Britney Spears is going down under. The American pop princess, who just completed a successful run at London's O2 Arena, is taking her sold out "The Circus starring Britney Spears" tour to Australia.

After awaiting the approval from her legal team to extend the tour, Spears will pack up her "Circus" troupe for the first stop, at Perth Burswood Dome on Friday, November 6th.

Britney Spears grew up in a violent household, her uncle has claimed. The "Womanizer" singer - who famously shaved her head and spent time in rehab following a breakdown - reportedly witnessed her father Jamie Spears regularly flying into drunken rages at their family home when she was a small child.

Her uncle Willie Spears - who is Jamie's brother - revealed in Steve Dennis' new book "Britney: Inside the Dream": "I was at the house and Jamie walked in drunk and called Lynne a bad name.

Britney Spears allegedly binged on tequila shots moments before her disastrous performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

The "Toxic" singer - who had months earlier entered rehab after shaving her head - had been planning her routine at the prestigious event for months to prove to the world she had fully recovered from her personal problems.

Britney Spears is planning a week of raunchy London parties. The "Womanizer" singer - who kicks off the U.K. leg of her "Circus" tour at the city's O2 arena tomorrow - has hired naked acrobats, topless burlesque performers and dancing dwarves to perform after each of her eight shows.

Minutes after the 27-year-old star finishes her last racy number, Club Dada will open at the arena's indig02 venue. By the time Britney arrives, the party is expected to be in full swing, and is likely to continue until the early hours of the morning.

Britney Spears has released a spoof video to promote a new fake scent for gay people.

The "If You Seek Amy" singer - who has several successful fragrances - pokes fun at her career as a perfumer in the short clip for fragrance 'Mo', a term of endearment in the gay community.

Britney Spears has been taking parenting advice from Madonna. The "Toxic" singer has revealed she consulted her idol - who raises three children - when deciding whether or not to take her young sons, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, on tour with her.
