Britney Spears spent the weekend with her mother Lynne in California. The troubled 26-year-old singer - who is reportedly set to regain joint custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James in a new arrangement with ex-husband Kevin Federline - enjoyed a shopping trip with her mother before going out to dinner at the nearby Bond St. restaurant.

A source at the eatery said: "They had a girls' dinner of salad, sushi rolls, and fish with two of Britney's friends. Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff.

"She looked gorgeous, and I have never seen her in a better mood. She was laughing the whole time she was here. Britney seemed to have the best time hanging out with her mom and friends."

Lynn arrived in California on Wednesday (09.07.08), after spending time with Britney's sister Jamie Lynn, who recently gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann, her first child with fiance Casey Aldridge.

Meanwhile, Britney is reportedly "excited" about getting her career back on track, and has filmed a video segment for Madonna's upcoming 'Sticky and Sweet' tour.

A source said: "Britney is excited, but in a grown-up way. She has come a long way in the last year. Working with Madonna is a dream, but I think Britney feels like it's one she has earned."

Britney and Madonna reportedly appear together in the video wearing bandages which they will remove to reveal tiny bondage pants and knee-high boots.
