Britney Spears has canceled a sold-out "Oops! . . . I Did It Again" concert performance scheduled for July 26 at Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheater, because her accompanying props and special effects are apparently too large for the venue. ("Oops" is on a 50-city tour.) More than 9,000 tickets had been sold . . . Reba McEntire has withdrawn from her July 29 Wild Wild West benefit show in Dodge City, Kan., which would have raised money for farm kids. A contract dispute is being blamed, say Reba's reps. Concert organizers blame sluggish ticket sales.
