Americans have a long tradition of running south of the border when things get sticky in the States. But on her trip to Mexico last week, BRITNEY SPEARS--who has of late suffered a tabloid-fodder breakup with 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake, and disappointing (though still pretty huge) album sales--could not leave trouble behind. She had barely left her plane when she was videotaped flipping the bird at paparazzi whom she felt were hounding her the way photographers chased Princess Diana. The real blow came at an outdoor show in Mexico City: in the middle of her fifth...
...leaps," he told the news agency DPA. "We will deal less and shape more." That could mean some selloffs, possibly of the underperforming U.S. media properties. One deal Thielen will have to come to grips with is the purchase of Zomba, the record company of Britney Spears and 'n sync. In a deal made before Middelhoff's time, Bertelsmann agreed to buy outstanding shares in the company for almost $3 billion.

They're two years older, and the realism of singers singing their own songs has a lot of appeal. They haven't heard that music sung by their peers before...
...part of the appeal of the Authentics is that they write their own songs, will they be able to score hits as big as the anthems of Britney, 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, whose killer hooks were penned by studio wizards like the Swede Max Martin? So far, the labels have taken the middle path between ordering the artists to submit to the will of a 50-year-old songwriting coach and locking them up to write melodies in solitary confinement. "I sit down with a guitar player usually, and I come up with melody and lyrics," explains Lavigne...
