Britney To Extend Her Tour?

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

MGM officials have told me there are no official plans for any nightclub celebrations there after her show. Britney’s tour is produced by AEG Live/Concerts West, the entertainment conglomerate responsible for Cher and Bette Midler at Caesars Palace and Carlos Santana’s new residency at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel.

Its president, John Meglen, told me: “It is one of the biggest and best-selling tours of the decade. Response and reaction has been phenomenal worldwide, and this weekend date at MGM is the highest ticket-selling gross so far. European fans cannot wait for her to get there, and in many, many venues, the tickets have been sold out instantly, and we’ve had to juggle dates to add more shows to meet the demand.”

Britney Spears’ New Year’s Eve Strip Performance

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

Mastermind manager Larry Rudolph always told me that the royal return he was engineering for pop superstar Britney Spears would be “the biggest and best comeback in showbiz history.” He’s within 30 days of seeing that promise come true: He is in the midst of carefully executing his top secret plan, and Vegas has a mighty lot to do with it!

Here’s what I’ve learned so far since the rumor mill went into heavy overdrive:

- Negotiations are going down to the wire for Britney to appear on the Strip on New Year’s Eve with a special two-song performance on network television -- and she’ll co-host part of the year’s retrospective in music segment.

- Her new album, "Circus," will be released on her birthday, Dec. 2.

- Britney herself will soon announce a new world Circus tour, with tickets going on sale in early December.

- The pop princess has confided that she’s hiring three new male backup dancers to add to her current crew specifically for the tour.

Wednesday morning, Britney herself posted photos and details of the upcoming projects on her Web site, britneyspears.com. She even says the talent she found among the 70 dancers trying out for her and manager Larry Rudolph was “amazing.”

By the way, that’s guru Larry in the white T-shirt and baseball cap sitting right alongside her! He’s a Vegas regular and always stays at George Maloof’s Palms, where he is a partner in the Sunset Tan salon in the new Palms Place condo tower.
