Britney Spears has become a very busy lady in the lead-up to the March 29 release of Femme Fatale.

After rumors came out on Wednesday that Spears would make several appearances on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the week her album drops, a press release posted on her website now confirms that and a few other engagements on Brit's calendar.

The release also confirms that Spears will pre-tape her "Good Morning America" appearance on March 27, two days before it airs on the show. MTV will dedicate March 29 to the femme fatale herself for what is being dubbed a "Britney take-over" day on the network. Additionally, Spears will make an appearance on the Kids' Choice Awards on April 2, though there is no word on whether she'll be performing, presenting or just getting slimed.

Spears is currently rehearsing for her appearances and working on the video for her second single, "Till the World Ends." It will be directed by Norwegian director and photographer Ray Kay, who has worked with Lady Gaga, the Backstreet Boys, Beyoncé and Justin Bieber. The video will be shot in L.A. No date has been set for the video's premiere.

In recent weeks, Spears has been on several magazine covers (including Out and V magazine), and in interviews she has talked about wanting to try something new on the album.

"I think Femme Fatale speaks for itself," Spears told V. "I worked really hard on it and spent almost two years recording it. I think it's the best album I have ever made. There's nothing to say. I'll let the music speak for itself. ... It's definitely my edgiest and most mature sound yet.

"It's a little bit of [an evolution and a revolution]," she continued. "There are songs on this album that don't sound like anything else and are completely revolutionary, but I also believe this album expresses where I am today as a woman and is an evolution of who I am."

Nelly And Kelly Rowland 'Extend The Story' Of 'Dilemma' With 'Gone'

The last time Nelly and Kelly Rowland collaborated, they scored a pop smash with their 2002 hit "Dilemma," which was named one of the most popular songs of the decade by Billboard.
Now, eight years later, the duo are reuniting to give it another go, but to hear Nelly explain it, the forthcoming track "Gone" isn't a sequel to "Dilemma." Rather, the song, from Nelly´s upcoming relase 5.0 is an "update."

"I don't want to say it's a sequel. I don't want to diminish anything with 'Dilemma' or have an expectation you can't live up to when you do that," Nelly told MTV News. "When you do that type of thing, there's people who are already, 'I don't wanna hear it. It's supposed to be "Dilemma." ' You already being negative [before] pushing the button!
"It's one of those things where we did reconnect," he continued. "Our chemistry has already proven to be good, whether it was onstage or in the studio. It was something that we wanted to reconnect with. It was produced by Jim Jonsin. ... It's a cool joint. I think people will get it. It can never be 'Dilemma,' but we wanted to extend the story. It's continuing the story a little bit more, seeing her again."
Before "Gone" hits the airwaves, however, Nelly is riding high off the success of "Just a Dream" cracking the top 10 on the Hot 100 chart. The record, also produced by Jonsin, is Nelly's return to the charts in the wake of his commercially disappointing last album, 2008's Brass Knuckles. He credited his fans with the song's success.
"It's always great when your fans come out and support [you] anytime in your career," he said about the achievement. "But definitely after 10 years, and when you haven't been quite on the scene as much as your fans would like you to, but when they do get a glimpse of you and they feel good, it also makes you feel good."

Nicki Minaj 'Letting It All Hang Out' On 'Super Bass' Video Set

While Nicki Minaj is supposedly on a recording hiatus, that isn't stopping the chart-topping rap diva from creating steamy visuals for a track featured on the deluxe edition of her platinum-selling debut, Pink Friday. MTV News caught up with the fashion-forward diva on the set of her new video for "Super Bass."

Dazzling in a skintight pink bodysuit emblazoned with giraffe prints, Nicki completed the look with a half-blond and half-pink wig, gold eye shadow and bright pink lipstick matching the outfit. Nicki revealed the theme behind the song during a break in shooting.
" 'Super Bass' is about the boy that you are crushing over," Nicki said. "And you kind of want to get your mack on, but you're taking the playful approach."
Gyrating atop a crystal-clear motorcycle, Nicki is clearly upping the sex appeal. The Young Money diva explained the focus behind the video: "I just wanted to do something real colorful and cutesy. This is an icy world, it's a sexy world, it's a playful world. Of course I have lots of eye candy for my girls and my boys," she teased.
The teasing doesn't stop there. "We have a lot of little surprises in store for this particular video," Nicki promised. "I would like to put out 50 videos. The videos really tell the story a lot more elaborately than just the song does."
Nicki also talked about her smash hit "Moment 4 Life" and its incredible staying power. "It's been #1 on the rap Billboard charts and then it's been #1 on the R&B and hip-hop charts," marveled the 26-year-old starlet. Pink Friday continues to break records as well, with the album achieving a milestone of the most consecutive weeks in the top 10 by a female rapper.
The hip-hop beauty summed up neatly her approach to the video in a few brief words. "I felt like 'Moment 4 Life' was like letting my hair down, but 'Super Bass' is letting it all hang out," Nicki said with a playful chuckle.
