Britney Spears brings The Fat Jew onstage for ‘Freakshow’ at Axis

It certainly wasn’t kosher, but it was a lot of fun!

During pop princess Britney Spears’ “Freakshow” segment of her residency show “Britney: Piece of Me” at Axis at Planet Hollywood over the weekend, social media phenomenon Josh “The Fat Jew” Ostrovsky was pulled from the audience to join her onstage.

He put on a vest showing off his trademark tummy, then crawled on all fours attached to a purple leash pulled by Britney. There were some four-letter words uttered by Britney as the Instagram comedy star with his wild hair waved his arms and showed off off-kilter dance moves.

Britney, in a red leather S&M-themed outfit, complimented him on his bizarre dance style and gave him an autographed purple T-shirt.

Meantime, Britney not only surprised a class of dance students at Fern Adair Conservatory for the Arts here in Las Vegas when she guest taught a choreographed routine to the music of Pharrell Williams’ hit “Happy,” but she also promised to return for a second hourlong class in the future.

“They were stunned,” said studio owner Fern. Britney posted several photographs of her leading the class and posing with the students on her Instagram, saying, “This was my favorite class.”

In another Instagram posting, Britney showed photographs of her 10-year-old son Sean Preston, who won an award for being “Best Encourager” at his California school. One featured Sean wearing a gray, print skateboard hoodie grinning as he clutched his trophy.

Jane the Virgin Costume Designer Rachel Sage Kunin Takes Us Behind-the-Scenes Of Last Night’s Britney Spears Episode

Last night, the endlessly impressive Jane the Virgin writers pulled off one of the more difficult moves in television—effectively incorporating a super-famous guest star. Britney Spears‘ visit to the Marbella was pitch-perfect, featuring both a fun dream-sequence dance number with Gina Rodriguez and a *hilarious* feud between her and Rogelio. They didn’t hold back on the Britney puns (“The situation had become toxic. This circus couldn’t go on. It was time to get to work, bitch.”) but they also did not hold back the story.

Britney fit flawlessly into the JTV world in every way, including of course, her fabulously over-the-top outfits. Don’t try to shop for them though—three out of four of Britney’s looks last night were custom designed and created by Jane the Virgin Costume Designer Rachel Sage Kunin. I caught up with her to ask about the Britney episode, dressing the Villanueva women, and Rachel’s own path to success (which happens to working on the infamous Lindsay Lohan Lifetime disaster, I Know Who Killed Me).

KM: I know Britney is a big fan of the show, so did she (or her team) come in with some ideas about what her style should be within the Jane the Virgin world?

RSK: I showed Britney and her team my sketches and they loved everything from the get go. Once we got into the fitting room together we had fun collaborating on the finishing touches.

The True Meaning of Britney Spears' 'Hit Me Baby, One More Time' Has Finally Been Revealed

It's been 17 years since Britney Spears broke onto the pop scene with her smash "Baby One More Time" and finally we get to know what the song's hook "Hit me baby, one more time" actually means. 

Turns out, it's not any form of physical abuse or kinky S&M or even a metaphor relating to those -- it's all one big misunderstanding. 

As Huffington Post points out, in John Seabrook's new book of pop music history,The Song Machine, he explains that the track's Swedish writers Max Martin and Rami Yacoub believed that "hit" was American slang for "call." And so the song about the heartache of a recent breakup turned to a hit with the public perhaps a bit confused but none the wiser. 

The song had originally been called "Hit Me Baby (One More Time)" but Spear's label Jive Records felt a bit uncomfortable about the suggestion of abuse and removed "Hit Me" from the title. 

Coincidentally, earlier this week another teenybopper mystery of that era was solved in another Huffington Post interview with *NSYNC's Joey Fatone explaining how the seminal boy band got the star in its name. Turns out it was at the suggestion of Israeli illusionist Uri Geller sparked from his interest in the power of symbolism. 

"We sat down and I wrote, on a napkin, NSYNC, and I drew a star in the cafe [in London's Covent Garden]." Geller said, "And I told them, if they place that star on their first CD, they're going to shoot up to No. 1." (Their debut wound up hitting No. 2 on the Billboard 200, but we'll call it close enough.)

Seems the only other mystery left is which backstreet that other boy band came from.
