Britney Lands In Dublin
US pop star Britney Spears is in Dublin today - apparently with an entourage of over 100 people.
Her support includes 60 dancers, the band, road crew and technicians, as well as her young sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston.
Her spectacular 'Circus' show - due to kick-off in the capital at the weekend - has seen the party book rooms and suites in three top Dublin hotels, the Morrison, the Merrion and the Four Seasons.
Britney will have several security personnel escorting her and her companions in blacked-out people carriers to and from the O2 venue, where she will be driven straight to the stage door.
She is also expected to be accompanied by several minders if she leaves her hotel during the day for shopping or sightseeing.
The last time Britney performed in Dublin she stayed in the Westbury Hotel, off Grafton Street, with her then husband Kevin Federline and she went out on shopping trips to several nearby boutiques and designer stores.
