Watch Britney Spears Pull Colton Haynes Onstage in Vegas
On Wednesday, Arrow and former Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes was the latest Britney Spears' latest celebrity to pull onstage during her Pieces of Me Las Vegas residency show for her sexy "Freakshow" performance, only she didn't realize it.
Spears routinely pulls someone from the audience to get freaky for "Freakshow" (such as Tyson Beckford, Nicole Richie and Mario Lopez, among others, before) but unknowingly recruited Haynes for the gig, strapping him into a leather harness for Spear's burlesque-style dance routine.
Afterwards, Spears complimented her partner, saying, "That was so much fun, oh my God! Thank you for coming up here and dancing with us. What's your name? Colton? Give it up for Colton everyone! You're an amazing dancer, oh my goodness."
And while he might have not been recognized for his TV roles, his butt got some attention from the pop superstar. "Wow, call me anytime," she went on. "Everyone's so beautiful -- and his ass!"
Understandably, Haynes was pretty excited afterwards.

Eminem mocks Madonna in video
The rapper dresses up in drag - complete with blonde ponytail, full make-up and a conical bra - to look like the Queen of Pop during her Blonde Ambition tour.
In the video, for new single Just Lose It, Eminem struts around the stage in the raunchy pink corset reports Femalefirst.
But he accidentally gets too close to a flaming candelabra - and sets one of his pointy boobs on fire.
A source revealed: "Eminem is really getting into sex and gender issues." Madonna is the latest pop star to be mocked by the cheeky rap star - he has previously poked fun at , Moby and NSYNC in his videos.
Eminem also strips off in the latest video.
The singer, who caused controversy at this year's MTV Movie Awards when he bared his bottom, is seen running through the streets of Los Angeles naked - with nothing but a sock to protect his modesty.
Onlookers recently claimed Eminem - real name Marshall Mathers III - may have had an all-over body wax, as his body looks extremely smooth.
The single is the first to be released from his fourth album, Encore. Source: Ananova

Britney not legally married - yet
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are not legally married - yet.
The couple have said they have yet to send off their marriage licence - and until they do they are not man and wife according to Californian law.
The Sun says the US Weekly magazine claims the wedding was in fact a hoax and has a four-page document to prove it.
The magazine says the document states: "Britney Spears and Kevin Federline agree that they intend to participate in a 'faux' wedding with one another on September 18, 2004. However, they do not intend to and shall not validly marry one another on said date."
It's also reported the event may have been a smokescreen for their real wedding which has yet to happen.
Spears and Federline have admitted they are not officially married. Some sources said the delay in sending off the licence was due to drawing up a pre-nuptial agreement protecting Spears' Ј30million fortune from Federline.
Spears herself has said: "No pieces of paper can capture what I feel. I know we're not completely legal until we file the licence, which we will do next week, but in a spiritual sense, we're married."
Federline added: "We'll file our licence next week. We were advised to wait a certain grace period. More importantly, this was such a spiritual connection for us."
They have until Tuesday to get the paper to the US version of a register office. They should then be sent a permanent licence with an official seal.
The couple also revealed Spears' white dress cost Ј14,000, how both blubbed through the "awesome" ceremony - and how she dropped his wedding ring.
They also said they spent their last night before the wedding listening to Phil Collins' Greatest Hits album. Source: Ananova

Christina says Brit's wedding is 'pathetic'
Christina Aguilera has branded Britney Spears' wedding "low-rent and pathetic."
The 23-year-old star burst out laughing when she was told details of her pop rival's marriage ceremony.
Britney, 22, married dancer Kevin Federline, 26, in a secret Kabbalah ceremony at the weekend.
Christian described the wedding as "hilarious."
She added: "I'd never have thought that girl would have done it this way. I know she really loves Kevin, but this is like really low rent this time.
"It's surprising. The whole affair seems somewhat pathetic."
There have been claims that the marriage may not be all it seems.
Friends claimed Britney's mum Lynne stopped the wedding from being completely legal after Britney refused to sign a pre-nup.
A source said: "Britney may find that the priest did not have the authority to conduct weddings. So although they have had the ceremony, it's in name only to protect her million dollar finances in case it all goes wrong." Source: Ananova

Britney's spat-out gum up for sale
An internet auction site was forced to withdraw a lump of Britney Spears' chewing gum following boasts it contained her DNA.

Britney to release Bobby Brown song
Britney Spears' next single will be My Prerogative, a version of Bobby Brown's 1988 hit.

Since injuring her knee while filming her Outrageous video, Britney has cancelled a 35-date second North American leg of her Onyx Tour and an appearance at the Teen Choice Awards in California.
Some commentators have suggested Britney's decision to cover My Prerogative is a swipe at the media intrusion into her private life especially her decision to marry dancer Kevin Federline.
The song goes, "Everybody's talking all this stuff about me, Why don't they just let me live, I don't need commission, Make my own decisions, That's my prerogative."
My Prerogative will be one of two new tracks on Britney's hits collection, according to MTV. A separate greatest hits DVD is also due for release.

Britney Spears London
Britney Spears opened her European tour in London last night, and LAUNCH was there to witness a provocative, pyrotechnic-fuelled performance of huge proportions.
The Princess of Pop, performing the Onyx Hotel Tour outside of North America for the first time, was joined onstage by a troupe of dancers and a full band, with a theatrical ringleader directing proceedings.
Spears, performing to a sold-out 12,000 crowd, made only minor references to her high-profile recent history, which saw her infamously married for a few short hours to a school friend.
The show concentrated on Britney's three albums so far, seeing stadium-sized takes on the recent UK number one "Toxic", "Me Against The Music" and forthcoming single "Everytime".
The highly choreographed concert, which took on the shape of a cross between 'Moulin Rouge' and a fairly lewd interpretation of the 80s TV show 'Fame', also saw dramatically reworked versions of "…Baby One More Time" and "Oops I Did It Again".
Spears, whose energetic display was balanced against a predominantly mimed routine, was involved in a string of costume changes, culminating in her writhing on a bed with a dancer whilst wearing a sparkling body stocking.
Check-out LAUNCH later this week for a full review and pictures from the show.
The full set-list was as follows:
Toxic
Overprotected
Boys
Showdown
Baby One More Time
Oops I Did It Again
Crazy
Everytime
The Hook Up
I'm A Slave For You
Shadow
Touch Of My Hand
Breathe On Me
Outrageous

Britney pips Kylie after catfight
A battle between pop princesses has ended with Britney Spears sweeping to the top of the singles charts, leaving Kylie Minogue trailing.

Britney last topped the chart in May 2000 with Oops!... I Did It Again.
Her victory was all the sweeter after Kylie, 35, took a swipe at the 22-year-old American's risque videos.
"I'm no prude. But I'm not going to those lengths," Kylie said. "I've always been on the right side of the line." Source: Ananova
