Britney Spears' Leaked 'Telephone' Demo Confirmed By Producer Rodney Jerkins

Britney again come to the spotlight. What is the topic? It is about leaking! At the weekend, music blogs all over the Internet went into a frenzy over a supposed Britney Spears version of Lady Gaga's "Telephone," demo, but many were unsure whether it was actually the singer on the track. Last night, the producer of the song, Rodney Jerkins "Darkchild", took to Ustream to clarify that while he had no part in leaking the track, it is indeed Ms. Spears.

"As ya'll know, it's been an overwhelming day today. I want to say to all the people on Twitter, all Britney's fans, all the Darkchild fans, I was caught off guard last night with this 'Telephone' leak of Britney," he said.
"I've been asked to leak the version, and I haven't leaked the version, and then last night, there was a version leaked. I really don't know who leaked the version. It was an early demo stage of the version. It wasn't even a mixed version. I would never leak something without Britney's approval, without Larry Rudolph, without Jive Records," Darkchild continued.

While the producer made sure he cleared the air about the leak, he also spilled a few details about a recent visit he had with Britney's manager Larry Rudolph. "On Saturday evening, the night of the fight, Larry Rudolph, Britney Spears' manager, came to my house to watch the fight and we had an incredible conversation about Britney Spears' new album. And we talked about the direction of her album, he gave me some insight into the direction and he wants me to work on stuff for the album," he said.

Alyssa Milano insisting that she is not using Twitter as her self promotion

A lot of social communities like Twitter, Facebook, Opera, My Space, make upcoming stars to rise a position. Also like upcoming stars who are now reputed in their self glamorous world are using those communities. So why not this trend will work for Alyssa Milano? But this American actress and formerly singer Alyssa Milano insists that she doesn’t use Twitter for self-promotion.

The actress — who is returning to TV in the new ABC show Romantically Challenged — says she joined the popular social-networking site to become part of a community and share “interesting” things. “Well the interesting thing about Twitter is, if your heart is in it, is it becomes a community, and I don’t think there’s a lot of communities any more in the world … maybe just in religious institutions and fans of sports teams,” she said.

“My whole take on Twitter is to try to use it how any other responsible community member would. I don’t like to do too much self-promotion on there — when I first joined Twitter, I started following celebrities, and they self-promoted so much that I just un-followed them. So on my personal account, I really just try to share a piece of who I am with people, and be a good neighbor.

“I have other accounts — I have an account for the television show and for the clothing line because I figure if they’re interested in that aspect of my life, then they can follow those accounts. But they’re not following my account to hear me talk about myself. I just try to share links that I find that are interesting, things that I think it’s important to empower people about … I love it."
