For those of you a bit confused by news that Britney is working on a new album just a couple of months after announcing she was taking a break from the music biz, here's Ms Spears herself with an explanation.
"I think I should rephrase myself from my previous letters when
I was talking about taking a 'break'. What I meant was I am taking a break from being told what to do. It's cool when you look at someone and don't know whether they are at work or play since it's all the same to them."
As reported yesterday, Jive Records have confirmed Britney is working on new material as we speak. Meanwhile Ms Spears, according to the New York Daily News at least, has appointed a new manager
- Lloyd Grove, once the right hand man of Larry Rudolph, the manager Britney abruptly broke company with late last year.
Rumour has it Spears favours Grove over Rudolph because her old manager wasn't so keen on her idea that new husband **Kevin
Federline** is a hip hop star in the making.
