Producer: Britney Is 'Really Shaping Up'

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

Britney Spears is back in the recording studio with J.R. Rotem and Sean Garrett, the producers confirm to PEOPLE.

"She's great," Rotem told PEOPLE at the BMI Pop Awards in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. "She's like a master at what she does. She's a lot more experienced than most people. She just has the 'it' factor that not every artist has. So it's always nice to work with her."

Although Rotem, who briefly dated Spears in 2007, would not reveal any details of the project, a Spears family source tells PEOPLE that the pop star is in the early stages of a follow-up to her last album Blackout, which was released last October.

"Britney is in the experimental stages of a new album," says the source. "She's trying to find the sound and direction she wants to go in, but nothing is set in stone just yet. She has been playing the piano a lot and just singing. She says she misses 'just singing.'

Producer Sean Garrett was mum on specifics but says that he and Spears, 26, have "a few things in the works." At the BMI Pop Awards, Garrett told PEOPLE: "I'm just happy to see her back and recovering. She's really shaping up and getting her whole situation back together. I'm really proud and happy to see her."

A rep for Spears's record label had no comment.

All Aboard the Britney Comeback Train

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Britney Spears just got back from a Costa Rican getaway with Mel Gibson, but already she's putting in face time with another power player.

Last night, a sun-kissed Brit went to Il Sole on Sunset with George Maloof, the Palms Casino Hotel owner whom she had dinner with last week.

But it gets better. Brit-Brit didn't speak to the paps at all Tuesday night, even as they lobbed questions at her while snapping pics.

Instead, she gave her best modelesque pout as she pushed through the crowd and stayed mum. She's come a long way from the bizarre British accent and accepting rides from photogs, right?

Hey, Brit, keep up the good work!

Back In Action

Britney Spears didn't waste anytime getting back into the swing of the Hollywood nightlife upon her return from her quick Cosa Rican vacay last week. Here are pics of Brit Brit on the town with her billionaire BFF George Maloof after they dined together at Il Sole:
Britney Spears wasted no time in getting back into the swing of things after she returned from her Costa Rican vacation on Monday evening. The pop star, 26, first got down to some important business: Spending time with her sons, Jayden, 1, and Preston, 2, who came to Spears's Studio City home for a visit early Tuesday. That evening, Spears joined pal George Maloof, who owns the Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, for dessert at the West Hollywood Italian eatery Il Sole. Though the singer tried for a low-key entrance through the back of the restaurant, she was caught in the glare of paparazzi flashes.

Hanging with billionaires is much preferable to the days she'd spend in the company of those losers Adnan Ghalib and Sam Lutfi. Isn't it great that we don't ever have to think about those lowlifes anymore? I wonder what they're up to these days and who they're leeching off of now. Actually, I don't really care, to tell the truth. It is my sincere hope that I never have to utter the names of these two ever again.
