It was announced mid-week that Britney Spears will appear at Columbus' Value City Arena on April 30, with the Pussycat Dolls in tow. (A little trivia for you: Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger went to school at Wright State University ... but I digress.) The Columbus concert is one of several additional tour dates added this week hot on the heels of Spears' sixth studio album, "Circus," which was released Dec. 2. Perhaps Spears does channel a bit of the ultimate Material Girl's (read Madonna) ability to reinvent herself. Love her or hate her (I prefer a combination of the two that blends into a sense of tolerance), there can be no disagreeing that this is the biggest concert announcement for the new year thus far. Tickets to the Spears show — her first tour in five years — go on sale Saturday, Dec. 20, at 10 a.m. at the Schottenstein Center box office and Ticketmaster locations. Charge by phone at (614) 431-3600 or go online to www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets for the Columbus date are priced at $128, $98, $58 and $42.50.
