Here’s some exciting news for Britney Spears fans! Brit’s new video for her latest single, “If U Seek Amy” will premiere online on Thursday, March 12th. The video will be available for a limited 24-hour period on a few selected sites before being pulled back down in anticipation of the video’s proper full release.

You’ll be able to find it on BritneySpears.com, Britney.com, and the Virgin Mobile USA site; Virgin is sponsoring the Circus tour.

In the video we’ll get to see Britney as a 1950’s style sexy housewife. With all the hooplah over whether the song is inappropriate for radio play, due to the fact that “If U Seek Amy” is actually meant to say “f*ck me” by spelling it out, I am very interested in seeing what the video will look like! I’m sure it’s going to be very sexy and possibly controversial, and I can’t wait!

There’s always some sort of scandal or controversy for poor Britney Spears isn’t there? Right now radio stations are dealing with the outfall of the announcement that Britney’s newest single would be “If U Seek Amy”.

Stations are really unsure as to how to handle the song, according to MTV. Although there are no outright expletives used in the song, people are very aware that it’s really meant as “F-U-C-K Me”. In particular the problem comes with the line “All of the boys and all of the girls are begging to If U Seek Amy” which is fairly obvious.

But is it really? A quote in the article says this:

“It’s OK to put in on an album, have fun with it, but we’re publicly owned, you know?” said Patti Marshall, program director at Cincinnati’s Q102, a pop station in a decidedly conservative Midwestern market. “We have a responsibility to the public … you put this … out and act like we’re all fuddy-duddies, like we’re trying to make moral judgments. It’s not about us. It’s about the mom in the minivan with her 8-year-old.”

But is that child going to catch what she’s saying? I think the title’s true meaning is blatantly obvious to adults and it’s likely obvious to the majority of teens who, by that age, have more than likely heard the actual word in a non-spelled-out way. I don’t think an eight-year-old is going to sing along and then suddenly stop and laugh, “Oh! Do you know what she’s REALLY saying?!”

I don’t know, maybe I’m just not giving kids enough credit but I play Britney’s album in my living room around my kids (3 and 6) and I’ve never once worried about them catching it.

As for the controversy, despite the fact that some stations may refuse to play it, I think that a lot of them will indeed let the single play. And even if they don’t let’s be serious for a second - a little controversy is sometimes a very good thing for a celebrity’s career. It gets people talking. How long could we all talk about how great Britney’s comeback is going? Eventually it wears off, so now we have something new that will keep Britney in the headlines.

I highly doubt that the people who made the decision to release “If U Seek Amy” as a single were unaware of the firestorm it would create. I believe that they knew exactly what they were doing and knew that regardless of how angry parents and nervous radio stations might react, this song would keep Britney fresh in everyone’s minds.

What do you think of the controversy behind the song?

Paps caught a set of Britney Spears looking hot in a bikini in her back yard. There was a bit of controversy as one picture shows little Sean Preston grabbing Britney’s pack of cigarettes and the fact that Britney is smoking by her kids…

Give me a f@$&ing break! What kid with 2 smoking parents has never grabbed their smokes?!? Oh, yea, and what smoking parent doesn’t smoke by their kids when it is outside in the open air?!?
