Opening Act Announcement

Britney Spears is bringing "The Circus Starring Britney Spears" back to North America with a little help from special guests, Kristinia DeBarge and Ciara. Both artists are set to open for Britney during her return to Canada and the U.S. beginning August 20th.

Ciara, the 24-year old Grammy Award winning artist, most recently seen as the opening act for Britney in London, will be joined by Kristinia DeBarge in August for the 20-city tour.

Daughter of 80's pop star, James DeBarge, Kristinia got her start as one of the top 20 "American Juniors" when she was 13. She then went on to work with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and landed her record deal with Island Def Jam two days before her 19th birthday. DeBarge's current single, "Goodbye" can be heard on itunes and is featured in Nivea's national television campaign.

"Joining Britney Spears for her "Circus" tour will be an amazing and surreal experience for me. I have been dreaming of an opportunity like this forever, and can't wait," exclaims DeBarge.

With its cast of nearly 50 dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats, and a traveling staff of over 200, the 50 million dollar extravaganza travels with an unprecedented 60 tons of equipment in 34 trucks for what has already proven to be the most electrifying musical event ever.

"The Circus Starring Britney Spears" kicked-off in New Orleans, LA on March 3, "The pop star...pulled out all the stops before a sell-out crowd of 16,400 to launch her much anticipated world tour," stated Reuters. To date, the Circus is the highest grossing tour of 2009 in North America. Britney is currently touring Europe to raves reviews. "The Circus starring Britney Spears, the relentlessly high octane and superbly choreographed affair delighted 23,000 assembled fans" claims the UK's Daily Mail, and The Financial Times stating "...with costume changes, a mini-magic show and blingy bicycles, the presentation was a feast for the eyes."

Britney Spears Never Offered Christina Aguilera Concert Tickets

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

There have been several online stories about Britney Spears supposedly offering Christina Aguilera tickets to see her concert a couple months back in Los Angeles. Since this column knows several people who work at Britney’s label, we decided to get further information and found out that the story is completely false.

I guess the tabloids love to keep fights between celebrities going, real or fake. It certainly makes more interesting reading material. But for those who really care, Christina Aguilera was never offered tickets by Britney Spears and we can now all live happily ever after.
