I keep checking out various “best of 2009″ lists (one of my favorite things in a new year is to reflect on the best stuff of the year before) and Britney Spears keeps showing up on most of them!

Most recently I learned that as far as tours go, Britney’s Circus tour was ranked 4th in the top 20 tours of 2009. As far as numbers go, the tour is said to have pulled in a whopping $82.5 million. Wow!
The Circus tour is in good company, ranking alongside U2 and Bruce Springsteen. She also beat out the popular …read more

Britney Spears was seen at the airport in Los Angeles Monday night, looking a little bit tired as she passed through security and got ready to board a flight.

She could have been going anywhere but Britney posted to Twitter, saying:
Jumping on V Australia. This plane is awesome! I’ll be down under tomorrow. Can’t wait! -Britney
Time goes so fast! We’ve been able to see Britney relaxing with her sons and Jason Trawick, just enjoying herself, and it’s hard to believe it’s already time for her to resume her Circus tour!

I hope Australia is ready for Britney’s show, they’re …read more

It was recently announced that American Idol’s season six winner Jordin Sparks will open for Britney Spears when she resumes her Circus tour on its second North American run.

Jordin won’t be following the full tour; her participation will run up until September 27th.
I like Jordin, she has a great voice. What do you think of her joining in on Britney’s tour?

Okay, I think it’s abundantly clear that Britney Spears’ Circus tour is doing very well. Not only did she have a successful run in the U.S. and Canada, she’s not got her European leg of the tour underway, AND she just announced that she will be going to Australia as well.

However, Britney’s Circus is so popular and so heavily in demand that today (June 10th), Britney officially announced that she will bring Circus back to North America for an extended tour! Check it out and see if you’re lucky enough to live near one of the cities on …read more

Heads’ up Aussie Britney Spears fans! According to TMZ, Britney’s conservatorship headed to the courts – again, racking up more legal fees – to see about the possibility of taking the Circus tour to Australia!
They’re also hoping to expand the tour to some parts of Europe, although there is nothing official as to which countries would be included. Right now, as things stand, Circus has been circulating through the U.S. and Canada, with a few future dates in London. I guess this means that Britney’s concert is doing extremely well, otherwise they wouldn’t bother.
No decision was reached …read more

Remember when Britney Spears joined Madonna on stage during Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour?
According to In Touch Weekly, it looks like the favor may be returned because word is out that Madonna may make an appearance during Britney’s tour as well! The rumor is that Madonna will join Brit on stage at some point during her March 23rd show in New York City. According to Britney’s stylist the act will be a mash-up of “Get Together” and “Trouble”.
Madonna was spotted at Britney’s show in New York earlier in the tour as well.

All work and no play could make Britney Spears a very dull girl – so despite the fact that she’s been working her butt off onstage throughout the first leg of her tour, she’s also making sure that she makes time for a bit of relaxation and a lot of fun.

It sounds like Britney …read more

I assumed that some people would be posting some video clips of Britney Spears performing live from New Orleans and luckily I was right! For those of us who can’t wait any longer to see Britney on her Circus tour here’s the opening number:

The video opens with some extra footage, things like the advertisement outside the arena and people inside waiting in line, but after the first minute or so it gets into the concert itself and the quality is surprisingly good considering the thousands of screaming fans who were there.
It shows clips from “Circus” and “Piece of Me”, …read more
