Frank Micelotta/Sony/BMGBritney Spears is one step closer to going on tour.
While the comeback pop princess revealed last month she was planning on hitting the road next year, a source now tells me that things are getting serious. Spears just signed a deal with the megahuge live entertainment company AEG to produce the whole shebang, my source says.
No word on when an official announcement will be made or when tickets will go on sale, but Spears revealed during an interview with New York radio station Z100 in late September that she's hoping for a worldwide tour, not something limited just to the United States.
Reps for Spears did not return calls or emails.
Now let's hear from you. Do you want to see Britney back on the stage? Or would you just as soon skip it? Leave your comments below.
