Britney Spears wrapped up the North American leg of her “Circus” tour this past weekend, and the country breathed a collective sigh of relief. Though she still has a few dates to perform in Australia, it’s safe to say that Britney managed to pull off her tour. No meltdowns. No major drama. She did a good job, got mostly decent reviews, and has now made significant headway in her comeback.

BRITNEY SPEARS’ Circus has packed up and headed out of town.
The pop princess concluded the North American leg of her World Tour by playing two dates in Las Vegas over the weekend.

MEL B, MILEY CYRUS and BARRY MANILOW were spotted among thousands of fans who watched the singer in action at the Mandalay Theater.

The singer will now head Down Under for six dates in 18 days which will bring the curtain down on the whole Circus Tour.

Britney found time in between her Vegas gigs to splash out £2,000 in a candy store with her two boys JAYDEN JAMES and SEAN PRESTON.

A source told People: “She got a bunch of candy and shirts for her kids and got a bunch of the couture lollipops to give to her backup dancers.

£2,000 is about $3,100 of candy. I don’t care how many t-shirts and fancy lollipops Britney bought for her dancers, $3,100 at a candy store is still shocking. I’d really be curious to know how much she spent on her sons. Something tells me Brit’s never placed much of a priority on nutrition and healthy eating habits with her kids. What the Sun didn’t mention is that Britney’s maybe boyfriend/maybe ex (and definitely current manager) Jason Trawick was also at the candy store with her. They haven’t been seen together in a long time and he was spotted out and about with another woman in mid-August. Are Brit and Jason together, or was he just there in an agent capacity?

Britney ended her Vegas show on quite a high note – she gave Lance Bass a lap dance.

Britney Spears concluded the American leg of her wildly-successful Circus tour at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday by giving former ‘N Sync heartthrob Lance Bass a tawdry lap dance on stage.

During her rendition of Breathe on Me, Britney called the 30-year-old Bass out of the audience and gave the fresh-faced DWTS alum a sexy bump-n-grind.

Bass was among a slew of celebrities that caught the Womanizer singer in Sin City for the shows; also spotted in the audience throughout the weekend were Barry Manilow, Miley Cyrus and Mel B.

I’m assuming Lance knew that was going to happen, or it could have been quite embarrassing. Britney does that in all of her concerts with an audience member, but presumably she asked Lance if he wanted to be a part of it. No videos have turned up on YouTube yet, but I sure hope they do. Lance and Britney have known each other forever – she used to open up for NSYNC back in the day. A lot of people in his position might have found themselves very uncomfortable. Presumably Britney gave him a $50 lollipop and sent him on his way.
