Britney Spears' pal Sam Lutfi has agreed to stay away from the singer through July 31, the court revealed Wednesday.

The restraining order had been issued in February by the "Toxic" singer's mother Lynne claiming Lutfi had drugged her daughter and took over the control of her life.

Britney Spears is back in the studio. Her former manager Larry Rudolph confirms that the pop star went to the recording studio but not to record an album.

Rudolph says of their Monday and Tuesday visits, "We went into the studio, but it was just for fun - nothing more."

Britney Spears is set to release her "explosive" video diaries.

The 'Toxic' star - who lost custody of her two children before being admitted to a psychiatric ward earlier this year - has been filming herself for the past six months and plans to show the world what she has been through by making the tapes public.

Britney Spears crashed her car on Saturday night while allegedly putting make-up on.

The 'Toxic' star is claimed to have been preening herself while behind the wheel of her white Mercedes when she ran into the back of a Nissan car at 8.18pm on a Los Angeles freeway.

Britney's paparazzo ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has been stabbed. An online gossip website claims that the pop star's infamous old flame has been forced to seek medical treatment after being attacked.

Paparrazi agency JFX Online reports that Ghalib had "received a stab wound to his arm, facial lacerations as well as a nice shiner" after he was assaulted by an unnamed person Saturday.

The man who made Britney Spears a household name believes she is in for the biggest comeback in history.

After recently reuniting with his client, Larry Rudolph says the recovering pop star is in "really great shape" for a comeback.
