Britney partying too hard again? - May 24 2007
Britney apparently failed to impress Madonna’s brother at her recent Miami show, amid reports that the troubled young star might be jeopardising her recovery by hitting the nightclub scene again.
An attendee at the gig told the New York Post that Madge’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, who was also in the crowd, said: "My sister would never go onstage looking like that," as he took in Brit’s white go-go boots and "ratty" blonde hair extensions ensemble.
The singer has also been criticised after being spotted "dancing feverishly" at Teddy’s nightclub in Hollywood on May 17, then "shaking it" in the VIP room of Miami club, Set until 4.30am after her mini-concert at Mansion, according to Us Weekly magazine sources.
Dr Harris Stratyner, regional vice president at the Caron New York Recovery Center, who’s never treated Britney, warns that staying away from the club scene is a key factor in recovering from addiction.
He told the magazine: "It’s best if she stays away from people, places and things that might trigger her picking up a drink or a drug.
"I would advise her to continue with a program, to continue with self-help, to continue seeing a therapist, to take medication if she needs it."
Britney’s backing track disaster - May 21 2007
Things are never dull in the world of Britney Spears, and the excitement continued at a comeback gig on Saturday when her backing track got stuck.
The 25-year-old was performing at the House Of Blues in Orlando when the music skipped three times during a performance of the song Do Something.
As the crowd jeered, the embarrassed singer turned her back to the audience before attempting to make light of it.
It happened at the latest in a series of short comeback gigs, and the troubled star was performing under the name The M+Ms.
Wearing a blonde wig, short denim skirt and pink bra, she treated the crowd to just five songs including Hit Me Baby One More Time and Toxic.
The mini-tour follows a tumultuous time - during which Britney has divorced aspiring rapper and father of her two young children Kevin Federline, had a series of run-ins with the paparazzi, shaved off all her hair and checked into rehab.
Britney’s dancer sings her praises - May 11 2007
A dancer who performed with Britney on her recent mini-comeback tour has been waxing lyrical about her time with the recovering star.
"She looks so good she should model," dancer Crisilla Crossland told the Las Vegas Review-Journal of Britney’s growing-out buzz cut, which is now apparently about 2in long.
She added that Britney even asked her dance troupe, "Would y’all cut your hair?" - though none of them apparently took the star up on her request.
The dancer also revealed that the singer is currently rehearsing two new songs, describing the new sound as "amazing".
Meanwhile, Brit, who performed four shows last week, has returned to the dance studio to continue her rigorous workouts.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
