Britney Spears On Again Off Again at House of Blues

Britney Spears is scheduled to hit the stage for a brief performance at the House of Blues in San Diego tonight.

"The set is only going to be about 10 minutes long," a source said. "It’s only a few songs and she won’t showcase new material."

Rumors that Spears has been planning a comeback performance have been swirling for days. Last week, she was reportedly scheduled to perform three songs at Hollywood club Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce, but plans fell through at the last minute,

The owner of the Millennium Dance Complex, where Spears has been training regularly for the last few weeks, says the singer has been working on material which resembles her earlier hits.

"They’ll be in the style we are all used to, the pop thing," says Robert Baker. "But she’s got bigger plans brewing, with music and dancing that’s a break from her old stuff. She’s really excited about that."

As for Tuesday’s show, the source says it’s just the beginning. "It’s kind of warming up. That’s probably the best way to describe it." That is, if the show goes on.

Spears’s last major performance was in June, 2004 during her Onyx Hotel Tour in Dublin, Ireland.

Spears is also planning several shows this week including ones at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California on Wednesday, the Los Angeles House of Blues on Thursday, and the House of Blues Las Vegas inside Mandalay Bay on Sunday.

At this point I remain skeptical that the shows, if Britney shows up, would even be worth taking the time to see them. Sea World or the San Diego Zoo would be more entertaining.
