Britney sets date for album release

Britney Spears’ second comeback is in full swing with plans to unveil a new album on her 27th birthday.

“Circus” is set for release on December 2, a little over a year after she released last November’s “Blackout,” which was perhaps her most critically acclaimed CD, but came during her infamous year of erratic behaviour, rehab, custody battles and at least one trip to hospital.
