Light your vanilla candles and snuggle under the covers: The Britney Spears concert special drops this weekend!

Filmed at the Toronto stop of her Femme Fatale Tour, the special — which airs Saturday on Epix at 8 p.m. ET/PT — puts every fan in the front row. Look out for cameos from Nicki Minaj and Sabi, killer dancing, beautifully designed costumes, elaborate stage setups and a set list that even the biggest Britney critic couldn't help but shake their groove thing to.

In a sea of can't-miss moments, there are definitely several standouts. Lucky for you, we've rounded them up!

Britney Singing "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know"
It's rare these days to see Britney Spears show her soft side, but she takes a break from the nonstop, fist-pumping music during the spectacle that is the Femme Fatale Tour and kicks it old-school, showing us she still has the heart and soul to bust out a power ballad.

The Short Films
These glossy, dark and incredibly fashionable cinematic clips follow the Femme Fatale herself as she gets into risky situations, being pursued by dangerous men with even more dangerous intentions. Of course, Spears isn't all that innocent herself, giving the boys a run for their money in the bad department. They don't call her the Femme Fatale for nothing.

The Lap Dance
Over the course of her tour, Britney has chosen one lucky guy for a very special dance, and the lucky guy at the Toronto tour stop can watch his dance on loop forever. Brit made that gentleman, named Alex, very happy when he was picked from a sea of devotees to get a private lap dance from Britney and her sexy backup dancers during "Leather and Lace."

The special hits DVD and Blu-ray on November 21. Backstreet Boy Howie D will join Spears on the Femme Fatale Tour before it wraps up December 10 in Puerto Rico.

What tour moments are you hoping are in the special? Let us know in the comments!

Robert Plant And Alison Krauss Win Grammy Album Of The Year

Raising Sand, from Led Zeppelin vet and bluegrass superstar, wins five Grammys on Sunday night.

"I'm bewildered," Robert Plant said onstage as he accepted the Grammy Album of the Year award with Alison Krauss on Sunday night. "In the old days we would have called this selling out, but it's a good way to spend a Sunday."

He was probably one of the few who were surprised, because Raising Sand, which won five trophies at Sunday night's show, is in many ways the perfect Grammy album. It features two respected veterans, a critically lauded producer, some sandpaper-and-velvet vocals and a baker's dozen of time-tested standards.

You're probably familiar with Robert Plant from his Led Zeppelin days, and you might be aware of producer T-Bone Burnett's work on the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack (it won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2002). And if you don't know who Alison Krauss is, she possesses a haunting set of pipes and is one of the meanest fiddle players in the world. Oh, and she's won 21 Grammys, more than any other female artist and the seventh-most in history.

Really, she's the key to Sand's success, and not just because of her voice (or her fiddle playing). She and Plant first met in 2004, at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tribute to legendary bluesman Leadbelly, and the former Zeppelin man was amazed by her knowledge of American Roots music — so much so that they began kicking around the idea of recording an album together. Three years later, Sand was released.

And while Plant possesses the more famous voice, the album's finest moments radiate from Krauss. Whether she's getting bluesy on Little Milton's "Let Your Loss Be Your Lesson" or entwining with Plant's husky voice on songs like "Please Read the Letter" and Roly Salley's winsome "Killing the Blues," she more than carries her end of the bargain.

And perhaps that's also due to producer Burnett, who handpicked the 13 songs the duo cover on Sand. His arrangements are sparse — giving the two voices ample room to breathe — yet dense, warm and crackling at the same time. It's a testament to his work that he's often given just as much billing as Plant and Krauss on the project ... and it's certainly justified.

To date, Sand has sold more than 1 million copies, heaped tons of acclaim and actually earned a Grammy last year — "Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On)" took home the award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.

One expert was surprised not by the album's success, but by the fact that it's actually quite a good album.

"At first, the album seemed like a vanity project. ... Two names, clearly a one-off record, didn't have to be any good, you know?" New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica said. "Led Zeppelin fans would buy it because of Robert Plant, Alison Krauss would get a check. But it actually turned out to be a really thoughtful, really good record. So when you combine all that with the fact that the Grammys love to lionize one of their own, I could really see it taking home some awards."

'Hunger Games' Sequel Might Be Penned By 'Slumdog' Writer

Lionsgate is reportedly courting screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, who won an Oscar for 'Slumdog Millionaire.'

Ordering a script for the sequel to a film that hasn't come out yet seems to be a quickly growing trend in Hollywood. On Wednesday, we heard rumors that Warner Bros. already has a shortlist of potential writers for the "Man of Steel" sequel, and Thursday (November 17), Deadline reported that Lionsgate has already begun courting a writer for the next "Hunger Games" film, "Catching Fire."

According to the report, Lionsgate wants Simon Beaufoy, the Academy Award-winning writer behind the "Slumdog Millionaire" screenplay, to pen the next adaptation of the Suzanne Collins series. Collins and "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross contributed a lot of the writing for the first film's script, and the pair had planned to collaborate again on "Catching Fire."

But post-production on "Hunger Games," which opens in theaters on March 23, has kept Ross too busy to begin work on the next script, necessitating the hiring of a new writer. Ross is, however, expected to return as director.

Negotiations between Beaufoy and Lionsgate have not officially begun, but the studio has apparently made its intentions clear.

Lionsgate had previously announced that the three "Hunger Games" books would eventually become four separate movies. How those movies will be broken up remains to be seen. Recent film series to have done that, "Harry Potter" and "Twilight," split the final book entry into two films, but there have been no specific plans announced for "Mockingjay," the third book in this series.

In addition to "Slumdog," Beaufoy's other writing credits include another Danny Boyle-directed film, "127 Hours," and "The Full Monty."

Check out everything we've got on "The Hunger Games."
