Britney recently shot a cameo for Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” tour which launches in late August. “Britney, partially disguised by a gray hoodie, walks into the elevator. As she starts traveling upward, she seems particularly nervous and anxious. The popster starts pacing back and forth. Then she progresses to kicking and smacking the walls, all frantic-like. She screams into one of the cameras. Then she starts climbing the wall, pulls down her hood and, into another camera, says: ‘It’s Britney, bitch.’”

Sounds great and all, but we may never get to see the final cut as Madonna is none too pleased. A source close to Madonna says, “Britney looks amazing in the video but Madonna watched it and told them to take it out because she hated it. It was a scene where Britney was pretending to rip her own hair out.”

Perhaps Madonna’s poor decision stems from the stressful few months she’s had. “Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable. She’s down physically and mentally. The situation with Guy is very, very tense. The way the press are going crazy with the A-Rod story, her brother’s book and her physical exhaustion are all taking their toll. Family tension with her father and two of her other siblings has also been awkward. She feels nobody has taken her side. One of her closest pals says she has never seen Madonna so low. She has been feeling low and looking really gaunt.

Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings. She has a blood analysis done every few days – including one during last Friday’s rehearsal in front of everyone.”
