This Just In: Britney Spears Lip-Syncs!
OMG! Britney Spears does not sing live! Australia is just now getting this memo issued in 2003, apparently. Do you even get the Internet down there, mates?
Britney just arrived down under Thursday, but already she's the subject of government scrutiny over the fact that she'll be lip-synching portions of her shows.
Government scrutiny. What a great country. If this is what their elected officials have to worry about, we're living in the wrong place. Sydney here we come!
No, seriously. This is a real story. Virginia Judge, Minister for Fair Trading for New South Wales, said she is considering options to make sure fans aren't misled.
Britney's Circus tour tickets are going for more than $1,300, and while "it is Britney's 'prerogative' to lip-sync, it is my job to make sure consumers know what they are paying for up front," Judge said in a statement released by the government.
OMG WHAT? Britney doesn't sing live? Devastating and shocking.
One idea is to require disclaimers indicating that portions will be pre-recorded. They should also warn about expletive-laden tirades and wardrobe malfunctions.
Seriously, does anyone not know or care about this? It's no secret that many artists, including Spears, lip-sync at times during their elaborate stage shows.
We can't imagine anyone goes to see Britney live for the well-sung lyrics. They go to watch a hot girl gyrate on a stripper pole and dry hump backup dancers.
This isn't to say $1,300 isn't a ripoff. They play Britney Spears' "3" at strip clubs, too, and you can actually pay for a private dance there. Not that we know.

Everyone over here knows she lip-syncs, people were just pissed because her show sucked.
We're not used to having lip-syncing either, we're used to having quality home-grown talent or quality foreign talent that is good enough to come over here.
This whole debate between us aussies and the yanks is quite funny, really.
It's quite hard to piss us off, we're fairly laid back people, but the americans have that thing about them that just drives the entire world batshit crazy.
But at the end of the day, we have free healthcare, we're not in a recession and the only thing we have to "worry" about is some sri-lankan boat people are going on a hunger strike.
Americans don't understand the rest of the world, the rest of the world doesn't understand Americans.

Stupid bloody americans? Australians not having internet, PLEASE, we have the fastest mobile broadband network in the world.
Britney should have expected this from us, unlike our american opposites we like REAL music, take Pink for example, she tours here more than anywhere in the world including the US, even Pink has lashed out at Brit about her lipsyncing.
So for all the Americans commenting, sorry we aren't mindless drones.

wow.. I knew it reading all the comments here are interesting (I don't usually read comments so..)
But one question though.... how come there are no any Hollywood Gossip representative replying any of the comments here? Or did I miss it? Have to admit this particular post is really rude..
I don't belong to any sides, but i just can imagine how angry the australians are...

This just in!
American internet 'journalists' prove their lack of talent by avoiding writing anything informative. A writer at the hollywood gossip dot com (one of the poorest performers of the She Knows network) who uses the pseudonym "Free Britney" commented "Basically I am a blogger who needed a job so I went down on the editor" continues "It is way easier for someone of my limited intelligence to filter & twist the truth in order to get a story their editor will approve". This writer concludes that apparently even their oral $ex skills are in question.
