I used to have a really strict English teacher in grammar school who I believe was educated in an English boarding school, and one of the rules in her class was that we weren’t allowed to chew gum because it would make us look like cow’s chewing cud.

*Sigh*, how I wish Britney Spears had that same teacher.

The Britney Spears Half Assed Comeback Tour rolled into Anaheim yesterday night, and it was pretty much the same show as what she did the night before in San Diego. Except this time, Britney didn’t even bother to lip sych — she was noticeably chewing gum for most of her re-hashed sets. She also made a joke about her drug taking. I doubt anyone was laughing with her at that point.

Here’s the recap from People:

Security was tighter in Anaheim – it took the crowd nearly two hours to get through the metal detectors – with guards seizing cell phones in an apparent reaction to the flood of pictures and videos of the San Diego show on the Internet.

At 9:30 p.m., after the vast majority of the crowd had made it past security, the chants of “Britney! Britney!” started, with one girl exhorting the crowd with shouts of, “She’s got to feel the love!”

A few minutes later, the lights dimmed on the stage, empty save for a single white chair. The crowd exploded into screams and applause as the four backup dancers appeared, two on each side, snaking their way across the stage. As the first strains of “… Baby One More Time” became recognizable, Spears emerged in a brown wig, white go-go boots, a white mini-skirt and a sparkling pink bikini top.

Like the San Diego show, the set was a short medley of Spears’s hits, with “I’m a Slave 4 U” following “Hit Me” and the crowd showering the pop star with shouts of approval each time she wiggled her hips. (Notably, she was also able to chew gum while performing.)

The lights dimmed after the second song, going a soft red, with the back-up dancers exiting the stage and leaving Britney alone to strut slowly to the lone chair as “Breathe On Me” started. The crowd roared as she seductively gyrated on the chair before her dancers returned and pulled a male fan from the audience to be serenaded by Spears.

A brief interlude allowed Spears to change into a tiny denim skirt, a plain pink bra and a short, white fur coat. Her “Do Something” routine included some air guitar, a lot of the hands-on-hips hip thrusts and a brief homage to the running man dance move.

Spears dropped her fur coat to the floor for the final song, “Toxic,” and smiled as she mouthed the words. The crowd once again roared its approval when she and her dancers dropped to all fours and crawled in formation down the stage. Spears then popped up to her knees and posed with her dancers around her as the song and the lights came to a simultaneous and abrupt end.

As the lights came back up and the crowd showered her with adoration, she blew kisses with both hands and said, “Thank you so much. These are my dancers,” before skipping offstage, leaving her four backups to soak up the applause.

According to The Daily Mail, a marshmallow sized object was hurled at Britney while she was onstage (oh, to shake the hand of the person who did that). Her bodyguard got pissed and whisked her off straight after that. Before that happened, she also made a drug gesture while singing Toxic. The paper’s source said: “There is a line ‘I need a hit, baby give me it’ and Britney put her finger to her nose pretending she was doing a line of coke. Then she gave a cheeky smile.”

I wasn’t there, but it performance just sounds plain wrong. The running man?! I haven’t done the running man since Kid ‘n Play were cool, circa 1992.

It’s ridiculous that people couldn’t bring cameras and paid $300 for Britney to do ancient dance moves and yet again be delusional about her drug taking. Is she taking lessons from the Barbra Streisand School of Concert Ticket Extortion?

Note by Celebitchy: I know we covered this already, but Jessie and I wrote our articles about it at the same time and she has a different take on it as well as details I missed.
