la la la laaaa.

    Did Britney Spears Really Turn Down Her Boyfriend's Marriage Proposal?!

    Britney Spears has had multiple opportunities to deny that she's engaged, be it after she was spotted wearing a diamond ring or because it may have just been time for another engagement rumor!

    But we've all been under the assumption that she and longtime boyfriend Jason Trawick just aren't ready to go there yet. Who knew that her former agent may have already popped the question—and Spears' answer was no?!

    Well, that's what some reports are saying.

    But the real deal, according to Spears' rep, is that news of her shooting down Trawick's proposal is "entirely not true."

    In Touch Weekly had reported that Trawick got down on one knee and offered up a massive engagement ring and everything, and that Spears panicked and backed away.

    That exact story hasn't made the "BS Alert" section of Spears' website yet, but it will look right at home along with another magazine article titled, "Pressured to Wed Against Her Will."

    Meanwhile, whatever's going on behind closed doors doesn't seem to be taking too much of a toll on the couple.

    Spears tweeted yesterday, "Poor Jason he has less than 5 hours left to be in his 30s. I have a big surprise for him tomorrow. Xxoo." And today, she posted a photo along with this: "Hbday Jason! He looked so cool in the ["Criminal"] video, that I had to get him a new motorcycle...Check out this new Confederate Bike I got him!"

    Britney Spears Lawsuit -- It Costs $300k Per Year to Keep Her Ass Safe

    It costs $303,900 to provide Britney Spears with a full-time 365-day security detail ... this according to her former protectors who claim the pop star's people screwed them out of half-a-year's pay.

    The people who run Britney's estate are being sued by Advanced Security Concepts Corporation -- claiming Team Spears never paid them more than $140k in fees ... after they kicked the bodyguard company to the curb back in 2010.

    ASCC claims Team Spears has been unfairly holding a grudge against it ever since one of their former bodyguards, Fernando Flores, filed a lawsuit against Britney last year ... accusing her of multiple instances of genital-exposing sexual harassment. Britney has denied the allegations.

    But in the lawsuit, ASCC claims Team Spears demanded the company cover Britney's legal expenses in the case -- even though they weren't obligated to put up the cash.

    ASCC claims Britney's people not only fired them after the stand-off -- but they refused to fork over a check for $141,625.00 ... the remainder of a 1-year contract which Brit's camp had previously agreed to pay out whether or not they actually used the security service.

    We reached out to Brit's camp for comment -- so far, no response.

    Aniston tops hottest woman poll

    Jennifer Aniston has been voted the hottest woman of all time in a new men's survey.

    Editors at MensHealth.com polled members of the general public to determine the most desirable female - dead or alive - and the former Friends star has topped the list.

    One Million Years B.C. beauty Raquel Welch was named second best, while blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe landed at three. Pop stars Madonna and Britney Spears round out the top five.

    But Aniston insists she doesn't deserve the title and has instead offered up her own preferred picks.

    She says, "It's a tie between (actress/model) Brigitte Bardot and (feminism activist) Gloria Steinem. But if I had to choose one, I'd say Gloria because, well, she's the full package. That's sexy."

    Also making the cut were Angelina Jolie (10), Scarlett Johansson (12), Megan Fox (13), Colombian singer Shakira (18), supermodel Heidi Klum (20), Salma Hayek (22), Cameron Diaz (24) and Victoria's Secret beauty Gisele Bundchen (25).
