Britney Spears is out on a Big Tour, supporting Circus. You may have known that. Also, her love life is all over the place! You may have known that, too. But if one steps back and surveys the vast pityscape that is the Britney Spears nation, one might notice there's a whole lot going down, and we do mean down. Let's sift through this in bullet-point form, shall we?
+ First of all, who's she bumping britney's with? When the Circus tour began, word was that Britney was getting it on with a dancer named Geo. Then, rumors shifted her interest from Geo to a dude named Chase Benz. Now, the gossip is that she's engaged to a guy named John Sundahl, who proposed to her in a Santa Monica Subway (yes, the sandwich shop) with a multi-million dollar ring. The supposed wedding will take place on an estate in Germany. Britney's people are bitterly denying this turn of events, which means it's probably true. [NY Daily News]
+ And that Circus tour? May not go on as long as planned. The tour has completed about half of the scheduled 49 dates in the US, Canada and the UK. The plan was to then take the show to Europe and Australia, and then perhaps back to the US for another swing. "It hasn't yet been determined whether it's feasible to expand tours to the Europe or Australia legs." Who said that? Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz. Britney's dad Jamie sort of legally controls her, remember? So he needs to seek permission from a judge. And that judge needs to see numbers before giving any tour extension his blessing. This is crazy. [People]
+ But wait, there's more: The Circus tour goes positively Spinal Tappy the other night in San Jose, when Britney asked "What's up, Sacramento?" The San Jose crowd probably couldn't give her a definitive answer. Oh and this article claims that Kevin Federline has been on tour and that he and Britney are "like newlyweds" all over again.

+ Also, poor Brit's gotten mixed up in some Jamie Foxx haterade. Foxx unleashed a tirade of epic proportions against Miley Cyrus. Fine, unless you're Miley, right? Right, unless you're Britney. Foxx unloaded an avalanche of negative wishes, including one that Miley "get like Britney Spears and do some heroin." Jamie! There are kids in the room! He's since apologized, blah blah blah.

+ And finally, the ultimate indignity: "Britney" has been surpassed by "Twitter" on the Google search terms list of rankings. Next thing you know, "Anoop" will leave her in the dust. [WaPo]
