VIDEO: Britney Spears’ Dazzling Femme Fatale Costumes

“It’s opening night, bitch!!!!” Britney Spears tweeted before her Femme Fatale tour kicked off in Sacramento, Calif. Thursday.

The good news for Britney is that early reviews of the tour are glowing! Performing a mix of her greatest hits (ToxicI’m a Slave 4 U) and new songs (I wanna Go, Big Fat Bass), Spears razzle dazzled in one brilliant and skimpy costume after another.

Rolling Stone described the opener as “her flashiest, fastest moving, and most entertaining production yet.” The mag also said tour-opener Nicki Minaj brought her A-game. But, “the night belonged to Britney: She managed to prove that she’s still progressing as a showgirl. Not only that, she’s doing it better than even die-hard defenders would’ve predicted.”

Watch the video below showing some of the many elaborate costumes. Welcome back Brit!

Video: Britney Spears To Jackass Crew: “I Am Not Afraid Of Poopoo!”

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

It was vile. It was gooey. It was probably way too smelly. It was pure Johnny Knoxville. Except, it wasn’t. It was Britney Spears instead, wearing goggles and getting into a porta potty to film a sketch for Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday.

Knoxville was a guest on Jimmy’s show and told the host that the 29-year old pop princess was in Jackass 3D but that the stunt was cut out of the movie. So, Jimmy showed the so-called deleted scene and well, you can see it for yourself but be prepared to gag! I mean, any video featuring the Jackass crew, a porta potty, a bungee, and a Britney admitting she’s not “afraid of poopoo” is self explanatory. Watch the Poo Cocktail Supreme below:

Video: Britney Spears Performs At Secret Las Vegas Shows

Britney Spears performed at two not-so-secret shows Friday night at the Palms Casino Resort’s Rain Nightclub in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The concerts were supposed to be a secret and were not announced until the day of the event when Brit took to Twitter:

“Looks like my little secret isnt a secret anymore. Whos coming to watch me take the stage TONIGHT at @RainLasVegas at @PalmsLasVegas?” 

Brit first performed a private show at 8 p.m., followed by a midnight concert open to the general public with tickets selling for $60. The 45-minute set featured tracks from her upcoming Femme Fatale album and was shot by MTV for a special to coincide with the release of her album.
During the shows, Britney had several costume and set changes and Jersey Shore‘s Pauly D entertained and warmed up the quaint crowd of about 1,000 before the festivities started. Britney performed Hold It Against MeBig Fat Bass and Till The World Ends.

This was Brit’s first pulic performance since her Circus tour in 2009. Her boyfriend Jason Trawick was on the scene as was her dad, Jamie Spears.

Femme Fatale will be released next week. Watch her performance from Friday night below:
