Britney Spears will share the stage with Madonna during the Material Girl's Sticky and Sweet Tour, except this time via video. Spears will reportedly shoot a video performance this week that will air during Madonna's concert, Access Hollywood reports. Both Madonna's publicist and Spears' manager confirmed the report. The exact content of the video is a "secret" at least until October 4th, when the U.S. leg of the tour launches in East Rutherford, New Jersey. However, one Madonna Website supposedly learned the set list and details for the tour, so you can try and pin Spears' appearance into one of the spoilers here.

Additionally, details about the book by Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone, titled Life With My Sister Madonna, have emerged. The biography seems to be pretty scathing, as Ciccone discusses his sister's drug use at length, as well as her rocky relationships with husbands Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
