Britney Spears' first tour in Australia continues to feel the heat and it's upsetting the pop princess!

After being criticized by the Australian media for lip-syncing (duh!) and reports of fans walking out of Brit Brit's show, her tour promoter quickly came to her defense saying:

"Britney is aware of all this and she’s extremely upset by it. She’s a human being. I’m embarrassed, with such a big international entourage here with Britney, to be part of the Australian media when I see that kind of totally inaccurate reporting.”

We really don't understand all of the fuss. Britney has ALWAYS lipsynched her performances and everyone knows this — and doesn't care! It's about the dancing and the "incredible spectacle" of the show!

Keep it up Australia or you can be sure Britney won't be going down under on her next tour!

Brit Brit reportedly hid out in her Perth hotel room on Saturday after she angered numerous fans at her concert on Friday night for lip-synching!

What did they expect?????

This is Britney we're talking about!

All of Australia rallied against Spears upon landing in Perth last week, criticizing her for charging top $$$$ for a concert she would be lip-synching her way through, and the Aussies were still pissed at Brit after her performance.

One fan who ditched Spears' show early on in the night lamented to reporters, "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly… The ticket cost me $200 and she lip-synched the whole thing."

Fans were also outraged by the lack of large monitors for the cheap seats, complaining, "You couldn't tell if it was Britney or not."

Geesh! This sounds like much ado about nothing to us!

If this is the case, Australia is going to see a lot less American talent coming through their ports of call!

The folks of Australia are looking to pass a "name and shame" law that would require artists to claim ahead of time if they plan on singing live or lip-syncing through their performance. The news of this new system comes as Britney Spears arrives to perform 14 shows for the Aussies while charging upwards of $1500 for a ticket and will not be singing live!

Of course, we all know that she'll probably lip-sync, but folks down under think it is unfair to charge some extreme prices when patrons aren't getting a full "live" show.

Virginia Judge, the Fair Trading Minister and Minister Assisting the Premier on the Arts, said she would much rather people go see local talent than a costly "Mickey Mouse performance" :

"Let's be clear - live means live. If you are spending up to $200 I think you deserve better than a film clip. The NSW Government would be happy to look at options, such as a disclaimer on a ticket which would warn consumers a performance is pre-recorded."

You're missing the point lady - we already know they don't sing live, and we don't care! Brit-Brit's tour promoter down under, Steve Dixon, put it perfectly when responding:

"This is a pop spectacular, this is a showband show. You come for the experience. There is a lot to see about this show, there's nothing like this in the world. Britney Spears will entertain you, that's what people come for. We absolutely give them a show."

And it's true - she does put on quite a show!

But then again, we could see where some people would be unhappy.

We're torn on this one.

What do U think?

Why does Sophie Monk keep doing this to herself?

Just this past summer, Monk was spotted rocking some major sausage lips.

Apparently someone went a bit too happy with the lip injections?

But why? She's hot without any of that!

And today, the Aussie cutie was spotted at the Emirates Melbourne Cup Day 2009 at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne with some noticeably plumper lips.

Seriously Sophie, stop touching your face!!

You don't want to end up looking like Joan Rivers!

And not to his native Australia!

While strolling through an NYC playground with his wife and daughter on Monday, Hugh Jackman must have had the urge to play with his ball!

The Broadway star reached in and grabbed the Boys From Oz, which we assume were in need of a little adjustment.

Next time, just call us to help!

Diva!

Kylie Minogue looked stunning –and virtually unrecognizable — in her Parisian-chic clown costume for Halloween.

We like it!

Since nobody really knows who the hell she is anyway, Benji Madden's ex-girlfriend Sophie Monk thought she would be able to walk the streets unnoticed in her little lady bug get-up - on THURSDAY of last week.

Well, the papz did catch up with her, but we imagine that they were confused and thought she was Holly Madison.

Ouch!

It's rough being on the Z List, huh Sophie?

P.S. We didn't even mention that you called them yourself until the P.S.!

DESPERATE!
