International Pop Star Britney Spears is on a comeback mission. In fact,  she’s been so inspired by Indian culture (or perhaps simply cashing in on the success of Slumdog Millionaire) that on her recent Circus tour she threw in some Bollywood moves revamping “Me Against the Music” (previously a duet with Madonna) into a Bollywood item number wearing a Bollywood inspired costume smiliar to Deepika Padukone’s in the song “Dhoom Tana” from Om Shanti Om.

A few members of the International press have aptly dubbed the tour “Cirque du Skanky” because as usual the star was just too busy to sing. Between the numerous costume changes (almost all of which left her bottomless) there were lots of shenanigans involving karate, magic, biker boys, and general push ups she just about managed to lip-sync in time.

It’s also kind of shame that (although I’ve never been a huge Britney Barbie fan) she used to be able to bust a move (not to mention flip her hair as evident in the tours promotional video with clips from way back when) with some snap. Not sure what happened but somebody please give Stella here her groove back.
