This time, though, Spears appears poised for a true return. According to E! Online, the singer, who said last month that she planned to hit the road to support her upcoming Circus album, has signed a deal with major promoter AEG Live to produce her new stage show.
E!’s unnamed source did not say when an official announcement would be made — and reps for Spears and AEG Live could not be reached for comment by MTV News at press time — but given Spears’ comments on New York’s Z100 a few weeks ago that she hopes to tour the world in 2009, the reported hookup makes sense. AEG is the same company that booked sold-out multi-night runs for Prince and the Spice Girls at the O2 Arena in London and recently handled sold-out world tours for Bon Jovi and Justin Timberlake.
Spears appears to have overcome some of the personal problems that caused her life and career to veer off the tracks in recent years and has already made a strong comeback bid with the seductive video for “Womanizer,” the first single from Circus. The clip, in which Spears appears naked, has been too-hot-to-handle for some outlets, and some fans have already predicted the success of Britney 2.0.
