Britney Spears: No Red Bull, No Alcohol at Mad Mex (But Lots of Guac!)

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

While her contracted road crew can be overly rowdy, the rest of Britney Spears' tour team are quite the sober, well-behaved bunch.

Spears and her entourage of 20 hit Mad Mex in the Pittsburgh suburb of North Hills on Thursday night for a completely pleasant two and a half hour meal.

The only caveat laid out in advance by Britney's team: no Red Bull and no alcohol were to be offered to the table. That, and no flash photography.

The meal came the evening after two road crew members had been arrested by Pittsburgh police, which followed a statement from Britney's camp saying the roadies had been dismissed and that Spears' camp would "not tolerate this type of behavior."

"This meal was a really low-key encounter," says manager Matthew Salopek.

Britney rolled up in an SUV limo all dinner-casual—in jeans along with a green and white striped shirt.

Moments later the rest of the tour players showed up for the low-key meal. With a table for Britney's crew, one for her dancers and a separate table for security, the group dined on nachos, burritos and guacamole. Lots of the guac. "They kept commenting that it was a lot like West Coast guac and asking for more," says Salopek. "We brought tons." For beverages the group had only soda and water per previous orders.

Britney Spears had the nachos grande plate "which is a meal onto itself. She was in a good mood—smiling and talking."

As word leaked out about the superstar's presence, more and more locals started to find their way into the restaurant. However, the Brit-group was left to itself, no doubt due to the three security guards working the room. "They were unassuming but a presence," says Salopek.

"One of the guys was really big."

"No one went up to them. People in the restaurant seemed to take the whole thing in stride."

And the major celebrity was pretty great as well. "I've worked with far-lesser stars who were a much greater pain," says Salopek. "They were really low-key and it was just nice to have them."

"And they tipped well."

Indeed, after their meal was done, Britney made a quick exit with a smile and a simple good-bye.

"Other than the security guard, and one huge international star," says Salopek, "it was really was a run-of-the-mill evening."

Team Spears Takes on Fan Site

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

It's the battle of superstar's camp versus the superfan. And right now everyone is breathing heavy.

Lawyers for Jamie Spears, who serves as conservator for daughter Britney Spears, are threatening Spears' unofficial fan site BreatheHeavy.com with a legal injunction for allegedly infringing on copyrights related to the Circus singer and unfairly profiting off of her, according to the site's owner, Jordan Miller.

As a result, Miller claims on his website that "Jamie Spears' lawyers (are) pressuring me to close Breatheheavy.com by 3 p.m. PST today."

Miller has followed up with a breathless appeal for help to his fans under the heading "Breatheheavy.com forced to close."

"This conservatorship Britney is placed under, which controls every aspect of her life, is now clenching the future of her biggest Fansite," Miller writes.
"I’m prepared to fight."

Rather than money, Miller claims the real issue is that he has continued to criticize Jamie Spears. In the post he says that Jamie "is desperarely trying to hide the truth about Britney's imprisonment, and shut anyone up who disagrees."

Miller claims that Jamie Spears told him in a phone conversation "I will destroy your ass."

While a rep for Spears did not immediately return calls for comment, a source in Britney's camp tells Celebuzz that this action against Miller is "not about a personal thing. It's about copyright infringement. He's not respectful of copyright."

The source adds that Breatheheavy.com has also featured "mean and deragatory" statements against Jamie Spears.

Miller claims he doesn't profit — in fact he loses money — on the website. He additionally wants his readers to help pay for the website "since I am no longer allowed to run ads." He lists the price tag at $350 a month and features a paypal section to make payments.

As Miller says in his sign-off on the website: "This is not the end."
