Britney returns with Circus tour

Dressed as a sexy ringmaster and directing a colorful cast that included jugglers, acrobats and martial arts dancers, Britney Spears delivered a tightly choreographed, if perfunctory performance on Tuesday night as she kicked off her first concert tour in five years.

The 27-year-old pop superstar's Circus tour kicked off in her home state of Louisiana at the New Orleans Arena before a nearly sold-out crowd that cheered on their idol as she gyrated and slithered across the stage while singing some of her biggest hits, from the recent Womanizer to her first and now classic song, Baby One More Time.
