Britney Gets Her Dance On Behind The Scenes

Yes She Can!

Nearly a year after a breakdown, Britney Spears says she feels as if she has matured.

To be exact, "I feel like an old person now," she says in Rolling Stone's next issue, out Friday. "I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don't go out or anything."

Spears turns 27 on Dec. 2, the same day her album, Circus, hits stores. "This is going to be the album that cements her legend status," says her manager, Larry Rudolph.

Indeed, the pop star has come a long way from her two trips to hospital psychiatric wards this year, the magazine says. After the last trip, in early February, her father, Jamie, filed for legal conservatorship so that he and attorney Andrew Wallet would oversee her finances and personal affairs.

Interviewing the star is a "rigorously micromanaged process," according to Rolling Stone.

"We were never left alone together, and my questions had to be submitted ahead of time for approval," reporter Jenny Eliscu writes.

Rudolph says, "Her job is to be Britney Spears, and unfortunately, that job bleeds into her personal life and creates this odd situation where she needs to have security people around her all the time."

That goes for dates, too. Recently, Spears was accompanied by her assistant, Brett, and Rudolph's colleague, Adam Leber. "Right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad," Spears says. "He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier. … So I had to get dessert first. And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older. … We're trying to ask him questions, like, 'OK, you're into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?' And he was like, 'Oh, all kinds.' … But you know how silly we are, so we were just cracking up."

She turns serious on the topic of her children. Despite losing custody of her sons, Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, to her ex-husband Kevin Federline, Spears has been able to see them more often, thanks in part to the conservatorship.

"Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they're such special people," she says.

She is critical of her ex and says the children "are starting to learn words like 'stupid,' and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn't get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids."

Britney has a SECRET!

Little Jayden was Hospitalized

November 9

Britney Spears's trip home with her sons this weekend took an unexpected serious turn when her 2-year-old Jayden was rushed to a Kentwood-area hospital at 1:30 p.m. Sunday. But the toddler is "fine," according to a source close to the family.

"He's doing fine," the source tells PEOPLE. "They kept him overnight."

Jayden was taken to the hospital after suffering "a terrible allergic reaction. He had hives, was itchy and irritable," according to the source, who says that Britney Spears and her mother, Lynne, spent the night at the hospital with Jayden.

As for what caused the reaction, "They're just not sure," said the source.


Just prior to the incident, Britney, Jamie Lynn, Bryan, Lynne and Jamie Spears were enjoying a fun afternoon at the family's Serenity mansion, the boys' first trip out of California with their mother since she lost custody.

November 10

Jayden James has been discharged from the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center this evening according to TMZ.com.

Jayden was reportedly treated for an allergic reaction to food.

Hope he gets home safe & sound!

If you'd like to leave Jayden & Britney some happy thoughts during this rough time, check out the "Get Well Soon, Jayden" guestbook.

UPDATE: According to Britney's official website, Jayden seems to be doing much better: "Just got word from the family that things are looking up for little Jayden," as reported by the site's social media director.

Britney and Justin's Mini Reunion at Madonna Concert

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake each took the stage in separate appearances at Madonna's Sticky & Sweet tour at L.A.'s Dodger Stadium Thursday night.

But, PEOPLE has learned, the two actually crossed paths during rehearsal. Timberlake was first, and then Spears came on stage to run through her part. "They said 'hi' to each other. Justin was very cool," a source says.

Spears also lingered and watched Timberlake's entire sound check from the first few rows of the stands.

Adds another source, "This was a night for [Britney] to enjoy, and not stress over. This was a good moment for her to just enjoy and have fun."

And enjoy she did. Dressed in satin black pants and white suit shirt with ruffle, Spears has been appearing in a taped segment during Madonna's "Human Nature" performance since the beginning of the tour. Her "It's Britney, b----!" segment she did live.

Kisses Hand This Time

Madonna greeted her with "Hi Britney!" And Spears, with her blonde hair flowing and red lips smiling, moved to the beat as she sang the last chorus on "Human Nature" with Madonna.

"She's not your b----" Madonna proclaimed, pointing at Spears who replied with her classic line: "It's Britney, b----!"

Madonna had to swing her around three times to get her to loosen up a little bit and, in a far cry from the 2003 smooch, kisses Spears on the hand as her platform sunk below the stage.

"4 Minutes" came on and remixed into "Vogue" as Spears disappeared from view.

Timberlake later joined Madonna to belt out a full rendition of their duet "4 Minutes." Dressed in black pants, a black jacket and scarf he and Madonna really went at it, playing off two dancers, dancing and grinding on each other. The crowd loved it.

"It was great!" a fan told PEOPLE at the show. "They really kept each other going up there. And, wow, only Madonna could bring the two exes together!"

Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears to Appear on Stage Together

In an unprecedented concert event, music superstars Madonna, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears will appear on stage together in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium Thursday night.

Ryan Seacrest broke the news on 102.7 KIIS-FM Wednesday as much excitement for Madonna's Sticky and Sweet concert tour grows in Southern California.

"If Justin and Britney end up on that stage with her...I don't know if I've ever seen anything quite like that before," said Ryan as he spoke to afternoon DJ Boy Toy Jesse.

This marks the first time Britney Spears has been seen with former beau Justin Timberlake in years. It will also be the first time Britney has appeared on stage with Madonna since their controversial kiss in the opening act of the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

I'm so excited! Those who will go to the concert better get lotsa videos. :D

Another News Another Drama!

It was a nice, quiet few weeks there with no tabloids reporting on Britney. Unfortunately, it's back to business this week.

Life & Style features Britney as their cover story this week, detailing Britney's Halloween adventures, and the struggles she faces:

quote:

---

It had been ages since Britney Spears could let loose and have a little fun. But on the night of Oct. 31, a shy, smiling Britney - dressed first as an angel in a silver wig and dress, then changing into a witch's costume - was spotted at not one but two Halloween house parties: one thrown by actress Drew Barrymore and the other by businessman Phil Maloof, a friend of Britney's.

But the evening was hardly as carefree as it may have seemed. In addition to a group of gal pals keeping an eye on the singer, Brit, 26, had a designated chaperone at both bashes. Her agent, Jason Trawick, escorted her to Drew's party, and Britney's father, clad in a ghoulish mask, stuck by her side at Phil's mansion bash. The reason for their presence, reveals a Spears family insider, was simple: Brit's dad is still worried that his daughter is not ready to cope on her own.

"He's not trying to embarrass her," the insider tells Life & Style. "But he doesn't think she can handle being out and about by herself yet. So unless she goes out with Jamie or someone Jamie trusts, like Jason, Britney isn't allowed to go." His motivations, the insider adds, are personal and professional. "He doesn't want to see his daughter get hurt - and he really doesn't want anything to stand in the way of her comeback."


Similarly, the ever-so-reliable National Enquirer is claiming Britney is hearing voices. What's the big deal? Don't most people hear voices? WHO SAID THAT!

Britney Halloween Trick or Treat

Look at these EXCLUSIVE pics Britney sent us of her and the boys from Halloween night.

Brit, her friends Courtney and Laura Lynn, her assistant Brett and dad Jamie took the boys out trick or treating before heading home to get ready for Drew Barrymore's party.

Looks like they all had a great time! Jayden is just too adorable -- how cute is it that he shares goodies with his mom?
