Britney Spears Lands In Kentwood Before Hittin’ The Road

The calm before the 'Circus'
Saturday, February 28th, 2009

Yesterday we saw a few photos of Britney Spears spending some quiet, alonetime with her sons Sean Preson and Jayden James at their home in SoCal before they all packed their bags and boarded a plane for Kentwood, LA. Britney and her crew, including Papa Jamie Spears and her still assistant Brett Miller, arrived in Kentwood late yesterday afternoon where they were met by members of the Spears clan, including Mama Lynne Spears and big brother Bryan Spears … here are a few photos:


Britney Spears is on the road again. The singer flew from Los Angeles to McComb, Miss. on Friday in anticipation of kicking off her Circus tour on Tuesday, March 3 in New Orleans. Spears, 27, arrived in at the airport – about 15 miles from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana – looking fit and pretty in a red top and black skirt. She was accompanied by an entourage of about a dozen people, including her two sons Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, and her brother. The singer was met by her parents Lynne and Jamie Spears, who greeted Britney with a kiss on her forehead. According to a twitter posting on the singer’s Web site, she wrote that her status as of Friday afternoon was: “On my way to Kentwood … Five days left! So excited.” The tour is the last major step in Spears’s comeback, which she started last fall. “She looks great, she’s working out three or four hours a day,” a source close to the family tells PEOPLE. “Everybody’s pulling for her after all she’s been through.”

This pit stop is the last for Britney before she officially kicks off her tour The Circus starring Britney Spears in New Orleans, LA next Tuesday. I imagine that Brit Brit will be recharging her batteries at home with her family for the next few days as final preparations for her tour continue to unfold. It must be a terribly exciting time for Britney right now … she’s been away from the performance stage for quite some time now. I’m trying not to have too grand expectations about her new tour. While I’m sure it’ll be a fun spectacle, I’m not really going into seeing it with any sort of expectations. I know it’ll rock … I just hope she’s ready. It won’t be long until we find out just how ready she really is.

Britney Spears Returns Home From Japan

She must really love that jacket
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Britney Spears returned home from Japan earlier today after a quick trip to the far East to do some promo work for her new album Circus. As you may recall, she appeared on a Japanese TV show called Hey!Hey!Hey! and was snapped doing a bit of sight-seeing/shopping around town. Here are pics of Brit as she made her way thru LAX Airport with her father and conservator Jamie Spears, who came out to pick her up personally:


BritneySpears.com reports that tickets sales for her upcoming new tour The Circus starring Britney Spears are going so well that additional dates have been added to the schedule. Connecticut and Ohio have added concert dates, which seems to imply that other dates may get added as well if tickets continue to sell well.

Britney Spears Lights The Xmas Tree At LA Live!

Flip the switch
Friday, December 5th, 2008

Britney Spears, fresh from her trip to NYC where she was on hand to participate in the Xmas tree lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Center which took place on Wednesday night, was on hand here in downtown LA to do the special honor of lighting the Xmas tree at the LA Live! entertainment complex last night. Here are a few pics of Brit Brit at last night’s event, who was joined by her father Jamie Spears and her young sons (wearing adorable matching outfits) Sean Preston and Jayden James:


Topping off a celebratory week that included her 27th birthday and the debut of her new CD Circus, Britney Spears was the surprise guest who lit the tree at Thursday’s launch of L.A. Live! for the premiere performance of Light of the Angels at the Nokia Theater. Sharing the Christmas spirit with her were sons Jayden and Preston and father Jamie – as well as host Adam Carolla and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Asked about her favorite holiday traditions, the pop star said being with family and tree decorating.

You gotta love that the Xmas tree for Los Angeles is a fake one made up completely of pretty lights. While NYC sticks to the old skool tradition of using actual trees, La La Land has to go the fake route … eh, that’s Tinsel Town for ya. Britney looked pretty amazing at last night’s “tree” lighting. She is one hot commodity right now and everyone is dying to get a piece of her (if you will). Ellen DeGeneres announced on her show that she will be “spending time with” Britney Spears “over the weekend” implying that the hanging out time will be taped for airing on her show sometime after. I understand that Britney will be jetting off to Japan very soon to do some promo work for the release of her new album Circus there. She’s bizzy, y’all … but appears to be handling it all very well. Folks have been very receptive and complimentary to her new music video for her titletrack single Circus which is a nice change of pace from some of the negative comments people like to level at her. After the jump, check out video from last night’s tree lighting ceremony in downtown LA including a nice introduction by Adam Carolla and the magic moment when Britney flipped the switch to light the tree …

Britney Spears Prepares For Her ‘GMA’ Performance

Plus mama & papa Spears step out for a night on the town together
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Here are a couple pics of Britney Spears with her father Jamie Spears and various members of her security detail as they made their way into the Big Tent at the Big Apple Circus in Lincoln Center here in NYC late yesterday afternoon:


I understand that Britney was on site last night for quite a few hours putting the finishing touches on her big Good Morning America performance that took place earlier today. After seeing all of the elements that went into this performance, it makes sense that she would want to spend as much time rehearsing as possible.

Later on last night, Britney’s estranged parents — Jamie & Lynne Spears — stepped out together to grab a bite to eat together … alone:


While I’m pretty certain that no hanky-panky exists between this happily divorced couple, I’m glad to see that they are able to remain friendly with one another even after all that has happened between them. I’m sure they are both very happy, very relieved that their daughter is out of harm’s way and is making a true return to form. Who knows, mebbe there will — one day — be a reconciliation between these two … I’m not holding my breath but seeing them enjoy alone time together is a very nice sight indeed.

Britney Spears Brings Her Circus To NYC

Meets up with her sons
Monday, December 1st, 2008

Britney Spears, who just completed a successful yet short European promo tour delivering performances in Germany, France and the UK, has made her way to New York City, NY to round out her promo work here in the Big Apple. Grandpapa Jamie Spears had Britney’s sons Sean Preston and Jayden James flown in from SoCal to be with their mother here in NYC. Here are pics of Britney’s arrival at JFK airport early yesterday morning and of her sons arrival in Newark, NJ later in the day:


After watching Britney Spears: For The Record last night, I think we all know what being in NYC means to Britney … and now that she is able to enjoy the city with her children, she must be in great spirits today. Tomorrow morning, Britney will perform live on Good Morning America in the big tent set up in Lincoln Center at the Big Apple Circus. I understand that Britney is scheduled to perform at least two songs on GMA tomorrow but, beyond that, there is no further info. I suspect we’ll be seeing the same Womanizer routine she’s been performing in Europe over the past few days but I’m hopeful we’ll see an entirely new routine (mebbe for her single Circus) as well. These are exciting days for our dear Britney … not only does she release her new album Circus tomorrow …

… but she will also be turning 27 years old as well. I hope that all her birthday wishes come true this year. Thus far, she appears on the right track to make all her dreams come true again.

After the jump, check out a new preview video for her new music video for Circus

Britney Spears Celebrates Her Birthday At G-A-Y

Celebrate good times
Sunday, November 30th, 2008

After Britney Spears wowed the crowd on the UK’s competitive reality TV program X-Factor last night, she and her cavalcade of dancers made their way to the London nightclub G-A-Y to surprise the attendees with her presence and to get her birthday celebrations off to an early start. Here are a few pics of Britney being presented with a birthday cake at the nightclub last night:


But while Britney and her crew were having a great time celebrating her birthday in the VIP area, the massive number of folks who came out to the club to celebrate with her did not have such a great time. According to messages left on the club’s messageboard, too many people were let into the venue making for a very unsafe environment for many. Here are two messages posted on the G-A-Y messageboard that explain how things went down last night from two individual perspectives (grammatical and spelling errors are the authors’ alone):

Shame on you Today at 04:24 davidcox

That was the worst experience of my life. I can’t believe let that happen. The management should be fired. None of them did anything. They just stood around with a look of panic on their faces. It was so dangerous and they could have been shut down for that. What a joke. All those people passing out. The funny thing was that when I finally got out of the crush there was absolutely no one stopping more people squashing in. Shocking. What the hell was the manager and security doing? When you see a crush like that you stop anymore people going in and making it worse. Shame on you . You’re not at the Astoria anymore where there was loads of space. You need to learn how to cope with a smaller venue. I feel sorry for Britney as everyone will blame her but it’s not her fault. She looked ed off and upset then held up a sign saying “Sorry I’m leaving”.

still in shock Today at 04:39 G-a-y_Disco_King

i’m at home and there is no way i will sleep tonight it was not Britney s fault ..tonight reminded me of that football thing in the 80s when many people was crushed( and killed) it could have been like that as it was getting to the stage when i said to my bf “someone is going to get killed”. I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS HAPPNED LIKE THIS i’m writting to the council as i dont think wat went on tonight can just be left at that. no doubt the papers will also write a story or many on tonight. a joke of the biggest kind. HAS ALOT TO ANSWER FOR just thank god no one was killed tonight.

While some of the messages posted to the board may be a *tad* overdramatic (tho, considering what happened at Wal-Mart here in the US, mebbe they weren’t being overdramatic at all), I think it’s clear that the management did a poor job of policing the space capacity. There are many messages of anger towards Britney herself for “not showing up” to the venue as advertised (even tho it was never advertised that she would be there for sure). Unfortch for those people, they were too bizzy being crushed in other areas of the club that they weren’t even aware that she was there in the first place. The scene sounds ridiculous … I’m not surprised that Britney’s people chose to keep her from going on stage. With that many people crushed into a small place, there’s no telling what would’ve happened once the crowd caught sight of her. All in all, it doesn’t sound like it was a great night for the common folk who came out to G-A-Y last night. At least Britney managed to have a bit of a party with her people in the VIP area, away from the madness below. After the jump, check out video of Britney with her birthday cake inside the club, a photo of Britney and her personal assistant Brett making their escape from the nightclub and a couple pics of Britney and her father Jamie Spears making their way thru Heathrow airport as they left the UK early this morning …
