As she prepares to start her first European tour in two years, Britney Spears was hoping to kick off things with a bang.
But as she turned up to the tour's London launch party last night, she could have been forgiven for wondering just where all the genuine stars were.
The A-list singer was joined by reality stars Mark Wright and Katie Waissel at the Sanctum Soho Hotel as she marked the new leg of her Femme Fatale tour.

Nevertheless, the 29-year-old looked stunning in a green bodycon dress with sheer panels as she arrived at the Sanctum Soho Hotel with boyfriend Jason Trawick.
She kept her blonde hair back swept off her face, with smoky eye make-up to complete the look.
The pop star kept close to her boyfriend Trawick, as they mingled with celebrities and journalists at the upmarket London hotel.
The Only Way Is Essex's Wright admitted he was a bit starstruck by her presence.

He tweeted: 'Is it silly that I am excited to be on the way to Britney Spears tour launch party going to be in the same room as one of the world's biggest stars?'
Also up for a party was X Factor reject Waissel and new girl group Parade.
The bash was to launch the European leg of her Femme Fatale tour, which starts in St Petersberg on September 22 and will return to London in October for dates at the O2 Arena.

Spears arrived in London on Thursday morning after celebrating her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James's birthdays earlier this week.
Clearly enjoying herself, she posted a photo on her Twitter of her standing on her rooftop terrace of her Mayfair hotel.
She wrote: 'Look at this view of London... so beautiful! Love it here... Having a blast in the UK.'
As well as doing lots of promotional work, she is also preparing to film the video for new single Criminal during her five day stay in the capital.

She wrote on Twitter last week: 'So excited to stop over in the UK before I start my European tour in a few weeks. Can't wait! I LOVE London, it's like my second home.
'Decided to shoot the Criminal video in the streets of merry old England when I get there...'
The video, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, sees Spears playing the long-suffering girlfriend of her dangerous lover, who is rescued by another man - named Jason.
The singer then flees with 'Jason' and the couple embark on a Bonnie and Clyde style-crime spree.
