Despite Whitney Houston's death just hours before her mentor Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy celebration -- in the very same hotel where the singer's body was found -- the party went on as planned.

Celebs came out for what was supposed to be one of the best parties of the year, but the evening turned into a memorial for host Davis' most successful recording act ever -- Whitney Houston.

Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian were on hand, along with Alicia Keys, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Hudson, Diana Ross, Brandy, Mary J. Blige and others, to remember the life of the 48-year-old superstar.

Davis led a moment of silence a the beginning of the evening and a source inside the party tells us: "The mood was somber. No one was 'celebrating' -- the evening became a tribute to Whitney Houston. Guests were hugging and crying."

Rocking a newly slimmed-down figure in preparation for her wedding to Jason Trawick, Britney Spears looked like a sexy soccer mom in a pink polo tee as she escorted sons Sean Preston and Jayden James to their sports practice in Calabasas, on Thursday.

According to a leaked album jacket for Madonna's upcoming album, MDNA, it appears Miss Spears is making an appearance on the album's lead track, "Girls Gone Wild."

The sexy duo stole the show at the 2003 VMAs when they shared a steamy onstage kiss while performing together, but don't expect Madonna to plant a smooch on Spears at this year's VMAs!

When asked by ABC News is she would kiss the pop princess again, Madge confessed, "No, I already did it. I don't like to repeat myself."

Attention Modern Family producers ... Britney Spears wants to be on your show!

The 30-year-old pop star responded to a fan who told Brit she should "find a way" to be on the hit ABC show. Britney Tweeted, "Ahhhh I would love to be on it!" Just days ago, the mama of two wrote, “I know everybody is excited about the Super Bowl, but I personally can’t wait to see the next episode of Modern Family! Funniest show on TV.”

And it seems like there's a very good possibility that this could happen, as a source close to the starlet tells X17online exclusively, "ABC is just as excited about the idea as Britney's fans." Hopefully there will be an announcement about this soon -- we've love to see the pop princess back on the small screen!

This wouldn't be Brit's first cameo on a primetime hit show. Back in 2008, the singer appeared on an episode of How I Met Your Mother.

Madonna is gearing up to rock the half time Super Bowl show, but in the process the Material Girl is complimenting Britney Spears using some choice words.

During an interview with The Advocate, Madonna was asked if Lady Gaga connects with her gay fans the same way she does. Madge tells the mag:

"It seems genuine. It seems natural, and I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm."

But then when talking about Gaga, Madonna turns the subject to Ms. Spears. She adds:

I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick s**thouse. She seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men.”

Nice choice of words, Madge!

Speaking of Britney, seems as though the pop tart has game ... literally. Brit Tweeted:

"So excited to announce that I'll be working with #Hasbro on their new game called Twister Dance. You guys are going to love it!

Let the games and funky dance moves begin.

Britney Spears, who got engaged to Jason Trawick at the end of last year, will be walking down the aisle on Valentine's Day, according to various online reports.

The 30-year-old pop star and Trawick, 40, will reportedly say 'I do' in Maui.

In addition to becoming Jason's wifey, Brit may also be put back in charge of her own finances. For the past four years, Brit's dad Jamie, has been the conservator over her estate. The Sunday Express claims:

"Jamie wants to go to court in early February so Britney will be a free woman in every sense when she marries."

Great to see our girl moving in the right direction ... both personally and professionally!

Britney Spears is a happily engaged woman!

Jason Trawick proposed to the 30-year-old pop star last month, and Brit is absolutely lovin' her new engagement ring bling. The smiling beauty posted the above photo and Tweeted: "I can't stop looking at it!!"

We can't stop looking at how gorgeous our girl looks in her form-fitting blue sweater. Meow!

Spears and Trawick have been together since 2009.

After learning that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick were engaged, the pop star's former husband Jason Alexander is speaking out and calling the whole thing a sham!

Spears and Alexander were married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas back in 2004, but their union was annulled less than 55 hours later. While Alexander was one of Spears' childhood friends, the two have been on rocky terms for quite some time now.

While Spears' other ex-husband, Kevin Federline, told Australia's TV Week that he was thrilled for the couple, Alexander doesn't share the same sentiment. "I know everyone wants me to be happy about this, but I am not," Alexander told Us Weekly. "I think it's fake and I think people are afraid to say it. If you look at all the pictures between them there is no connection. They look like they are going through the motions. It seems like an answer to the court thing. Sort of a nice way to sew it all up she marries her handler. That way she always has someone controlling her. It's sort of sad."

Hmm, do you think Jason has a point?

Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline chatted with TV Week about her engagement to Jason Trawick, and it sounds like he's genuinely thrilled about her announcement. "I'm really happy for her," he told the mag. "I think he's a great guy."

K-Fed added, "She's happy; she's doing really well. I want to say she's in a good place. I haven't spoken to her much since I've been [in Australia], both of us have been busy with her being on tour, but I do know from talking to the kids and talking to the kids' teachers that they're doing really good ... It's a good step in the right direction. I'm totally happy for her."

Kevin also spoke glowingly about Jason, saying, "He's a really good guy, I've heard a lot about him. I've spoken to him quite a few times as of now. He seems like a really good guy. The kids speak highly of him [and] her family loves him."

Though Kevin and Britney's two-year marriage ended in 2006, they have stayed on relatively good terms for the sake of their two sons, Sean Preston, 6, and Jayden James, 5.

Kevin also spoke about Britney's meltdown in 2007, telling the mag, "It was tough. [They were] just very, very, very dramatic times. I had to do what I had to do for the safety of our children. But at the same time, it tears my heart to pieces to watch your ex go through that, let alone watch anybody go through that. It's horrible. It was a completely dramatic, depressing stage of my life that I'm so glad I'm over and get to leave behind. It was tough."
