It's a good year to be Kristinia DeBarge. (And not to toot our own air horn, but Buzzworthy hipped you to Kristinia DeBarge back in JUNE, which is like a million years ago in Internet time!)

Kristinia's debut single, "Goodbye," charted right out the gate. Her debut album, Exposed, sold immediately to reviews like "awesome" (LA Times), and People pondered whether Kristinia might be the next Rihanna. Fluorescently bright reviews were topped by the news she'd open for Britney Spears on her Circus Tour, followed by a live performance on It's On With Alexa Chung, and then came the news that she was nominated for a 2009 MTV VMA for Best Choreography. Going from relative unknown to Britney's Circus and VMA nominee is not a bad way to spend a summer.

Below, check out the tour diary Kristinia DeBarge just sent the MTV Buzzworthy Blog to see how she's handling her newfound fame, and to get a look beneath the big-top at Britney's Circus.

Hey guys!

Last night was my very first night on the Britney Spears show. After all these weeks of getting ready, it was really exciting to finally be in Hamilton, Ontario Canada for the first show! Everyone in my crew is so pumped to start the tour, and we'd been bubbling with energy the whole day :-)

Right before I went on stage, I met Britney for the first time. She was soooo sweet! She told me how much her babies love my song, and she was just so warm and friendly. I thanked her for the amazing opportunity she's given me by having me on tour with her. I still have to pinch myself to remind myself that I'm not dreaming!

Katy Perry packed her bags with what we can only imagine are super cute vintage frocks and perfectly mismatched heels and headed out on Warped Tour, but she's keeping us updated with weekly video updates.

In her first tour diary, she hits the beach, and while we can't tell what kind of bathing suit she's got on -- she's buried up to her neck in sand -- we're pos it's one of those Esther Williams/ Roy Lichtenstein "Girl with Ball"-style polka-dotted maillots. Come on in! The water's great!

Watch the video below, stay tuned for more Katy Perry updates from Warped Tour, and don't miss her performance tonight on FNMTV.
