Britney Spears performed two surprise live shows in Las Vegas last night as part of an upcoming MTV special about her.
The singer, who releases her seventh studio album Femme Fatale on Monday, performed tracks from the LP including 'Hold it Against Me', 'Till the World Ends' and 'Big Fat Bass' at Rain Nightclub in the Palms Casino Resort.
"Looks like my little secret isnt a secret anymore. Whos coming to watch me take the stage TONIGHT at @RainLasVegas at @PalmsLasVegas? (sic)" Spears teased on Twitter prior to the show. "You're all invited. Be there or be square bitch!"
"We are extremely excited to have one of the most iconic artists of all time back at the Palms," owner George Maloof said. "Britney's performances were unbelievable and her fans will never forget this night."
Following the show, Spears said on Twitter: "OMFG it feels good to be on stage again!"
Jersey Shore star and Palms Casino Resort resident DJ Pauly D warmed the crowd up ahead of the show.
Meanwhile Jessie J has been snubbed by Britney Spears after writing a song for her new album.
The hottest property in British pop penned her own No1 smash Do It Like A Dude and has written hits for US stars Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys and Chris Brown.
Her offering for Britney's Femme Fatale did not make the cut - but Jessie insists she is not in the huff about it.
She said: "I think it's a misunderstanding. Just because I'm Jessie J, jazz hands, it doesn't mean I get pumped up to the top-three choice.
"It means that I write a song and if it doesn't go on it, it doesn't go on it. She probably had every major songwriter in the world write a song for her."
Jessie can't even offer the song to anyone else - or have a go at it herself - because it's titled Being Britney.
The British star refuses to let the snub get to her and is adamant she appreciated the opportunity - even though it didn't work out.
And she admits it's tough writing tracks strong enough for the biggest pop artists on the planet.
She also feels her own career as a singer means she does not have as much time to write as she'd like.
Jessie said: "To even have the opportunity to write a song for her is still incredible.
"As a songwriter, I'm still taking baby steps. You have to write 10 songs to get one good one and, realistically, I don't have time to write 10. It was a good song, though."
The really bad news is that now Britney has turned down the track, it's pretty much dead in the water.
Normally if one artist does not like a song, the writer simply offers it to other similar singers or record labels looking to launch new stars.
In this case, that will prove more or less impossible - unless she can find another signer called Britney.
Jessie said: "I may try to pitch it to someone else but it was actually called Being Britney.
"So it's actually hard to pitch it. It was a really cool song but it is what it is - it happens for a reason.
"For me, one thing I love about Britney Spears is she is Britney Spears - no one can come and try and steal her path, her lane and that's what I love about her.
"That's what the song is about, 'I'm the s***.'"
Hmmm... wonder if Whitney Houston fancies a shot at it?
