Britney Spears now has a video set to Marilyn Manson's "Sweet Dreams"

Britney Spears has all kinds of personas. There's sexy astronaut Britney from "Oops!…I Did It Again," sexy carny Britney from "Circus," and sexy sex-fiend Britney from "I'm a Slave 4 U." So I guess it's not surprising that this newly leaked Britney video set to a Marilyn Manson song features sexiness, in shockingly large amounts . 

After being shown as an "interlude" between Britney's costume changes on her Circus tour in 2009, this video of Britney and friends gyrating to Marilyn Manson's cover of "Sweet Dreams" has finally been leaked online. In case you needed more proof that Britney Spears is a put-on-a-show kind of girl: 

... well, that's kind of darkly arousing. 

I have a couple of observations. One: Britney's Circus tour might have been one of the most elaborate spectacles of all time. What kind of tour makes special music videos just for the costume changes? Did I mention there were several dozen costume changes? Look at this! That's not even a ring of fire, that's an inferno. 

Two: why haven't I seen Britney Spears on tour yet? This video's a good reminder that woman can do whatever the hell she wants, even if that means teaming up (I'm using that term loosely) with zombie-vampire Marilyn Manson, so long as she steers away from plot lines and keeps things good and hot. We all know how that plot stuff ends up.
