- News of a killer Britney Spears single (that is thankfully not this number) is making the rounds. The track is called “Gimme More,” and is produced by Nate “Danjahandz” Hills (of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake fame). Sources tell EW “Gimme More” is an uptempo dance single that will introduce a “whole new sound” for Spears. However the pop star will be making her comeback without former manager Larry Rudolph, who split from Spears in April and is currently hiding to avoid being subpoenaed in her custody battle with ex Kevin Federline. Rudolph released a statement yesterday stating his “loyalty will always stay strong with Britney” but until he is found he is “trying to avoid being brought into this mess” and wishes Spears the best.
- The soundtrack for upcoming Joy Division biopic, Control, has been revealed. In addition to the previously announced re-release of “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and the Killers‘ rendition of “Shadowplay,” the disc includes songs by the Velvet Underground and David Bowie.

- More property that once belonged to boy-band mogul Lou Pearlman is being auctioned off nearly three months after a slew of personal items were sold to the highest bidders.

All money is going towards paying back the thousand or so investors who lost money when Pearlman disappeared in January.
