Britney's first number, "Circus," started off with a bang (and Brit in some hot hot-pants), but the crowd really went wild for her second performance of her hit single "Womanizer."

Madonna is known for her controversial music videos and touring stunts (which often involve crucifixes), but Madge is trying to create a different kind of buzz with her new documentary, I Am Because We Are, premiering Monday, December 1 (World AIDS Day) at 9 pm/ET on Sundance..
