Brit looks like a Pretty Woman

The following italicized article is from www.thesun.co.uk:

BRITNEY SPEARS has certainly come a long way since her dramatic breakdown in January.

Back then she was looking bloated, spotty and a million miles away from the fresh faced young teen who made it big with Hit Me Baby One More Time.

But, she's now back to looking great, as you can see in this picture of her imitating the front cover Vanity Fair, featuring Pretty Woman star JULIA ROBERTS.

Clutching a rose with her teeth, Britney holds up the magazine with a huge smile on her face.
The picture has been released at the same time as reports suggesting that the star is due to make a spectacular comeback worth a whopping £5MILLION.

According to a source who spoke to our sister paper The News Of The World, the singer is poised to perform at a mega-bucks one-off Las Vegas show, followed by a string of dates.

The source confirmed: "The concert will be one to top them all - a spectacle.

"It will have jaw-dropping lights, amazing costumes and a performance from Britney to roll back the years."

Britney last had a No1 single in the UK in 2004.

She will play the gig at Palms Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas at the end of the year.

Her record company, Sony BMG, have given the thumbs-up despite Britney's shambolic show at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.

The source added: "There's a total of £5million on offer but the onus is on Brit to put in a top show.

"Britney is finally getting her life, and career, back on track and the whole world will see the evidence when she steps on that stage."

Just Friends

"Britney and I have been friends for a long time. I've been seeing her as a friend. We haven't spoken about business."

- George Maloof, owner of the Sacramento Kings and the Palms hotel in Las Vegas, in a statement to LAtimes.com when asked if his recent dinners with Britney were business negotiations for a performance at the Palms Hotel or a 10-million dollar world tour.

Yes, and she's still *tinkering* around in the studio, too ;)

The Gimme More singer, 26, is poised to get a lot more with a mega-bucks one-off Las Vegas show, followed by a string of dates.

A success could see the Princess of Pop put behind her a disastrous year that included losing her two sons to ex Kevin Federline.

Our source confirmed: "The concert will be one to top them all—a spectacle.

"It will have jaw-dropping lights, amazing costumes and a performance from Britney to roll back the years."

How To Party Responsibly

Designer Christian Audigier celebrated his 50th birthday in fine, gaudy style in Hollywood last night with a few of his closest (gaudiest) friends at L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum. Audigier's newest friend, Britney Spears, was in the hiz last night for the celebration (and Papa Jamie Spears came along to accompany her/keep an eye on her) as well as was the gaudiest one of all -- Michael Jackson -- who made a surprise appearance. Sounds like it was a party fit for a queen:
It was a girls' night out – plus dad – for Britney Spears Friday. Spears, in a black dress and sun-kissed blonde hair, told PEOPLE she's doing "good" at designer pal Christian Audigier's 50th birthday party at L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum. Spears, 26, hung with two girlfriends in a roped-off VIP area at Audigier's blowout gala. Fergie, Snoop Dogg, Pamela Anderson and – surprise! – Michael Jackson also made appearances. Jamie Spears joined his daughter, sitting on a couch about five feet away with his head resting on his hands. Spears stayed about an hour and a half, smoking cigarettes on an outside patio, nodding her head to a live performance from Macy Gray, and abstaining from alcohol. When she left for the evening, her father joined her. "I am friends with Britney," Audigier told PEOPLE before the party. "She was at my office, I believe, three weeks ago. She got some presents for Jamie-Lynn and herself too. She got a ton of T-shirts, a ton of caps. She loved it." Spears left the party before Jackson, clad in a shiny blue shirt, came onstage to wish Audigier happy birthday.

It was very nice of Britney to make an appearance for Audigier's 50th birthday but it seems clear that she (and her father/conservator Jamie Spears) is taking great pains to ensure that she stays out of trubs and away from temptation. Britney has been doing an amazing job of staying away from questionable places and people so that she doesn't court any more trouble. Clearly she knows what the important things are in her life ...
With folks like her father and former manager Larry Rudolph in her life, she seems poised to finally start living a nice, normal and safe life once again. And to that I say, Woot!

Britney Parties With Christian!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

Britney turned up for Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier's 50th birthday party bash last night at the Peterson Automotive Museum.

Brit was "escorted" by her dad Jamie and her agent Jason Trawick was by her side again! Now, we're hearing Jason's in a relationship but if I were his girlfriend (or boyfriend), I think I'd want a little of that attention and time he seems to lavish on Brit!

Britney was whisked into the museum and taken upstairs in a private elevator and then placed directly in the most private booth in the VIP area. Macy Gray performed first, followed by Snoop, and then Fergie and Michael Jackson showed up at the end of the night to bestow his birthday greetings on Chrisitian.

I saw Mickey Rourke, Kim Kardashian, Pamela Anderson, and the french Elvis and Christian's business partner in Smet, Johnny Hallyday with his wife. There were naked peacock girls, acrobats spinning from fabric hanging from the ceiling, and a smattering of other stars and nobodies.

Britney was subdued and mostly stayed seated in her private booth with her dad, Jason, and assistant. She was smiling on the way in but left before the Gloved One appeared. Bodyguards kept most people away from Brit so, despite the place being packed -- even the VIP area -- Brit kept to her small entourage for the most part.

But it was a hot party -- any guy who can get Britney and Michael Jackson to celebrate his 50 years gets my vote!

It's good to see Britney out and about -- but maybe Jason could be her date for the night instead of her father always having to be around???

Britney to Kids: The Shopping Spree's for Me!

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

Holy American Express! The weaved wonder went on a Britastic Lisa Kline shopping spree this week -- and she got the goods!

Brit spent around $2,500 on herself - with her most expensive purchase a $380 Brian Reyes cami (yes- a tank top). She also walked out with a pair of Justin Timberlake's brand William Rast jeans. Missing those glory days?

Spears then dropped around $800 in Lisa Kline Kids, picking up cargo pants, jeans and a pair of "Rebel With a Cause" tees for her little Feds.

Total for the day - $3,300.

It was a girls' night out – plus dad – for Britney Spears Friday.

Britney's Wicked Workout

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Britney Spears caused a bit of a shakeup this week during a trip to a Bally's Total Fitness in Culver City, Calif., when the club accidentally double-booked the same excercise room for both her and a regular scheduled fitness class.

An eyewitness tells OK! that the singer's trainer booked a room for her at 7 p.m. PT, not realizing that another class was already scheduled to start in the same room at 7:30.

When Bally members showed up for the class, they were told it had been cancelled because Britney was using the room for her private session. This started a frenzy at the otherwise low-key fitness club. Eyewitnesses tell OK! many members thought Britney was behind the mixup and had used her celebrity status to keep the room for herself.

Britney has been frequenting the Culver City Bally's to work on dance routines. Gym sources say the singer has recently been incorporating more vigorous dance training into her workouts which require hard wood floors-- the reason why she didn't change excercise rooms.

But now OK! has learned that Brit had nothing to do with the scheduling mixup!

"The mistake had nothing to do with Britney," says John Wildman,Cheif Marketing Officer for Bally Total Fitness. "We mistakenly double-booked the excercise room. It was entirely our fault."

Wildman adds, "We gave members gifts and premiums and certificates to take other classes as compensation. Everyone understood that it was a mistake on our end and everyone was happy knowing that it will never happen again."

Seriously, it's the weekend people--can't we all just get along?

Britney Bonds With Her Boy

Talk about a decoy.

While we would normally be tempted to comment on Britney Spears' colorful dress or even her matted hair, we can't help but be more than a little distracted by how incredibly angelic-looking Jayden James appears as he peacefully rests his head on the singer's shoulder.

The two were spotted spending some quality time together on Wednesday.

Proving that, while Britney may be many things to many people, for her son, she's simply mom—and that we're simply suckers for a cute kid.

The Key To Successful Living

Earlier this week we saw the first pics of Britney Spears returning home to SoCal after a quick trip to Costa Rica with her father Papa Jamie Spears and (oddly enough) Mel Gibson ... today, we get the first pics of Britney's reunion with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (who she made a beeline for upon arrival back in LA) early Tuesday ... part of which she spent curled up with a good book -- Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams.

According to the book description on Amazon.com, Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams is a self-help book designed by the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul to help the reader learn the techniques for attracting the things in life that you most desire:

Long before co-creating the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Jack Canfield was already teaching the ancient principles of the Law of Attraction. Canfield has been consciously living in harmony with this universal law for more than thirty years, and his personal success is a testament to its power. Now, in Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction, he shares his knowledge and experience with you and offers you his proven tools and techniques for applying the Law of Attraction in your own life. This book is a simple 'how to' guide for using the Law of Attraction to create the life you desire. Within these pages, Canfield clearly explains not only what you need to know, but what you need to do in order to attract what you want in your life. Jack Canfield's Key to Living the Law of Attraction addresses the important issues of clarity, purpose, and action. This thought-provoking guide will take you step by step through the processes of defining your dreams, goals, and desires. Along the way, you will gain a greater understanding of yourself  a sense of who you really are and why you are here. Your journey begins right here, right now. You can change your life, increase your awareness, and empower yourself to create an amazing future  one that is filled with love, joy, and abundance.

This book is your key.

Personally, I am not a fan of self-help books but I can absolutely understand how they may prove beneficial for some readers. If these are the sorts of books that have helped Britney regain control of her life in such a way that she is, once-again, productive and able to interact with her family, friends and children in a successful way then I am all for them! These sorts of photos are such a far cry from the tragic pics we were subjected to all last year. I absolutely love the image of Britney holding her children. I also love the image of Britney reading a book ... any book. With reports that Britney is in talks to stage a huge comeback concert in Las Vegas, it make sense that she would try to ground herself beforehand to ensure that she may be successful. She can do it ... she is deffo on the right path for making the comeback of the century.

Brit to Aerobics Class: Get to Steppin'!

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

Britney Spears got her bump and grind on at a Bally health club yesterday - but not before tossing out a room full of aerobicizers.

We're told participants in the regularly scheduled exercise class were majorly PO'd that they got the boot. Gym staff tried to console the electrolyte-heavy crew with free t-shirts and water bottles - some of which literally were thrown back at them.

TMZ spoke with Bally's Chief Marketing Officer John Wildman who admitted that booting regulars for Spears was their fault -- someone at the gym double booked the room. He tells us "it will never happen again," and says members were offered access to other programs the gym offered.

A New Britney Album For '08?

WOOT! WOOT! The great Britney Spears news continues to come from her camp as People magazine reports that Britters has begun the initial stages of work on a follow-up album to her 2007 disc Blackout ... at least, according to producer and former flame JR Rotem:

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

This is amazing news ... but to be completely honest, I was hoping that Britters might be a little further along on her new album than just "early stages". I hope that the producers are just play coy about how much work has been done since we've seen that Britney has been hanging out in recording studios for months now. I am holding out hope that Britney will release a new album this Fall and will get back on the schedule of a releasing a new album each year. If you consider how great Blackout turned out considering the mental state she was in last year, then this new album has the potential to be an absolute killer -- and then a tour?! Wee! I can't wait!!!

We caught Britney Spears swinging by Bally yesterday afternoon for her daily workout regimen. Of course, Brit's visit wasn't all pleasure - as soon as we saw her manager Larry show up, we knew she was gettin' down to business, too!

But whatever the two talked about, it clearly didn't bother Britney - in fact, the pop princess left with one of the biggest smiles we've seen on her face in recent months! Might she have been strategizing for her comeback with Larry? Or could she still be in "vacation mode"?

Britney: Getting Back to Basics

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

Ah, nothing like a little R&R to help prepare an embattled pop star face the paparazzi crush that comes with going out in public.

Back from her minivacation at Mel Gibson's house in Costa Rica, Britney Spears quickly made up for lost opportunities to spend her $1,500 weekly allowance (and more) with a little shopping excursion.

For about an hour on Wednesday, the "Gimme More" singer shopped at the Lisa Kline store on L.A.'s trendy Robertson Boulevard, picking out items from both the women's boutique and the kids' store across the street.

"She was with her assistant and bodyguard," an eyewitness tells E! News. "She was really nice, as usual, and she looks great."

Britney spent $4,900 in total. But how did her shopping bucks break down? Keep reading for the answer!

While she dropped $4,000 in the women's store, she made sure to pick up goodies for sons Sean Preston and Jayden as well, spending another $900 at Lisa Kline Kids.

By the time Brit was ready to leave, a mob of more than 30 photographers had gathered outside, yelling her name.

"She walked out kind of expressionless," an observer tells E! News. "She is just used to all the photographers and their commotion."

Careful, Brit. If you start to mellow out and begin to take all the relentless attention for granted, it might very well go away.

Oh, who are we kidding?
