She's so lucky!
Looks like Britney Spears got an engagement ring that will surely give her several platinum records a run for their money!
After Us Weekly exclusively reported that the pop superstar accepted her beau Jason Trawick's marriage proposal Thursday evening, she debuted her blingy sparkler when they celebrated the news (and Trawick’s 40th birthday) in Las Vegas Friday evening.

"I heard that Jason didn't want a giant stone since he wanted to concentrate on the quality and beauty of a platinum setting," jewelry expert Michael O'Connor told Us of the 3-carat diamond Neil Lane design. "The royal treatment of the ring continues all the way around the finger with platinum set diamonds throughout the entire ring. Only platinum will hold all of that diamond work securely and never fade or change color over time."
The estimated price tag for the 30-year-old's new bauble? A whopping $90,000!

Although they've known each other professionally since 2006, the pop superstar and Trawick, 40, (who’s also her former agent) began dating in 2009.

"This is something they've both wanted for a long time," another insider tells Us of the couple's wedding plans. "It's a way to cement their family [with her sons Sean, 6, and Jayden, 5]. They're both extremely happy and can't wait to become man and wife."

Britney Spears Video Tournament

Voting is now open for MTV News' Britney Spears Tournament: 30 Videos for 30 Years!
It's up to Britney fans and all MTV.com readers to vote in the first round, where we have pitted 30 of Britney's iconic videos against each other bracket-style to battle it out for the highest honor of being named the Best Britney Video Ever, just in time for Spears' 30th birthday December 2.

The first round of voting is open until Tuesday at 11:59 p.m., at which point the 30 videos will be narrowed down to the top 16. You can vote as many times as you wish and campaign as much as you see fit for your favorite videos to move on to the next round of voting.

Will the classic " ... Baby One More Time" go all the way? Or are we still intoxicated by "Toxic"? MTV News correspondents will weigh in with their picks, alongside celebrities and Britney experts alike.

Since 30 videos is an unusual number to balance a tournament bracket, we have automatically pushed forward two of Britney's VMA-winning videos videos — "Piece of Me" and "Till the World Ends" — to the second round, where they will no longer be safe from elimination.

Don't forget about the lesser-known videos that may not have received much airtime, including "My Prerogative" and "Do Somethin'," since there's something unique about each clip. Make your votes count — and remember, you are voting for your favorite videos, not songs!
Voting for round two begins at 7 a.m. Wednesday and will last all the way through Thanksgiving weekend, closing Sunday at 11:59 p.m.
As of Monday, November 28, we will begin with eight videos, then four, then two, until we announce the winner Friday, December 2 — Britney's actual 30th birthday!
Start voting and keep up with us at MTVNews.com through December to see which clip reigns victorious.

Britney Spears Recruits A Backstreet Boy For Tour

Nineties pop fans rejoice! has recruited the Howie Dorough to open for a string of South American dates on her Femme Fatale Tour. The gigs will coincide with the release of his first-ever solo album, Back to Me, out November 15.

"I'm so excited that I'm going [to be] joining @britneyspears on several dates of the Femme Fatale tour!" Dorough tweetedon Monday."Can't wait to see all my lovelies in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela!! VIP info will be coming next week."

According to Dorough's site(and as he also tweeted), the Backstreet Boy's initial stint on Britney's tour will kick off on November 20 in La Plata, Argentina, with stops in Santiago, Lima and Bogota before it wraps up in Caracas, Venezuela, on November 28. He's just the latest supporting act to join the worldwide Femme Fatale trek, stepping in the spot once occupied by artists like Joe Jonas, Nicki Minaj and DJ Pauly D.

And when Dorough spoke to MTV News over the summer about his first solo recording, he said it felt good to finally get the chance to show fans a new side of himself as an artist. "I finally have been able to put [my album] together and I'm excited and very, very proud to be able to make this body of work," he told us. "I feel [it's] a total representation of where I'm at right now in my life and [it represents] things that are going on, positive-ness and energy. I think it's really a chance for people to hear me and know my voice."

That's not all, Howie D fans. Next year, Dorough will hit the road again withNKOTBSB — yes, New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys — for a European tour that kicks off in April.

"It's awesome," Dorough told MTV News of touring with NKOTBSB. "It all kind of spun from that show at Radio City [Music Hall]. I think we did something that was a shock factor for people. I don't think a lot of people would have thought the two of us being onstage together would have been fathomable.
