Britney Spears’s Comeback Inspires A New Wax Statue
Britney Spears, in her newest incarnation as a pop superstar, is being honored again at Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London with a brand new wax statue unveiled in her fabulous likeness. Madam Tussaud’s first immortalized Britney in her Dream Within A Dream Tour garb (particularly, her I’m A Slave 4 U costume) and has decided that Comeback Britney is due another wax tribute. Here is a pic of the new wax statue flanked by a bevy of other “Britney“s … can you spot the wax one?
The attraction already has several Spears waxworks at its museums across the world but wanted a glamorous new model to depict the pop star’s return to form. The statue, which was unveiled in London this morning, shows the 27-year-old singer in a sparkly silver dress with plunging neckline, holding one of the three MTV Video Music Awards she won in September. “We are delighted to be featuring Britney at Madame Tussauds London for the second time,” said the venue’s Liz Edwards. “Her original figure captured a provocative pose from her 2001 Dream Within A Dream Tour and was extremely popular. However, she’s undergone a huge transformation since then and we wanted to reflect her as she is now.” The broad smile and long blond hair are a far cry from images of Spears in 2007, when she was filmed shaving her head in a salon window during a high-profile breakdown. But the former Disney child star has rebuilt her career and her world tour is due to hit the UK this summer at London’s 02 Arena. She recently released her sixth studio album Circus, a follow-up to her album Blackout which was popular with the critics despite expectations due to her well-documented personal troubles. Spears is one of the top-selling artists of the last decade and has sold more than 62 million albums worldwide. To celebrate her latest wax incarnation, Madame Tussauds has launched an interactive dance experience. The Britney Dance Chain will allow visitors to learn some of Spears’ best moves, enter a “dance tunnel” and strut their stuff on camera.
Yay! With all the amazing, hard work that Britney has accomplished this year thus far … I think a new wax statue in honor of her achievements is absolutely in order. I mean, what sort of parameters are in place for such an honor to get bestowed on a person? This sounds as good as any. After the jump, check out a few close-up photos of this new wax Britney statue and check out the amazing detail that was put into the likeness …
Yeah, this statue looks pretty great. The only thing they got wrong is the MTV Video Music Award. Last September, she won 3 MTV Moonmen VMAs (seen HERE), not the springy UK MTV award trophy featured here. But, the likeness is pretty spot on. She looks great … and another feather in our dear Britney’s cap.

Notice the blotch of fake tanner on the chest.. while the arms and legs remain pale… BUT – it IS a really good wax sculpture. It’s WAY better than the gold one, of her pregnant and doggystyle!!

lmfao @ PixieBassline – you meanie! so funny, though. Also, the legs are extremely white compared to the upper body but overall it is quite good.
