Britney managing herself, kids very well

Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Britney Spears has become her own manager and publicist. The singer, who is still signed to her label Jive Records, has nonetheless decided to carry out all her business deals on her own, and decide what direction she wants her career to take.

"She is doing all of her own business now," the New York Post quoted a source, as saying. And in keeping with her new persona, Britney was spotted at Aspen recently "signing contracts".

Britney recently cut ties with her manager Larry Rudolf, her mother Lynne, and her publicist. And, it seems that one of the first things that Britney will be doing, is opening the LAX nightclub in Las Vegas, a rep for the hotspot revealed.

The investors for the nightspot, which opens on 31 August, includes Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie's former fiance DJ AM.

"Britney Spears will host the grand opening," People magazine quoted the rep, as saying. However, it is not known if the 'Toxic' star will perform on the occasion.

Meanwhile, pop star Christina Aguilera has leapt to the defence of fellow singer Britney Spears' parenting skills.

The 'Dirrty' singer, who is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Jordan Bratman, recently sympathised with the 'Toxic' singer by saying that she is a wonderful mother. "Britney is a good person and a good mom," Contactmusic quoted Aguilera, as saying.

Though Aguilera claimed that the pressures of childhood fame have had adverse effects on her pal Spears, she insisted that the troubled singer is not a bad parent. "She's been under so much pressure since she was a child. I don't think any of us should judge her or jump to conclusions. She loves her boys and they're turning out great," she said.
