Ain’t these little guys just the dickens? They are so cute … and the picture is even more adorable when one or the other of them is being carrying in Jason Trawick’s loving arms. I’m happy to see that the little guys made the flight over to Australia without incident … I bet they were very excited to see their mom and their mom to see them. There are a batch of SUPERCUTE pics of Britney’s reunion with her boys at her Aussie hotel shortly after these pics were snapped. I’ll have those pics to share a little later on today. Stay tuned!!

As you can see, Brit was accompanied by her assistant Brett Miller and her manager Larry Rudolph … also, you can see that the lucky fans not only won a pair of tickets to last night’s show but they also each won a bottle of Britney’s newest fragrance Circus Fantasy by Britney Spears — isn’t that exciting? After the jump, if you are so inclined, you can see a few photos from Britney’s concert performance last night — there are a few new costumes and the pics are pretty fab …

Having seen the show 3 times on the 1st leg of The Circus starring Britney Spears, I don’t think I need to see it again but I can appreciate that so many more people who weren’t able to attend a show the first time around are able to see the show this time around. I suspect one of the shows will be recorded for release on DVD, perhaps one of the MSG shows here in NYC? Do your thang, Britney!

Jive Records presented Britney with a plaque yesterday to certify 1 million units sold! Circus was certified Platinum by the RIAA! Congratulations Brit! Britney and manager, Larry Rudolph, met with Barry Weiss, Tom Carrabba, Peter Thea and Teresa LaBabera-Whites, to celebrate the great news.

Aww … Britney looks so happy but also so tired. She is working really hard on this tour but she is hanging in there like a champ. My initial fear was that Britney would start out the tour strong and then begin to wane — after all, it had been many years since she had performed on the concert stage. But I understand that she’s been chuggin’ along putting on great performance after great performance, night after night. It’s a nice sight to see our dear Britney hoisting up awards like this … it’s been a long time since we’ve seen pictures like this. It used to be de rigeur for her to receive these platinum awards soon after she released albums back in the day. It’s amazing to see her back on top … where she belongs. The Circus starring Britney Spears continues to wind its way around the country. It arrives here in SoCal in a few weeks … and I’m still waiting ;)

As you can see, the nightclub literally rolled out the red carpet for Britney’s arrival. I understand her troop of backup dancers also came out for the festivities. Last night, Britney sent out a tweet on her official Twitter profile that read:

Went to Tribe in Montreal with the dancers after the show last night. We had a really great time. 2 days off in a row! -Brit

It really sounds like Britney is having a great and safe time on this tour. With so many people who genuinely care about her watching over her, I think she is learning that she can have a good time and not put herself in danger. I still have a few weeks to go before I can see her live in concert on this tour … the anticipation is killing me. I’m glad to hear that things are going so well, tho. I can’t wait to see her on the concert stage again.

Britney Spears made it a cozy New Year’s Eve with her family – seeing big brother Bryan, 31, tie the knot in a private ceremony at New Orleans landmark Latrobe’s on Royal.

“It was beautiful,” a source tells PEOPLE about the elder Spears’s wedding to Graciella Sanchez, 36, longtime manager of little sister Jamie Lynn. “It was only close family, very small and intimate.” While the couple’s engagement may have caught many by surprise – they only recently started dating seriously – the two have been acquaintances for years. “The family was totally excited,” a friend of the family tells PEOPLE. “Graciella’s wonderful. Everybody was happy about it.” The bride looked stunning in a beige-white Carolina Herrera dress, while the groom sported a smart Marc Jacobs suit. As for the guests? Sanchez’s mother and brother were in attendance, as was the entire Spears crew including sisters Britney and Jamie Lynn; their kids Jayden James, Preston and Maddie; Jamie Lynn’s fiancé Casey Aldridge; and parents Jamie and Lynne.

Aww … that is so sweet. I love that Britney spent her New Year’s Eve in the company of her family, bearing witness to a new addition to the Spears clan. I was hoping she would spend a quiet(er) night this year and am happy to hear that’s exactly what happened. Yesterday, Britney was seen paying a visit to the Kentwood Sonic Drive-In where she enjoyed (among other things, I’m sure) one of the eatery’s famous humongous soft drinks (a Cherry Limeade, perhaps?). Bryan Spears has worked extensively with and protected Britney behind the scenes for years … he was there to help his father get a handle on things when Britney needed them most … I wish him nothing but love and prosperity in his new marriage to Graciella. Congrats!!

I understand that Brit picked up a few Xmas gifts (including toys and matching pajamas) for her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, as well as a few little things for herself. Incidentally, I was at the Americana mall the night before and I also made a pass thru the new Kitson store … now, I’m not trying to say that I set the trend but … well … make of that what you will ;) Because of the constraints placed on her by the terms of her conservatorship, we don’t get to see much of Britney shopping up a storm all over SoCal anymore these days. It’s nice to see that she was able to get out and do some of that again yesterday.

Homegirl looks très magnifique, y’all! I understand that Star Academy is airing RIGHT NOW in France so it may take some time before her performance makes its way to the Internets. I have complete faith that my girl is gonna deliver another great live performance today … haters be damned, our dear Britney Spears is back. Click HERE to watch Star Academy LIVE online right now.

Aww … they look so cute but also so cold. Here are a few pics that have been posted on Britney’s official website from the Bambi Awards last night:

Gotta love the prayer circle. Looks like the man above (or wherever) was paying attention to her pleas of support ;) After the jump, check out a few pics that were snapped on the set of her Rolling Stone magazine photoshoot …

As you may recall, earlier this week we got our first look at Britney’s RS cover and accompanying photospread … and today we get to check out some photos of the actual shoot itself:

To tell the truth, I think I like these pics even better than some of the actual photos that were published in the mag. There is a sweetness to the candid feel of these photos. We are in full Britney Spears Comeback Mode, y’all. It’s a great place to be!!

Yesterday we got a photo from an audition Britney held for an unknown upcoming project. Today BritneySpears.com has details about both the try-outs and what they were for! We just found out that over 70 super talented dancers came to a grueling audition for Britney’s new promotional tour. It was a really long day and the pressure was really on! After a few rounds of cuts the dancers finally got the chance to dance for Britney, Andre and his agents and show them all what they’ve got! So what was Britney looking for? Three new guys for her dance crew — a “womanizer” (of course!) and two “jester” types. We hear that the talent there was AMAZING, which means that Britney’s upcoming performances are going to be out of this world!!!

Man … I will never get tired of seeing Britney back in the swing of things. These photos look like they could’ve been snapped 8 years ago when she was casting dancers for her Oops! I Did It Again Tour. It’s a mighty nice sight seeing her manager Larry Rudolph by her side again … just like the good ol’ days. I think we are all very relieved that her son Jayden James’s hospital scare is over and that the little guy is doing fine … now she can get back to enjoying her holiday in Louisiana. It looks like she’s got a lot more work ahead of her … hopefully she can use this downtime to recharge for the coming promo whirlwind ahead.
