BRITNEY A NO-SHOW: Spears' tour skips San Diego

The circus won't be coming to town after all -- Britney Spears' concert next April at the San Diego Sports Arena has fallen through before tickets could even go on sale.

Last week, the San Diego Union-Tribune and UTStreet.com were informed that Spears had added an April 20 tour stop to her North American tour, which is being launched to promote her new album, circus We promptly informed our readers with an articles that included some of the ticket prices and the Dec. 13 on-sale date. Then things shifted, with Britney's date moving to April 22. That is, until it fell through altogether late yesterday.

"Britney will not be performing in San Diego on this date of the tour," a concert spokesman said. No official reason has been given for the decision for Spears to skip San Diego, but -- in an intriguing coincidence -- she has now added an April 20 date at the Honda Center in Anaheim, where she also performs April 19. Given that her next date isn''t until April 24 in Arizona, Spears' San Diego fans are justified to wonder why she's not coming here in between.
