Hollywood Deep

Britney Spears leaves a home in the Hollywood Hills where she spent most of the afternoon and heads back to a warehouse in Downtown LA, after being gone for 5 hours, to film her music video.

Britney Spears got serious about her comeback, by shooting a top-secret video in Los Angeles, last Thursday. The singer reportedly had sworn her aides, friends and backing dancers to secrecy about the project, but word spread that the video will be for new song “Get Back.” The new video will be the first Spears has shot for two years.
I got so many insider stories about this video shoot, it’s amazing it’s still considered top secret. I’m sure she thinks it’s still a secret. The video was shot in an art studio/ warehouse in downtown LA. In a really bad part of downtown, right down the street from LA’s main homeless mission. It’s the part of downtown, where you can barely walk on the sidewalk because there are so many homeless. I heard it was done for a very low budget for a Britney video, and she shelled out about $30,000 of her own money to make it happen. She showed up at a reasonable hour in the morning, and they shot an outside shot of her walking down the sidewalk. As the film company was moving inside the building, she disappeared for about 5 hours, leaving the crew nothing to do. When she returned reports are that she was completely crazy and unreasonable. Not wanting to shoot anything that was planned, and just making stuff up with her dancers. She then took a 2 hour break to get a massage. So it was now past midnight and the crew had been there for hours. They set up a bar scene with a bunch of extras, and a camera crane. Everyone had been working hard all day trying to make this happen for her. At this point about 2AM her assistant came out and said, Britney was tired and didn’t want to do this anymore. The company wrapped it up, shooting exactly one shot that was planned, and some other stuff that basically didn’t make any sense. She certainly didn’t come away from the shoot with her next video. I heard a reshoot is being planned to try to finish the video.
The general consensus was that she was obnoxious and arrogant not speaking directly to anyone. She had the attitude, that she was paying for it, so she could do whatever she wanted. Totally wasting all these people’s time, and not even paying them that well. All I have heard was that she was a nightmare, and the whole thing was a disaster. Her black weave looked ridiculous and she wore costumes that she should not have been wearing.
And she wasn’t even nice about it. Hopefully all of their checks cash.
…GOING DEEP!
