Britney Ditches Vancouver Stage

Britney Spears' embarrassing comments about penises and vaginas somehow aren't enough to make her walk off stage, but cigarette smoke apparently does the trick.

Spears stormed off the stage during her show at Vancouver's General Motors Place on Thursday night and didn't return for a good 15 to 20 minutes until the air, which she described as too smoky, had cleared.

"We want to apologize to all the fans who attended our Vancouver show tonight for the brief pause in Britney's set," a statement on Spears' website reads. "Crew members above the stage became ill due to a ventilation issue."

The rumour was that people were smoking marijuana near the stage. At the end of the show, Spears told the crowd, "You were wonderful. Drive safe. Don't smoke weed and rock out with your cocks out!" before adding, "Peace, motherfuckers!" (Apparently she still couldn't resist mentioning penises.) Check it out:

"Some people were smoking near the stage and some of the performers took offence and walked off," Canucks Sports And Entertainment VP/GM of arena operations Harvey Jones told the Vancouver Province newspaper. "This is the first time that's happened."

The newspaper reports that the alleged offenders were reminded that GM Place is a non-smoking venue. An announcement that smoke had been bothering Spears and the performers was broadcast, according to CBC News.

There are also reports that Spears and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, are back together.

The two have been apparently getting a little too friendly backstage during Spears' tour for her recently released Circus, according to Star magazine.

"It's like they're newlyweds all over again," a source told the magazine. "Brit and Kevin can't keep their hands off each other!"
