Larry Rudolph: Britney's Amazing

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

Whose idea was it to do a documentary?

It evolved out of a conversation that Britney and I had five or six months ago where the big question was what she was going to do in terms of talking to the public, presenting herself to the public. She really wanted to be able to tell her story, talk about where she's been, where she is today and where she is going. She wanted to do it very honestly, but on her own terms. I think there is a part of her that is tired of allowing the media to guide her image and her story. She wanted to tell that story herself.

What was the turning point for her? When did she decide she was ready to try again?

There just came a moment where she decided to get up, brush herself off and move forward. She had hit a low point in her life. She realized that and everybody else realized that. She wanted to get to a better place.

One thing that struck me in the footage shown was that she didn’t always seem very happy. She looked sullen during quite a bit of it. Why do you think she keeps going? She's putting out another album, going on tour…

I think she keeps going because she knows there's a beginning, middle and end to this. She realizes that there are better times ahead. She's already in a much better place than she was not that long ago and she knows that she's going to be in a better place a month from now, six months from now, a year from now, etc. That's what keeps her going. She's doing what she loves right now. Every day she's found more happiness in her life.

In the documentary, she talked about how scheduled and structured her life has been. She still seems pretty busy now. How have things really changed for her?

There was a stretch where she became very unbusy in terms of her career. I think she got into some trouble because maybe she had too much free time on her hands. She likes to work. In many ways, she's defined by her career. Getting her career where she wants it to be now is a big part of who she is.

You've known her since she was a child, but at one point, Britney let you go. Now you're back working with her again. Why have you stuck by her throughout everything?

It hasn't really been a rocky relationship. The reality is we stopped working together right around when she got married to Kevin because she wanted that. She didn't want a career at that point. She wanted to have kids and take on a new phase of her life and she did. Then we got back together for a short period of time last year, which was a very difficult time for her. And really she was not in a position at that point to do what she's doing now. Then she decided it was time to pick herself up and move forward and I came back.

Was there any hesitation to continue working with her after the ups and downs?

I've known this girl for over half her life, since she was 13. We have a very close friendship, but it's sort of hard for me to explain my relationship with her. It's a friendship, it's a business relationship, there are some paternal aspects to it. We get along very well. I understand her better than everyone other than her immediate family. There's a shorthand we use in terms of dealing with each other that just works. The bottom line is I think she's amazing. I love her. She's been a big part of my life, and I've been a big part of her life. Being a part of this new phase in her career is something I was very open to.

Britney Spears Doc Shows 'Where She Is And Where She Is Going,' Manager Larry Rudolph Says

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

Britney Spears' longtime manager Larry Rudolph has been by his client's side as she stages her comeback with the release of Circus and her documentary, "For the Record" (premiering on MTV November 30).

"I was very involved in putting [the film] together, so I saw the process," Rudolph told MTV News on Thursday night at a media preview of the film in Los Angeles. "It was a very interesting process. We made a deal from the very beginning — everybody sort of shook hands with the understanding that there were going to be no boundaries on this thing. We were going to make an open and honest film and that we weren't going to leave the good stuff on the cutting room floor.

"We went there with it," he added. "You see Britney in a light you're not used to seeing her in. She's intelligent, she's introspective, she's honest. By the end of the film you really understand who she is in a way that you just never imagined. ... It is so not a puff piece."

Rudolph, who is credited with shaping Britney's early career, wouldn't speak about how he and Spears reunited after a falling-out in 2007. At the time, many speculated that she fired him for encouraging her to enter rehab.

Focusing the conversation on the doc, Rudolph insisted that it shows everyone what he already knows about the singer: "She's got a unique set of talents. She's got a blend of certain talents. She's a great singer. She's a great dancer. She's got an amazing image. She's incredibly likable," he listed. "She's got this intangible thing that makes her a star."

"For the Record" is part of the game plan for reintroducing Britney, the pop star rather than the tabloid magnet, back to her fans, Rudolph said. The movie makes a case for Spears' future, by giving the audience "a good taste of the music and where she is and where she is going."

The next step in Brit's comeback is a video for the album's second single, "Circus," shot by "I'm a Slave 4 U" director Francis Lawrence, set to debut around the release of the album on December 2. "It is amazing," Rudolph said. "The video is extraordinary. It is really, really good."

Although Blackout came out only a year ago, Rudolph said that this was an organically right time for her to put out new music again. "It wasn't that there was a rush," he explained. "The album got completed on its natural timetable. And it just was the right time to put it out. So we decided to put it out on her birthday and make it a birthday present to her and to the world."

Britney Back In Court

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

Britney Spears made an unexpected appearance today at a hearing concerning her plans to tour next year. Her father Jamie controls her affairs due to a conservatorship arrangement. Court spokesman Allan Parachini said during a brief press conference after the hearing:

“There isn’t a lot I can tell you about it. There was discussion of Ms. Spears’ future immediate business plans. Particularly touring in support of her album… It was about the tour professional. She has an album that is coming out. All of what is necessary to support the album.”

Dad Jamie seemed to be handling Britney rather roughly as he shielded her face from the photgraphers outside the courthouse. Meanwhile, her assistant picked up her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James from pre-school.

Brit Wants to Take it on the Road

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

The Britney Spears hearing is over and it's clear -- Brit is going on tour to push her new album.

Britney told the Commish she wanted to make sure if there would be any ramifications with the conservatorship if she went on tour. Since the hearing was closed, it's unclear what the Commish said.

At one point, Britney went into chambers with the Commish and it looked like she went alone.
