1. Britney Spears says her next album will be her "most personal album ever"

It's tough to imagine how Britney Spears could ever top the raw lyrical intensity of hits like "Baby One More Time" and "I'm a Slave 4 U" — but the pop star recently took to Twitter to announce that her upcoming eighth studio album will be her "most personal album ever," which is probably why she decided to debut the first single in the new Smurfs movie. While it's not clear exactly what Spears means by "most personal," it's probably safe to assume that she's not referring to how much of the album will be auto-tuned. [Ace Showbiz]
