“Jamie’s control over Britney’s life is incredible,” News.com.au quoted a friend as revealing.

“He wants her to put across the right impression,” the friend added.

The pop singer's Twitter page was targeted by hackers on Saturday. One announced her death to her two million followers, saying: "Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come."

Britney wears magical ring to boost inner strength

Pop star Britney Spears has been wearing a magical ring that gives her confidence.

The 27-year-old singer was spotted wearing a tourmaline rock, which boosts inner strength and provides a sense of stability.

Celebrity designer Dara Dubinet gifted the ring to the Womaniser star to help her get back on track following her public breakdown last year, reports the China Daily.

“I made the ring with Britney in mind. When something is made with good intention, it carries that positive energy to the person who ends up wearing it,” she told Life and Style Weekly magazine.

She is reluctant to dance in front of choreographer Wade Robson, with whom she has been working since 1999.

Britney Spears has given up the role of Virgin Mary

Pop queen Britney Spears has given up the role of Virgin Mary in the new movie ‘Sweet Baby Jesus’, and she may now be writing and performing the closing number for the film.

The decision to cast the then chaotic Spears as the Virgin Mary had been made by French film Producer Philippe Rebboah late last year, but it was later changed when the Toxic singer ran into trouble.

The production is set to start rolling in Bethlehem, Md, in January, and the decision-makers have now decided to go with a ‘real’ actress as opposed to a pop personality.

But Spears might still get a chance to remain associated with the movie by doing what she does best.

Britney takes back 55-hr hubby as ‘butler’

Britney Spears has put her 55-hour former hubby Jason Alexander on the pay roll to be her butler, according to pals.

The pop icon, who has stunned all with her gradual return to stability, offered the job to her childhood pal after learning that he had squandered the 300,000 divorce settlement paid by the singer.

The 26-year-old is trying to help out buddy Jason who has been struggling with his acting and singer career and lived in a grimy flat since the couple split four years ago, according to her close friend.

“She’s going to give Jason all the support she can and make sure he has a decent income so he can keep his dreams alive,” the Daily Star quoted the friend as saying.

The pop princess, whose Las Vegas marriage to Jason ended in less than three days, is said to be happier with ‘the butler’ around.

The friend said: “He’s proving to be a real tonic for her.”

Britney's ex-boyfriend could find himself behind bars

Britney Spears' ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib could find himself behind bars if he tried to sell the sêx tape featuring him and the singer.

The paparazzi photographer, who dated Britney during her public meltdown, had offered the tape for sale inviting the highest bid and was trying to sell it to Internet's pay-per-view po rn websites for 5.6million pounds.

Meanwhile, the singer has decided to fight back and her lawyers have filed a lawsuit claiming that Britney was mentally instable when the video was shot.

The 2-hour long tape was allegedly shot while the duo was holidaying in Mexico earlier this year - around the same time when Britney was struggling with depression, drug addiction and nervous breakdowns.

The singer had landed in hospital psychiatric wards twice after a string of public meltdowns and had also lost custody of her children control of her finances before being filmed with Ghalib.

"Brit's attorneys will argue that she was coerced into being filmed having sêx with Ghalib while the balance of her mind was disturbed," the Daily Star quoted a family source as saying.

The source said: "Every shred of evidence supports this.

"The whole world watched earlier this year as she was strapped on to a gurney and carted off to a mental ward."

The 35-year old Brummie, who, according to pals, has been struggling financially since being ditched by Britney, could face up to ten years behind bars if he were to break the injunction.

Lynne Spears takes blame for Britney's woes

The mother of pop star Britney Spears on Wednesday heaped the blame for her daughters' erratic behavior throughout 2007 and early this year on herself in a television interview saying "it's always my fault."

Appearing on the morning TV talk show "Today" on NBC, Lynne Spears also said that she first thought it was joke when her younger daughter Jamie Lynn announced she was pregnant at age 16 -- in a note.
"It said she was pregnant and everything was going to be OK. She was going to raise it ... I thought it was a joke. I was waiting for the punch line," Lynne Spears told interviewer Meredith Vieira.

"I was in shock. I think I was just truly in shock, and then I started to cry. And she started consoling me at that point."

Jamie Lynn gave birth to a girl in June and is raising the baby with her boyfriend in their Mississippi home.
Spears, 53, said she accepted much of the blame for the crises of the past two years. Britney shaved her head, went in and out of rehab, lost custody of her children and was hospitalized in a psychiatric ward.

"As a mother, don't we always blame ourselves?" she said. "I took a lot of the blame. I took all the blame. The personality I have, it's always my fault."

Spears has written a memoir, "Through The Storm" which is being published this week, about the rise to fame of her daughters.

She said her family had no idea how difficult life was to become after Britney had her first hit, in 1998, with "Baby One More Time" at the age of 17.

"There's the honeymoon phase at first," Lynne Spears said. "Everything is fabulous. Look at the wonderful trips she gets to go on. Look at the wonderful people she's meeting.

"Then there's the ugly side of things that turns, and we weren't ready for that, either."

Britney Spears, 26,, has turned her life around in the past six months with her father now managing her affairs and a new album due out in December. Looking fit and glowing, she won three MTV video music awards last week.

"She's strong," Lynne Spears said. "She's resilient. She's had some big bumps in the road, but Britney's fine. Britney is headed to the top once again. I have no fears about Britney."

Britney Spears to open MTV Video Music Awards

It's Britney, baby, one more time. Despite her train-wreck performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last year, the network confirms Spears will kick off the show once again.

But it won't be a performance. Instead, MTV Networks Music Group President Van Toffler said Wednesday, it'll be something "fun and unexpected" on Sunday night's show.

Unexpected is probably the kindest way to describe Spears' performance at last year's VMAs. In what was heavily promoted as the troubled singer's comeback, she instead gave an unfocused, almost unwatchable performance of "Gimme More," one of the many low points in her year of debacles.

So what made Spears and MTV reunite one more time?

"MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs? I'm excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated," Spears said in a statement.

"I think for Britney, people are rooting for her, and she's really on the road to recovery," Toffler said, noting that MTV had nominated her for three VMAs, including video of the year, for her clip "Piece of Me."

"It feels like it's her year," he added. "It's our 25th anniversary of the VMAs, and she's been such a critical piece of MTV's history."

While she bombed in 2007, Spears has given the VMAs many highlights over the years, from her kiss with Madonna to her performance with a writhing snake.

Spears also equals ratings gold: Last year's VMAs were up 23 percent over the 2006 show.

In recent months, Spears, who's working on a new album, has appeared to have cleaned up her act (although a judge on Wednesday refused to dismiss a misdemeanor driving without-a-valid-license case against her). Her father James has been in control of her personal and professional matters as her legal conservator, and she drew high ratings and positive reviews when she made guest appearances on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" earlier this year.

So far, the confirmed performers for Sunday's show include the Jonas Brothers, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, T.I. and Kid Rock.

Toffler also raised the possibility of another troubled pop icon appearing: Michael Jackson.

"We've been talking to him as well, I don't know if that's going to happen," he said. "People fall in and fall out up until the day of the show."
