It is great to see that Britney Spears is able to enjoy her time-out in Australia doing normal things with her kids.

Britney Spears received a warm welcome at her Sunday night concert at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and rave reviews about her Circus Tour show. Yesterday (Monday AEST) Britney spent part of her time-out in the Queen Street Mall precinct together with ex-husband Kevin Federline and their sons, Sean Preston (4) and Jayden James (3).

Reports are that Britney looked like any local in a smart sundress as she shopped in Mimco (an exclusive accessories outlet) and bought sunglasses at department store David Jones. Onlookers have reported that Britney appeared relaxed and smiling. The family was accompanied by a few minders and popular eatery Bayswiss closed its doors to other patrons to provide privacy while the group had lunch.

It is not known whether Britney and Kevin were able to take the kids to any other local attractions.

Britney has two more concerts in Brisbane before moving on to Melbourne and performing the final concert in Adelaide next Sunday.

Apart from the adverse publicity about her lip-sync-ing after her first Perth concert, Britney must be feeling pleased with the rave reviews she has had from her fans in across Australia.

Other international celebrities who have wandered around Brisbane unhindered

When Bette Midler was in Brisbane a few years ago, she was noticed walking alone from her hotel to a fairly average coffee shop where she had a meal undisturbed by passers by - no paparazzi in sight!

Mandy Patinkin and his entire family wandered the Queen Street Mall shopping and taking in the local atmosphere. They ate lunch at an everyday bistro and also took a trip along the Brisbane River on the CityCat. Nobody knew who they were!

Debbie Reynolds made mention in her concert a few years ago about the nice atmosphere in Brisbane's Queen Street Mall and how friendly the people were. Obviously she was also able to wander the streets of Brisbane without being pestered by paparazzi.

  • Celebrities can move around Brisbane, Australia unhindered by paparazzi
Brisbane used to be called "Australia's biggest country town" but it came of age after hosting the successful World Expo 1988. It is now a thriving metropolis and more people move to Brisbane from other parts of Australia than to any other location.

    Very nice article. Nice to see Britney and her ex could be adults for their children.
