LAS VEGAS — As showtime for Britney Spears' special performance at the Palms in Las Vegas draws closer, fans have already begun to cluster in the lobby of the hotel to make sure they get a plumb spot at the show. And for many, just seeing Spears' name on the marquee, alongside that of house DJ Pauly D, certainly added to the excitement.

"We're so excited. We were Britney Spears for Halloween," Spears fan Kelsey told us. Kelsey and a group of eight of her best girlfriends already had plans to be at the Palms for spring break when they found out they'd also be checking out the Femme Fatale star herself. The one-off performance will be filmed by MTV.

Katie, who was one of the lucky fans to get a coveted ticket for the show, added, "We have no idea what will happen. We're really excited about the show. I think no matter what it is, we'll be super-excited."

With so much about the show under wraps, the Britney fans we spoke to said they have high hopes that Spears will be true to form. "I feel like the old Britney's finally back so we're excited," one said. "I think it's the whole show together. It's the whole production [that we're excited to see]. The choreography, lighting, the energy in the crowd. We're lucky to know that you're one of the few who get to see her. Super-lucky!"

Spears' latest album, Femme Fatale, arrives Tuesday after months of song and video teasers.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette Get Close at 'Scream 4' Function

There may be a reconciliation in the works for Courteney Cox and David Arquette! The couple reunited on Wednesday at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, where they were both on hand to promote the upcoming Scream 4.

Sources say that the twosome, who separated in October after 11 years of marriage, was extremely affectionate with each other, exchanging loving glances and even holding hands! 

During their interviews with Entertainment Tonight, both Arquette, 39, and Cox, 46, had nothing but complimentary things to say about each other and seemed playful in between takes.

"We're separated, we're working on ourselves and our relationship and sort of figuring out what we want," Arquette revealed to ET. "You know, life's complicated and people go through changes."

Both parties have been vocal about still loving the other, and neither seem like they are really ready to give up on their life as a family with their 6-year-old daughter, Coco.

Cox even gushed about how highly she thinks of her estranged hubby and how comfortable she is around him.

"It was very easy, we really respect each other and we help each other," she said about shooting the horror film together. "I mean, I respect his opinion so much that I'm always asking him, 'What do you think?' I think it's very easy to work with him."

Lady Gaga's Scrapped Deal Leaves Target 'Surprised And Disappointed'

Gaga dissolved relationship with retail giant over reported political contributions made to antigay gubernatorial candidate.

Retail giant Target has issued a statement in reaction to the news that Lady Gaga has decided not to release an exclusive deluxe edition of Born This Way, due May 23, through the store as originally planned.

In a statement released to MTV News, Target explained that Gaga's reservations about working with the company came as a shock. Gaga had reportedly dissolved her relationship with the chain megastore after LGBT groups began investigating certain donations the store made, including a 2010 donation of corporate funds to MN Forward, a political action committee that supported antigay candidate Tom Emmer in his 2010 run for governor of Minnesota.

"We were very surprised and disappointed by the statements made by Lady Gaga's organization related to her partnership with Target," the company wrote. "Target remains committed to the LGBT community as demonstrated by our contributions to various LGBT organizations, our recently established Policy Committee to review our political giving and our respectful, inclusive workplace environment."

Gaga, an outspoken gay activist, had previously addressed concerns about Target's political leanings but hoped that they would be able to work to expand their LGBT horizons with her onboard.

"That discussion was one of the most intense conversations I've ever had in a business meeting," Gaga said. "Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGBT charity groups and begin to reform and make amends for the mistakes they've made in the past. ... Our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they've made supporting those [antigay] groups."

Michael Jackson Doctor Conrad Murray's Trial To Be Televised

Judge rules that camera will be allowed in the courtroom for manslaughter case.

For what promises to be one of the most bizarre and riveting legal proceedings in years, a Los Angeles judge ruled on Monday that a television camera will be allowed in the courtroom when Michael Jackson's doctor goes on trial for involuntary manslaughter.

Reuters reported that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, approved the presence of a camera in the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray as long as it does not interfere with the proceedings in the closely watched case.

The judge asked for the "absolute least-intrusive placement" of a TV camera in the courtroom, but blocked cameras from documenting jury selection.

Pastor also announced that he would bump up the opening date of the trail by four days to March 24, at which point jury selection will begin. Murray, who faces up to four years in prison if convicted, has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and the trial is expected to last around six weeks.

Cardiologist Murray was hired to be Jackson's personal physician in the run-up to the King of Pop's planned 50-date comeback series of shows at London's O2 arena in the summer of 2009. The doctor told police that he provided Jackson, 50, with sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol in order to combat the singer's chronic insomnia. He said he did so on the morning of June 25, 2009, when Jackson died of what a coroner deemed acute propofol poisoning.

TMZ reported on Tuesday (February 8) that Murray's lawyers plan to argue that Jackson was already in weak health before he died and that it's unfair to blame propofol for his passing. Unnamed sources close to the case told the gossip site that at the time of his death, Jackson's body was already failing him in part because concert promoter AEG Live had "driven [him] over the edge" with a rigorous rehearsal schedule for the shows.

Murray's lawyers reportedly plan to call witnesses to say that Jackson was not showing up for rehearsals and when he did he showed "clear signs" of frail health. They also reportedly plan to argue that it was Jackson who administered the final, fatal dose of propofol to himself while Murray was out of the room.

Rapper Nate Dogg Laid to Rest in Long Beach

Paying final respects to their late loved one, thousands of mourners turned up for the funeral of Nate Dogg (Nathaniel Dwayne Hale) in Long Beach, CA on Saturday (March 26).

With the proceedings taking place at Queen Mary Dome, attendees saying their goodbyes to the rap star included fellow hip-hop hitmakers such as Snoop Dogg, Warren G and The Game.

With a public viewing having been held at New Hope Baptist Church the previous evening, the burial comes after Nate Dogg passed away on March 15th at the young age of 41-years-old due to complications from multiple strokes.

At the New Hope event, Nate's sister, Pamela Hale-Burns, told MTV that the place of worship was where her brother got his musical start.

Hale-Burns said, "Singing is something that we grew up doing, and I'm just glad to know that my brother was able to do what he loved. I said earlier that he chose a career where he never worked a day in his life, because he loved doing what he did."
