'Touring is hard on the body': Britney Spears sizzles in plunging Vegas showgirl one-piece as she talks about upcoming gig
Britney Spears is looking forward to starting her new show in Las Vegas for a few good reasons.
One of them is that the 31-year-old performer won't have to work that body so hard once she's rooted in one place.
Britney opened up about her upcoming two-year residency at Planet Hollywood and her struggle to stay grounded and focused in a new interview with the Fall 2013/Winter 2014 issue of Vegas Player magazine.

The pop singer makes a splash on the cover alone, showing off her hard-won and toned figure in a glittery mauve and ivory body suit with plunging neck-to-waist cleavage.
The outfit is part Elvis Presley, part showgirl, and also features a belt with the words 'IT'S VEGAS B**CH' written on it.
The star can't wait for her show, Britney: A Piece Of Me, to begin on December 27.

'When you tour, it's so hard on the body,' Britney tells Vegas Player. 'I look back and I don't know how I did it. Being in one place is cool. It's a more stable environment.
'Las Vegas is a fun place. There is so much going on. The energy here is incredible. You feel it walking through the casino. Everybody is here to have a good time.'
Britney, who has been putting in daily rehearsals at the dance studio, relies on a small and stable gathering of people to help her stay grounded.

'It's important to have a group of people around you who can keep you down to earth,' Britney tells the magazine. 'It's a mind-altering experience when you become a pop star at such a young age.
'Some people are made for it and some people aren't. If you keep good friends around you and stay grounded, you'll be ok.'
The Kentwood, Louisiana native describes her early days in show business as 'surreal.'
'It was kind of like a dream,' Britney reveals. 'I'm from a small town and I wasn't expecting anything. When it happened, it was kind of surreal. I got so busy travelling that I was oblivious to it all.
'I didn't even realize what was happening. It was like a dream that I never woke up from. It was pretty spectacular.'
Now Britney is a mother of two boys, Sean, eight, and Jayden, seven, and she plans on bringiing them and her boyfriend Dave Lucado with her to Vegas.
