Spears tweeted, "Day 2 is a wrap! #HIAM video coming soon.... – Britney."
Another pop star that's made major news this week is Rihanna, whose video for her "S & M" single has been banned in 11 countries since its premiere February 1.

If ever there were a crown for "King of Funk-Rock," Lenny Kravitz would be the one to wear it.
