Britney's Back To Normal

Having seemingly overcome her crippling anxiety, business returned to normal for Britney Spears last night.

We caught the Kentwood Cutie out gassing up her car late last night with her new assistant in tow before calling it a night at Raffles L'Ermitage.

The pop princess certainly seemed to have overcome her nerves - not only was she the picture of pleasantness to the photogs, but we even caught her bopping around to music in her car!

"And a lighter, please!"

"Hey y'all!"

Thank goodness we've got the old Britney back - we were starting to get worried for a second!

Britney Goes Back To Black

Maybe Britney's not having more fun as a blonde - yesterday the pop princess decided to go back to black with a DIY dye job (check out her black fingers), but later covered it up with a pink wig!

What do you think of brunette Britney? And has she dyed her hair black to match her mood?

I kinda like this edgier look - it suits her!

Britney Lashes Out At Paps!

Normally, Britney Spears is the picture of media-friendliness - but last night proved to be one of the exceptions! When we ran into the Queen B as she left the Four Seasons last night, she balked at the sight of the army of paps and screamed "Don't come near me!" before climbing into her car.

Has Britney turned over a new leaf? Only time will tell - although the picture of Jesus we spotted in her hands might be a pretty good indicator!

Sorry, Britney!

Are Britney And Sam Fighting?

I know, I know, Britney goes to the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills all the time, so what's the big deal? Well, she doesn't usually spend the night there with both dogs in tow and a pile of luggage.

We caught Britney unloading at her hotel of choice last night around 6 pm ...

Is Britney moving out of her house temporarily, after Sam just recently seemed to move in?

OR ...

Is Brit Brit on a layover on her way out of town for her birthday tomorrow? We'll keep you updated ...

Happy Birthday, Brit!

Okay, so her birthday's tomorrow, but we're getting a head start on the celebration here at X17! I thought we'd start by bringing you back to Brit's birthday celebration last year at Mr. Chow.

Britney was surrounded by friends (and admiring paparazzi below) as she did a little dance in front of the upstairs window of the restaurant.

It wasn't long after this night, that this happened ...

What a difference a year makes!

Britney's Video Director Takes The Bull By The Horns

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

We ran into Wayne Isham, the director for Britney's latest single "Piece of Me", as he ran out to catch up with someone before they left the set. The famed director seemed downright gung-ho about the task which lay ahead of him, throwing devil horns left and right. Given the way the shoot took until 6:30 AM this morning to complete, we're guessing he needed every ounce of that energy!

Of course, as excited as Wayne was to be working with Britney, we were even more excited to see the pop princess arrive - check out the video and watch the buzz go through the crowd when her car rolls up!

Wayne's worked with Britney before, most famously as the director of her video for "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" - but after having watched everything that went down at Social last night, we're sure this one takes the cake for sheer craziness!

Queen B Is In The House!!!

Britney has arrived, y'all! The Queen B is now on the set of her new music video in Hollywood! X17 captured the footage of Brit arriving to the set of her new video for "Piece of Me" at the nightclub Social Hollywood just a little more than an hour ago ... check it out!

Stay tuned to X17 for more details!

Brit's Home Away From Home!

We spotted our girl Brit returning to the Four Seasons hotel last night - where she also spent Thanksgiving the night before with her two boys.

Meanwhile, in Michael Marchand news, an X17 source tells us that the Mirabelle's manager is moving back to Boston this week... but this isn't a loss of love for Brit - our source says there was no romance there to begin with!

As long as you have your kids, that's enough love right there!

It's Britney's Boys!

No, not her kids - her men! Our girl Brit certainly hasn't always had the best luck with relationships (We're lookin' at you, K-Fed!), but perhaps that's turning around with her Mirabelle's dining companion Michael Marchand? How does he compare (hottness-wise) with Britney's other flames like JR Rotem, ex-hubby Kevin Federline... and don't forget Isaac Cohen, Brit's b/f in early '07!

An X17 inside source tells us that Michael is not one of Britney's guys and that "she's just not dating anyone in general. She's got a lot of things in the air at the moment and isn't ready." Another source adds, however, that while "nothing has happened" between Brit and Michael yet, he is "on her Radar." Aww!

Does Michael seem like a possible contender for Brit's heart to you?

Whether she's single or dating, Brit seems happy either way - and that's how it should be!

Queen B's New Man

A New man? Sources for Life & Style magazine are saying Brit has quitley been dating this mystery guy for the past few weeks.

According to the never trust-worthy Life & Style via X17, Britney"instantly fell for Michael Marchand", an actor employed by the restaurant as a waiter. Since then, the mag reports that "they're always texting each other" - and that they've had at least one date at Britney's mansion.

The two were spotted over at Mirabelle. Everyone always assumes Britney is dating a guy she is just chillin out with. Sam was there last night, too! I hope Brit knows what she is doing with this one!

His status seems a bit to similar to K-feds at the beginning! A wannabe!

Britney's New Man!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

We'd spent all morning wondering what could have prompted Britney Spears to run another red light to get to Mirabelle last night - well, Life & Style may have the answer! According to the magazine, earlier this month Britney stopped by the restaurant for lunch and "instantly fell for Michael Marchand", an actor employed by the restaurant as a waiter. Since then, the mag reports that "they're always texting each other" - and that they've had at least one date at Britney's mansion!

Although L&S doesn't pin down the date of their first meeting, X17 was there when the Queen B stopped by Mirabelle after some chandelier shopping on November 6th. Might that have been the night they met?

Now that's good service!

X17 XCLUSIVE: Britney Rides Again!

The courts may have requested that Britney Spears not drive around with her kids anymore - but Brit seems to have found a compromise!! We spotted the Queen B puttering around with Sean Preston and Jayden in this adorable toy dumptruck over the weekend. Call us crazy, but we almost think that car's cuter than her other new ride!

Brit Brit Hides From Paps!

The following italicized article is from www.x17video.com:

November 16, 2007: Upon entering a gas station in Beverly Hills, our girl Britney Spears was so inundated with media frenzy that she decided to cover her head with a scarf. A pap ended having to pay for her gas because Sam couldn't get out of the car.

Courthouse Update

We've just heard back from our reporter covering Kevin Federline's attorney's latest emergency hearing - and it sounds like stuff's just starting to heat up!

Details are sketchy at the moment, but it's believed that the main talking point for the day so far has been Britney's driving - our reporter hasn't heard so much as a rumor that Britney's disputed drug tests have come up yet.

Still, the relative lack of activity doesn't mean that everything's quiet around the courthouse; apparently, reporters have already been warned twice about the noise - once by a court official, and once by a man in uniform!

Most importantly, though, K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan (shown above as he arrived) expects to make a statement to the media around 10:30 - stay tuned to us to hear what he's got to say!

We'll keep you updated on this story as it continues to break...

Brit Back To The Four Seasons With The Boys

Thursday November 15th: Brit Brit returns to the Four Seasons with the boys and her court appointed monitor. After yesterday’s incident where an overzealous photog’s foot was run over, security was tight at the Four Season and Brit understandably was avoiding the paps.

Girls On Video

Britney's latest video might not be out for a while, but that doesn't mean she won't be in anyone else's videos - well, sorta! People points out that the clip for "Falling Down", the latest offering from pioneering popsters Duran Duran, "features a girl checking into rehab who looks remarkably like Britney Spears" - and ends with the girl leaving rehab and "immediately grabbing a glass of champagne"! The band, as you might imagine, is quick to deny any direct links between the image in their video and the real-life Britney; "I suppose it's loosely based on her, but not [only] on one celebrity - just celebrity culture in general," drummer Roger Taylor told the mag. It's possible - but then again, considering that "Falling Down" was both produced and co-written by Britney's ex Justin Timberlake, it's an awfully interesting coincidence!

One thing's for certain - "Falling Down" is one hell of a song!

X17 XCLUSIVE: Britney's Music Video Delayed Following Accident - No, Not Hers

Bad news, Brit fans - the pop princess had to delay production on her latest video after the producer suffered an accident! "The video producer...is not able to film on Friday," an X17 source tells us; "[they're] paying to compensate for lost time.

" Sounds like everything's under control - besides, our source says production's already been rescheduled to next week.

Still, that sucks - after all, we're sure Brit wanted to strike while Blackout's still on the tips of everyone's lips!

We're not too worried - even with this latest delay, Brit's still sittin' pretty!
