Britney Spears’ new single, Hold It Against Me, will be officially released tomorrow but it has leaked online today!

Hear it for yourself and tell me if you love it, hate it or don’t care much for it!

Britney Spears needs some good news and she’s got some!  

When I saw this picture, I knew I had to share it with you. Not because of the shock factor; not to belittle someone’s looks. But more to educate.

Hollywood sets the tone for glamor. For what is considered the standard of beauty. So many every-day women develop poor self-image of themselves because of self-comparisons to the unrealistically-beautiful women portrayed in the media or on the big screen. But ladies – take note: Hollywood beauty is mostly smoke and mirrors.

I’m telling you, you would not even recognize half of the celebrity women if you saw them without their makeup and wardrobe. They look like the rest of us without the help of hours worth of beauty enhancements. I see them every day, and wonder, quietly, “How do you look so different in person?”

Take Britney Spears for example. How many young girls have changed their entire look or fashion just to emulate this woman? She, after all, was for many years the icon for beauty and sex appeal. She still is on days she is all made up to look like the Britney we think we know.

But even this “ideal” can have a day off as you can see. And it is OK.

So, next time you feel bad about yourself, don’t. Just remember, most women on TV or movies, don’t really look like that in real life. They probably look more like me and you.
