BRITNEY SIGNS WITH ARDEN Britney has signed a deal with Elizabeth Arden to develop Spears-branded fragrance, color cosmetics and skin care.
Statement Regarding Britney Spears Video: “Everytime” Early treatments for Britney Spears' "Everytime" video were unfortunately released to the media. Britney Spears was uncomfortable with these treatments due to the potential for a fictional accidental occurrence to be misinterpreted as a suicide. Accordingly, Ms. Spears revised the treatment to ensure the video for "Everytime" will not have a Scene in it that could in any way be perceived as a reference to a suicide. She does not endorse this as a solution to any individual and fully recognizes that people who go to this length need assistance and advice and should contact their local suicide prevention organization.

| BIO OF THE WEEK |
Jessica Simpson
Dance-pop singer Jessica Simpson was born and raised in Dallas, TX, beginning her performing career as a member of her church choir; at 12, she also auditioned unsuccessfully for The Mickey Mouse Club. While attending church camp the following summer, Simpson was discovered by the head of a tiny CCM label, spending the next three years recording her debut album; the label folded before the record could be released, however, although a small pressing was eventually funded by her grandmother. The teen nevertheless became a hit on the Christian Youth Conference circuit, also sharing bills with Kirk Franklin, God's Property, and Ce Ce Winans; seeking to expand her popularity in the secular market, Simpson signed to Sony, touring in support of boy-band sensations 98° prior to releasing her 1999 major label debut Sweet Kisses, which launched the smash "I Wanna Love You Forever." A second studio effort, Irresistible, appeared in spring 2001. Despite the MTV coverage of the album's title track, Simpson's sophomore effort didn't fare as well as her first album. The following year, Simpson married her longtime boyfriend, 98° crooner Nick Lachey. She also went on to appear in several episodes of That 70s Show, but it took Simpson until summer 2003 to become a bona fide celebrity. She and Lachey's MTV-produced reality show, Newlyweds, captured countless moments of the couple's first year of marriage. Simpson's third album, the much more mature In This Skin appeared in July. First single "Sweetest Sin" was a moderate chart hit, but thanks to the success of Newlyweds, Simpson's teetering career got a second chance. Other marketing opportunities surfaced for the bubbly and ditzy Simpson, for she had become America's sweetheart. In This Skin's second single "With You" was a favorite among the MTV crowd and by spring 2004, In This Skin was rereleased. It included reworked versions of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" and Robbie Williams' "Angels" as well as additional footage from the first season of Newlyweds. March 17, 2004 - Jessica Simpson will perform "Take My Breath Away" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The show airs at 11:35pm ET on NBC. Please check your local listings.
