Britney Spears
The
Guardian praised the album's melodies and her effort, giving it
4 out of 5 stars and writing, "Unlike previous Britney albums,
In the Zone has no filler and no shoddy cover versions, just 57
varieties of blue-chip hit-factory pop. There is southern
hip-hop, deep house, Neptunes-style R&B, the ubiquitous Diwali
beat and, most importantly, oodles of Madonna." The album
spawned the international number one and U.S. top ten hit single
"Toxic", winning Spears her first ever Grammy in the category of
Best Dance Recording. "The Onyx Hotel Tour" began in March 2004
to promote the album. The tour's choreography generated much
controversy and heavy criticisms, with the presence of young
children amongst the audience.
Celebrity Big
Brother
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 was the fifth series of the United
Kingdom reality television series Celebrity Big Brother, a spin-off
of Big Brother. The series was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK
(also on S4C in Wales), and involved a number of celebrities
referred to as 'housemates', who live in the Big Brother House
with no contact with the outside world. In recent series, the
show's producers have offered celebrities money to appear on
Celebrity Big Brother.
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 started on 3 January 2007, and ran
for 26 days. The launch show peaked at 8.2 million viewers,
making it the second most-watched launch in Big Brother history.
It was the first Celebrity Big Brother series to be shown in the
16:9 widescreen format and the final Celebrity series to be held
in the Elstree compound with the regular series later in the
year being the final one overall.
