Buzz Bites -- 7/8/2008: Britney And Madonna, Together Again!

+ Britney Spears is reportedly shooting a video segment for Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour. Assuming this actually happens (unlike, say, the ill-fated Pussycat Dolls cameo) it would be the first collaborative effort between the two since The Lesbian Kiss Heard Round The World back in 2003. (MTV)

+ Carla Bruni (the mistress-turned-wife of French prez Nicolas Sarkozy) drops her first album on July 11th. Unfortunately, the first lady has already provoked foreign leaders with her less-than-PC lyrics ("You are my drug/ More deadly than Afghan heroin/More dangerous than white Colombian). Anyone know the French equivalent for "hella awkward?" (Yahoo)

+ Alison Goldfrapp made other people suffer for her art when she wore this. (Go Fug Yourself)

+ If Coldplay's Chris Martin wants to name his children after Biblical wise men and pomaceous fruits, then doggone it, that's what he's going to do. (Usmagazine.com)

+ You know those reports about how Kanye West's people told him to seek anger management? Never happened. As a bemused Kanye puts it on his blog, "If anything, I need anger enhancement!" Hey, whatever helps you sleep at night, buddy. (MTV)

+ Jonas Brothers, 311, and Matisyahu all mentioned in the same sentence. Finally! (OnMilwaukee.com)

+ Taylor Swift reportedly emo over the birth of Nicole Kidman's baby. (Popcrunch)

+ Chumbawamba (best known for their infectious '90s smash, "Tubthumping") just rematerialized with a surprisingly intriguing new album. Insert obligatory "They got knocked down, but they got up again" joke *here.* (Very Short List)

+ Lily Allen finally dyes her cotton candy-colored coif, much to the disappointment of Dr. Seuss fans everywhere. (E! Online)
