Britney: It's my party... and I'll mime if I want to

Britney Spears celebrated her 27th birthday by performing in New York - if you call miming "performing".

The star ruffled a few feathers on The X Factor on Saturday when she mimed, and yesterday she courted yet more controversy with another display of lip-synching.

Happy birthday: Britney has her cake but doesn't eat it

This is supposed to be Brit's great comeback, but so far she has yet to sing a note.

She was presented with a huge birthday cake during the performance on ABC's Good Morning America, which she was gracious enough to accept.

It was a slap in the face for the organisers of the G-A-Y club night, who had a cake made for Britney - she was supposed to accept it on stage at Heaven nightclub on Saturday night. But she left them fuming after a farcical cameo, in which she refused to leave the VIP area or say a word to the audience.

Brit's out: Miss Spears on a birthday night out at Tenjune in New York

Last night Britters showed even more front - almost falling out her dress as she topped off her birthday with a trip to New York club Tenjune.

Tickets for her new world tour go on sale on Friday, with Britney playing London's O2 Arena in June. Let's hope she's found her singing voice by then...
