Britney Spears Breaks Out a Bikini to Read David Letterman's Top 10

As she revs up for her Circus tour's big return to the States, Britney Spears appeared in an evidently pre-taped segment on Late Show With David Letterman last night to present "The Top 10 Ways the World Would be Different if Britney Spears Were President." It felt more like Spears was campaigning on a "check out my bikini body" platform rather than "health care reform for all," but that probably didn't come as a shock to anyone — including Letterman, who read the topic and joked, "Whoa ... think about that." We are, Dave, we are. Highlights included "We would only invade fun places like Cabo," "Three words: Vice President Diddy" and the standout "Free pie for everybody." Watch the full clip after the jump and check out photos of Spears' sexy Circus show here.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
