Wondering what the Femme Fatale Tour will look like when it kicks off next week? Well, wonder no more! Britney Spears offered up a tease of the stage in a new video posted online.

"Oh my God!" she squealed walking into the room seeing the setup for the first time. "I love it!"

Spears walked the stage with her managers, giving fans a taste of what's to come once the shows kick off June 16 in Sacramento, California, with opening act Nicki Minaj. The stage has it all: lights, video screens, a funky neon-colored floor, lasers, lifts and giant butterfly wings.

"It's beautiful," Spears said as she listened to her music blast over the loud speakers and checked out the way the lights and video would play during what appears to be a reworked version of "Hold It Against Me" that included more electric guitar.

"The Femme Fatale Tour will hopefully just be outrageously spectacular," Spears recently said about the multi-city arena tour. "I'm just hoping that the choreographers will come up with just the most outrageous things, and I'm really excited. ... This is one of the most excited I've been about a project in a really long time, so I can't wait."

Minaj is just as excited about the tour, and she knows she has to go big to match the spectacle of a Britney show. "I'm just trying to put more theater on that stage. So much to me is music, but it's also about putting on a show, so that's my goal: to truly put on a show and incorporate theater and dance," she explained. "I think it's pretty easy to take it to the next level ... I think I'm nowhere close to where I could be as far as my shows have been."

Spears' longtime manager Larry Rudolph teased the tour's theme months ago when he spoke to us in Las Vegas before Spears played a mini-set for an excited room of fans at the Palms Hotel and Casino. Even then, Rudolph knew Brit's track "Till the World Ends" would play into the theme.

" 'Till the World Ends' keeps becoming a theme for us," he said back in March. "The way we come up with a concept for a show like this is we sit with Britney, she talks to us about what she's interested in and what excites her. We start with the songs on the album; we start with coming up with general, broad concepts. She tells us what interests her and excites her."

Ever since they were first announced, the O Music Awards have proudly proclaimed themselves the untraditional alternative to the staid world of red carpets, acceptance speeches and celebrity glad-handing.

And for further proof of that point, consider the following: Though the inaugural O Music Awards won't premiere until April 28, the first award will be handed out on Monday at 4 p.m. ET ... and it's a big one.

For weeks, fans have been voting for the Most Innovative Music Video through the O Music Awards official site, and on Monday — in a roundtable debate moderated by MTV News' James Montgomery — a winner will be crowned.

The O Music Awards Debate for the Most Innovative Music Video, presented by FUZE®, will stream live on OMusicAwards.com and MTV.com. Joining Montgomery around the table will be acclaimed video director Wayne Isham, Mashable's Brenna Ehrlich and some super-secret celebrity guests.


The Black Eyed Peas, Ke$ha, My Chemical Romance and more will also take part in the discussion about just what makes a video truly innovative, and the folks who are nominated for the award — a list that includes Arcade Fire, Robyn, OK Go and Andy Grammer — will also Skype in to make the case for why their video deserves to be named Most Innovative.

On Monday morning, the original list of 10 nominees will be whittled down to the top five vote-getters, and then, during the debate, our roundtable and the Internet audience will cut that list down to the final three. At the very end, we'll announce the winner of the very first O Music Award for Most Innovative Video.

The inaugural O Music Awards will stream live from Las Vegas at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on OMusicAwards.com. Tune in to see who will reign supreme in categories like Most Viral Dance, Funniest Music Short and NSFW Music Video!

Get the deets and see the pics inside......

In the adorable interview just in time for Father's Day, Grant Hill gets interviewed by Myla for CHOP CHOP Magazine.  She asks her dad about his favorite foods, basketball and how often he eats (to be healthy). 

Read it here:

 

Grant Hill and his gorge wife Tamia also have another daughter, 4-year-old Lael Rose.

Meanwhile....Gabrielle Union covers the July 2011 issue of PEOPLE Magazine StyleWatch and shares her style secrets.

In the issue, Gabby offers up her Sexy Style Secrets, and reveals that her man Dwyane Wade is the fashionista of the couple pushes Gabby to "bring it" with the fashion:

WHITE NIGHTS

You'll catch the actress wearing lots of white before Labor Day, but with good reason – beau Dwyane Wade plays for the Miami Heat! "Whenever you go to a game, it's a white-out – everyone wears white outfits," she says (here sporting Elie Tahari to an L.A. event). "I've gotten really creative with white. And if you don't go too tight, it looks good on most people!"

HOOP DREAMS

The Neutrogena spokeswoman confesses to a major hoop earrings addiction. "I live in hoops: classic, funky, high end. I've never seen a hoop that didn't agree with me," she gushes. That doesn't mean she's shelling out for her huge collection, though: "I love going to Cost Plus, it's so easy to grab a bunch. Funky ones, ones with splashes of color, all-purpose ones. They're like $4.95!"

CAMPAIGN PLATFORM

"The platform stiletto is a girl's best friend," she says of her go-to shoe. "It's sexy but not painful. You can really get your strut on without your feet being tortured!"

JUMP AROUND

The statuesque beauty makes pulling off a potentially tricky jumpsuit look easy, but she's got a behind-the-scenes secret: "My tip when getting a jumpsuit is to get a size bigger," she shares. "Nothing looks worse than when it's stretching across your hips and butt. A bigger size can actually make you look smaller!"

NO PAIN, NO GAIN

Who needs a stylist when you've got Dwyane Wade to help dress you? "My honey is into fashion, and he told me to bring it. When I walked out of the closet, he said 'Wow!'" she says of this Mandalay dress, worn to a LeBron James-hosted bash. "That was a night I suffered for beauty. I got wobbly in those shoes, but they looked great in the picture!"


BLING IT ON

"My rule for sparkle is that there's no such thing as too sparkly!" the actress says of ultra-glam dresses like this strapless Nicole Miller mini – though she adds that it's best to play down the rest of the look.

ARM CANDY

The actress, who says she gets fit à deux with Wade, is proudest of her toned triceps. "My favorite feature is my arms – I work hard for them!" she says. "I've never met a tank top I don't like!"

BEACH ESSENTIALS

The star’s vacation checklist is incredibly simple: "When I go on vacation, I pack sunblock, maxidresses, lots of bikinis and a cowboy hat."

JEAN-IUS

Of her favorite pair of jeans, DL1961's "Nicole" ultra skinny, she gushes, "It says four-way stretch and really means it. For girls who like to eat every now and again, girls with butts and thighs, they're amazing!" Her pals love the style too: "They really are like the 'Traveling Pants'; my friends borrow my jeans and they literally look good on everyone – on all different bodies!"

SAVING GRACE

"I like to mix high-end, designer things with funkier, less expensive pieces," she says of her signature style. "I go to Cost Plus and Target and get hoops or power cuffs. There are lots of great pieces you can have fun with. I call it 'balling on a budget'!"

 

Interesting.

It's almost here! Britney Spears launches her Femme Fatale tour on Thursday, and her team has given fans a sneak peek of the looks she'll be showing off onstage.

Costume designer Zaldy Goco spoke to "Extra" about Spears' glittering, sexy outfits for the tour, which kicks off in Sacramento, California, with equally sexy opening act Nicki Minaj. "Well, I mean the real inspiration, of course, is Britney herself. But there's a creative script done by the director, Jamie King, and it's a whole thing about the femme fatale and femme fatales throughout the ages, so we have all kinds of costumes where she's changing personas throughout the show," he shared. "Everything is very sexy; Britney's a very sexy girl."

The looks he shared include lots of sparkles and body-hugging designs, that include a pink latex jacket paired with a nude bodysuit to be featured in the second act of the show, a Marilyn Monroe-inspired white flowing dress, a few gladiator-inspired gold-mirrored options, pink-chrome-studded leather and denim, as well as a "Toxic"-inspired catsuit.

For the finale, she wears a kimono, with an anime version of herself silkscreened on one sleeve, over a sparkling, black bodysuit that has LED lights built into it. Previously teased was a giant pair of angel wings that Spears will also wear at some point during the show.

For those wondering what Spears looks like in the costumes, fansite BreatheHeavy.com got sent some snaps of the singer rocking some of the looks, including the kimono, the studded denim and a gold-mirrored bikini.
