Washington
(ANI):
Britney
Spears
has
been
forced
to
tone
down
the
video
for
her
comeback
single
'Gimme
More".
In
the
original
video,
the
singer
flashed
her
breasts
and
appeared
with
what
look
like
leaves
covering
her
bare
nipples.
However,
The
Sun
reports
that
the
singer
has
now
cut
out
those
topless
scenes.
As
to
why
Britney
would
take
a
step
like
this,
well
that"s
because
US
censors
would
have
only
allowed
the
video
to
be
broadcast
at
night
if
the
cut
had
not
been
made.
And
while
fans
will
not
get
to
see
Britney
topless,
they
will
be
able
to
hear
her
new
album
sooner
than
expected,
for
record
label
Jive
has
decided
to
release
it
earlier
than
the
Nov.
13
date.
The
album,
Blackout,
will
now
be
available
to
fans
on
Oct
30
due
to
'unauthorised
leaks".
Though
Jive
has
not
detailed
Blackout's
tracks
beyond
"Gimme
More",
it
has
been
reported
that
the
album
will
feature
the
songs
"Heaven
on
Earth,"
"Piece
of
Me,"
"Break
the
Ice" and
"Radar,"
one
of
the
leaked
cuts.
Britney"s
album,
Blackout,
will
now
be
available
to
fans
on
Oct
30
due
to
'unauthorised
leaks",
record
label
Jive
said
in
a
statement.
"Due
to
these
numerous
unauthorized
online
leaks
the
label
is
doing
everything
possible
to
prevent
and
avoid
any
further
illegal
distribution
of
songs,"
E!Online
quoted
the
label,
as
saying.
The
move
may
prove
beneficial
for
Britney
as
it
will
avoid
her
going
head-to-head
with
the
likes
of
Celine
Dion,
Ja
Rule
and
"Rehab"
singer
Amy
Winehouse.
Instead,
she
will
be
taking
on
smaller
field
of
contenders,
led
by
the
Backstreet
Boys.
Britney
Spears
attacked
ex-hubby
Kevin
Federline
several
times
during
their
marriage,
if
reports
are
to
be
believed.
Reports
claim
that
a
court
issued
orders
to
Spears
to
refrain
from
using
corporal
punishment
on
her
two
sons
after
K-Fed
said
that
Spears
assaulted
him
physically
a
number
of
times
during
their
two-year
marriage.
“Kevin
asked
for
that
(in
the
custody
case)
because
he's
sacred
she'll
hit
the
kids...
Kevin
says
she
hit
him
several
times
during
their
marriage,"
Contactmusic
quoted
a
source,
as
saying.
However,
a
source
close
to
the
singer
said
that
the
rumour
is
just
another
way
to
show
Spears
is
a
'bad
mom".
"This
is
just
another
attempt
to
make
Britney
look
like
a
bad
mom,"
the
source
said.
