‘The Circus Starring Britney Spears’ Ends Its US Run

Next up, Down Under
Monday, September 28th, 2009

Britney Spears ended the second leg of her North American tour, The Circus starring Britney Spears, at Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV last night and by all accounts the entire tour (which took her to Europe earlier this year and will take her to Australia later this year) has been a smashing success. Before Brit Brit took to the state for one last time (here in the US), she loaded up her men (sons – Sean Preson and Jayden James, father – Jamie Spears and rumored paramour and agent – Jason Trawick) and made her way to the Sugar Factory boutique to load up on candy for her kiddies … here are a few pics:


Aww … such a cute family. I’m not sure if I totally believe the rumors that Jason and Britney aren’t together together … but I still contend they make a very nice family when they are all together. But, after the shopping excursion … it was time to get to work. After the jump, check out photos from Britney’s final performance of The Circus starring Britney Spears in Las Vegas …

Britney Spears Covers Alanis Morissette In Concert

'You Oughta Know'
Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Britney Spears, who is currently on the second leg of her North American tour The Circus starring Britney Spears, busted out a surprise performance in Greensboro, NC last night. In addition to her normal setlist, Britney interjected a LIVE performance of the Alanis Morissette hit You Oughta Know:


It’s unclear if this new number is going to be repeated at future concert stops or if it was a one-time-only special performance. I understand they had problems with the rigging equipment and Britney was not able to make her usual entrance to the stage by descending from the rafters, nor was she able to fly on her huge umbrella to perform Everytime. Perhaps this cover was a special gift to the audience for the rigging problems. After the jump, check out video of Britney performing You Oughta Know

Woot!! First we learn that Britney is really dating her hottie agent Jason Trawick and now we learn that she is coming back to the US to tour one more time around. Things are going very well for our dear Britney these days. I’m not sure if I’ll need to see the show again (after all, I did see it 3 times the first time around) but I’ll wait until we hear more about this second North American leg of the tour to make a determination. I’m curious to find out who will be opening up for her on this second leg and I’m really hoping she’ll change up the setlist a little bit. My gut tells me the show will not change that much so … I might take a pass. But, for those of you who missed seeing the show before — you now have another chance to see it. It’s deffo worth seeing … I loved the show! I think you will, too.

I’m actually very surprised that this will be the first time that our dear Britney has toured Australia. I’m sure the Aussies are very excited that she is finally heading their way. It is turning out to be a very big touring year for Britney … I suspect that she will be doing a bit more touring between now and November. I’m sure that the plan is to get in as much touring as possible while she is on a hot streak (not to mention to refill her coffers … I have no doubt that all of this touring is making her a lot of money). Make your plans now, Aussies. Britney Spears is bringing her Circus your way.
