Last night Britney Spears returned to the stage, kicking off her Femme Fatale tour in California, and Tweeting this photo backstage with her boyfriend of two years, Jason Trawick. The caption: "It's Opening Night BITCH!!!!" The 29-year-old landed the amazing Nikki Minaj as her opener on the tour—it may seem like an odd pairing, but the two did collaborate (with Ke$ha, no less) on Brit Brit's new "Til The End of the World" remix—which will soundtrack the inevitable localized Jersey Shore apocalypse.

I suspect we have similar interests, but in truth, I'd probably hate most of them, the way I hated the ladies who kept talking during the 12:20PM Bend It Like Beckham last Sunday. more ›
