Britney & Frank Skinner duet?
Britney Spears will give her very first UK chat show interview late January. The pop babe, 20, is set to appear on ITV1 on comedian Frank Skinner’s show.
The show should be a lot of fun, especially after the way she performed in the US in Saturday Night Live. Frank Skinner had a number one hit in 1996 with song “Three Lions” – the England football song. So – could we see Frank and Britney doing a duet?
Be sure to watch the show to find out…..

New Alanis Morissette CD and Video’s online
Alanis Morissette’s new CD “Under Rug Swept” is available for pre-order now at her Official Online Store:
http://stores.musictoday.com/store/dept.asp?dept_id=852&band_id=374
Visitors may also stream her new video “Hands Clean” from the site.
Written and produced by Alanis in both Canada (writing and demoing) and Los Angeles (subsequent tracking, layering and mixing), these 11 songs were created with her playing both acoustic and electric guitar and keyboards and were written in a very stream-of-consciousness accelerated way…UNDER RUG SWEPT ranges from the guitar-heavy ’21 Things I Want In A Lover’ and the unapologetic expression of frustration, humanness and humor of ‘Narcissus,’ to the subtle rhythmic grooves of the self-affirming declaration ‘So Unsexy’ and ‘ou Owe Me Nothing In Return,’ to the expansive balladry of ‘Flinch’ and ‘That Particular Time,’ which strides the mysterious divide between men and women in the hope of establishing and sustaining a genuine connectedness.
