Although Britney Spears' next album isn't set for release until March, her fans can start gearing up for new music now.

According to a Spears fansite, BreatheHeavy.com, a notice about auditions for a new Britney video was sent out by her camp.

Tryouts will reportedly be held on Wednesday (December 22), and Spears is looking for male and female dancers to join her in the video for the single, which is set for a January release, according to the notice. "Hold It Against Me" is rumored to be the title of the song, though no details regarding the single or video have been confirmed.

"The dates for the project are still to be determined but it will be happening on either the 9th and 10th of January with rehearsals anytime after Xmas and leading up to those dates or on the 15th and 16th with rehearsals leading in after Xmas as well," the notice reads. "He is looking for men and women with fabulous bodies and faces. They must be versatile. This is not for the tour at this time or even promo. It is just for the video."

Spears' choreographer, Brian Freidman, hinted about the auditions on his Twitter. He has worked with the singer on videos for "Toxic" and "Me Against the Music." "Countdown... 2 days till that very special audition I am holding in LA. Very exciting!!!" he wrote on Monday.

Rupert Everett Slams Jennifer Aniston's Career

In a recent BBC Radio 4 interview, actor Rupert Everett (My Best Friend's Wedding) had some harsh words of criticism about Hollywood and how it treats men and women. The 51-year-old also had some pretty unkind things to say about Jennifer Aniston regarding her career.

Everett dished on the early-morning news radio show Today about why he thinks the entertainment industry is a "heterosexual business." He says that after coming out he never found work in the U.K. or the U.S. and that while "it would have been too complicated for me to tell the lie" he supports that other actors choose stay in the closet (something he has encouraged in the past).

He also argued that Hollywood is run "mostly by heterosexual men" and referred to there being "a pecking order." He says, "I think the position of women is a pretty difficult one in show business. If you look at the idea of a drunk woman in show business on the skids at the age of 50, and a drunken man in show business on the skids, the drunken man gets an awful amount of support, and the woman is a slut."

While it sounds like Everett is defending gays and women in the industry, it seems as though there's one famous actress he's not terribly fond of: Jennifer Aniston.

After stating that "there are lots of women and lots of men in the business that the powers that be decide are the right people and they'll stand with them for quite a long time," he uses the 41-year-old actress as an example.

"Like Jennifer Aniston will just have one too many total flops," he says, adding, "But she's still a member of that club. And she will still manage to -- like a star forming in the universe -- a whole lot of things swirling around and suddenly solidifying into yet another vital tasteless rom-com: a little glitter next to the Crab Nebula."

Ashley Greene & Joe Jonas: Premier Partiers

Getting an early start to the weekend New Year's celebrations, Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas were spotted out clubbing in Hollywood on Thursday night (December 30).

The cute couple ventured over to Premier Nightclub, as they joined fellow revelers including Rachel Leigh Cook for an evening of drinks and conversation at the popular Tinseltown night spot.

The sighting comes as Ashley and Joe stirred up engagement rumors upon arriving to LAX Airport earlier in the week due to Miss Greene's ring finger jewelry.

Denying any such sudden commitment, the pair have since squashed marital rumors - as the two are still acclimating to their new romance.
