BRITNEY'S CIRCUS TOUR DANCERS SAY HELLO FROM LONDON!!!

THEY TOOK BRITNEY'S ADVISE AND GOT NAKED!!

To celebrate their last North American performance in Montreal, Britney's male dancers took the ringleader's advice and.... got naked! As a prank, they stripped down into pink briefs for 'Boys' and 'If U Seek Amy.' Their briefs even say "True Brit" on the waistband!

Check out the sexy and hilarious gallery from Tuesday's show in Montreal after the jump.

MAN JUMPS ON STAGE DURING BRITNEY'S CONCERT AT MOHEGAN SUN ARENA IN UNCASVILLE, CONNECTICUT

Not only did Spears fall while dancing during Get Naked, but one overzealous and disrespectful fan also rushed the stage during the encore!

“This guy ran across the stage and towards Britney during Womanizer,” one of many Perezcious readers in attendance tells us. “He attempted to dance with Britney!”

Spears did not find it amusing and luckily her dancers got him off the stage quickly, where he was promptly detained - and we’re assuming arrested. However, “Britney looked extremely spooked.”

Poor Britney.

Have some class, y’all. Don’t frighten the performers like that!

BRITNEY REQUESTS A STRIPPERS' POLE FOR HER LONDON HOTEL ROOM DURING UPCOMING TOUR

The Britney Spears circus is well and truly underway in London. The Dorchester Hotel is already making plans for her arrival at the start of June. The singer has asked for a stripper’s pole to be installed in her favorite suite in the top hotel so she can work out between shows during the appropriately named Circus tour. Hardly the most orthodox request they’re likely to have received at the five-star hotel.

A source said: 'Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favorite work out. 'She gets the toning that she needs without having to hit the gym, and she wants to be able to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room. 'Keeping fit on the tour is very important as her show is full of rigorous dance routines, so Britney likes to do her pole dancing work out every morning when she gets up.' The 27-year-old star, who is known for her love of 'good old-fashioned cuisine' (or junk food), has also asked for a cook from the Nando’s restaurant chain to be on hand for the duration of her visit to whip her up some spicy chicken when she feels like it.

The last time Britney was in town she gorged on Domino’s pizza instead of eating in any of London’s fancy restaurants. Britney is also planning a huge private shopping spree in Topshop while she is in town. She is making arrangements for Sir Philip Green to open the store especially for her and her dancers so they can stock up on a new wardrobe with no other customer vying for the bargains. Britney is set to perform eight dates at London's O2 Arena from June 3, before moving on to Manchester and continuing in Europe. The singer announced this week she would be expanded her UK and North American tour to the rest of Europe and hoped to include dates across Asia and Australasia.

Her last tour in the UK, the Black Onyx Hotel tour, came to a premature end when Britney injured her knee on a video shoot. She had also just started dating her now ex-husband Kevin Federline and told friends she wanted to end the tour so they could spend more time together. Meanwhile, the pop star has recently denied reports she was pregnant with her third child. American Idol host Ryan Seacrest claimed 'reliable sources' told him Britney, who is mother to Sean Preston, three; and Jayden James, two, was expecting. However, her manager Adam Leber said: 'She's absolutely not pregnant. I have no idea where this ridiculous rumor came from.'

BRITNEY'S PARTY IN VEGAS

After her show on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Britney had a party with the Pussycat Dolls as well as her dancers, aerialists, circus performers and other tour friends. The party took place at a family friend's condo at the Palms Hotel. Brett, Britney's assistant, said the DJ was fantastic, and superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold stopped by to visit. There was cotton candy everywhere, as well as lots of miniature snacks and desserts. The condo had an amazing view of Las Vegas - party goers could see the entire city!

VIDEO BRITNEY SPEARS CONCERT DANCERS DANCE OFF IN TORONTO

GIRLS ALOUD HQ VIDEO OF PERFORMANCE FOR BRITNEY'S WOMANIZER

Girls Aloud opened their Out of Control Tour yesterday tonight at Manchester in the UK, and they chose to cover Womanizer by Britney Spears. The dancers as the ladies puppets are a very interesting interpretation of the song. I think they have done Britney well.

BRITNEY'S CHOREOGRAPHY MIGHT BE CATCHIN' UP TO HER

The Britney Spears Circus Tour seems to be taking its toll on the Pop Tart. Britneys' choreography, which includes high-flying and spinning while being dangled from umbrellas, ropes, other dancers...you name it, has caused the singer to race off stage and vomit. We must all respect the Britney Resurrection and applaud how tough this girl really is. I for one understand her completely do to the fact that I can't even spin around on my own chair without getting dizzy as hell.

BRITNEY BAFFLED BY MILLIONAIRE'S ENGAGEMENT CLAIMS

Britney Spears is baffled and bemused by a property millionaire's bizarre claims he's engaged to the pop superstar.

Just weeks after the supposedly-single singer was romantically linked with a dancer on her Circus comeback tour, 40-year-old land developer John Sundahl claims he has been dating Spears on and off since they met in rehab in 2007, and the pair is planning a spring (09) wedding in Germany.

The story originates from an interview Sundahl's personal pilot Lance Chase gave to the National Enquirer.

Chase told the tabloid, "Britney and John used to date, but they reconnected after her show in New Jersey, and now they're engaged.

He got down on one knee in a Subway sandwich shop in Santa Monica (California) a week ago and proposed with a $4.5 million (£3 million) marquise-cut diamond.

They plan on getting married at his aunt's farm in Germany in six weeks."

When approached by the New York Daily News to verify the story, Sundahl backed it up, saying, "Britney doesn't want to do anything until the tour is over. She wants press for her tour and not for an engagement."

But the wedding plans are news to Spears, who divorced second husband Kevin Federline in 2007.

Ridiculing Sundahl's claims, her representative tells the newspaper, "Britney is not engaged.

She did not get proposed to at Subway - she is currently on tour - she is not getting married on a farm in Germany.

Oh, and she has not been abducted by aliens."

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: BRITNEY'S EASTER BRUNCH

The brunch took place on the roof of the Hotel Valencia in San Jose, California. The hotel catered salad, chicken, veggies, fruit and other brunch treats. Britney and her dancers ate, laughed, listened to music from the street below, told stories and had a great time!

SOMETHING NEW BEING ADDED TO BRITNEY'S CIRCUS TOUR?

BRITNEY GOES CLUBBIN' IN DALLAS

All of Britney’s dancers, band, circus performers, hair and makeup artists, management, tour management and more joined her to relax and celebrate their hard work on the tour. From the pictures below, it looks like they had a great time!

AUSTRALIAN BRITNEY FANS WIN CONTEST TO MEET BRIT IN JAPAN

Talk about the ideal Christmas present! These two Australian Britney fans, Laura and Kleo, entered a contest to win the chance to meet Britney Spears. All they had to do was explain in 25 words or less why they deserved the chance to meet Brit (easier said then done when you're competing with a world full of fans)... but they won! The two gorgeous girls flew in to Japan from Australia, all expenses paid. They got to meet Britney and talk with her (video coming soon) and also met Larry, Wade, Amanda, the make up peeps and stylist and all the dancers before Britney's performance on NTV's Best Artist 2008. They took some pics on red carpet and got to watch Britney's performance up close. Oh, and we've been getting a lot of emails asking for the dancers' names, so since it's Christmas, and the time for giving.... the dancers' names from left to right are... Devin, Frances, Jose, Brooke, Alex and JP.

BRITNEY LEAVING DANCE STUDIO

Britney Spears looked mostly at ease as she hit the road after casting dancers at a Los Angeles area dance studio on Sunday night. Britney was surprisingly with a mystery female instead of her usual assistant, and carefully checked her blind spot before pulling into traffic. With her first arena tour in five years set to kick off March 3 in New Orleans, LA, Britney is not wasting any time preparing for a show that manager Larry Rudolph promises fans to be “something they will never forget.”

IS BRITNEY DATING BENJI MADDEN?

Gotta admit that people just looove gossip. When I heard this surreal rumor that Britney was supposedly dating Benji Madden, I didn't know if to say "Yeah Right!" or "What the hell did they smoke?"

According to In Touch magazine, Britney Spears has another lover in her life, and this time it is not a paparazzo or the backup dancer, but Paris Hiltons' former boyfriend-Benji Madden. Friends of the Womanizer singer say that they have been out in a few dates, and that even had dinner at luxurious Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, where they had a romantic dinner and fell in love for each other. (Don't know when to stop laughing really!!!) Another imaginary friend says that she likes Benji a lot, a mutual feeling that The Good Charlotte band member has.

To read the rest of this amazing story (talking in the creative sense of course) don't forget to purchase your copy of In Touch Weekly, out on stands now.
