EXCLUSIVE: Britney Visits Miami Children's Hospital

Britney took a break from rehearsals to visit Miami Children's Hospital for a surprise visit with 40 sick children.

Pediatric radiologist Ricardo Restrepo and Lee Schrager, Director of Media for Southern Wine and Spirits America, thought Britney would be a fab visitor to the hospital since her Circus-themed tour ties in with the hospital's Big Apple Circus Clown Care program, which features medically-trained clowns who visit the kids.

Britney Spears Makes Time For The Sick Kids Of Miami

As Britney Spears’s concert tour The Circus starring Britney Spears continues to roll across the country, it would seem that Britney has decided to carve out some time along the way to give back to some very needy people. Before her live performance at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL last night, she paid a visit to the Miami Children’s Hospital to brighten up the spirits of the sick children there by spending time with them. She also donated a hefty sum to a very fun program that services the hospital. Here is a pic of Britney and some of the sick kids she hung out with yesterday:

After rolling into Miami, Britney Spears’s Circus Tour featured a sideshow for a worthy cause. The pop star paid a visit to 40 sick children at Miami Children’s Hospital on Saturday. “She took pictures with the kids and gave them autographed pictures,” hospital spokesperson Cristene Martinez tells PEOPLE. “The kids were so excited to meet Britney, and having her here was a great distraction for them.” She also made a donation to the hospital’s Big Apple Circus Clown Care program, which features clowns who have medical training who visit the young patients on a regular basis, as well as attend special events at the hospital. Spears, 27, who did not have her own children with her, stayed about a half hour, then left with her bodyguard to prepare for her show at the America Airlines Arena.

What a great idea! I think it’s very cool and very wise for Britney to make time for events like these. While I do not discount the genuineness of her actions, I suppose taking on charitable appearances like this go along way to erasing the image some may still have of the “crazy Britney” that we saw not so long ago. Image repair like this is very smart. But, again, just because she seems to be working on her public image, it shouldn’t detract from her good deeds. I’m sure the kids at the hospital were thrilled to have a visit from Britney Spears and I know the hospital could really use her monetary donation. My guess is that Britney will continue to do things like this as her tour carries on. Tonight, Britney performs in Tampa, FL.

Britney Spears Surprises Kids At Miami Hospital

The following italicized article is from www.radaronline.com:

Pop star Britney Spears flew into Miami today via private jet and landed in the hospital--but it's not what you think.

Spears stopped by Miami Children's Hospital for a surprise visit with sick kids and to donate $100,000 to the hospital's Big Apple Circus Clown Care, a community outreach program that brings the joys of the circus to hospitalized children

Pediatric radiologist Ricardo Restrepo and Lee Schrager, Director of Media for Southern Wine and Spirits America, arranged for the singer to visit the hospital, saying the circus theme of her tour was a natural tie in for a hospital with clowns.

Spears was with her dad, Jamie, who has been keeping her on a literal tight rope since the pop tart kicked off her Circus tour in New Orleans last week. Although papa Spears tried to prevent us from snapping any shots, we managed to snag one of Brit, who looked surprisingly fresh, dewy and poised, if not a little robotic.

The singer posed for photos with kids, barely spoke beyond "Say cheese," and was in and out in literally ten minutes. But that's OK-- she's busy. Tonight, Brit brings her Circus show to the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Britney's mom Lynne and baby sister Jamie Lynn flew a separate jet into Miami to join her tonight. Those hoping Brit will go batty in Miami tonight should look elsewhere for train wreck material ---(such as the Seminole Hard Rock where Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are trashing a party)----as it is clear her dad has her under serious surveillance.

Dancers Get Kicked Off Circus Tour

The following italicized article is from www.radaronline.com:

Only three stops into the tour and Britney Spears' Circus crew has already experienced a few casualties. RadarOnline.com has learned that some of the dancers were recently kicked off for failing their drug tests.

The tour is largely seen as Spears' official comeback, and her team is putting a lockdown on any possible disruptions or distractions.

"I think [the fired dancers] just didn't expect to actually get tested," says the source. "And drugs are just not okay so they had to go."

With the rave reviews Spears has been getting since her kick-off performance in New Orleans on March 3, it seems like are few strict policies make the right recipe for success.
