PHOTOS: Britney's Back in Lala Land

The smile on Britney Spears' face said it all as the pop princess deplaned from her long flight home to L.A. from Australia on Monday night. This wasn't just any return flight for Brit, but rather the end of one of the most productive and successful years of her career, which saw her transform from head-shaving scandal-magnet back into the international superstar she had once been. Of course, now that she's returned home and has no further tour dates on her agenda, one can only hope that Brit will be able to keep moving forward.
