Britney's sweet return

Last night, billed as the M&Ms, Britney Spears made a return to live performance. We're guessing this was a three-quarters secret gig, then.

E! entertainment news is reporting that she played a "five song set which lasted about ten minutes", which would suggest that she did a collection of punk covers. Reports say she didn't say anything, bar "thanks everyone for coming."

That "everyone" had paid $125 for a ticket to see a supposedly unknown band suggests, strongly, they knew what they were getting. Although at six quid a minute, maybe not how much.
