Britney is officially back - and with a vengeance, bitches!

The pop star's new single, Hold It Against Me, has barely been out a full week, and has already broken records on Mediabase - a music industry website that monitors and analyzes the airplay of tunes - in the published chart!

According to the stats, the single landed an enormous debut at 22, broke the record for one week spincrease with 3,866 spins, and had the biggest one week audience debut of 33,237,000!

Holy shiz! Gurl is unstoppable!

Congratulations, bb!

We have a feeling that this is only the beginning, and you've got a lot more record-breaking FEROCITY on its way!

LOVE her!!

Shakira published her first children's book, titled World School Day Adventure, as part of the Dora the Explorer series.

The story follows Dora and her companion Boots as they deliver school supplies to those in need.

Shakira says she wants "the children from all over the world to know that through knowledge and education, one can embark on great adventures." And added, "Dora is an inspiration for all children in the world. It was an honor working with Nickelodeon to write this story as education is a cause very close to my heart."

Paula Allen from Nickelodeon praised Shaki, saying, "Working with Shakira to create an educational and enriching story has been an extraordinary experience."

A percentage of the book's royalties will go to Shakira's Pies Descalzos Foundation, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating children.

So wonderful!

Well, lookie here!

Not only is James Franco a gifted actor, a Ivy-league grad student, a supporter of gay rights, a chronic masturbator, and deliciously seksi, but he is now a published author!

The actor was spotted down in a TriBeCa Barnes & Noble yesterday, reading excerpts from his new book, Palo Alto Stories, and looking mighty fine as usual!

A little out of sorts, though!

Did someone slip a little Bailey's into his coffee this morning instead of creamer to calm the nerves?

LOLs!

We cannot wait to read this!

The childhood diary of Edith "Little Edie" Bouvier Beale is set to be published!

As most know, she and her mother "Big Edie" became infamous for living like recluses in their Hamptons home, as documented by the 1976 film Grey Gardens. Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange portrayed them in the recent HBO program of the same name.

The diary, called I Only Mark The Hours That Shine, was apparently written in 1929 when Little Edie was only 11.

We wonder how much delusional glamour and crazy was bubbling underneath the surface, even back then!

What do U think?? Would be interested in reading Little Edie's diary??

What can't he do?!

After getting his masters at Columbia's writing program, James Franco is already published author.

His short story, Just Before The Black, is being published by Esquire Magazine. And that's not all!

The budding author is also working on a book. Franco just signed a deal with New York book company Scribner to publish a full collection of his work titled Palo Alto, which will hit stores this fall.

Hawt AND smart! Yum.
