Madonna has asked troubled Britney Spears to join her on tour -- and pals hope she will give guidance to the young star.
The Queen Of Pop, 49, is set to record a video with Britney, 26, in New York tomorrow.
The footage will be broadcast on huge screens as part of Madge's Sticky and Sweet tour, which kicks off on August 23.
Madonna has also invited Britney to appear in person on some of the world tour dates.
A source close to Britney revealed: "They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna's show.
"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.
"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."
Britney and Madonna stunned fans at the MTV Music Awards in 2003 by sharing a passionate kiss.
The source added: "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 Toxic singer 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.
The source added: "Maybe this means Britney is ready to devote to Kabbalah again as she tries to sort herself out."
Madonna's new tour to support album Hard Candy promises to be her sexiest yet.
She will turn 50 a week before it kicks off in Cardiff -- but still plans to shock fans with a controversial stage show.
The singer will even pretend to be mummified as part of a routine.
Britney lost custody of kids Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James as she battled her demons.

YAH BRIT COULD USE SOME GUIDANCE AFTER EVERYTHING
SHE'S BEEN THRU AND WILL BE GOING THRU. I HOPE THIS IS TRUE.
I HOPE MADONNA KNOWS WHAT TO DO.
Screw you Madonna for making a sh1tty music after 2003 and screw you for disappointing all you old fans. Britney !? Ahaha well that's pathetic.
This is really a point when I put my GnR CD back in.
I wonDer iF DisNeY wiLL AllOW Cinderfuckenrella OUT of the ZOO?
Stay Tuuuuuuuuned!!!
That sucks! the little dumb kids who wants to see Britney can pay their own money to go see Brickney, WE DIDN'T PAY $400 A TICKET to go see Madonna SPEAR Brtiney
BRITNEY STAY AT LOONIE HOME and try to get your babies back
Madonna is disappointing me a lot lately, after that crap of music she did after Ray of light I just gave her another chance with HC but really if she is going to bring Britney on tour maybe is really time for me to say bye bye baby bye bye and just watch Who's that girl concert on my home theather
Madonna your real old fans from 25 years DOESN'T LIKE BRITNEY
I like Britney's music especially Toxic and Break the Ice. But after seeing her at the MTV Music Awards, I have a concern that her performing would be a disaster.
I think it's sweet Madonna likes to support the people that everyone trashes like Britney.
But I'm not liking all these guests, Justin, Timbaland and Pharrel and now Britney.
I think Madonna is amazing and can stand on her own. I'd like to see more of that. I don't know, it seems recently she's lost confidence in herself and needs to bring in all those other stars.
I'm a 20 year fan of Madonna's and hold her in very high regard. I understand her intention of wanting to help Britney but I'm going to her concert to see Madonna not Britney. Professionally and socially, they could not be more different. Madonna should stand on her own. Is she going to ask Paris Hilton to join the tour too?
ooooooooooh!
i would LOVE to see a Gimme More/Human Nature mash up!
and seeing that live would be really DAMN COOL!
i wonder how the conceptual the video will be?
given that Steven Klein is directing it
it's the media that is labeling this cool idea a "comeback"
anyone who's opted to believe M is soley attempting help
Britney make a"comeback" is a bit of a fool themselves
i feel that M is seeing it as a cool fusion of 2 great songs
nothing more...nothing less. making musical and visual art
although, i was not too happy to see that Human Nature is on
the set-list for the Hard Candy Tour, if in FACT it will be mashed
up with Gimme More, that would be a great thing to see & hear!
if Britney does in fact join M live on tour for a few shows..
that would be even better...
(however...if justin timberlake happens to join M live to perform
4 Minutes the same night as Britney...
that may be a bit awkward, but M is smarter than that
oooooooh!
if these rumors are in fact true....
I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH THE PERFORMANCE!
time will tell...
Hey 'CYK',
No, Screw YOU for coming onto a Madonna site and posting your stupid comments.
I think all her fans that are upset about this supposed 'news' that she's going to record a backup video with Britney and 'maybe' ask her to perform with her, need to calm down. How many times have you heard 'M' herself say "Don't believe anything you read on the internet"??? Let's just wait and see what happens.
No Mike, screw you too.
If you're a little Britney's fanboy then fu*k off from here and go to her fan web site.
I hate when ppl like you go on and flame to others ppl comments.
And yeah, it betta be not true cause I'd be freaking disappointed in that case!
I'd bet 90% of Britney's fans are 10-16yrs old.
Why can't somoene be a fan of two female artists at the same time. Someone can be a fan of both Madonna and Britney.
I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Britney, but I like a few of her songs and I'm not 10-16 years old.
I know quite a few people who bought Blackout and they all loved it and they are not 10-16 years old either.
Not that someone can't be a fan of both, but what about other millions of Madonna's fans that don't like Britney ?
I don't think that we want to pay for our tickets to see her on the tour too, If I go on her tour I go there to listen and see Madonna not motherfu**** Britney.
So that's why I don't what her or any else new-poped up bit** to get involved on the tour.
Ewww Britney Spears..
You Britney haters can relax now. It's been confirmed Britney will appear briefly in one of the backdrop videos, but she is not going to be joining Madonna live on stage.
I'm cool with that. I like some of Britney's music but I wouldn't want to see what kind of disaster she could cause if she was live on stage with Madonna.
Hey 'CYK'
No, I'm not a little Britney fanboy.
And, as I said, all of you were getting your panties in a bunch over the 'Britney
joining the Madonna tour' supposed news.
And when did I 'go and on and flame...'? I simply said Screw you, because you put down Madonna on a MADONNA site AND put down her music, saying it's been shitty since 2003??
I repeat, SCREW YOU. I'm a Madonna fan.
You aren't. Go back to your GnR site, Moron.
Man, what a wanker..
What's up? you don't like someone go on saying her music suck after 2003? Heh, well I'll skip that Confessions ablum, but I can't HC.
Cause it's motherfu*king RnB album with fags like Justin and Pharrell ect..and I just needed Britney on top of that.
So, I doubt I can be called a Madonna fan since I don't like the new album.
So it's ok for me not being such a huge fan as you are, fool.
P.S It looks like we have some rules here, "don't come to a Madonna site and flame bout her shitty album"
And yeah, I'm off to GnR, See u.
Hey 'CYK',
Nice one. So you're homophobic. That explains alot. Wow. I won't even waste
any more energy on you then. What a loser.
Ta!
