Britney to Rudolph - Hit Me Baby One Mo' Time

Posted Apr 1st 2008 2:40PM by TMZ Staff

Britney Spears wants to go back to the days of the golden oldies.

Sources tells us Brit has buried the hatchet and wants to re-hire former manager, Larry Rudolph, the guy who was the mastermind behind her blazing career. Brit wanted to tar and feather Rudolph before she 86'd him last year, blaming him in part for what she felt was a bogus stint at the Promises rehab joint.

We're told nothing has been finalized, but Brit now wants him back. She can't hire and fire herself, but we're told the conservators probably will do what Brit wants, partly because they realize the conservatorship won't last forever and when it's over they don't want Brit to undo all the decisions.

Actually, it's a good idea. Sounds like Brit gets it -- kinda, sorta.

7. Probably would be a good deal, but why do I have the feeling that your "sources" probably don't know sheet? One of your kids probably just asked someone on the street if they thought it would be a good idea.

9. I miss the old britney but she should get out of the limelight for a little while and clear her mind. Then when she has herself together she can think about becoming successful again.

How many millions has her albums sold? That's a b******* statement. She doesn't have the best range of any singer out there, but some of her songs are quite good. She wouldn't have sold millions of copies of her albums if nobody liked her singing.

Now f*** off hater.

11. This is a major sign that Britney is getting well. She is letting the people who had her best interest at heart all along, back into her life.

12. How can brit make a comeback when SHE HAS NO TALENT? Her music career is over. She is no longer a little girl getting on stage in outfits that hookers wear singing songs that insinuate sex. She IS a grown women who has shown her true colors. She IS a spoiled, self-absorbed, horrible, disgusting person.

13. Larry Rudolph had on his myspace page as of yesterday that Brit is under one of his "latest projects" - does not indicate anything per se - but this was already reported by another site - but i'm sure TMZ had it's "soureces" lol anyway, she was right about rehab though, it apparently was not what was ailing her, but hopefully they can move past it and move on. i wish her luck and good health.

14. Dear God:

Please make Britney do that horrible bubble pop she did so well. It's so out of fashion now she will bomb again.

Thank you

Ta!

15. Just hiring a manager doesn't mean she'll be touring next week ... It is great news that she is surrounding herself with the right people again (even if her dad is pushing it). Come on FIBiker, Opinion, Mr. Hat, can't wait for the negative comments to start flying. Britney will be back!!!
