HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 11/24/08 – Fans of professional provocateur Britney Spears got an earful of her upcoming CD, “Circus,” on Monday, when social media service imeem posted the album in full on its Web site. Registered users were able to stream all 13 songs at no charge.

Spears’ latest work, which includes the recent single “Womanizer,” is scheduled for release via traditional and Internet retail outlets on Dec. 2, the singer’s 27th birthday. Two days prior, MTV is scheduled to air a new documentary about the oft-troubled starlet, featuring candid one-on-ones with Spears in which she admits her marriage was a mistake and shares her desire for more personal freedom.

Jayden James, the entertainer’s 2-year-old son, was hospitalized in Louisiana on Nov. 9 after experiencing hives, itchiness and irritability. The boy was diagnosed with an unnamed food allergy and released into his mother’s custody the next day.
