Britney Spears makes cameo in Pussycat Dolls video

Britney Spears is set to appear in the video for the brand new single from the Pussycat Dolls, it is being reported.

Spears shot her cameo for the song �??When I Grow Up�?? yesterday in Los Angeles, but those hoping to see more than a few seconds of Spears may be disappointed.

According to Usmagazine.com, Spears�?? cameo features her in a car that passes the Pussycat Dolls in traffic.

�??Britney is driving in a car. They all wave at each other as they are passing in traffic �?? that is it,�?� a source told the tabloid.

Spears has recently shown in increased interest in acting, taking a part on TV show �??How I Met Your Mother�??. The appearance was originally intended as a two-episode stint, but she is expected to reappear on the show in the future.

Spears was hospitalised earlier this year for psychiatric problems, leading a judge to award conservatorship of her estate to her father, Jamie Spears.

A judge last week ruled that she is currently not well enough to participate in �??any meaningful way�?� to legal issues surrounding the conservatorship.

LOS ANGELES - Coolio was arrested Tuesday on an outstanding misdemeanour warrant for driving with a suspended license, Los Angeles police said.

The 44-year-old rapper was released roughly five hours after officers pulled over his grey Hummer around 1:45 a.m. in Hollywood. He posted $10,000 bail.

Officers stopped him because the vehicle's registration was expired, but a check revealed his licence was suspended and he had an outstanding warrant, Officer Ana Aguirre said.

Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., gained fame for his 1995 single "Gansta's Paradise."

HIGH DEPENDENCY UNITMetamathics (Shoot the Freak/Border)Rating: * * * *Verdict: You may need a stint in the HDU after first album in seven yearsNo band whips up a swirl of sonic bedlam like HDU and in their 13-year history they have always had a fragile and tranquil side to them. On fifth album Metamathics, these two distinct sides come together from the start as the raw guitar spikes and bass dirge of Stupormodel gives way to the stunning poise of second track Grace.The New Zealand trio, made up of drummer Dino Karlis, singer/guitarist Tristan Dingemans and bass player Neil Phillips, took a break following 2001's Fireworks. In 2006 they resurfaced with soaring beauty Tunguska.Stupormodel appeared on last year's split seven-inch with Die!Die!Die!, and both tracks are highlights on Metamathics. At only nine songs it might seem lazy, but bear in mind The National Grid clocks in at 13 beautiful, brittle and sprawling minutes. That track, with its eerie saxophone squeals, is more like sound exploration than a song and it's something they've touched on in past recordings but never as intently as this.




Then with Irma Vep we're propelled into a mangled groove with psychedelic helicopters hovering around, and to finish its back to tranquility for Wish We Were Here. This is a journey from bedlam to bliss and back again.
