Britney’s first show in Australia was just hours ago in Perth and it’s already bringing up trouble for the pop princess…
Now Britney’s “Circus Tour”, the first she’s taking to Aussie land, is subject of the government that is pissed about the pop princess is lip-syncing in portions of the concert.
The Minister for Fair Trading for New South Wales state (the state where Sydney is located in), Virginia Judge, said she is considering options to make sure prospective concertgoers won’t be misled when buying tickets to the show: “It is Britney’s ‘prerogative’ to lip-sync, and it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front.” – she said on a document released by the government earlier today.
One of the minister’s idea is to include in the tickets that portions of the show are “pre-recorded”, but this government measure shouldn’t take a huge effect on the “Circus Tour” in Australia, since most of the dates are already sould out according to People Magazine.
“Personally I would rather see a live set from a local artist,” Judge said, “but I am sure Britney’s fans will be treated to a spectacular show.”
“Australians would not tolerate a ‘Mickey Mouse performance,’ Victoria Judge told Sydney’s Daily Telegraph. “Let’s be clear: Live means live. If you are spending up to 200 (australian) dollars, I think you deserve better than a film clip.”
Some attendants also expressed their angriness over the lip-synced concert: “We are really big Britney fans, but it was crap. I thought after the music awards she would make up for it with a wicked concert, but she has let us down.” A fan told Australia’s News Limited newspapers.

Britney Spears is reportedly going to shoot her concert at The Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on September 26 and 27. That’s for the upcoming dvd of the tour, but, DVD in Vegas, again?
Anyway, Perez Hilton reports that the filming will be quite special. Insiders told him it will most likely to be shot in 3D!
Rumors has it the concert will go 3D in theaters! Something quite similar to what U2 and Miley Cyrus have done in early 2008 and The Jonas Brothers did earlier this year. From the 3D movies concert trio, Miley Cyrus 3D concert grossed the most at theaters, approx. $71 million.
Britannica, nickname of the webmaster of Britney’s official label site Britney.com, did not confirm or disconfirmed the news posted by Perez. She just said he didn’t ruin her upcoming surprise for Britney fans and even made a joke stating that Perez source is his so called friend Lady GaGa…
