To mark her 27th birthday, Britney Spears announced her 2009 tour, set to be her return to music. The 35-date North American & United Kingdom tour, aptly entitled, “The Circus Starring Britney Spears” will be the first tour for Spears in over four years.
With the exception of a few random performances and a short-lived attempt at a “comeback” in 2007, the singer has been relatively quiet when it comes to her career. But over the past few years, Spears’ personal life has been the focus of the media and public’s attention. With a marriage, divorce, birth of two children, rehab, custody battles and countless breakdowns and bizarre moments, people had nearly given up on the pop icon and continually referred to her story as a tragedy. Thankfully, with the help of her father, she got her feet back on the ground and headed back to the studio to write and record her latest album.
“Circus” is Spears’ sixth studio album, but certainly the most highly-anticipated of her career to date. Her kick off single “Womanizer” quickly became her first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 since her debut “…Baby One More Time” in 1998, and gained the status of largest opening-week downloads, with 286,000, according to Neilsen SoundScan.
With the whole world rooting for her, Spears will kick-off her “circus” with opening act The Pussycat Dolls in her home-state of Louisiana on March 3, 2009. With a string of Canadian dates intertwined and a 7-date stretch at the O2 Dome in London, UK, The Circus Starring Britney Spears is set to be a record-breaking revival tour!

John Alexandrov asked:
Scientists, psychologists and economists are working together these days to study and promote a new economic theory called “Neuroeconomics.” Neuroeconomics combines neuroscience, economics and psychology to study how we make financial choices. It looks at the role of the brain when we evaluate decisions, categorize risks and rewards and interact with each other.
Britney Spears is a prime candidate for the study of neuroeconomics. After all, wouldn’t you like to know what is going on “in her brain” as she is making the decision to put her children at risk, her career at risk and her life at risk? It’s easy for us to sit back and say, “I would never do that. If I had what Britney has, I would be set for life.”
The Neuroeconomists are discovering something different however. They are discovering how our brain acts independently at times. How our brains can make seemingly “irrational” choices as compared to the risks or rewards before us. And how our brains produce certain chemicals when we are emotional or traumatized that creates a false sense of risk or lack thereof.
The current state of the US economy is a reflection of what neuroscientists and neuroeconomists are discovering. Right now people are asking, “Who in their right mind would have bought a house in the past 3 years when property values were skyrocketing and then finance that home purchase with a negative amortization loan”? Well, hundreds of thousands of people made that decision and science is showing why…
From “Addiction and Cue-Triggered Decision Processes”
By B. DOUGLAS BERNHEIM AND ANTONIO RANGEL
“Research indicates that addictive substances systematically interfere with the proper operation of an important process which the brain uses to forecast near-term hedonic rewards (pleasure), and this leads to strong, misguided, cue-triggered impulses that often defeat higher cognitive control. As a matter of formal mathematics, our model is tractable and involves a small departure from the standard framework. It generates a plausible mapping from the characteristics of the user, substance, and environment to dynamic behavior. It accounts for a number of important patterns associated with addiction, gives rise to a clear welfare standard, and has novel implications for public policy.”
“It is natural to wonder whether the model applies not just to addictive substances, but also to other problematic behaviors such as overeating or compulsive shopping. These questions are currently the subject of study among neuro-scientists and psychologists… Notably, people who suffer from pathological gambling, overeating, compulsive shopping, and kleptomania describe their experience as involving strong and often overwhelming cravings, they respond to cues such as stress and advertisements, and they exhibit cycles of binges and abstention.”
Our economic choices are not predominantly rational, they are emotional. That’s why we have swings in markets, almost as if collectively as a society we are manic depressive; sky high one day and down in the dumps the next.
So give Britney a break. Believe it or not she is making the same choices millions of other people would be making in the same situation. Her brain isn’t functioning rationally because she lives in an irrational world. Money pouring in (and out), paparazzi everywhere, pressure from her parents and managers, criticism from the public, the loss of her marriage.
How would you be “acting” in those circumstances? Are you sure?

Penny Lane asked:
For my speech class we are in groups, and our theme is the different stages of Britney Spears (ie. innocent, oops I did it again, mom, crazy addict). My job is to come up with a tongue twister. I want something funny that the class will laugh at but I’m having a hard time thinking of one myself! Any ideas?

Benny asked:
Someone asked would you rather have Britney or a fig tree?
Someone asked would you rather have Britney or a fig tree?
Everyone said Britney Spears and so would I….but I gave a reason.
I said I would want Britney spears because she is fun, we could walk around in skirts with no underwear, shave our heads and buy blond wigs and then make a song asking people do they want a piece of us.
Why did I get thumbs down?

Not much asked:
Can you tell me a little bit about Britney Spears when she was younger. I believe I heard she was on Disney Channel. What else was she just like how Miley is right now? Did she have racy photos as a 15 year old? Did everyone know she would be the ‘next’ big one? Tell me everything please. Links and youtubes provided please.
Lastly what did you think of her video “womanizer?

Vanilla meltdown asked:
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the the world news yesterday. Bad news at wall street, good news thought is that Britney Spears’ troubles have been keeping giving them hope for our economy. It was reported that when she is on a magazine, money flies into the economy because of sales. Bush is doing a fine job when a crazy pop star gives us hope. Don’t you think?

I know that sounds weird, but I have an audition in January and I need to be in the best shape possible. I’m 5′3″ and 130 lbs. I’m not fat by any means, but need to do serious toning. Ideally I’d love to sculpt my body to look like that of Britney Spears in her “Slave 4 U” days…What kind of diet and exercise routine should I begin?

just a quiet person asked:
How can I get a body like 2002 Britney Spears? She was very trim that year (that was the year she wore the see through sparkle sequin outfit at the MTV awards). I am 5′4 and weigh 180 pounds. What should I be eating daily (an example please) and how often should I work out, how long and what exercises should I do?
