Criss Angel

Looks like I’m not the only person who thinks Criss Angel is a poser. Rumor has it that Britney Spears and her buds think that the Mindfreak’s celeb clinging ways getting old.

From Page Six:

“He doesn’t even really talk to her when they go out. This weekend at [club] LAX, they weren’t seated at the same table, but when the paparazzi were around he jumped in all the pictures. . . . The paparazzi all have his number.” Meanwhile, some of the stories leaked to the tabloids about how Angel was orchestrating a big VMA number for Spears using mirrors are false. “She is just doing a straight-up performance of her new single, ‘Gimme More.’”

Yeah, yeah, Mindfreak is annoying, but what’s with Britney not doing anything cool at the VMA’s? Seriously, she’s just going to gyrate and lip synch? Lame. She banged the freak and didn’t even get a single vanishing trick out of it…what a rip-off.

So Britney Spears is working the party scene again. The pop tart was spotted at the opening of LAX nightclub in Las Vegas. And as you can see from the pics, Brit was going for the classy and elegant look.

From MSNBC:

She strode down the red carpet as her single “Gimme More” blared from inside the nightclub. While she didn’t stop for any interviews, she certainly gave photographers and cameramen all they could handle as she paused and smiled for pictures before disappearing into the club.

Spears then made her way to the VIP area where she reportedly hung out with illusionist Criss Angel, who has been frequently seen with Spears over the past few weeks.

Why is she still hanging with Mindreak boy? That guy is so skank. There’s just something icky about the way he’s suddenly so popular with single celebs. He must have some pretty amazing bedroom tricks. I don’t even want to imagine what he pulls his rabbit out of.

So Britney Spears will definitely be opening the MTV VMA show. Of course “definitely” in Brit-language really means she’ll be there if she feels like, can get herself dressed in something without grease stains and can drive herself to the theatre without going over a cliff…or getting distacted by the fluffy clouds that look like cute bunnies.

Anyway, here’s the scoop on Brit’s rumored Mindfreak assisted performance.

From The New York Daily News:

“Gimme More (Chocodiles)” has emerged onto radio and details are being revealed as to what’s going to happen during her MTV performance on Sept. 9. She’s teamed with that greasy magician and it’s going to be some mirror mess.
Angel will guide Spears in and out of a series of mirrors, making it seem as though she vanishes and then reappears several times, a source told the Daily News yesterday.

Other dancers in the complicated number are being called upon to harness up for simulated flight, the source said.

Hey, I’m all for Britney vanishing…do we really need the reappearing part of the trick?

Well, if rumors are to be believed (and of course they are!), Britney Spears is indeed planning a major comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Mindfreak magician dude Criss Angel reportedly helped design the number and Brit wants to shock us all.

From Us Magazine:

“She’s planning it to be a big comeback performance,” says a Spears insider, who adds that the goal is to make it “shocking.” One early idea that was canned? Performing “My Prerogative” amid a medley of hits, as images of exes Justin Timberlake, 26, and Kevin Federline, 29, and other gossip fodder flashed on a screen behind her. As for a report that she’d do a duet with Timberlake? “Totally, patently false,” says a Timberlake source.

You know, I have to say that after the head shaving, car bashing, public nudity and the general insanity that follows her the level to which Britney will have to sink to be “shocking” is a truly frightening concept. Throw the Mindgeek guy into the mix and the potential for total chaos goes through the roof.

I hope MTV has a few extra censors, a rescue squad, a hostage negotiation team and a few tranquilizer darts in reserve…just in case.

So Britney Spears and Mindfreak dude Criss Angel were once again spotted heading into a hotel during the wee hours of the morning. This time the W Hotel in Westwood. And the idea of the two of them still makes me a little queasy.

But the celeb clinging Criss is denying that he and Brit are hooking up. According to him, the suspicious hotel sightings are all business. Mr. Mindfreak says he helping Brit with her not-so-secret upcoming VMA performance.

From TMZ:

“We were talking about how she wants to do something more with the [awards] show, and about me helping out and hoping to work with her on doing something to make her MTV appearance more innovative,” he insists.

Here’s an innovative idea for Britney, try not sucking. What are the magic words for that?
