The following italicized article is from www.people.co.uk:Britney Spears is to make her UK comeback next summer with a spectacular tour.
She will unveil her concert plans just before performing her new single Womanizer on next Saturday's X Factor.
The song - already a chart-topper in the US - is set to storm our charts when it is released tomorrow.
And her new album Circus comes out a week later - the day before her 27th birthday.
Cry A source said: "She is so excited about performing on X Factor because it will prove she's back on form.
"It makes perfect sense to reveal her tour plans at the same time."
The UK leg on her multimillion-pound world tour includes TEN dates at the 02 Arena in London as well as concerts in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow. Brit - who won two MTV Europe music awards earlier this month - will also play Dublin and a string of major cities on the Continent.
It's all a far cry from 18 months ago when Brit ran amok after losing custody of her sons Sean, three, and Jayden, two, to ex-hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE, 30.
The singer shaved off her blonde hair, was hospitalised twice and made headlines round the world by attacking a photographer's car with an umbrella.
But now she's set to reclaim her "princess of pop" crown.
Our source said: "There is no doubt about it - Britney is back.
"And she is hoping the new tour will erase the bad memories of her last one when she lip-synched the whole thing."
