Spears is back in the studio making music with Elton John and it will be a brand-new recording of John's 1971 song "Tiny Dancer," which gained popularity after appearing in Cameron Crowe's 2000 film "Almost Famous." While that's great news, how about her most anticipated memoir?
Per reports, Spears met with John last week in a Beverly Hills recording studio to create a new version of the song, which will be released by Universal Music the following month. Reportedly, Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who has collaborated with Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Pearl Jam, and Ozzy Osbourne, would oversee the session.
While there are no set dates for the release, it may occur before her projected memoir.
According to TMZ, Britney Spears has purportedly completed what promises to be a bombshell of a celebrity biography, but the book's release date will be delayed owing to a nationwide crisis: scarcity of paper.
Page Six exclusively reported in February that the Princess of Pop had secured a $15 million book deal with Simon & Schuster, which reportedly won the contract after a months-long bidding battle among publishing firms for the rights to Spears' autobiography.

The 40-year-old "Dear Diary" singer, however, won't be able to share her life story with the public for some time due to widespread manufacturing disruptions that have caused a severe "paper crisis" in the book publishing sector/
"I've been doing this for 25 years and I've never seen a market like this before," said Midland Paper Vice President Bill Rojack at an even hosted by Publisher's Weekly. He went on to explain that, although demand from publishing houses for book-quality paper has been on the rise, elsewhere it has fallen by 50% in "recent years." In response, industrial paper mills have pivoted to cater to stronger markets such as corrugated cardboard and other packaging material.
"This is more than a market cycle," Rojack continued. "It is a structural transformational sea change that happened so much faster than anybody expected because of Covid."
Notably, this change did not prevent Simon & Schuster from releasing "The Official Britney Spears Coloring Book," which was released in November 2021 by independent publisher Ulysses Press.
Since he legally imposed a conservatorship over the "Toxic" singer in 2008, there has been a resurgence of interest in everything Spears, particularly among millennials who were among her most ardent fans in the 2000s. The subsequent response against the reality of Spears' predicament undoubtedly helped to the judge's decision to terminate the conservatorship in November of last year.
