Britney Spears is kicking off her first tour in five years promoting her latest hit album Circus before an adoring hometown audience with jugglers, acrobats 1, rings of flame and lip syncing(1). The pop star is in the process of a major comeback after a high-profile meltdown that included stints 2 in psychiatric care, an ugly divorce, shaving her head and partying without panties. The Circus-theme tour makes stops in 44 cities.
