BritneySpears.com has been updated with a new gallery of photos taken during tour rehearsals for Britney Spears‘s upcoming concert tour The Circus starring Britney Spears. Previously, the site had released dance rehearsal photos taken in dance studios but these are the first photos that show Britney and her dancers rehearsing with actual stage props that will be seen on the tour … check ‘em out:

Here is your first sneak peek at The Circus Starring Britney Spears, taken at tour rehearsal on Monday night. In this gallery, you can see Britney working with contributing choreographer JaQuel Knight as well as Jose, the Womanizer from the European tour. Britney (and her abs — damn!) is wearing Lisa Kline J’aime Drawsting Pants which benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation. Sadly, they don’t make these pants anymore, but there is a lot of cute Pink Ribbon Gear on the Komen Foundation site if you want to get Britney’s look and support Breast Cancer research.

So now we know what has been keepin’ Brit Brit bizzy in recent weeks … except for her emergence earlier this week, Britney has stayed relatively out of sight, most likely, because of all the work she’s been doing on her tour rehearsals. Is anyone really surprised that there is a stripper pole of sorts featured in the staging of her new tour? It hearkens back to the Gimme More music video, no? Seeing these photos is really exciting … and drives home the fact that her new tour starts up in just two months! While I am very anxious to see her live on stage, I really hope she is able to get all the prep done in time for the big tour launch. Will she be ready? I really, really hope so.
