Britney Spears is the comeback queen of 2008, the reason that life is nearly worth living in these uncertain times. Now her new single—from her album, "Circus," which drops (ha, drops) in just a few days or maybe December 2, officially—has leaked out all over the tubes. So all the homosexuals are like, "SQUEEEEE!" It is definitely, definitely a continuation of "Blackout" which, you know, is a grand thing! That album is totally good you guys. So this song is also definitely not the song she was shown rehearsing to at the VMAs. (Britney did not perform at the VMAs, because she did not need to. It was enough, the experts agreed, that she was just able to stand up and smile.) You know, what can we say? YES. Yes to Britney is yes to life. Yes to this tinny 40-second clip.
