I'm surprised she wasn't cracking up.

Obviously she won't go on tour right away again because, well, it'll be too soon. She'll probably wait till the 4th single or so is released.
What will she do then for the first 3 singles? PROMOTE?!?!?
ZOMFGEJEDNVNHVJGJ!!!!  
...or not.   |
Actually, I think it will be promoted well by her. I can really see it happening. Maybe not TONS, but at least some appearances/interviews/performances. Not to mention the VMAs being RIGHT smack in the middle of the new era.
Tour? Yeah, most likely it'll start in the Fall once the album's nearly done.

^If you're wrong, I will find you and kill you. And since you're only two hours north of me, it is well within my reach.  :scary:

Angry Britney Spears fans stormed out of her concert in Australia recently and demanded their money back because the pop star was lip-synching. From Ashlee Simpson to Milli Vanilli to Pavarotti, we look at artists who have been caught faking it for their fans.
* Outback outrage: Britney Spears upset Australian fans with her lip-synching ways.
* So not live: Ashlee Simpson got caught with her mic down on "Saturday Night Live."
* Girl, you know it's not true: Milli Vanilli's career was pretty much over when fans discovered they were frauds.
* Olympic-sized scandal: The little girl "singing" at the 2008 Beijing Opening Ceremony was replaced at the last minute.
* Tenor troubles: Opera singer Luciano Pavarotti was lip-synching controversy of its own.
* Off to a bad start: Lindsay Lohan had to dodge lip-synch accusations when her first album came out.
* Dissed by a knight: Sir Elton John had a few choice words about Madonna's performances

The Idolator Interview: Adam Lambert
For your entertainment (and, sure, ours too), we caught up with Adam Lambert and Kris Allen at the Us Weekly Hot in Hollywood party at Voyeur nightclub last night. (The magazine honored both guys in its “Stars of the Year” coverage—Adam was named “Glam God of the Year” and Kris “Victor of the Year.”) Tomorrow we’ll be posting our interview with the adorable and subdued Allen, but for now, check out our heart-to-heart with the delicious little space alien known as @adamlambert:
BB: Let’s talk about some other things going on in pop music. What’s your take on the Britney lip-synch controversy?
AL:I don’t know what it is.
BB: She lip-synched concerts in Australia and they had a hissy-fit, basically.
AL: They haven’t been watching her career for the past few years? That’s what she does.
BB: Is lip-synching during a performance something a pop artist should be ashamed of? Or should audiences just know better going into a show?
AL: It depends on the type of performer you are. Some are known for their voices, and some are performers. I think Britney is a fantastic performer, I think she’s a lot of fun, and gorgeous. She’s dancing! And something when you’re dancing really hard, it’s hard to sing. She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do.

Michael Buble Defends Britney Spears
Michael Bublé has defended Britney Spears after media reports criticised her for miming at concerts in Australia.
Speaking to the Herald Sun, Bublé said: "You'd think she killed someone. As an artist, and a human being, some of what has been written about her is so nasty."
"OK, she lip-synchs her show, people know that, they make the decision if they want to go and see her do that."
"Does she deserve the way she's been completely bashed by the media here? No."

Sydney fans get their fill of Britney Spears at Acer Arena
EVEN if Britney Spears had delivered live vocals at the opening of her record-breaking stand at Sydney's Acer Arena last night it would have been impossible for her to be heard over the crowd's deafening roar of welcome.
After a week of controversy the Britney Spears Circus finally rolled into town and the capacity crowd seemed impressed.
They cheered and applauded when she arrived on and when she left the stage.
But in between, most sat or stood quietly.
It's not that the Circus Show and the presence of Spears herself aren't enough to enthral - they are.
But experiencing the show through the prism of too much knowledge was always going to lessen the impact.
Photos of Britney in Sydney
The facts are that Britney did mime - with the exception of her performance of the ballad Everytime - and Australia has already witnessed two exceptional pop spectaculars recently, courtesy of Pink and Beyonce.
Our benchmark is high, as it should be.
Spears brought the hits, dancers and absolute visual extravaganza of the Circus performance, plus her own adorable wide grin.
But you could feel the disconnect between US star and local fans as she strutted and vogued rather than danced, lip-synched instead of singing and reprised her only greeting for the crowd:
"What's up Sydney, how are you feeling?"
There was no doubt the fans were rewarded with a set list they wanted to hear after so many years of waiting and a peppering of spectacular moments to make them feel their loyalty was worth it.
Unfortunately for this reviewer all the Circus Show did was to remind me of the first moment my pop innocence was shattered - when I discovered Janet Jackson cried at exactly the same moment during every one of her concerts.
But the Spears fans, they will come in droves: Britney is on course to break Acer Arena's record with 67,000 people expected to witness her four concerts in Sydney.

Why Sydney loves Britney
How silly, if not downright dumb, are those frothing in manufactured outrage over Britney Spears not singing live? Firstly, we don't want her to sing: they put that voice through electronic devices so it sounds like a robotic answering machine for a reason, you know.
Secondly, Spears puts on a big-top pop show. And doesn't pretend otherwise.
Like three tenors singing in a football stadium, big pop shows aren't really about the music. From Madonna and Janet Jackson to Christina Aguilera, Kylie and Ricky Martin - did you really think they all sang every note live? These shows are about the flash of the costumes, the flair of the dancing, the wow of the special effects and the eye-popping gimmicks enjoyed in the company of thousands of like-minded screaming souls.
So forget ''authenticity''. The question is whether Spears delivers a good pop show.
Three stages set in the round, circus and bondage gear, gymnasts and wrestlers, legs akimbo and pole dancing and three costume changes - that's just the first four songs.
Soon there is lingerie, dry humping and dragster bikes.
Nothing is static for more than seconds and with the badly overblown sound you can be distracted from the poor material and the fact La Britney doesn't dance so much as move a lot.
She may save her best songs, Toxic and Slave 4 U , not to mention the compulsive Womaniser for the end, but by then the selling has been done.
Empty and trashy it may be but this is pop spectacle done with shameless gusto.
Just like it says on the packet.
