...maybe even her voice. But if nothing else, she has held on to the formula for successful pop music. “Circus” is the quintessential Britney CD, but trashier. There are the driving dance singles “Womanizer” and “Circus,” schmaltzy ballads “Out from Under” and “Blur,” and even a reflection on her continuing war with the paparazzi in “Kill the Lights.” Above her predictable rhythms and enhanced voice, it?...

Once there, Brecher saw his career flourish. He remains the only person to be given solo writing credit on two Marx Brothers films (At the Circus and Go West). Groucho Marx, the mustached brother, once said that beginning his friendship with Brecher was "the only good thing about making At the Circus."

...Finally, there's Bush's family. Bush's wife is reportedly (and understandably) not fond of the political circus. Then again, the family issue can work both ways for the Bushes. Jeb's Senate chances, if he does run, could be dampened by the fact that his brother is leaving the White House with approval ratings that have fallen further south than Key West.
