Need more Britney Spears amped-up club tracks in your life? Well, the Femme Fatale singer has your back. Britney tweeted her plan to release a remix album next month.
B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2 will drop on October 11, and the singer had this to say about the release: "Exciting news people ... new remix album is coming out on 10/11! Pumped for you to hear these tracks - I love them."
The album will feature reworked versions of 10 of her songs, both from Femme Fatale and her previous work. The songs are: "Gimme More" (Kaskade Club Mix), "Piece of Me" (Tiësto Club Mix), "Radar" (Tonal Club Remix), "Womanizer" (Benny Benassi Extended), "Circus" (Linus Loves Remix), "If U Seek Amy" (U-Tern Remix), "3" (Manhattan Clique Club Remix), "Till the World Ends" (Alex Suarez Club Remix), "I Wanna Go" (Gareth Emery Remix) and "Criminal" (Varsity Team Remix).
Spears dropped the first part of the B in the Mix series back in November 2005. On that record, folks like Justice, Bill Hamel, Junkie XL and Jason Nevins, to name a few, put their spin on major releases and under-the-radar tracks including "Me Against the Music," "Touch of My Hand," "And Then We Kiss" and "Early Mornin'."
The news comes as Britney preps the release of her next single, the Femme Fatale slow jam "Criminal," which made the track listing for B in the Mix: The Remixes Vol. 2. Spears also recently tweeted that she's shooting the video for "Criminal" in England.

Shakira is officially part of President Obama's Administration. The White House announced Oct. 4 that the President will appoint the Colombian superstar to his Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
“I am grateful that these impressive individuals have chosen to dedicate their talents to serving the American people at this important time for our country," Obama said of Shakira and three other selectees. "I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead."
The 34-year-old Grammy winner, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, is no stranger to activism. In 1995, she started the charitable organization Pies Descalzos (Barefoot Foundation) -- named after one of her earliest hit singles -- to help fund schools in her native Colombia, as well as Haiti and South Africa.
Shakira is also a founding member of Latin America in Solidarity Action and became a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund in 2003.
"This is a tremendous honor for me. I am humbled that my philanthropic experience could be helpful or that my voice can be used to amplify the message and work of the President and this Commission," she told The Huffington Post. "Latino youth are the fastest-growing group in America, yet more Latino children are living in poverty -- 6.1 million in 2010 -- than children of any other racial or ethnic group. As I have seen in my own Foundation work, the only road out of poverty is education."

Holiday collabo is called 'Falalalala,' group reveals to MTV News.
By Jocelyn Vena
After a photo surfaced online of Justin Bieber and Boyz II Men singer Shawn Stockman in the studio together, Beliebers were pretty excited about the Christmas track they were putting together. Bieber had his musical heroes in mind when he heard the song — called "Falalalala," the group revealed to MTV News — for his upcoming holiday album.
"He thought we'd be perfect for it," Stockman said. "And we went in and locked in."
When the Boyz stopped by to talk about their October album Twenty, Wanya Morris recalled meeting the teen star for the first time way back before they all worked together.
"We met him in the hotel, at the Le Montrose, in L.A. and the dude, he had a cast on at the time," Morris remembered. "And he stepped up and said, 'Oh my God! Boyz II Men, you're my favorite group!' And we're like, 'Oh, OK,' and at the time, we didn't know who he was. He was a new dude, and the next thing you know, he's huge. And I'm like, 'That's the same guy!' "
Bieber was a fan of Boyz II Men from when he was a kid, but there was one track that wasn't allowed in the Bieber household.
"He told us his mom didn't want him to sing 'I'll Make Love to You,' so he'd sneak and go sing it somewhere," Morris said. "It's also good to know we've influenced such a good artist. It's something that makes us feel we've accomplished [something and] we're doing our job, [that] a guy so young and so into his craft [is] influenced by three guys from Philadelphia that love to sing."

Three of Dr. Conrad Murray's former girlfriends take the stand Tuesday.

Prosecutors in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, called one of the cardiologist's girlfriends to the stand Tuesday (October 4) in an attempt to nail down what Murray was doing as his famous client was dying of cardiac arrest.
Houston, Texas, steakhouse waitress Sade Anding told the jury that six minutes into a phone call with Murray on June 25, 2009, Murray suddenly disappeared as she was telling him about her day. "I realized he was no longer on the phone," she said of the call that took place less than a half-hour before Murray placed a frantic call to Jackson's assistant asking for help. At one point, she described hearing coughing, mumbling and other voices on Murray's end, as if his phone was in his pocket. The call was one of a half-dozen that phone records show Murray made during a crucial time when prosecutors say he should have been monitoring Jackson's vital signs closely.
Other testimony on Tuesday:
» Another woman, Michelle Bella, said she got a text message from Murray that morning, and an employee of the doctor said she exchanged eight minutes' worth of calls with him during the final hours of Jackson's life.
» Murray's current girlfriend and the mother of one of his seven children, Nicole Alvarez, 29, at first denied knowing that the doctor was pulling down $150,000 a month for treating Jackson. She said she met Jackson in 2008 and that she spent time with the pop star and Murray several more times after their son was born in 2009. Alvarez also testified that by June 2009, Murray was leaving their apartment at 9 p.m. almost every night and returning in the morning and that she signed for packages in April, May and June of 2009 but didn't know they contained the powerful anesthetic propofol. She told prosecutors that she planned to travel with Murray to England for Jackson's planned string of 50 This Is It shows.
» Alvarez said she spoke to Murray as the doctor rode in the ambulance to the hospital with Jackson's body, one of four calls the two exchanged on the afternoon of the singer's death.
» ABC News reported that none of the propofol bottles recovered from Jackson's room had the pop star's fingerprints on them, a detail that may deal a blow to the emerging defense theory that Jackson dosed himself with the surgical anesthetic while Murray was out of the room and caused his own death
» Pharmacist Tim Lopez told prosecutors he sent Murray 225 vials of propofol in total, as well as 20 vials of lorazepam and 60 of midazolam in April 2009, with some sent to a Santa Monica address that was likely the apartment the doctor shared with Alvarez.
Murray has pleaded not guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter. He faces four years in prison and the loss of his medical license.

If you thought tensions were already high between The Situation and Snooki on Jersey Shore ... you were correct. But at the same time, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Tonight, the expletives - and bottles - start flying.
In this sneak peek from Thursday's all-new episode, a full-on brawl erupts and puts Mike at risk of injury. As if Ronnie/the wall didn't bang him up enough already:
What set off the kooka-flashing Poughkeepskie Princess this time?
Let's just say when the pot-stirring Sitch tricks the gang into thinking he called Snooki's boyfriend to tell him Snook's been cheating with Mike, it didn't go over well.
"F--k you!" Snooki screams, hurling a wine bottle at Sitch, then chasing him down and throwing any object within her ineffectual reach in his direction, yelling:
"What's your problem?! I don't f--king like you! I f--king hate you!"
Does the fact that he was kidding make it better or worse? We'll see.
THG POLL: Jersey Shore is ...
