Britney Settling Up With Ex-Manager

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

Britney Spears has one less legal scuffle to come home to.

Attorneys for the touring poptart have settled a lawsuit brought by a manger Spears worked with in the early aughts who complained that she broke her agreement to pay him commissions until 2008.

The "Toxic" singer worked with Johnny Wright until 2003, according to the suit, and she stopped cutting him checks at the end of 2006.

Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, per the Los Angeles Times.

Also in court today, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz, who has been overseeing Spears' conservatorship and approving money exchanges right and left, signed off on another $193,000 in legal fees to be paid by Spears' estate mainly to the attorneys who handled this case.

Meanwhile, Spears had the night off Friday in between shows at London's O2 Arena, where she's set to perform eight times before moving the Circus to Manchester's M.E.N. Arena on June 17.

Spears Family 'Keep Her from Lohan'

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

Britney Spears's family have reportedly taken steps to keep the singer away from Lindsay Lohan while both are in London.

Spears is currently performing live at the O2 as part of her Circus tour, while Lohan is also in the capital.

A source told The Mirror: "Lindsay is a bit of a loose cannon. She landed in London knowing that her ex Sam Ronson and Britney are in town. She made a big deal about arriving by posting pictures of herself in London on Twitter.

"She and Lindsay used to be friends, but it was all about going out partying. Brit's family are trying to steer her away from the every night extremes that Lindsay gets up to."

Britney Spears Was Put on Prozac at 18

Britney Spears was prescribed Prozac—used for depression and panic attacks—at the age of 18. The singer, who rose to stardom in her teens, had stunning looks, bags of talent, a multi-million dollar fortune, and worldwide fame.

But, when it came to her personal life, she was a nervous wreck and was on Prozac at the tender age of 18 years. During the European leg of her ‘Oops! I Did It Again’ tour in the winter of 2000, Britney started having “massive anxieties” in the middle of the night.

“She had trouble sleeping and crying fits. She was restless and agitated. Nights were the only times she was alone and she struggled with that… When nothing was happening, it drove her crazy. Only exhaustion would knock her out,” the Mirror quoted a source close to Britney as saying.

Her anxiety was not drug-induced, but was her natural state, which got further aggravated by fame. Britney’s moods noticeably started swinging— high and happy one minute, sad and brooding the next.

And thus, the ‘Womaniser’ star was prescribed Prozac. However, she treated it like headache tablets, and took a pill only on the days she awoke depressed—this seemed to make her more hyper.

Alli Sims Opens Up About Life With Britney Spears

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

Britney Spears’ former assistant, Alli Sims, is breaking her silence for the very first time about the years she spent with the music superstar.

Alli lived with Britney in the pop star’s former gated community for over a year. She saw everything and in an Access Hollywood exclusive, revealed even at it’s worst, things with the pop star weren’t as bad as they were portrayed.

“I feel like the media made it appear a lot more insane than it really was,” Alli told Access.

Alli revealed that while she was at Britney’s side, they were constantly followed by the paparazzi.

“It was a minimum of 50 people following us,” she said. “It made everything look so much more hectic. It was crazy.”

Alli was Britney’s assistant for one year until reports said she was let go.

When asked if she was fired from the job, Alli said, “No.”

“I still lived with her after I wasn’t working with her and we’re still best friends,” Alli said.

When asked about the reports that Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, said she couldn’t come around anymore, Alli said that was true.

“Yeah, he definitely said that,” she said. “You know, they’re very controlling and that’s fine and I just stepped back. I’m not going to fight nine lawyers and parents.”

In fact, it was a team of lawyers that handled a divorce, child custody and questions about Britney’s mental health. And with Jamie in charge, they brought order to Britney’s life.

“They pretty much cut out everyone, honestly,” Alli said.

And despite reports that Britney is bi-polar or suffers from post-partum depression, Alli said she didn’t see evidence of such conditions.

“I just feel like, you know, she had kids fast,” Alli said. “There was a divorce going on and that’s a lot for a young person to handle.”

In January 2008, Britney barricaded herself and son Jayden at her then home, refusing to give him back to ex-husband, Kevin Federline. Alli said the reason Britney refused is quite simple.

“She was just like, ‘I wasn’t ready for them… you know, to go home,’” Alli recounted. “It was a mom just being protective and a mom that didn’t want her kids to leave… I mean, it’s weird when you have kids three days a week and you’re used to having them all day everyday.”

During one stretch of Alli’s tenure with Britney, the star was hospitalized twice in one month. The second time she was taken by ambulance to the UCLA Medical Center’s Psychiatric Ward.

When asked how Britney was in the hospital, Alli said she was OK.

“Fine, fine. Honestly, fine,” she said.

As a result, Britney temporarily lost visitation rights to both her boys in January 2008.

“I think that was a really harsh step,” Alli said. “It looked a lot worse than it was… I actually got subpoenaed for the custody case and I was in there for eight hours and it was brutal. But, I mean, I just sat in there and told the truth. There was nothing bad to say.”

Alli hasn’t spoken to Britney in over a year. She’s spent the time doing what she says Britney encouraged her to do – pursue her music.

Alli’s first single, “Driving Blind,” is about missing someone. In this case, Britney.

“I want her to know when she hears [it], that it is about her and I miss her friendship,” Alli said.

Britney Spears Does It Again with a 'Remarkable Return' at the O2 Arena

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

Her life has often appeared to be something of a freak show, but Britney Spears put her troubles behind her last night as she opened her European tour with a wonderfully theatrical concert with a Big Top theme.

Billed as The Circus Starring Britney Spears, it was a relentlessly high octane and superbly choreographed affair that delighted 23,000 fans.

The 27-year-old superstar's fortunes had appeared to be on the wane two years ago, with her singing career increasingly overshadowed by a messy divorce, a stint in rehab and a custody battle for her two young children.

But, musically at least, things have since looked up dramatically.

With her affairs now handled by her father the singer's last two albums, Blackout and Circus, have re-established her credentials.

Moving away from the bubblegum tunes of her teen years, the Louisiana-born singer has skilfully repositioned herself as a grown-up diva who leans heavily towards electronic dance music and modern R&B.

This show, the first of eight in London and one in Manchester, capped what has been a remarkable comeback.

Presented in the round, with three circular stages positioned amid flashing lights in the middle of the arena, it afforded every member of the largely female audience an excellent view of proceedings.

It was certainly a vast improvement on 2004's Onyx Hotel tour.

The opening salvo focussed heavily on songs from Blackout and Circus.

The show had been proceeded by a video introduction from Hollywood gossip columnist Perez Hilton, in which Spears was billed as 'the mistress of ceremonies'.

Dressed as a ringmaster in a black top hat and red tails the singer made a grand entrance, descending into the hall from above, suspended in a harness.

She then sang the title track from Circus before launching into another recent hit, Piece of Me.

For this song, a bikini-clad Britney was paraded around the three stages while gyrating in a gilded cage - a metaphor, surely, for a life lived in the spotlight.

Surrounded by scantily-clad dancers, a blonde Britney looked trimmer than of late as she lifted the audience out of their seats dancing to her third song, Womanizer.

The show, which took some inspiration from recent tours by Madonna, placed visual values on a par with musical content although the majority of the fans seemed more than happy with this.

Britney might possess a breathless, raspy voice with an appealing Southern twang on record, but she has never been one of pop's more stunning singers on stage.

Her dance moves, too, were so energetic that it was sometimes difficult to assess whether all of her vocals were fully live.

But those dance moves were mostly brilliantly realised: one song, Boys, featured her interacting with a troupe of MBX cyclists; another, Me Against the Music, boasted a thrilling Arabian Nights theme.

While the show concentrated predominantly on recent hits there was room at the end of the show for old favourites Toxic and Baby One More Time.

Only the foolhardy would predict that Spears' offstage problems have all been consigned to history. But on the evidence of the spectacular witnessed in Docklands last night she is currently staging one of pop's most remarkable comebacks.

Seemingly against the odds, Britney has done it again.

Britney's Circus Hits London In Style

All around the O2, the posters and flashing billboards reminded us that Britney Spears’s first UK shows in five years were something other than a mere arena show. If you wanted to be reductive about it, you could argue that The Circus Starring Britney Spears merely alluded to the singer’s current album (also entitled The Circus). However, for the most Googled person on the planet, the imagery was excitingly apposite on all sorts of other levels. Lest we forget, a circus is a travelling show where strange and freakish spectacles unfold before you on a stage, possibly featuring heavily sedated creatures who don’t seem entirely sure of their surroundings. For anyone who remembers Spears’s infamous MTV Video Music Award “comeback” less than two years ago, there’s no need to dwell on the resonances here.

But at this biggest of big tops, it was a more alert Spears who descended from the rigging on to the biggest of the three circular stages in a saucy ringmaster’s get-up. Performing The Circus she negotiated a human tide of cavorting dancers dressed in burlesque bondage gear and freakish masks. Was she really singing? A debate that has rumbled on in newsprint and internet forums since the tour began three months ago wasn’t easily settled by watching her lips.

Certainly, even without any big screens to help to decide the matter, you registered the lack of any apparent physical exertion as she got to grips with her stinging anti-paparazzi address Piece Of Me. By the same token, there were times when it felt churlish to mind: the lavish Bollywood shakedown of Me Against The Music; the sheer randomness of a version of Toxic which involved freighting modified metal bedsteads at speed across the stage. And who wouldn’t have chosen to lip-sync on Ooh Ooh Baby — whose set piece saw the 27-year-old mother of two climb in a box and have her entire torso seemingly shunted to the left of the rest of her body. In what constituted something of a high point, the song then segued into Hot As Ice, which saw Spears seemingly teleported 30 yards without the tassled platinum dress she had been wearing seconds before.

It was a set heavily reliant on the last two albums — a surprise, in a sense, given the events in her life that they have soundtracked. By the same token, a chief signifier of Spears’s iconic status is that the more dramatic her life becomes, the better material she seems to inspire from songwriters. Propelled by almost subsonic hip-hop beats, Get Naked (I Got A Plan) truly came into its own.

But postmodern as you tried to be about the whole singing/not singing debate, it was hard not to feel an hitherto-absent frisson of emotional engagement on the occasions when she obviously was. Everytime was a case in point. Whatever other problems she has encountered in her tempestuous life, vertigo certainly isn’t one of them.

Perched on the hook of a precariously suspended umbrella, she received one of the biggest cheers of the evening for a performance of Everytime that came, if not from the heart, then from the diaphragm.

Such moments of old-fashioned entertainment notwithstanding, it was the sheer timeless ubiquity of Baby One More Time (and possibly the fact that she was performing it in leather lingerie) that elicited the biggest roar. That she returned dressed as a kinky policewoman for Womanizer was no disaster. As she set about admonishing the errant cad in the song, she imperiously waved her truncheon at any passing dancers who happened to come too near to it.

If the overheard chatter of the departing throng was anything to go by, 90 minutes of lavish costume changes, camp choreography and cabaret club magic just about mitigated lingering doubts concerning the veracity of her singing. If she did mime, perhaps it didn’t matter. After all, don’t mime artists also belong in a circus?

Roll up for Britney Spears's Circus

Since Britney Spears's last UK concert in 2004, she has been married, had two children, got divorced, shaved off her hair, been admitted to hospital and taken her former manager and an ex-boyfriend to court.

Her recent TV appearances, including last year's X Factor performance, have seemed lacklustre and non-committal.

So the question on the opening night of her European tour was which Britney was going to turn up: the pop princess with the killer moves, or the disaster-struck diva in her slipped crown?
It was largely the former, "good" Britney. But it was a close call.

The theme for the night was the circus - a reference to the star's recent album, her fastest-seller in the UK to date.

Carnival rides had been erected outside the arena, while the daredevil acrobats of the Big Apple Circus provided the night's opening act.

Showgirl

When Britney appeared, descending from the ceiling, she was dressed in a red ringmaster's jacket, cracking a whip as she called her audience to attention.

"I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl," she trilled in the opening song, and the girl didn't lie.

The concert was an unparalleled visual spectacle, full of magic tricks, gymnastics and costume changes (nine in all, including policewoman and burlesque dancer).

On stage were dozens of clowns, dancers, unicycles, acrobats, podiums, giant picture frames, period furniture and, at the centre of it all, the mistress of ceremonies herself.

But if Britney pulled out all the stops to divert people's eyes, it was only so they'd ignore their ears screaming, "she's miming!"

It's hard to be 100% sure, of course, but it wouldn't come as a complete surprise to learn that much of the 19-song set was lip-synced.

The band's contribution was hard to gauge too, tucked away as they were off the main stage, providing near-identical renditions of Britney's superlative robo-pop.

But does any of this really matter?

Not really. The audience weren't there to judge a music grade examination, they just wanted to witness the phenomenon.

Here was a girl they'd watched grow up, identified with, idolised and then prayed for as her life fell spectacularly apart.

At the O2, they were willing her on, hoping for a fairytale ending to that tragic story. And she did her best to oblige.

Blindfold

Britney was focused and engaged. The dancing sizzled and the 27-year-old's moves had regained their former snap and punch.

One early highlight was her two-finger salute to the tabloids, Piece Of Me ("I'm Miss bad media karma, another day another drama").

Britney started the song in a gilded cage, trapped like a performing circus animal. By the end, she'd broken free and taken control of her former masters. Subtle? No. But a great piece of theatre.

When, during Touch Of My Hand, she spun into the air, blindfolded and suspended from the arm of a dancer in bondage gear, the flash of camera bulbs could have lit the Grand Canyon during a solar eclipse.

Elsewhere, Britney borrowed from Bollywood on a colourful Me Against The Music, and was sawn in half during Ooh Ooh Baby.

It wasn't until the halfway point, however, that the star remembered to address the audience.

It was profound, too. "What's up London?" she shouted, before launching into the night's sole ballad, Everytime, which she sang perched on the handle of a huge floating umbrella. Seriously.

If there was a fault to the set, it was the decision to focus on material from Britney's two most recent records at the expense of classics like Oops! I Did It Again.

As a result, the crowd never rose to its feet en masse until the show's closing one-two-three sucker punch of Toxic, ...Baby One More Time and Womanizer.

Meanwhile, the choreography - so tight and intricate at the beginning - began to drift into aimless posing and hip-swivelling.

Britney was a particular culprit here, strutting across the stage while her dancers put in the hard work around her.

So, in the end, she didn't quite give it her all.

But maybe it's a good thing that Britney has finally learned to hold something back for herself.

As Britney Spears' Circus Comes To Town A New Book Looks At The Night She Went Into Meltdown

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

Amid a frenzy of anticipation, Britney Spears’ sell-out Circus tour rolls into town today.

It won rave reviews across the Atlantic, so hopes are high for the 27-year-old pop star’s UK dates, beginning at London’s O2 Arena.

Yet a mere 18 months ago it seemed as if the curtain had come down on her pop career for good.

With the world watching, Britney fell apart – crumbling under the pressure of a messy divorce, a custody battle over her two young sons, and family feuds.

Now a fascinating book reveals for the first time what went on in Britney’s mind during her meltdown.

Here, in the first of our exclusive serialisation of Britney: Inside the Dream by Steve Dennis, we expose how booze, rows and a famous ex led to her chaotic comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards…

Seven minutes before her live performance, Britney’s dressing room door opened and a collective look of horror fell upon the faces of her management team.

“What the f***?” shouted one.

It was immediately clear that her much-hyped comeback was about to become car crash TV, a global display of a pop star unravelling.

At the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney had pledged to show everyone “the bitch is back”.

In front of millions of fans, and some sceptical industry bosses, she had to prove that despite the messy divorce, custody battle, head shaving and stints in rehab, she still had the talent that had made her a global phenomenon.

Now, for the first time, the backstage events leading up to that disastrous performance can be revealed.

Raged

Efforts were made to ensure it all went smoothly. Britney had rehearsed for five weeks with handpicked dancers.

She had got Dita Von Teese’s stylist Trish Somerville, to create a flattering black one-piece for the make-or-break performance. And she had managed to secure the services of Ken Paves, dubbed Hollywood’s hottest hairdresser.

But Britney herself managed to ruin the most important performance of her life. Hours before the show, her anxieties raged. She decided it was a good idea to start drinking tequila shots to calm her nerves – one after the other.

Her prickliness wasn’t helped when her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake popped by to say good luck.

“He was cool and couldn’t have been friendlier, but that wigged her out more,” says a backstage source. “She was freaking out over the littlest thing.”

Her low self-esteem, until now hidden, was making itself known as anger and a difficult attitude. And the sagas of the previous months were all stirred up by the pressure to deliver.

Britney was terrified, and the good luck gesture from Justin was a final reminder that this was a huge broadcast.

Unworthy in her own mind, she would render herself unworthy in public.

The source says: “Brit is someone wanting to be loved, not used, not treated like a robot, not there for everyone else to make money, and not working all the time. It was inevitable she was going to reach the ‘F*** it! F*** you!’ stage. The great sadness is that she reached it in the run-up to this big moment.”

Ninety minutes before the show, Ken Paves entered the dressing room with an assistant, carrying golden hair extensions in his little box. “I don’t like him! I want his assistant,” announced Britney.

The assistant pledged her loyalty to Ken and Britney instructed her bodyguard to forcibly remove Ken from the room

In the corridor outside, observers saw Ken being shoved out the door, remonstrating: “I’ve never been so insulted in my life!” He was still carrying Britney’s hair extensions, tissue-wrapped.

Then word came through to management: “Britney’s just fired Ken Paves.” As they gained access to her dressing room, she explained she didn’t like his attitude.

“That’s great Britney, but you need him right now. He has your hair extensions,” she was told.

Britney, whose hair was still short following her head-shaving incident, pondered this reality: “OK then, he can come back.” But after retreating to his hotel room, Ken Paves wasn’t answering his phone or his door.

Fishnets

Britney seemed oblivious to the distress she had caused. And it dawned on MTV that their opening act was playing up – and she had no hair.

Nelly Furtado’s stylist came to the rescue, but Britney still needed hair extensions – from the hotel’s salon. The source says: “By now everyone was frying.”

In her dressing room, Britney was knocking back another shot. Once the stylist had saved the day, everyone was asked to leave so that Britney could slip into her striking Trish Somerville one-piece.

Instead she emerged in a black bra, black hotpants and fishnets, showing an unflattering paunch.

Britney’s reps insisted she change.

“It’s too f***ing late! We’ve got to get her on stage!” shouted an MTV assistant.

The source says: “Everyone knew it all hinged on her hitting the first line we’d rehearsed to a T – look down the camera on a close-up and lip-sync, ‘It’s Britney, bitch!’ If she could hold that line, and get through, she’d won.

“But the music started, and she stood and stared at the camera without moving her lips. At that moment, we knew it was over.”

What followed was an infamous performance in which Britney looked more like a wasted clubber in Vegas than a pop princess who was “in the zone”.

In one evening, she had sabotaged her hair, her designed outfit, her choreography and her reputation. Britney got the attention she craves, but this time as a laughing stock and an object of pity.

Within minutes of leaving the stage, she was in tears as the show continued.

A door from a backstage corridor burst open on to the emptied casino floor outside the auditorium. Britney, wearing a hooded sweater over her stage outfit, tore through, shoulders up, head down.

She spotted an open-air, but closed, restaurant called Guardino’s and dived under its roped-off barriers. She walked to the second floor and sat on the floor.

From a distance, Britney was seen using a mobile phone, either furiously texting or repeatedly dialling. An off-duty waiter brought her a glass of water and there she sat for 45 minutes, crying.

Lesser stars could never have recovered. But no one should ever underestimate Britney.

Bald truth of rebel’s hair shave

Britney sat still and looked in the mirror at her newly shorn head, tears welling in her eyes.

Minutes earlier she had ordered her driver to pull over at Esther’s Hair Salon in LA, complained her hair extensions were too tight and announced: “I want my hair shaved off.”

Now, after grabbing the electric buzzer and shearing her mousy locks off, there was nothing anyone could do.

“She said her mom was going to be mad,” remembers hairdresser Esther. “And she got a little teary-eyed. She all of a sudden realised what she did.”

The stylist, who had tried to talk her out of this public sabotage, tried to make her feel better by complimenting her “nice shaped head” while photographers outside rushed to their laptops to wire the photos that would, in minutes, be circulated around the globe.

The pictures convinced the watching world that Britney was losing the plot and on the verge of a cataclysmic breakdown.

But the head-shaving had little to do with self-loathing, more a loathing against the public persona that had defined her until then.

What few people knew was that Britney was rowing with her mum, Lynne, who seemed to be incessantly reminding her of her motherly duties and responsibilities. What made Britney most irate was that her mama kept mentioning how her ex Kevin Federline wasn’t forever on the town. This was all being viewed as controlling behaviour.

The head-shaving moment was the culmination of an escalating rebellion, heightened by heartbreak over her divorce and custody battle, that can be traced back to 2004 when Britney decided she no longer wished to conform, be controlled or take instruction.

Britney had been well-coached in the messages that imagery conveys and this one dramatic image told her mama, and any other interested controllers: “So now what are you going to do with the pop star?”

What better way to rid herself of the performer’s identity than by losing the very hair she was famous for; sabotaging the act to free the person?

Suddenly, the superficiality of the pop star lay on the salon floor.

Britney Spears Likes Going to Bed Early While on Tour

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

Britney Spears says her life’s different when she’s on tour — because she goes to bed earlier than she would do normally.

“I like going to bed early and getting up early,” the singer, 27, tells the UK’s More! magazine in a new interview. “I just think it’s a much better way to live my life, especially when I have my kids — I need to have a lot of energy because they just have so much energy themselves!”

Spears also revealed the secret to her incredibly toned body. “I used to be a workout freak,” she says, “but after I had my kids it was a lot harder for me to get back into that routine.

“I used to love going to the gym but then as you get older and you have more responsiblities you lose that kind of discipline. Even now I have a much harder time getting mentally psyched to train, but once I’m in the gym I start getting into it and I feel great.”

Britney Spears: ‘I’m Learning to Relax’

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

Britney Spears is learning to relax more and not take things so seriously.

The singer — who suffered a highly-publicized breakdown in 2008 — says in an interview with Britain’s More! magazine that she’s finally getting her life back on track.

“I feel positive, I feel much happier, and things are looking good again,” she said. “I’m learing to relax more and take everything in my stride, and to not place so much pressure on myself.”

“I’m learning to take better care of myself,” she added, “and not get stress or down about things for nothing. I’m taking my time these days and not letting myself feel any pressure other than to just feel happy and to work on my music.”

Asked how she currently feels about her life, the 27-year-old said, “There are so many things that I am grateful for. I just want to make the most of this time in my life and build from there. It’s a good feeling.”

Spears is currently in London for the UK leg of her Circus world tour.

Sexy Britney's Naughty Extra

BRITNEY SPEARS is plotting the filthiest aftershow party to hit these shores for decades.

Tomorrow sees the troubled star's first UK gig for five years as her Circus world tour hits London's O2 arena for the first of eight shows in 11 days there.

But her gig flesh-flashing will be blown out of the water by the nearby indigO2 venue's club night after each show.

Club Dada starts when Britney leaves the O2 stage and will feature naked acrobats, topless burlesque babes and dancing dwarves.

I was thinking the Toxic singer's bondage-themed tour show, with whips, latex, blindfolds and acres of bare flesh, was racy enough on its own.

But I'd queue for the post-gig action.

More Legal Fee Drama For Britney Spears

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

The cottage industry known as the “The Conservatorship of the Person and the Estate of Britney Jean Spears Legal Team” filed new papers with the Los Angeles County Superior Court last night amending the amount of legal fees it seeks to collect from Britney’s former colleagues.

CLICK HERE FOR COURT DOCUMENTS

For its time and trouble in obtaining restraining orders against Sam Adnan Ghalib, Sam Lutfi and Jon Eardley, and fighting off Lutfi and Eardley’s challenges to those orders, the Spears attorneys are asking the court to award them a total of $301,290.19.

They’re now requesting $65,552.58 from paparazzi Ghalib, $114,552.90 from former manager Lutfi, and $121,184.71 from lawyer Jon Eardley.

At almost $20,000 less than the original request, that’s a glimmer of good news for the defendants.

In his lawsuit, Mendoza says Britney's people -- who are also defendants -- "should have known...Britney was not in the mental, emotional and/or physical condition to operate the subject motor vehicle in a safe and reasonable manner."

She ran over his foot ... and it did look painful.
