Britney Spears: Home, Sweet Home!

Finally back home to get some much-deserved rest, Britney Spears touched down at LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday afternoon (December 11).

Clad in an all-white ensemble, the "Hold It Against Me" singer was accompanied by boyfriend Jason Trawick and her two sons, Sean and Jayden, after a long flight from Puerto Rico.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Spears is fresh off of closing out her 79 concert Femme Fatale world tour - with the final show taking place in San Juan.

After the gig's end, Britney thanked all those who bought tickets and helped make the lengthy string of performances happen.

She kicked off her gratitude-filled tweets by saying, "That's a wrap! The Femme Fatale tour is officially over :( Gotta give some end of tour shout outs?"

"To all my dancers - u all are basically family. Thx so much for an unforgettable year!," Britney gushed, adding, "To every single INCREDIBLE person on my crew - none of this would of been possible without you. I'm gonna miss u!"

To close out her appreciative tweets, Spears thanked all those who came out to her many shows, writing, "And last but DEFINITELY not least - to all of the amazing fans who I saw on this journey around the world. <3 u all."

tbt Concert Picks: Trampled By Turtles, The Antlers, Vanaprasta...

We don?t know about anyone else, but we can?t feel our toes. Our fingertips, either. Ears and noses aren?t far behind; in short, it is cooo-oooold. Winter technically isn?t for another two weeks, but seriously ? ouch. Scarves and thick socks haven?t yet done the trick, so we?re moving on to the next best thing ? going to a show. From standing-room-only bodies to rhythms inciting movement, it?s the next best option at keeping warm and showing love for more-than-interesting talent. Win-win, no? Check out our picks below.

  • Trampled By Turtles | Friday, December 9 | 8:00 pm | $18 | Troubadour, Los Angeles, CA ? Map | Bluegrass and elements of modern rock make up the foundation on which the Duluth, Minnesota-based band?s work flows. Known for their high-energy compositions, the contrast of more subtle approaches works just as well in their favor. Case in point, ?Where is My Mind? (whose video was released earlier this month0 is one of many tracks that manages to transport the listener somewhere other than a cubicle, and not necessarily the sporadically-lit corners of a dance club. It?s a nice place to be, wherever it is. With William Elliot Whitmore ? Buy Tickets
  • Adam Ezra Group | Friday, December 9  | 10:30 pm | 21+ | $10 | Mercury Lounge, New York, NY - Map | It?s rare that we come across songwriting that is at one both introspective and personal for both performer and audience. That would be the case for Boston-based roots rock band, the Adam Ezra Group. Their knack is telling a story/evoking an emotion without telling the whole story ? a talent that goes beyond working a great sound. This show marks the release of their latest album, Ragtop Angel. With The Mommyheads - Buy Tickets
  • The Antlers | Saturday, December 10 | 7:00 pm | 18+ | $25.50 | Webster Hall, New York, NY ? Map | The Antlers are good. Ordinarily we?d say that?s all you need to know, but we?ll elaborate just this once. The Brooklyn-based indie rock band?s strength is in the anatomy of a song, and we?re not really talking the 2+2 formula of the three-minute pop song. There?s enough ambiance, rock, edge, and flavor within each song that involvement becomes necessary, and desired. Very nice, we?ve got to say. Their most recent album ? aside the free release of Together towards the end of November was released this past May under the name Burst Apart. With Suuns - for more information, call (212) 353-1600.
  • The Van Buren Boys | Saturday, December 10 | 11:30 pm | 21+ | $5 | Ultra Lounge, Chicago, IL ? Map | Fusing fifties and sixties rock with punk is something you don?t come across every day, but kinda like peanut butter and banana sandwiches, it works. The trick is adding a more than copious dash of that makes it distinguishable from what anyone else has tried, which is what the Chicago-based band does, and more. After hitting their show (or before; you?re preference), make sure to check out their latest album, Up All Night,which you can find here. With The Brothers Gross, Black Actress ? Buy Tickets
  • Vanaprasta | Sunday, December 11 | 6:30 pm | All Ages | Free tickets at the door | The Satellite, Los Angeles, CA ? Map | Still our favorite for? well, for going on a good long while, it?s about time we point out that there?s something to be said for consistency when it comes to a band that knows what works for their audience. The Silverlake, Calif.-based [still unsigned!] band is ever-efficiently-working their take on layered rock ? their latest album, Healthy Geometry, having been released this past November. With Rocco Deluca, The Imaginary Bear and the Puppet Show, Nicole Simone (and much more) ? for more information, click here or call (323) 661-4380.

Those are our picks and we?re sticking to ?em. Who?s on your To See List this weekend?

Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj And Ke$ha 'Till The World Ends' Remix Leaks

Britney Spears isn't the only pop titan dancing until the world ends: Nicki Minaj and Ke$ha have joined forces to add a new spin on an all-female remix of Femme Fatale's second single, "Till the World Ends."

The reworked dance anthem, which leaked online Friday (April 22), appears to have surfaced earlier than expected as noted by a series of countdowns on all three of the stars' websites.

Mixing the dance tune's original sonic swirls with heavier bass, Britney tourmate Minaj starts off the remix by throwing down an aggressive verse, in which she calls out a female hater: "A-A-A-A-A-AYE!/ Chimpanzees is hatin', but I take it all in stride/ Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side/ Told you they'd revive your career, but somebody lied/ I ain't talkin' poultry when I say this chicken's fried."

After Minaj spits a few introductory bars, Spears delivers the song's first verse before an introduction for the all-star trio. "It's Britney, bitch. I'm Nicki Minaj and that's Ke$ha!" the Young Money MC proclaims.

Ke$ha, who originally wrote the track for the pop princess, takes part in singing the club-ready track's chorus. Spears soon takes back control of the song as Ke$ha shadows the singer's lines toward the end of the second verse and bridge. Unlike the original version, the "Till the World Ends" remix also features a stuttering dubstep dance break.

News of a star-studded collaboration was hinted earlier this week when producer Dr. Luke tweeted, "@NICKIMINAJ killed it tonight!!!! thanks!!!"

Lamar Odom Likely Traded to Dallas Mavericks


Khloe & Lamar Take Dallas?

While it has not yet been finalized, multiple sources are reporting that Khloe Kardashian's husband, Lamar Odom, has been traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks.

Near Khlomar Kiss

How is Khloe taking the news that she and her man will soon be moving out of the L.A. spotlight?

"'For I know the plans I have for u,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper u and not to harm u, plans to give u hope and a future.' Jeremiah," she Tweeted yesterday, not remotely overreacting to the news and adding:

"I am sure I will love it but I am a tad thrown off. I know for a fact blessings are everywhere!!! Everything happens for a reason. God is great."

It's true. And that reason is for the Lakers to create salary cap room in order to make a run at the Magic's Dwight Howard.

Audrina Patridge, Ke$ha, Adam Lambert Share Prom Memories

'Me and my gay best friend just danced until 8 a.m.,' Ke$ha tells MTV News.

It's prom season, and that means high schoolers across this great land will be renting tuxes, buying fancy dresses and negotiating the details of their curfews with parents. So, before you take your pictures and get in your limos, we asked some Hollywood A-listers to recall their fondest prom memories.

"I had a great prom," Ne-Yo told MTV News. "I didn't get to go with who I wanted to go with. I got my second choice, but my second choice turned out to be the one I was supposed to be there with, so it turned out good."

Ke$ha, never one to say no to a party, had the best night of all her friends. "I went to prom with my gay best friend, and let me tell you, I had way more fun than anybody else at a prom with their boyfriends," she recalled. "Everybody else was, like, crying and drama and breaking up, and me and my gay best friend just danced until 8 a.m."

"Hellcats" star Aly Michalka doesn't have a favorite prom memory — because she never went to prom. "I was homeschooled, so I don't even think we had a fake prom," she lamented. "Like, maybe we had a home-school prom and I wasn't invited?"

While everything always seems to be in peril on "The Vampire Diaries," star Nina Dobrev had a less tumultuous night: "Having everyone get together and such a final celebration [is what I remember]."

Romeo went big for his prom. "My senior prom, I remember I pulled up in my red Ferrari. I was feeling like James Bond," he said. "And it was one of the best nights of my life."

"My favorite prom memory was probably going shopping for a dress, and our boyfriends at the time dressed up as 'Dumb & Dumber,' " Audrina Patridge laughed. "And so we were like, 'We can't dress up dorky ... we have to look good.' "

Roots drummer ?uestlove made a big decision on the night of his prom: "June 2, 1989, was my very last haircut; prom haircut, totally butchered my hair. He butchered my hair, and I vowed never again to ever get in a barber chair, so I grew that Afro on my prom night."

Adam Lambert said his prom date was a 10, so he definitely had a fun night. "I had a great prom. I had an awesome time," he said. "I went with one of my best friends in high school. Her name was Lauren, and she was really hot. She wore a really hot red dress, so I felt like I had arm candy."
