Brit Back on the Box

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned Britney Spears took a meeting yesterday with a big-time producer and may be headed to the small screen in a starring role.

Sources say Britney and her team met with Roy Bank, President of Merv Griffin Entertainment, and discussed several TV projects in which Brit would star and possibly produce. We're told one of the projects is a music show.

Makes sense to pair Brit up with Bank -- they're both repped by the William Morris Agency, which packages tons of TV shows. It was, we're told, a "serious" meeting.

The ball is now in her court, but she's definitely interested in the whole TV thing.

61. She's terrible. She's a pox on society. I don't hate her. I loath her.

62. Okay, let me see if I've got this straight .... Today the court heard testimony in her conservatorship case -- from her advocate -- that Britney's health is so fragile that she is not fit to participate in her case and appear in court (notwithstanding that she did appear in court in her custody case) see:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24882296/

but NO PROBLEM with her handling the stress of being a TV star and producer. In other words, going to court for a day would likely cause another meltdown (remove the locks from the bathroom door, Daddy!), but, say, working five days a week would be good for her.

Yeah, right.

Underdawg, I will have to agree with you. My thoughts are, that there is a lot things that her family and court are aware of, but the public has zero knowledge about.

I think her mental illness consist of more than just a bipolar disorder, (if she is even bipolar!), I read somewhere that her mini vacation in Costa Rica came about because she was so distraught about the rumors that she might be pregnant.

She still seems to be completely off-balanced to me. I find it hard to believe that she will be capable of working on a regular basis. To me, her biggest problem seems to be her total lack of reasoned judgment.

I hold no ill will against her, but I wish she would, or her family would, tell us what is wrong with her.

64. Good for her - I would think a show would be good for her and her kids, something regular and local. She certainly does not need to be touring now or anytime soon. The regular routine will be good for her and easier to for her doctors to watch for stress becoming a problem. Good luck, Brit.

65. Sounds promising! I really hope it works out for Brit, she's diong so well right now and I hope her good health continues!

66. Britney can't act. Seriously, she can't. She was excrusiating on How I Met Your Mother.

Anyway, I don't think she's Bipolar. It's sounding more like she's schizophrenic. Of course we don't know. But it sounds more than Bipolar according to what the courts are saying. This would make sense with her reportedly talking to herself, talking to trash cans, speaking in a language that only she can understand, and that British accent. She's really sick. This is why the court is probably really reluctant to give her any parental rights back. Bipolar disorder is usually treated and under control pretty fast, especially if you're manic, they'll give you anti-psychotic meds. For schizophrenics, it's much harder. It sounds like she's in that spectrum.

I think she needs to take a few more years off. She's really not ready. It's going to be the VMA Awards all over again. Sorry to say this, but she does look pregnant. That stomach does not look like a typical fat bulge. Who knows though. It wouldn't be surprising if she was, but it would be really sad.

67. What;s wrong with these people? She can't evn handle her own legal things and the doctor's can't agree with what her problems are and yet they think she can handle a big production at the Palms not to mention touring and acting etc. She's a good mom leaving her kids - way to go !! !!!!! What's wrong with George Maloof - thought he was a smart business man - talk about hurt your business reputation not to mention wasting his time on children and not real women his own age - someone needs to tell him Spears has parents already!

This has to be the saddest story around. I don't believe that Sean or Jayden will ever have the mother who gave birth to them, in their lives as "mommy".

Just about everywhere on the internet, it shows that Britney is pretty much insane, She has no basic skills on how to even dress. She wears her hair extensions in a topknot, on the top of her head - which is very unflattering to her face shape. She wears clothes that are too small for her and would look right on her "if" they were the right size.

I think that Britney should be tucked away in a mental institution somewhere, until her doctors can work-out some kind of plan and medication for her. There is no way she should be in the general population.

When Britney can go to court, and speak for herself, like any other person - then I will believe that she can once again regain herself to society.

69. To Katrina's Grandmom: it says a lot about your values that your main criteria for deciding whether or not a person is "insane" seem to be limited to the way that they fix their hair and wear their clothes .

Do you live in Los Angeles, by any chance? If not, you should move there. You'd fit right in.

71. Just because a person has some medical issues does NOT MEAN THEY CANNOT WORK
and whoever things the way a person DRESSES??????????????????????????????????
IS INSANE????????????? LOOK AROUND YOU
Most of America must be TOTALLY NUTS

72. Wow! Isn't well known that people who don't bath regularly, and have no idea how they look, are most likely mentally ill? Look at the people who live on the streets. I think that Britney looks like a lot of them.

Britney has zero sense of taste. She only looks decent when someone else dresses her. Her "staring" in a sitcom or a musical type show, is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

I highly doubt that she is bipolar, - or manic depressive, as it used to be called. This girl lives on her own planet. She will be trusted to be alone with her boys when they can protect themselves.

I expect the "conservatorship" to be indefinably extended, for a long, long, time.
