New Britney Spears album 'Circus' due Dec. 2

As Britney Spears continues trying to reassemble the shards of her personal and professional lives, the troubled pop star will put out her next album just before Christmas, her record company announced today.

The album, “Circus,” is slated for release Dec. 2 -- that's the day she turns 27, and a little more than a year after her album “Blackout” came out. That album has sold 894,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, a far cry from her previous multimillion sellers. A new single, “Womanizer,” is due to hit the radio next Monday.

She’s coming off positive response to her return to the public spotlight at the recent MTV Video Music Awards in L.A., where she collected three trophies for her “Piece of Me” video and delivered a dramatic turnaround from the widely criticized performance at the event a year earlier. She also ended her child custody dispute with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, with him receiving custody while she gets visitation rights.
