- Britney Spears is scheduled to shoot her new video for “Piece of Me,” the second single off Blackout, at L.A. lounge Social Hollywood today. US Weekly reports Wayne Isham — who was behind Spears’ canyon-filled video for “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” — is directing. The reported concept mimics Spears’ real life travails as she and her dancers sneak into the club in matching disguises only to have the paparazzi pounce once she reveals herself.
- Organizers of the U.K.’s Isle of Wight Festival have announced the Police will headline the three-day event on June 15th, 2008 (the Rolling Stones did the honors this year). The Police are expected to continue their reunion tour with an international run in 2008, but this is their only scheduled U.K. festival appearance.
- Carson Daly is expected to resume taping Last Call this week, making him the first late-night host to restart production since the writers strike began. The Tonight Show’s Jay Leno has discussed using guest hosts to resume live shows. The nearly month-long stint of repeats has affected show staff as well as guests like Amy Winehouse, who lost bookings.
- Nas‘ controversially titled new album will now be released next February, instead of next month. The MC told MTV News the record’s first single is expected to drop in January, and that supposedly leaked track “What It Is” is not part of the album’s tracklisting.
- Foxy Brown (a.k.a. Inga Marchand) has been released from solitary confinement after forty days — thirty-six days less than her sentence — for good behavior. Marchand was originally assigned to solitary lock-up after committing a trio of in-prison violations.
