The "Circus" tour is already starting to go the way of the "Onyx Hotel" tour. Britney Spears walked off the stage three songs into her show last night in Vancouver after complaining about the smoky air in the arena. After storming off, an announcement was made:
"The building is awfully smoky. It is uncomfortable for everyone on stage, including Ms. Spears. Please extinguish all cigarettes – this is a non-smoking building, and the show will resume when the smoke on the stage is cleared."
During the unexpected thirty-minute intermission, music played and the crowd grew more and more agitated, booing and yelling insults.
Britney eventually came back on and finished her show but the crowd were not very grateful. At the end of the show Britney concluded with telling the audience, "Vancouver, don't smoke weed." (Yeah, that'll happen in Vancouver. Vancouver.)
After the show, Britney's publicist released a statement to the Associated Press, saying that "crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue."
Below is audio of the announcement, along with comments from the crowd. I love the guy that keeps yelling "You're a ho!"
Last night, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake make special appearances at Madonna's concert at Dodger Stadium. But the three never appeared together as rumored.
Britney, looking...demure... dueted with Madonna on "Human Nature." Justin and Madonna performed "4 Minutes" together. Yawn! What a waste! Those three could have killed on "Deeper and Deeper", "Causing a Commotion" or ohh, wait, "Sidewalk Talk!" (for all the hard-core oldschoolers!) together. Seriously!
Madonna paid tribute to the upcoming release of Chinese Democracy (yes, everything around here is about Axl lately in case you haven't noticed. Deal with it!) by delaying the start of the show by three hours. She claims it was due to lighting and technical difficulties though.
Madonna apologized when the show finally started, "Half my stage is missing, which is why we're in the dark. The absence of light makes it very hard to look into the audience eyes and that's what makes performing such a joy. So come close. And thank you for your understanding."
Here's a clip of Madge and Brit from someone who paid more for their seats than I did for my car:
She says, "I've never even heard Britney's version. I mean, I've obviously heard about it, but I never understood that whole idea. I mean, people usually cover a song that says something about them, but I doubt she loves rock 'n' roll. Maybe she likes songs."
Joan's right. Although Britney in recent years has exhibited more rock 'n' roll behavior than anyone since Ozzy snorted a line of ants, she does not actually love rock 'n' roll. The whole thing was really just a big misunderstanding.
What happened was Britney heard the Weird Al version, "I Love Rocky Road" and agreed to cover the song based on her love of the tasty treat. Which nobody can argue!
The music nerd in me also feels the need to point out that Joan's version of "I Love Rock N Roll" is a cover as well. The song was originally written and recorded by a band called The Arrows back in 1975.
Star Magazine reported not too long ago that Britney and Kevin recently shared a kiss and now they say the two have progressed to having phone sex.
An "insider" tells Star that Britney couldn't sleep one night and called Kevin at 2 am. The talk started about their children but soon the topic got dirty and they weren't talking about Brit's weave.
Since then the two have been reaching out and touching themselves on a weekly basis, says the insider.
Ok, first - ewww! I was going write a fictional transcription of what one of these sessions might be like, but some things are just too gross and scary, even for my polluted backyard mind, so sorry.
Second, who is this insider? Are they listening in to these conversations? Are they getting off too?
Ok, I'm sorry, I'm getting a little queasy now. I guess we should try and see the positive. At least they can't conceive any more children this way.
Star is reporting that Britney and K-Fed shared a kiss on April 8th when Kevin was at Britney's to pick up the kids.
And insider revealed, "They were discussing the boys and how they're doing when she suddenly got in close and kissed Kevin. She did it because she felt so close to him at that moment."
On Kevin's reaction, the insider said, "He loved the kiss, of course." The source said Kevin then said to Britney, "Should we be doing this in front of the boys?" Britney's reponse, "We're their parents, so why not?"
Don't get too excited, Kevin could have just been drinking a Frappuccino and had a little on his lips.
Looks like Adnan's a little hard up for cash these days since Britney dumped his ass and he may be starting to sell some of the dirt he's been rumored to have collected over the course of their relationship.
Adnan is said to be in talks with porn giant Vivid Video on a Pam-Tommy type of marketing campaign. This information came out after a short clip of the tape began to circulate online (to generate interest, I presume).
You can check out the clip HERE, but I must warn you, it's a little grainy, and definitely not for the faint of heart. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Britney Spears has reportedly been receiving regular colonic sessions at a Beverly Hills clinic!! Fun!!
The Daily Mirror got the poop, oops, I mean scoop. A source said, "Cleansing a few times a week gets rid of lingering stuff in the colon. Britney's had the treatment before and says it makes her feel great, more upbeat and energetic." And not toxic!!!
Aren't you glad you know that now? How's your lunch by the way?
So How I Met Your Mother had its highest ratings ever this week thanks to Britney's guest appearance and now, just like Brit says, everyone wants a piece of her!
Tina Fey is reportedly interested to get Brit to appear on her show, 30 ROCK. Tina said "We would love to work with Britney. I've worked with her twice on Saturday Night Live and she was very professional and nice. "
Too bad The Return of Jezebel James didn't get the memo. That show already got canceled!
Second thought, nah, even Britney couldn't save that one.
Here's an abridged version of last night's much-hyped How I Met Your Mother episode starring Britney. She wasn't horrible, but it was a little robotic. Watch closely, you can almost see the person standing off camera giving Brit her lines. She probably got rewarded a Cheeto after each successful take.
Oh wait, are we supposed to be rooting for her again? It's hard to keep track. GREAT JOB BRITNEY!! YOU LOOKED REALLY CUTE!!
Here's the first preview for Britney's much talked about guest spot on "How I Met Your Mother."
Personally I would have said it "Can we have sex and then GO shopping?" instead of "Can we have sex and THEN go shopping?" But I'm just so proud she remembered her line! Although it's not that much of a stretch, as she probably said that to Adnan at least a couple times a day.
Britney still may not be allowed to see her children whenever she wants, but nobody said she couldn't hang out with other people's kids!
She's been teaching dance to a class of 15 young girls (whose parents' obviously have not seen her performance at the MTV Video Awards) at L.A.'s Millennium Dance Complex for the past month.
And the kids love her! Little Elissa Bouganim told PEOPLE, "I like Britney. Today, first we were dancing slow, and then faster and faster ... Then we did the fish-move and lots of other fun things." (Note: the "fish move" was just Britney nodding off and losing her balance, but the five-year-olds were none the wiser.)
Elissa's mom was really happy with her daughter's new teacher, "It's just amazing to watch Britney with the kids. Elissa won't stop dancing now, that's all she wants to do. Britney has really inspired her."
Dammit, I can't make fun anymore. I think this is great and maybe this will finally help Britney turn things around. She should move back to Kentwood and open a dance studio and be Miss Britney.
Britney Spears has dumped Adnan Ghalib after she found text messages containing "pretty saucy stuff with sexual references" from another woman on his phone.
An insider told the Sun, "Britney lost it and started yelling. She was demanding to know who sent the texts and shouting, 'What's this about? You're cheating on me' Just before she told Adnan to go, she took the phone and threw it in the pool right in front of him. He didn't even bother trying to get it out of the water."
Look for those pictures Adnan's been rumored to be shopping around to surface any day now. He's gonna need some cash!
No word on which paparazzi photographer Britney plans to date next. SOURCE
Star is reporting that Adnan Ghalib has been telling friends that Britney's pregnant with his child. They even go as far as to reach that Brit shows a baby bump in the above photo.
One of Adnan's "friends" told the magazine, "Britney is Adnan's dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he'll be made for life."
