Britney Spears went to check out an apartment in Westwood yesterday, BlackBerry [1] and LV [2] in hand. As we eagerly anticipate her VMA show opener [3] this Sunday, Russell Brand gives us a few hints as to what we can expect. He told Seacrest [4] she's working "in a professional capacity," won't be "doing a bizarre haircut on herself," and joked he's going to try to pinch Britney in revenge for their hilarious promos [5]. Lynne Spears is also dishing on Britney — although to sell books [6] rather than get laughs revealing intimate details of Brit's childhood and teen years [7] including when she lost her virginity and started experimenting with drugs. Hopefully the upcoming VMAs [8] will keep Britney happily distracted considering her family is once again stirring up drama.
