Britney's back and fit to burst as she wows Las Vegas in a very tight bodysuit for her first live performance in over a year She's been out of the pop limelight playing the doting mother and living the homebody lifestyle for the past year. But you can't keep a good pop star down for long - as Britney Spears proved last night. The singer took to the stage in Las Vegas last night for her first live performance since the end of her The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour in November 2009.
And if she had any apprehension about being somewhat rusty upon returning to the stage, she certainly didn't show it as she sent her fans into a frenzy. Britney, 29, was back to her pop star finest as she strutted onto the stage in a sexy black leather bodysuit, which showed off her curvaceous figure. She was literally bursting out of the outfit as she treated her screaming audience to a selection of songs from her upcoming new album Femme Fatale, which is released next Tuesday.
The mini concert started with a montage of her best video moments, which hyped up the crowd, before she came on stage and launched into her new single, Hold It Against Me, flanked by army fatigue-clad dancers. She then gave her fan a debut performance of the will.i.am produced track Big Fat Bass, which was remixed to included some of her older hits including Slave 4 U and Gimme More. Britney, who was thoroughly enjoying being under the spotlight again, smiled and sashayed for her fans, as she sang her second single from the album, Till The World Ends.
Toward the end of the show, Britney was snapped gyrating and writing around on large speakers that dotted the stage and she also made a quick costume change into a white bodysuit as neon letters spelling out the name of her new album, flashed above her head. The show was being taped for MTV for a special for the music channel which will be aired next week.
It also turned out to be a surprise for her fans who had been expecting her to make her live comeback in San Francisco tomorrow night.
The Las Vegas gig was supposed to be a secret, but after rumours began to circulate, Britney took to her Twitter page on Friday to announce: 'Looks like my little secret isn't a secret anymore... You're all invited. Be there or be square b****!'
Britney Spears' former bodyguard claims he has the embarrassing nude pictures the singer sent him from her mobile phone to lure him into her bed.
Fernando Flores has told pals he will use the "filthy" snaps in court to back his 9 million pounds sexual harassment lawsuit against the singer, reports the Sun.
"They are really explicit images that will shock and disgust the majority of her fans," said a friend of Flores, who claims to have seen the pictures.
"Fernando says he can prove the photos were taken on Britney''s phone and sent to his mobile.
"He says she sent them last April when she was coming on to him on a daily basis. He left the following month.
"Some of the pictures show Britney with the camera between her legs. Others show her in provocative positions wearing lingerie.
"There are a few where she is naked, exposing herself in a way that she clearly hoped would make him aroused," he added.
Mum-of-two Britney, 29, however, denies the claims. Her lawyers want the case heard behind closed doors or else "there is a real possibility that Ms Spears will be exposed to danger by the release of confidential and personal information
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Britney Spears is back! The pop princess debuted the music video for her new single, "Hold It Against Me," on MTV and Vevo.com on Thursday night -- and the sexy singer definitely brought her A-game!
PLAY IT NOW: Music Video Sneak Peek: Britney Spears - 'Hold It Against Me'
In the video -- ripe with fast cuts and mutliple glaring product placements (including her fragrance Radiance, Makeup Forever, Sony, and the online dating site PlentyOfFish.com) -- a lean, glammed-up Britney is seen prowling around the futuristic space, surrounded by various TV equipment and rocking a white bridal-esque gown, before slowly ascending toward the ceiling. Brit then shows off her famous abs in her signature white midriff-baring crop-top and her itty-bitty denim cut-off shorts.
Next, it's a Britney-on-Britney catfight as the singer appears to wage war on... herself (in stilettos, or course), before shooting neon-colored paint at the surrounding TV monitors from her fingertips, flinging color all over her formerly pristine white gown (think: Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair). Brit also rocks a black leather mini-dress for the video's high-energy dance sequence.

Back in January, "Hold It's" choreographer Brian Friedman - the mastermind behind the superstar's "Boys" and "Me Against the Music" moves - teased fans by announcing he was excited to "get [Britney] dancing really hard again." "She's had a couple of years where she's been dancing different styles of dance and it hasn't been me," Brian told MTV News at the time. "It's not necessarily that she hasn't been dancing, it hasn't been what I get from her, and what I seem to get from her is this tigress quality. And she prowls.
"She really dominates when she does my choreography, and that's what I wanted to get back," he added. The choreographer faced a bit of heat from Britney's legions of fans on Thursday (after a 30-second teaser for the video was released) who felt Britney's footwork didn't live up to Brian's boasting.
"Britney Fans... I DIDNT edit or direct the video so please do not place hostility at me if you aren't happy with what you have seen or see," Brian Tweeted on Thursday. "Britney worked her a-- off for this video and she and I hope that you all love it.
"Thank U every1 4 the support :)," he later added. "I haven't seen the vid yet, all I know is how Brit was on set & she was FAB! FEMME FATALE will be incredible!"
"Hold It Against Me" is the first single from Brit's upcoming album, "Femme Fatale," which is slated to drop March 29.
