Madonna asks Britney Spears to join her on tour

London, July 5 : Queen of pop Madonna has asked princess of pop Britney Spears, to join her on her tour, and friends are hopeful that she will be a guiding light for the young artist.

Madge, 49, is all set to record a video with Spears, 26, in New York, and the footage will be broadcasted on huge screens as part of Madge's Sticky and Sweet tour, which kicks off on August 23.

The Like a Virgin star has also invited Spears to appear in person on some of the world tour dates.

"They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna's show," the Sun quoted a source close to Spears as revealing.

"And they are talking about Britney taking the stage on a few of the dates too.

"There's no doubt that her and Britney together will spell fireworks again," the source said.

There is a big hope of Madge being the one to help Spears land back on her feet to make a comeback.

"It's hoped that Madonna can help Britney get back to her old self. Appearing with Madonna would really kickstart her career again. She's been there and done it so could provide some great guidance," the source said.

"If anyone can mastermind a Britney comeback, it's Madonna.

"Lots of people will be hoping there's a repeat of the kissing incident a few years ago," the source added.

The Toxic singer and Madonna had stunned fans at the MTV Music Awards in 2003 by sharing a passionate kiss.

Spears has always been a huge fan of Madge, and even converted to her Kabbalah religion. But it has been reported that their relationship cooled after Britney lost interest in the mystical Jewish faith.

"Maybe this means Britney is ready to devote to Kabbalah again as she tries to sort herself out," the source stated.

Madonna's new tour to support album Hard Candy promises to be her sexiest yet.
