get her wish now that Enrique has backed down?
In the documentary, Brit talks with MTV’s Sway Calloway about the first person on her list of artists she’d like to join her on tour —Usher!

The Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale special airs Sunday at 9 p.m. on MTV.
Pop star Rihanna personal secrets revealed for the first time, she said that she is bold in their s**ual relations, and loves to be restricted and hit her.
Rihanna (23 years), in an interview with Rolling Stone: "To be obedient in the bedroom is fun really, to become a little girl takes care of my people macho order to achieve comfort to me," she said: "I would love to give, and verify fun to restricted me " .
And indicated that it is no longer interested in talking again with Brown, who was convicted of assaulting her last year.
"Rihanna" had recently passed health pictures showing topless recently published on the websites. She wrote, "Rihanna" on the front page in the site "Twitter": "Yes, this is who I am when you're skinny."
Often associated with the emergence of Rihanna Media some videos bold and, more recently classified site "YouTube" video clip song "Only Girl" that is not suitable for those under the age of eighteen.
Rihanna was born in Barbados in 1988 to her father Ronald Fenty, a salesman, and her mother, Monica, Accounting.
And was able to star the famous American to become the first pop singer tops the list of the most beautiful songs over the past 5 consecutive years in the British market.
Despite the old artistic relatively short; they were able to get this title, and achieve wealth worth 143 million pounds sterling and did not exceed the age of 23 after.
It's the PR disaster heard 'round the world. The tables have turned on Food Network star Ina Garten, the 'Barefoot Contessa,' who got caught red-handed last week turning down a Make-a-
Wish kid. On Monday, she called the family of Enzo Pereda, a 6-year-old cancer patient, to say she had reconsidered, but now TMZ is reporting they turned her down.
"This has been a disaster for Ina," a foodie insider tells me. "She buried her head in the sand for days hoping the bad publicity would go over, but it didn't."
To a casual observer -- as well as the scores of new ex-fans -- Ina's change of heart on Monday appeared to be possibly driven more by the desire to nip a festering scandal in the bud, rather than to make a sick little boy's dream come true.
"She was worried her initial reaction was hurting her business," my source contends.
Ina had twice blew off meeting Enzo after the wonderful Make-A-Wish Foundation approached her before being shamed into finally contacting his family, independently of the foundation.
"Chefs think they are the new rock stars. And no one has a higher opinion of themselves than Ina," an insider tells me. "She forgot a long time ago that it is the fans who make you who you are. You can be the most talented chef in the world, but if people don't like you, they won't watch your shows or buy your cookbooks."
Ultimately, Enzo's family decided to put an end to the madness and move on from Ina. "I don't want to put my son through all these emotions. We're better off just leaving everything the way it is," dad Adrian told TMZ.
It's great to see that the Pereda family holds no bad feelings and is already getting excited to have Enzo's other wish come true ... to swim with dolphins.
Michael Bublé is off the market! The Canadian singer wed Argentine actress Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre in a civil ceremony in Beunos Aires, Argentina on Thursday, PEOPLE reports.
The bride wore a violet dress with silver heels and the groom wore a gray suit. After the ceremony, the newly married couple posed and kissed for cameras and fans. de la Torr also threw a bouquet of purple orchids into the crowd.
But this civil ceremony was just the beginning of wedding celebrations for the pair. Bublé and de la Torr will also host a bigger ceremony for 300 guest this weekend at a mansion outside of Buenos Aires.
Bublé and de la Torr got engaged last November. "He designed the setting himself. He's very proud to be engaged to her," a friend tells PEOPLE.
The couple met in November of 2008. "They met at a party the record company threw for him after his show in Buenos Aires. The head of the label wanted to introduce Michael to Argentina's most famous actress. When he met her, he said it was love at first sight," the friend adds
For the first time since hosting the Oscars, James Franco is addressing rumors that he was stoned during the gig. In an interview on 'The Late Show With Dave Letterman,' airing Thursday evening,
the actor reveals why he appeared so low energy.
"People said I was under the influence," Franco said during his 'Late Show' interview, which airs tonight.
"Now why would they say that?" asked Letterman with a laugh.
The '127 Hours' actor replied, "I've thought about it. I think I know why, because--I love her--but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway."
"Truthfully," Franco added, "and I haven't watched it back, maybe I had low energy. I actually played those lines as well as well as I could."
Franco concluded talking about the awards show by pointing out how wishy-washy Hollywood is: "But here's the hypocritical thing: Leading up the Oscars, I couldn't hear enough about how, 'Oh, people don't care about the Oscars anymore; it's dead, it's boring, it's at the end of a long awards season, who cares about it?' Well, as soon as you don't host the way they want you to, they suddenly care and won't shut up about it!"
Miley Cyrus was once a burgeoning 13-year-old star herself, so why is she hating on young Rebecca Black?
"It should be harder to be an artist," Cyrus pined to Australia's Daily Telegraph when asked about
the rising viral sensation and her new song, 'Friday.' "You shouldn't just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour."
Cyrus is no stranger to controversy, but to be fair, she has held it together better than most child-turned-adult stars. Upon turning 18 she's had to face the near-divorce of her parents, racy photos being leaked, the cancellation of 'Hannah Montana' and, of course, the whole salvia bong-smoking incident. But don't look for her to take to the social airwaves to complain about it.
"I do not tweet, I do not social network, I try to stay out of it," she admitted. "For me, I complain enough about people knowing too much about my private life, so to go out there and exploit myself would be silly and hypocritical of what I stand for."
Cyrus is dealing with it the way she was raised by her father Billy Ray Cyrus to deal with it: by singing. "I don't lip-sync," she said proudly. "I would rather someone say I sang like crap than have people see me lip-sync."
Scaling back her stage performance, Cyrus was interviewed by The Daily Telegraph in advance of the Australian leg of her 'Gypsy Heart' tour, and she was excited to share that this set of shows features fewer costume changes, some acoustic songs and a set list influenced by shout-outs from the crowd -- all for a ticket price under $100. But will she be traveling alone?
"I don't want to cross out the Australian boys, but I may or may not be single ... I'm definitely not coming to Australia single."
In a recent interview with Hot 97's Angie Martinez, Lil Wayne discussed life after prison, sober living and his new favorite show, 'Jersey Shore.'
Though he was incarcerated during the second season of the popular MTV reality show, Wayne told Angie that he's since made up for lost time. "On the real, I just started watching 'Jersey Shore,'" Wayne explained. "You can ask them, I'm mad I missed out. And then the other day Vinny had on a 'Free Weezy' shirt, I rocks with 'Jersey Shore,' man."
In particular, Wayne said that he "rocks with" the ladies of the 'Shore,' though diminutive fireball Snooki did not get love from the Young Money boss. "I like Deena and I like Angelina and, um, Jenni," Wayne revealed. "Now if I catch one of them, it's on."
Weezy also gave props to several male members of the cast, marveling at the way they bring girls home from the club. "I like they swag. I like Pauly D swag and Vinny's swag. I ain't really on Ronnie and Mike like that," Wayne said. "I like the fact that they set the trend you supposed to live by as a young male in this world. They go to the club, and they really come back with something like every time. Every time, fool. That's my favorite show right there."
In the interview, which aired March 29, Wayne further revealed that he works too hard to listen to Drake and Nicki Minaj's albums, and that retiring at 35 would be "enough" for his career. "People think that when you say you work hard, they think you put two extra hours in. This is my life," he explained. "That's why retiring at 35 would be a life lived, because this music thing is my life. So retiring at 35 would be enough. I'm 28."

After a major documentary success with 'Never Say Never 3D' and a two-part cameo on 'CSI,' Justin Bieber might be ready for an old-fashioned Hollywood role. According to the LA Times,
Bieber and Kutcher are expected to collaborate for the non-musical movie 'What Would Kenny Do?' about a guy who travels in time to guide his awkward 17-year-old self through high school.
Sounds kind of like '17 Again' meets 'Hitch' meets elements of 'Back to the Future,' but will it have the same appeal for Bieber fans that 'Never Say Never' had if it's only going to showcase his acting rather than his singing and slow-motion hair-swishing?
'Never Say Never 3D' is currently the highest-grossing concert film of all time, by the way, and domestically took in about the same as Kutcher's latest, 'No Strings Attached.' Also, due to Bieber's busy schedule, 'Kenny' won't go before cameras for another year. Will science have found a cure for Bieber Fever by then?
The script for the movie, which was originally raunchy and involved a hologram of the kid's older self rather than straight time travel, was conceived by Chris Baldi and made the 2008 Black List of best un-produced screenplays. Since then it has been reworked by '(500) Days of Summer' (and 'The Pink Panther 2') scribes Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and is now set up at Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment (Might we see Jaden as Bieber's high school pal?) with Kutcher's Katalyst Entertainment also producing. Yet another rewrite is expected, and a director is being sought.
From warlock to recording artist, Charlie Sheen has been making some major moves in the past few months. His latest? He's recording a song with Snoop Dogg.
According to PEOPLE, Sheen and Snoop have recorded a song for Sheen's upcoming 20-city tour, 'My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option Show.' The first show is set to hit the stage in Detroit this weekend, so we have a feeling our ears will be tickled with Sheen and Snoop Dogg's jingle soon enough.
Word of the song first came to light after Sheen tweeted a photo of himself, the rapper and producer, Rob Patterson, getting down to business in the studio. What we wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall when those two were pitching lyric ideas to one another.
Sheen tweeted, "Warlock meets his makers-music makers that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within!"
Snoop, himself, has also been quite the busy doggie lately. According to Billboard, he just released his album, 'Doggumentary,' and is also in talks to appear in a comedy alongside fellow rapper, Wiz Khalifa.

Shakira is dating Spanish soccer player Gerard Pique and posted the photo above on her Twitter.
Shakira has finally confirmed she has a new beau!
The singer and dancer posted a photo of them together on her Twitter page yesterday, confirming months of speculation that she is dating the soccer stud.
She wrote underneath the photo, “Les presento a mi sol,” which translates from Spanish as “I present to you my sunshine.”
There have been rumors swirling that the singer was dating the FC Barcelona player after Pique, who is 10 years her junior, posted pictures of them partying together on his birthday in February.
Earlier this year, Shakira announced she had ended 11-year relationship with Antonio de la Rua, 37. There were rumors he had been cheating on her.
Rihanna on Chris Brown: 'We Don't Have to Talk Ever Again in My Life'
In her Rolling Stone cover story, Rihanna reveals why she agreed to loosen the stipulations of a
restraining order against ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. "I just didn't want to make it more difficult for him professionally. What he did was a personal thing -- it had nothing to do with his career. Saying he has to be a hundred feet away from me, he can't perform at awards shows -- that definitely made it difficult for him." But the "S&M" singer assures that "it doesn't mean we're gonna make up, or even talk again," adding she and Brown "don't have to talk ever again in my life." (Rolling Stone)
While Simon Cowell, Lady Gaga, Chris Brown, Nick Jonas and Justin Bieber may support Rebecca Black, you won’t find Miley Cyrus covering or praising her catchy ditty “Friday.” The 18-year-old
singer voiced her opinion on the 13-year-old Internet sensation in a recent interview, and she didn’t have anything nice to say.
From her salvia bong incident to family drama and relationship scandals, the 18-year-old singer is now remaining very focused on her singing career, which she has no regrets about.
“It should be harder to be an artist,” Miley told Australia’s Daily Telegraph, via the New York Daily News. “You shouldn’t just be able to put a song on YouTube and go out on tour.”
Rebecca, who gained more than 16 million YouTube views in less than a week after debuting the heavily auto-tuned song “Friday” which has now reached over 65 million views, is on track to make hundreds of thousands of dollars from her catchy song.
Even Lady Gaga praised Rebecca’s work, Tweeting recently: “I say Rebecca Black is a genius and that anybody telling her she’s cheesy is full of s**t.”
But Miley is far from impressed.
“I would rather someone say I sang like crap, than have people see me lip-sync,” she said. “There’ll be acoustic things, songs I’ve never done on tour before.”
Looks like the former Disney star won’t be following the path of ex Nick Jonas or JB when it comes to covering “Friday.”
Looks like art and real life are colliding for Courteney Cox.
The 46-year-old actress showed off her toned figure in a minuscule bikini yesterday on the beaches
of St. Barth's with a shirtless Josh Hopkins, who plays Cox's love interest on 'Cougar Town.'
Coco, Cox's 6-year-old daughter with estranged husband, David Arquette, also vacationed with the couple.
On a recent episode of 'Access Hollywood Live,' Cox gushed over Arquette, fueling rumors of a reconciliation between the couple, who separated after 11 years of marriage.
"Now he looks the best he's ever looked. He's doing great. He's just awesome," said Cox. "He looks really, really cute."
Britney Spears is being sued by former business partners for breach of contract, fraud and deceit, RadarOnline.com reports. The $10 million suit was filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Spears and her father, Jamie, are accused of cutting Brand Sense Partner, LLC. out of commission it's owed on a perfume deal it brokered for the pop star with Elizabeth Arden. Brand Sense and Spears renegotiated their original 2003 deal last year but the brand marketing company is now claiming the new agreement violates the original.
In fact, they claim Spears and her father acted secretly to cut them out of the deal.
"Britney secretly made a separate deal with Elizabeth Arden in a sneaky underhanded effort to circumvent and evade its obligations to Brand Sense," the suit states. "Effectively, Britney improperly and illegally cut Brand Sense out of the Elizabeth Arden deal."
The company is seeking declaratory relief in excess of $10 million, as well as compensatory and punitive damages.
No word yet on the suit from Spears' camp.
Not only was Colin Farrell one of the few non-family members who attended Elizabeth Taylor's funeral last week, he also recited a poem during the service. The actor explained his unlikely
friendship with the late, great actress to Access Hollywood.
"How did we become friends? You know, the old story of boy meets girl, and boy pesters girl with too many phone calls at inappropriate hours of the night," Farrell said of his friendship with Taylor, who passed away last week at age 79. "I was just lucky enough to become her friend in the last year and a half," he said. "I adore her... still."
The admiration was mutual, as Taylor mentioned him in an interview with Kim Kardashian for the March issue of Harper's Bazaar. "I love Johnny Depp, and I love Colin Farrell -- both brilliant, nuanced actors with great range."
Farrell was asked to read the poem 'The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo' at Taylor's funeral -- a request made by the actress before her death, which was passed along to Farrell.
"Elizabeth chose it. It was a tricky poem as well," Farrell said. "Even in passing she had me under the thumb, sweating bricks."
"I just miss her; I just miss her; I just miss her," he said of his late friend.
Just last month NBC announced Adrianne Palicki will resurrect the role of the crime fighting female, Wonder Woman, in David E. Kelley's newest project, and it seems they are wasting no
time. The 'Friday Night Lights' alum was spotted in her full Wonder Woman gear, running through the streets of Hollywood late last night, looking fierce in her red bustier.
The original Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, is excited for the remake and doesn't mind if people like Palicki better than her. "You know, I'm very sensitive to the fact that she will be compared. ... There's no getting around it. It is what it is. I would hope that people would cut her some slack."
The pilot has yet to be picked up, but chances seem good as the show has already received quite a bit of buzz.

Rihanna graces the cover of Rolling Stone's April issue, and the 'S&M' singer is bound to turn a few heads with this one.
Her barely there booty shorts, fantastically short, shredded and silver, are eye-catching to say the least. Rihanna has been sporting her Kool-Aid-red locks for some time now, but especially voluminous curls make this cover shot ever-so-sultry.
Earlier this month Rihanna revealed her fitness secrets when she posed for a Vogue photo shoot with famed photographer Annie Leibovitz.
The new issue of Rolling Stone, which includes a never-before-seen interview with Elizabeth Taylor, hits stands April 1.
What used to be a family business is no longer. Beyonce has dropped her father as her manager, E! Online reports.
Matthew Knowles has managed his daughter's career since her early days in the business, including her time spent as part of the hit group Destiny's Child.
Just because the two are parting ways professionally, however, doesn't mean any sort of family drama going on behind the scenes caused the split.
"He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly," the singer said in a statement, adding that she and her father are separating only "on a business level."
The announcement comes on the heels of rumors swirling that the singer plans to drop her next single this spring.
Beyonce isn't the only former Destiny's Child singer to drop Knowles as a manager. Kelly Rowland also parted ways with him back in 2009
Farley Granger, who starred in the Alfred Hitchcock classic film 'Strangers on a Train,' died Monday, according to E! Online. He was 85.
Though his role in 1951's 'Strangers on a Train' is by far his most memorable, Granger was no stranger to other parts. He made his debut in Hitchcock's 'Rope' in 1948, Nicholas Ray's 'They Ride by Night' in 1949 and Luchino Visconti's Italian drama 'Senso' in 1954.
He also starred in 1955's 'The Naked Street' and 'The Girl on the Red Velvet Swing' in 1955 but then focused more on theater and television roles.
The actor penned a candid memoir, 'Include Me Out: My Life From Goldwyn to Broadway' in 2008, chronicling his time as a leading man in Hollywood during the 1950s, as well as many of his close personal relationships.
According to his book, he had romantic relationships with both men and women, including Ava Gardner, Patricia Neal, Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents. He began a relationship with soap opera producer Robert Calhoun in 1963, however, and stayed with him until Calhoun's death three years ago.
Watch Granger in the 'Strangers on a Train' trailer below.
The Internet is a great many things: a place to find videos of the world's cutest cats, a soapbox for people who want to anonymously scream at strangers and the home of celebrity death hoaxes and the people who love them.
The latest celeb "victim" of this trend is Jackie Chan, who allegedly met his end after suffering a heart attack while promoting his new film.
Website 7 News reported, "A Los Angeles hospital has reported that Jackie Chan has passed away. The legendary Hong Kong actor who appeared in over 100 films died last night following a heart attack. He was promoting his most recent film, 'Kung Fu Panda 2.' Doctors say his heavy schedule was causing extreme stress and putting too much pressure on his heart."
Fans took to Twitter in droves to mourn the martial arts master until the rumor was put to rest by the managers of Chan's account.
To all those who dare to mess with the Chan going forward, please be warned: This man has turned a necktie, a fridge, a ladder, a broom and a jungle gym into deadly weapons, so it's probably wise to keep on his good side.
Watch Chan fight everybody and win.
Just hours after Spears announced "We are going on tour with Enrique Iglesias in June!" on 'Good Morning America,' Iglesias has backed out of the show, Billboard reports.
The show's promoters, Live Nation, have not commented on Iglesias' departure, but Iglesias' busy schedule may have been a contributing factor. The singer, who is currently promoting his latest album, 'Euphoria,' while on tour in Europe, was scheduled to share billing with Spears on tour, which would involve both long hours on the road, but grueling nightly performances.
Sources have speculated that some of the motivation behind Iglesias' departure may have been financial, as production costs for a tour with two A-list celebrities would have been astronomical.
Iglesias has not yet issued a statement regarding his decision to pull out of the tour.
Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday after spitting up blood, TMZ.com reports. It's her second visit to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in the last five days.
Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, told TMZ the actress could "hardly breathe" and that he's "really worried we may lose her this time."
"She is having difficulty breathing," her rep John Blanchette confirmed to RadarOnline.com.
Word of legendary actress and friend Elizabeth Taylor's death upset Gabor so much last week that she had to be hospitalized with high blood pressure. According to her publicist John Blanchette, Gabor, upon hearing the news on television, replied, "Oh, Jane Russell and Liz Taylor -- I'm next."
The 94-year-old Hungarian actress has been plagued with health problems for some time. She was rushed to the hospital with a blood clot late last year. Then, months later, a lesion from an infected bone forced doctors to amputate part of her right leg. In March, she was rushed to the hospital again when blood flow to her left leg stopped, but she refused a second surgery to amputate it.
Anhalt has previously said the actress is currently on medication but only has a "50-50 chance" of surviving the next year without surgery.
Gabor has been known for decades for pioneering the act of being "famous merely for being famous," as she's often described. Her best-known role was in 1952's 'Moulin Rouge
