For Britney, fragrance is the sweet smell of success. Witness the fact that she just realeased her seventh scent: Hidden Fantasy (read all about it here). The other six being, of course: Curious, Fantasy, In Control, Midnight Fantasy, Believe and Curious Heart.

Which got us to thinking: If she's done seven fragrances already, we know that she'll eventually do eight.

But what will she name it? Take our poll below or show us you've got more real scents than we do by naming one for her in the comments section.

Sticking it to the dawg in your life has never looked like so much fun.

The brand-spanking new video for Britney Spears' "Womanizer," which had its world premiere tonight on ABC's 20/20, has a little bit of everything: Cherry stems, wigs, a syncopated ass-whoopin', xeroxed buttocks and some quality naked writhing time in a sauna.

Translation: It's Britney, bitch.

So, does this feast of the flesh remind you of the Spears of old, or, better yet, does it give you hope for the Spears of the future? Do share your critiques in the comments section...

If we were that airbrushed, we wouldn't have anything to hide, either.

We can't offer you an advance whiff, but here's the ad for Hidden Fantasy, the seventh addition to the Britney Spears fragrance collection, available for your spritzing pleasure in January 2009.

And a happy new year it will be for many: Brit's first scent, Curious, made $100 million in its first five weeks on the shelves.

Hidden Fantasy—boasting the tagline "What do you have to hide?"—is being touted as a "seductive scent that is all about expressing the many mysterious sides of a woman."

Some sides being a bit more alluring than others.

Britney Spears is reminiscing about what life was like at the crossroads.

"I'm a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?" the comebacking pop star asks herself, probably rhetorically, in an upcoming MTV documentary addressing where she went wrong—and how she's getting herself back in the zone after coming thisclose to becoming a total lost cause.

Or worse, yesterday's news.

The appropriately, albeit tentatively, titled For the Record is slated to premiere Nov. 30 on MTV, two days before she turns 27 and releases her sixth studio album, Circus.

"So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there's a lot that people don't know about me that I want them to know," Spears said in a statement about the 90-minute special, which will feature the divorced mother of two answering what we'd like to believe will be tough questions about her recent past, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of her latest adventures recording, shooting her "Womanizer" video and making personal appearances.

"I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn't being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in," she added. "This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I've been through and where I'm headed."

Plea? Puh-leeze.

The attorney in Britney Spears' forever-pending driving-without-a-license case has rejected a final deal from prosecutors.

The seemingly no-brainer offer would have had Spears pay a measly $150 and spend a year on probation in exchange for copping to the misdemeanor charge and avoiding an embarrassing trial in the case.

But the "Womanizer" singer's attorney, J. Michael Flanagan, is sticking to his guns that the 26-year-old comeback queen, who long ago corrected the violation and obtained a valid California driver's license, should face nothing more than a $10 fine for her misdeed.

"We don't want a misdemeanor," he told E! News. "This should be an infraction. No probation."

That means the trial is on for Oct. 15.

It looks like Jamie Lynn Spears' oven is bun-free.

In response to a story in today's National Enquirer claiming Britney's sister is again with child, a rep for the 17-year-old confirmed to OK! magazine that "she is not pregnant."

What's more, a source who lives in Jamie Lynn's native Kentwood, La., tells E! News: "I talk to [her mom] Lynne all the time. Believe me, she would have mentioned if that little girl is expecting again. That's just a bunch of made-up crap."

Case closed. For now.

OK, lawyers. Britney Spears has to face the music, you hear?

A three-judge panel has refused to throw out a year-old misdemeanor charge against the popster for driving with an invalid license, a case that's finally scheduled to go to trial Oct. 15 after months of legal wrangling on Spears' behalf.

No explanation was given in the one-page ruling, but the decision was unanimous. A pretrial hearing is set for Wednesday.

Spears' attorney Michael Flanagan filed a 51-page motion in Los Angeles Superior Court Sept. 29 to "immediately stay all proceedings" with the hope that the appellate judges would move to dismiss the charge, which Flanagan has disputed as an example of Spears' celebrity being used against her.

And we thought we missed Britney Spears while she conducted her goodwill tour of NYC. Judging by this welcome wagon stampede, the paparazzi missed her even more.

 It costs a lot to take care of Britney Spears.

According to court documents released today, the "Gimme More" singer has been ordered to advance $200,000 to her conservatorship legal team to cover a portion of fees. L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz made the ruling during a Sept. 25 hearing. (Another hearing regarding the balance of Spears' legal tab is set for Oct. 28.)

In addition, Goetz also granted Spears’ father and coconservator Jamie the authority to sell her Beverly Hills-area home with the assistance of real estate agent Tomer Fridman of Ewing & Associates in Calabasas. According to the court terms, the purchase price must be equal to or exceed the value or property as appraised by the court. And if Fridman sells the house, his commission cannot exceed 5 percent of the selling price.

Earlier this month, the Spears home went on the market for an asking price of $7.9 million.

While Britney Spears is in New York, it appears every bite she's taken out of the Big Apple has been caught on film.

And not just by the ever-present pesky paparazzi.

Sources close to Britney confirm that the pop princess has been mic'd for her own cameras during various stops in the city (including her recent visit with a gaggle of Bronx middle school kiddies).

So what's all the footage for?

While Britney Spears tunes up for a new album and world tour, a lawyer for the reforming pop princess is telling the court she's not really up to handling a driver's license issue.

For what seems like the umpteenth time, attorney Michael Flanagan is seeking to derail a trial in the case of Spears and her MIA California driver's license.

He filed documents today in Los Angeles County Superior Court requesting a stay in the proceedings because she remains under the control of a conservatorship.

"The Probate Court has found that [Spears] lacks the capacity to retain counsel," Flanagan writes. "As a result, [Spears] is currently unable to participate meaningfully in this matter." (View the documents.)
