OOPS! I'VE DONE IT NOW

TROUBLED Britney Spears’ British comeback came crashing down after her shambolic behaviour over the weekend.

Fans branded her return a “slap in the face” and a “disaster” after her live performance on the X Factor.

She stumbled and mimed her way through her much-hyped appearance.

And thousands of fans who queued at London nightclub G-A-Y were left disappointed after she refused to take to the stage sparking chaos.

The only thing Britney, 26, did manage to do well was blow out the candles on a cake before her birthday tomorrow.

Then the embarrassed star tried to hide her face, disguised in sunglasses, trilby hat and a duffel coat as she slipped out of the country early yesterday.

Despite helping X Factor pull in its biggest ratings of the series, almost 13million, Brit lip-synched her way through new single Womanizer during the results show, which drew 11m viewers – another record. But her act left the audience, which included Kate Moss, 34, and James Cordon, 30, disappointed.

James told Xtra Factor host Holly Willoughby: “The song sounded great but I have already got the CD so I don’t need to see somebody come out and mime it.”

The singer then went to G-A-Y but fans were angry when she refused to go on stage.

All hell broke loose when the organiser Michael Mitchell told the crowd: “You can boo all you like, she’s not coming. Now it’s time to leave.”

Britney then hot-footed it to a nearby bar with pals who presented her with a cake.

Simon Martin, 22, from London, was in the crowd at G-A-Y and said he thought he was going to get crushed to death.

Last night furious fans wrote on gossip websites called her no-show “another slap in the face for Europe” and “an absolute disaster”. X Factor insiders described her visit as shambolic. The contestants were banned from even seeing her.

Her disastrous appearances came as Britney gives her version of her public breakdown in a documentary tonight.

Last night Britney’s spokesman Shoshanna Stone denied claims it had been a bad weekend. She said Britney had had a fantastic time and hit back at reports she snubbed her fans at G-A-Y.

She said: “Contrary to reports, Britney Spears was never booked to perform or even appear at G-A-Y. She was invited to the evening but was never asked to perform.

“Following her incredible X Factor performance Britney took up the invite and relaxed among friends.”

Oh, so some of her fans will admit it was a bad performance then.

maybe those who were complaining at G.A.Y should have been told how much money britneys agent would have charged them if she did perform. they would probably be too intoxicated to understand anyway. britney shall never perform whether it be mime or live without receiving the megabucks she deserves. its the media who have placed her in this position. along with the paparazzi. no matter what people say about her. she never asked for any of this. she just got it. now her agent shall demand megabucks for everything. whether it be an interview. or a performance. maybe britney never wanted to perform live on the x factor. maybe she has just had enough right now. just leave the real live performances to her concerts. when she decides to do them. and those who wish to pay the megabucks ticket charges can get to see her sing live. but the concert shall surely end up on dvd anyway. so why pay out megabucks. especially with the credit crunch sitting firmly in our laps. but die hard fans will. and why not. if they love her. then go to the concerts. if you love her. then see her mime on shows like the x factor. britney spears is back.
