The Madonnatron kicked off her Sticky and Sweet Tour in Cardiff this weekend and here is a wobbly preview of Britney's part in the tour.

It's nice to see Madge sticking up for Britney by playing a video of Britney getting stressed out in a claustrophobic elevator on the screens behind her while she sings Human Nature.
