Britney Spears is on tour again, which - rumor has it - is doing wonders for her family (she might get to, like, control her own life and shit!).

For those of you who expect that the singer is putting on shows full of lip-syncing, we present this video from a recent concert. Stick with it, at :31, Britney goes off stage for a costume change and - into a live mic- complains: “My pussy is hanging out.”

All class, Ms. Spears.

Britney Spears kicked off her Circus tour last night, I was informed through her Twitter account. Subsequently, I nabbed some photos of the singer’s multiple costumes and setups.

Really, though, is the world ever going to be ready to pretend this woman didn’t have an extremely public breakdown and air all her shit on CNN? I’m not.

Though, to Britney’ credit, she has found herself a profession where she never has to wear pants while on an elevated platform in front of thousands of people. Which I guess is ballsy in an ironic, she-don’t-have-balls sort of way.

Yesterday morning, Britney Spears’ Twitter account was one of 33 high-profile accounts to be hacked on the micro-blogging service…

Bigger versions of the above were also released by the Spears camp. Click to enlarge.

Go ahead and start the video now, just in case you finish reading and can’t stand it any longer.

It’s a parody of Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” a song that is more popular than it logically should be. We should know, most of us have been covering Britney Spears as long as we’ve been blogging. She used to be, like, the queen of internet blogs when her life collided with cable network news.

Call us picky if you want, but we have to ask: When did it become acceptable to write a one word chorus for a pop song? Was someone just like “Hey, if she just repeats ‘Womanizer’ over and over again and adds in some ‘oooo’s, then the song will work just fine and no one will forget the name of Brintey’s comeback single!”

We’re sick of “Womanizer” parody videos, and this is only, like, the second one we’ve seen.

Britney Spears celebrated her 27th birthday today on Good Morning America, where she also debuted her new single “Circus” and her now-repetitive performance of “Womanizer,” both off her new album (in stores today) also called Circus.

Under the cut, this morning’s two performances on Good Morning America…

Don’t worry, we have someone writing up the details on the new Beverly Hills Cop movie right now, it’s just that this week, the Britney Spears Team is going to try to pull off a comeback we thought impossible a year ago. Or two years ago.

Today, during what some would call a “lunch break” (though more accurately described as a sudden feeding frenzy followed by half-an-hour of bathroom reading), MTV will re-broadcast last night’s Britney: For The Record that was supposed to answer all of our questions about her, but really just made us feel bad for the poor girl.

If the recent Rolling Stone article seems a little sterile, look towards the editor’s letter in the beginning of the magazine and learn that Britney is impossible to talk to because she’s on super-controlled career lockdown. Her dad, Jamie Spears, still controls all her legal rights, who she hires and what happens to her money, so the person we’re seeing on tour with a single “Womanizer” dance routine looks a little dead behind the eyes.

Tomorrow sees the release of her album, Circus, which means this week officially begins the Britney Spears Comeback Watch. Because pulling this amount of damage control off will be a feat to watch.

Below the cut, we show you Britney’s 3 performances of Womanizer seen thus far only in Europe. We have a video from Germany’s Bambi Awards, a video from Paris’ Star Academy and one from London’s X-Factor. Notice the eerily-similar routines inside…
