Britney Spears is amazing. She’s worked hard for this comeback, y’all, and it’s all working. People are in love with Brit-Brit again, so much so they’ll even forgive her one little “slip”. And by “slip”, I mean Britney saying over a live microphone at her Tampa concert “my p—y was hanging out”. First – a live microphone? They still give Britney a live microphone? Second, I love it, it’s so old-school Britney. Though it wasn’t reported, I’d be willing to bet the original quote was “my p—y was hanging out, y’all.”
That’s not all the news coming out of Britney’s tour, though. Her father, Jamie, just fired three dancers for “suspected drug use”. Jamie is adamant about everyone in Britney’s environment being clean, and I applaud him for that. However, the firings are bound to hurt the morale of the tour. The Daily Mail has more:
Britney Spears took a break in the middle of her 44-date world tour by relaxing poolside in Miami with sons Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2. But father Jamie has clamped down on the tour party, firing three dancers for suspected drug use in a bid to keep the star away from temptation.
The mother of two and her entourage chilled out on the latest stop of the Circus tour, before heading for the next show in New York.
…A mellowed Britney looked healthy as she managed to combine a spot of sunbathing with some quality time with her sons who along with their father have joined her on tour. But conditions on the tour are ‘beyond strict’, say sources, as the actions of Britney’s father show. The dancers were caught out by a drug test ordered by Jamie, 55. A drug test clause was reportedly written into the contracts of all the singer’s 50-plus dancers.
A source told The Daily Star: ‘They begged to be given a second chance but were shown the door. Britney and the dancers spent months rehearsing before the tour started and they had become more like family. But the show must go on and such behaviour won’t be tolerated. The remaining dancers have been read the riot act. They have been told that if they know of drugs being used they must come clean or face the boot themselves.’
The next date on her London-bound tour is in New York on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Britney shocked the audience at the show in Tampa after she let her reformed bad girl veneer slip.
During the show, she suffered yet another wardrobe malfunction which went largely unnoticed by the audience, until she said over her microphone, ‘My p**** was hanging out’.
Miming her whole set, except for one song, the singer assumed her microphone would be switched off. But to her surprise, and the audience’s shock, it had been left on – meaning everyone heard the star’s explicit statement.
From The Daily Mail
Oh, Britney. Who thinks that Britney’s Circus tour is going to play every date? Who thinks that at some point, probably in the next month, Britney will claim exhaustion and cancel the remainder of the tour? Jamie is keeping her on a tight leash, but she’s bound to find some way to revert back to old, crazy Britney at some point.
Photos are of Britney performing on 3/3/09, thanks to WENN.
Nice tacky crotch shot on the bottom photo.
I think its a good thing that her dad is really trying to do the right thing and help her have a successful tour. She needs the good PR and if she’s going to be able to resume her status as a professional entertainer, then she needs to have those kinds of rules for the staff. It probably doesn’t hurt the dancers’ performance to be clean while on the road either.
I feel sort of sad for her when I look at these pictures. Dancing around in a bra..she seems like a puppet on a string. SHe used to have this energy that she just doesn’t have anymore. She’s stuck in this life so she’s decided to try and enjoy it and go for the succes again, but I don’t think she’ll ever fully enjoy it again.
Good for her dad. Thats the type of person she needs close to her. As for the pussywillow comment. what do you expect?
I know she has her fan base, but I feel her time has passed.
Seriously, your tone is weird… It’s like you are implying that she is crazy, and all this is just a good PR game… and that one day, the crazy britney will show her face again.
Yeah, because it’s totally make sense: they tell her what to do, what to say, what to wear, they drug her so she can behave. Ofcourse they do!!! Deep down, she is super crazy but you cannot see it, thanks to her entourage. How could this girl be successful just by herself?????
I like how everyone said that her new album was too much pressure, she was gonna breakdown before the VMA 08. Then, everyone said that she will breakdown during the reheasal of the tour. Then, she’s gonna breakdown during her first show. Now, she is gonna breakdwon in a month…..
Is it too hard to believe that, deep down she is a nice girl, evey professional, who knwos what she is doing??? And that during 2007 she was not really herself???
And that the real Britney is the one we see right now???
I am just f***ing glad that she is proving everyone wrong… It’s like every day she slaps everyone in the face!!!!
She has the best revenge anyone have ever had…
I don’t understand what the controversy is regarding the firing of the dancers. If their contracts explictly state “no drugs,” then their firing after being caught with drugs is completely justified. No one wants to be accountable for their actions any more. Maintaining sobriety is very difficult for some people, and I applaud Britney’s dad for doing whatever it takes to limit temptation for his daughter. It seems like the media is starting to turn against Mr. Spears, but Britney is clearly thriving under his care. So what if he is strict and controlling? Only he knows what it takes to keep Britney on an even keel, and he’s apparently doing whatever it takes.
To Lilou: My tone is not weird. But what do you expect from someone who has already showed the world her VAGINA!!!! Why is everyone surprised that she said P*ssy?? If she has no problem showing, do you think she’ll having a problem saying it?? Thats all i meant. Sorry i had to explain it for you.
I’m with Lem, save for I don’t “sort” of feel sad for her, I DO feel sad for her.
Hm. I thought she would be more toned and lean to parade around in lingerie. I think she looks flabby, sorry.
@luckystar…
ur right, she does look flabby.
she needs to celebrate her womanly curves with better-fitting costumes.
To Lilou: We are talking about someone who actually showed her vagina to the world!! So, someone who doesnt mind showing it, probably doesnt mind saying it. Sorry i had to explain to you!~
The p-y comment was actually pretty funny.
She doesn’t look fat, she just looks old. I don’t think two kids and a mental break down does wonders for your body, and it can’t be reversed no matter how many hours you put in at the gym. I know these are costumes, but she should cover up more it would look better. No one wants to pay to see an average looking person in skimpy clothes, that’s what the (free) beach is for.
As for the back up dancers, I’m glad their drug use was taken seriously. It was in the contract, they shouldn’t even have asked for a second chance, idiots.
Don’t listen to Britney, my kids don’t even know she exist-but I wish it didn’t take a total mental breakdown, and holding children hostage for the parents to step in. And I wish other celebrities parents could be more involved in thier children’s lives-the younger ones who you can fix before they either: die from a drug overdose, party themselves haggard and loose creditbility, or go mental.
Then there would a few more respectful young celebrities to look up to than the 4 out 50 today.
She’s just pathetic and crazy enough that I’m sort of liking her nowdays. That doesn’t mean I listen to her music. That doesn’t mean I’d ever PURCHASE her music or go see her “perform.” But I’m sort of pulling for the old crazy gal. She’s going to ride that crazy train all the way to her 50s, but not be as annoying as Madonna, watch.
She just makes me giggle nowdays. I’m going to figure out a way to use that line: “my p_______ was hanging out y’all.” Hee.
Lilou, tone it down a bit there, girl. We’re not Britney happy worshipping freaks around here. We just take her the way she is nowdays. But she’s not brilliant, she’s not amazing. Her story is a cautionary one, and really somewhat sad overall. Hopefully it’ll have a happy ending, but time will tell.
Um, just curious..what’s your problem with “y’all?” I live in the deep south and it is a common term here. It doesn’t mean that southern people are less intelligent or less educated…just that they have their own regional colloquialisms–just like any other area.
It sounds better than the “youse guys” I hear up north from my yankee friends and relatives, at least.
Britney has a lot of problems, but being a southern person that says “y’all” isn’t one of them. There’s nothing wrong with having a regional accent.
She is an average looking woman with average singing skills and good dancing skills with a lot of people wanting and needing to make $ off her by marketing her, writing songs for her, choreographing her moves, etc. etc. Not inspiring. Not original. She’s like the McDonalds of the entertainment world; over-salted and over-greased to slide down the gullet so easily that you don’t notice how bad the taste is.
Hee! Classic Britney. Good for her dad. I don’t know why anyone thinks she won’t finish her tour. Why not? She looks healthy and has the ones she loves with her. I think she’ll do fine.
barneslr: Im a little offended by the term “Yankee” If you dont want me to call you a hilbilly or country bumkin then do not refer to us northern folks as yankees. When i went do myrtle beach 3 yrs ago thats all the locals would say to you. Hey you yankee, so rude. Thats part of the reason i wont return….& b/c everything to eat down there is dipped in a deep fryer.
Barnselr
dont let them damn yanks get to you.
Deeze dem and does are the norm and we use Ya’ll and it sounds a lot better then dees dem and does.
Brit is far from over she has made her come back and too bad the tights ripped but no big deal . I am sure some of the perpetual virgins in here have done worse lol they just wont admit it.
Britney used to be good, I’ll give her that. But I am concerned on how her father and managers and such are running her ragged. If you take a good look at the clips from the tour so far, her dancing is good, but not great. It’s definitely not the Britney I remember. Her singing voice was and is crap, but her choreography was always sharp and VERY impressive to watch. Not so much on this tour. Her moves in the clips I’ve seen…there was just something off.
50 dancers?!? Is this tour going to make any money?
I think her people put her out there on tour so soon because they want to recoup the money back they lost on Blackout, her last album, but they’re not going to make any money paying an army of dancers.
I still don’t get why doesn’t she just have a VEGAS Burlesque show instead of having YOUTH see this type of act? and Lip Sync ? She is poured into those shoes & they look disproportionate. I would hope she could put her spirit into something that really moves her. From what I have seen it just looks like someone going through the motions & not being themselves.
What Trillion said.
Oh, and LOL at the civil war reenactment starting to unfold on this thread.
barneslr–So true!
I’m from Ohio and people make fun of me for saying “ya’ll” but don’t bat an eyelash when they say “You’se guys”!
I don’t find “Yankee” to be offensive. Again, I think it is a regional thing and I honestly would say the North does more smack-talkin about the South than vice-versa!
Just Sayin’.
LOL! DAMN YANKEES. heeee!
I remember that day when I was workin down at the Piggly Wiggly and my uniform got all twisted and I said right after I announced Clean up on Aisle 4, My pussy’s hanging out y’all…It was real embarassin!
Look at that roll of fat,on her waste,and that greasy hair. She is just under average in looks.
I know I’ve mentioned this before in another Brit thread, but I just feel the need to speak to her dancing.
The Onyx Hotel tour was cancelled because she did some pretty serious damage to her knee and needed surgery to repair it, remember? She won’t ever dance the way she did before that, no matter how good the surgery and recovery were, which is why you see a lot of the “arm movements” and not as much quick stepping now. That said, she still moves better than 75% percent of performers out there.
Just my two cents on the dancing.
I skimmed, so pardon me if I’m wrong, but I’m surprised that no one else on this usually sharp blog has made the observation that perhaps this was not an accident? Um, just maybe, it was totally intentional on Britney’s part? I heard the clip on another website, and it did not sound unintentional to me.
Just sayin’……
Hey,brilliant people;
IT would be just as funny if Brittany had said ‘my pus*y was hanging out,you GUYS’. Instead of ‘ya’ll’.
It’s just a funny thing.Like she’s sitting among close friends chatting.
And as far as ya’ll,c’mon,it’s been fairly well-discussed,if not documented,that the Spears clan ‘ya’lls’ are of the other kind of southerner-the one that is most often stereotyped. Remember Jamie Lynn pregnant on that ATV? Shopping at Walmart?
So,everyone lighten up on the regional front. Both north and south could use a few more manners,in my experience. [Regardless of how many polite ma’am and sirs you use,if it ain’t genuine,then it doesn’t count.]
Y’all is actually proper grammar. It is an abbreviation of “you all.” However, stereotyping is never proper and definitely not classy.
Britney doesn’t claim to be the best singer/dancer/performer ever. If you don’t like her- then don’t. Personally, I love her!
Finally, Walmart rocks- especially in this economy, y’all.
love her, just wish she didn’t sell herself short
barneslr: I’m southern and I take no offense. It’s a Britney joke. She always smacks that gum and puts “Y’AAAAAL” on the end of just about everything she says. She’s a caricature. If you aren’t a caricature, then you don’t need to take offense, now do you?
I say y’all, but I don’t say it the way she does: dragging it out and peppering my speech with it constantly. Part of her shtick is being southern, so she exploits that for all it’s worth.
Trillion x 2. I really, really, really didn’t like Brits when she came on the scene (I was more of a Shirley Manson girl, myself), and even though I doubt she’s as “sick” as the tabloids make her out to be . . . I’m beginning to find her somewhat endearing. Somewhat . . .
I don’t know what’s funnier, Brit’s chirpy little voice, or the fact that someone left a mircophone on during a Britney Spears concert.
🙂 Codzilla – hilarious comment! 🙂
“want me to call you a hilbilly or country bumkin”
Well, since I live in what is called the Lowcountry (flat, no hills at all) and I live in a city, not the country, that wouldn’t really make any sense, would it?
And yes, I do use the term yankee. Sorry if you find it offensive.
“Thats part of the reason i wont return….& b/c everything to eat down there is dipped in a deep fryer.”
That’s fine. Enjoy your snow; we’ll enjoy our beaches and sunny weather without you.
And if you think everything down here is dipped in a deep fryer, then you are just ridiculous. Some foods, sure. But most of our regional cuisine isn’t fried.
I think what you meant to say was “while I was there, everything I ordered by choice was deep fried”
And I personally prefer the food down here; it’s much healthier (being along the coast line we get the best seafood…mmm! Lots of farm country, so we get the freshest produce…mmm!) when I visit the north I go to the grocery store to buy my own food and cook for myself because I can’t stand having my hamburgers cooked in Crisco or having a cookout referred to as a bar-b-que.
I love my northern friends and family, but I’ll happily keep the south, thank you very much.
To the Yankee who didn’t like Myrtle Beach ‘cuz of the fried food: McDonalds and Burger King are nation wide food chains and they deep fry their crap to make it edible. Just ’cause we have them here in the South doesn’t mean they have “Southern food”. If you’re in the south and you’re not eatin’ cornbread and fresh veggies or suckin’ on a giant crawfish or shrimp than you’re not eatin’ southern food sweetie, just some damn Yankee’s version of southern food. And just so ya know, we keep those craptacular deep fried food joints along the borders to keep those tourists around thinkin’ they’re eatin’ some “local cuisine” while keepin’ those Yankee dollars here in the South. Bless your heart.
I agree with Codzilla, there is really no need to go to war again here. The South already lost.
Mmmmmmm deep-fried possum in molasses sauce, boy-howdy!
I just wanted to join in, but I have no idea what I just said. 😀
Who really cares? She’s just some bad pop singer. No talent whatsoever and a brain of a 2 year old. What’s to idolize?
she sucks when you to a concert you want to hear live music if you want to see a circus you would go a circus if you wanted to see magic treat you would go to a magic show , but when you go to a concert you expect to hear live music take away her mixing equitment and the bitch cant carry a tune!only an idiot would pay to go see her fake singing (ok so im not a fan) o and taken your sons on tour maken them watch your show over and over must tourcherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
and she still sucks
