Britney Spears stars as animated superhero

Pop star Britney Spears released a music video yesterday that features the singer as an animated superhero in a futuristic world.

The video was to premiere on BlackoutBall.com at 6:30 p.m. to accompany her latest single, "Break The Ice" – the third from her 2007 album Blackout.

The release of the video, along with an upcoming acting role on How I Met Your Mother, marks something of a comeback for Spears, 26, whose career has been sidelined by psychiatric problems and bitter child-custody battles.

Spears's record company said the video was made in South Korea in Japanese anime style. Last year, Spears released two singles from Blackout. It has sold more than two million copies worldwide, which pales in comparison to her heyday six years ago.

In other Britney news, a lawyer who claims to represent her has filed an appeal challenging the conservatorship that gave Spears's father control of her personal and business affairs. The document states that Spears was not given the minimum five-day notice required by California law when control is sought over a person's assets or estate.
