Things for Britney are just continuing to get worse. She was so exhausted she either collapsed or fell asleep at her own NYE party which prompted rumors of a possible stint in rehab. Here we see more from that night where she drops the F-bomb to her crowd. Now we hear bad news on her comeback album. Apparently it's been put on hold. Rumor is - it stinks! Here's more:
While in New York she was in the studio recording for Jive Records. She worked some nights until 4 a.m. laying down tracks for a new CD. She thinks it's the makings of a really great album. They don't.Talk inside the company is that either it's redone, or they need to drop it - and her. When this recording session began, she'd just dumped Federline the Insect. It was not a good time in her life. To recharge her career, she reconnected with her long-ago first-time manager, the one who originally brought her to the heights, Larry Rudolph.
But constant headlined misbehavior is stoking the problem. Jive fears she's alienating her fan base. Their fan base. Jive caters to a young music-buyer, and the continued atmosphere - drinking, bingeing, partying, whatevering, photos with no panties for a mother of two infants - is hitting sour notes. Besides, Jive is not in sync with the five tracks Brit delivered. Conversation in their offices is: If we bear the expense of a redo, is it possible that, down the road, because of the way she's going, we could end up with a really bad product? Or one that won't sell?
The recording has stopped midway. Nothing more's been done because the company doesn't yet know what it wants to do. But that recent front page ain't helping.
When asked for comment Larry Rudolph said, "I don't know where your information came from, but I can only tell you we're in the middle of recording an album. And you can quote me on that." That's not exactly denying any of the bad rumors, but let's hope she gets rest and back to work to create something exciting.

"Happy F*cking New Year" Britney you are so rock and roll
1aw, Brit! Keep your chin up! Wear a good bra! and don't forget that time we bumped into each other on the NBC lot!!!
2again Melissa is there anyone you have not met?
3i met jerry lee lewis once, father of the (JK) boogie-woogie!!!
4Britney Spears is Britney Spears. She'll come back. And she will rock. I've got faith in her!
5What can I say?? I am happy for you. You should go to celebrity sightings http://teamsugar.com/group/72541 and and blog all those many many many many famous people you know...I am sure we will all be very impressed.
6cool! thanks for clueing me in! David Duchovny was the one who clued me into the fact that "chips ahoy" (the cookies) were actually a pun on the common phrase "ship's ahoy!" i knew they had a nautical theme, but i was amazed i hadn't realized it sooner! Thanks Dave and JK Boogie!!
7this is so not true.
8this is so Britney year.
she is back!
MBM
I'm not all that surprised abt Brit's album woes...I mean she has been a little out of the loop w/her fans for a few years now. I think she thought it'd be easy to just come back when she was ready. Just like she thought she could snap her fingers & have a great marriage. Snap her fingers & have babies. Not so easy to snap your fingers & be a good mother & present parent.
I hope she figures herself out first...then she can hope for a comeback.
9"verbal irony" is when an author says one thing and means something else.
10Not everyone who was big makes a successful comeback. She may never be on top again. And she has nobody to blame 'cept herself, for throwing it all away.
But this will really annoy Kfed, since it could mean less money.
11Ginger...agreed she's had it...even with Pharell or the Scott bloke nobody cares anymore.
12Comeon Brit! you`ll make a comeback soon! i have faith in you.
13go Britney!!!!
14can anyone say "thank you Captain Obvious?" She killed her "comeback faster than Chestica's "career" died...
15Why would it take 5 tracks and a month to realize the songs suck??? Wouldn't someone figure it out while recording???? Jive should give her time for her R&R and then see if they are willing to continue with the album.
16I just watched a report on CNN.com about how she could make this huge comeback if she puts out a half-decent album. Looks like that theory is down the toilet.
But as much as I hate to admit it, it happened for Mariah Carey and Whitney Huston. So God knows. She did well dumping K-Sperm, but now she's partying with Paris and passing out cold. I don't know which is worse!
This dame is a train wreck.
17Oh dear.
Things are just going from bad to worse for our poor Britney.
18I'm rooting for her to get better & make a huge comback - she can doit!! She's one of the best performers out there.
19WHAT A SHOCKER! Go away, Brit!
20Ha ha ha.
21hahah you know what is funny. pop sugar forgot to add that jive let out a statement that she is not in rehab and is not being dropped from a label and there will be an albulm in 2007 A rep for Jive released the following statement to Access Hollywood:
"No rehab, and Cindy Adams' piece is inaccurate. No clue where she go her 'information.' Britney is in the middle of recording. We will have an album in 2007."

We were there when Spears made her champagne toast. And while I did witness the pouring of an estimated $1 million bottle of Dom Perignon, the biggest magnum I've ever seen, Britney was not so drunk as has been reported the last few days.
I did not see Britney being helped out by five bodyguards. Please, the woman is five-foot-nothing, and I can assure you, one of those giant bodyguards would have been sufficient if she needed help.
Not to mention, if Spears collapsed and had to be carried out, there's a perfectly fine back door that would have made her exit virtually unnoticed, and believe me, the bodyguards and the public relations folks there are well aware of it.
It almost makes me sad for Spears. Almost. It's not like she hasn't brought all of this negative publicity and "let's talk about Britney at any cost" firestorm among the media on herself.

22I think it's cool she dropped the f bomb...but the sleepy thing? Spare us!
23I went to rock and roll heaven, and I wasn't on the guest list.

Every Britney album ever produced has been a stinker, so I see no problem with this one being a huge success.
24why is it that all those late late nights shes been out since dumping k-dog she never fell asleep or passed out in the resturants or clubs? now....
she gets her first paying gig and shes 'SUDDENLY' tired out
25im not buying the she was just tired story.
Rocky I love how you are always defending Britney, I love it!! I feel like "us" Brit supporters are a elite group of people left who are willing to sometimes stick are neck out to defend our girl..hehehe
26I hope Brit proves us right sooner then later (with the comeback) Oh and everything that Cindy Adams usually reports is crap all of this came from her and her alone. I read about it 2 days ago and laughed when I saw it. Shes like a hundred and has no clue....
27I read on D-Listed that Britney was the new Tara Reid. Amen. She's a
28I love britney! Bot can someone PLEASE tell me why she always has such BAD hair extensions?!
29Too many people in LA have personally seen her fall-on-her-face drunk. She can't do things like that in public hand have people in the community know about it. When she goes out 4 or 5 nights a week and gets that drunk, people see it. Lots of people. Even if the New Years story wasn't true, she has done so much that people DO know about, and that makes this story either true or just typical. Her fault.
Oh, and she DID party from ages 18-22. The "second childhood" theroy is weak, too.
30I think that I passed out on NYE and had to have ppl carry me out... who knew that my drunkn ass had something in common with Brit Brit! =))
31Oh lord Britney
32I guess we'll see what happens.
33Getting drunk and passing out on New Years is pretty different from getting completely drunk 5 nights a week...in public...for two months.
34I know she will come back.... i think there is no problem... becuase all of the news will make people want to buy her cd, thats why all the stars make huge news, so they will get people who will buy there stuff...
35That didn't seem to help Michael Jackson.
All her antics don't make me want to spend a penny on her products.
36If Britney DOES make a comeback, it'll be thanks to her PR people, record producers, stylists, music video directors etc etc. There's NO WAY she could do it on her own, she is far to immature, naive & clueless for that!
37She is in trouble. I believe the Jive story. If she already started recording - they have already given her an advance and put money into producing this album. They need to make a decision now. The Company usually doesn't hear it until the artist records some songs. They will probably put it out because she will sell, just not like she EVER did before - but they might move her from the Jive main label to a smaller label. That's what happened to Jessica Simpson and her album just bombed so I guess they were smart in figuring she might not sell. These are real issues. It costs MONEY to produce tracks. Pharrell and Timbaland go for about $300K PER SONG. If they have to re-do the first 5 songs ALREADY??? That's ALOT of money especially considering she is not going to sell like she used to. Last studio album did about 700K first week. If that gets cut in half or WORSE the first week and then doesn't sell as good as even the last one they might not want to put that much money into it. They have probably already given her a hefty advance not knowing she would have this mess of a public life occur and then she probably gets $3 or $4 per record sold since she is a big star. They might not recoup their losses. This makes sense people. I wouldn't blow this story off. She has been gone for 3 years - I doubt that album will sell 700K the first week period - if it's NOT GREAT it's not going to sell 500K. So I believe it. Just something to think about. This is how it works. Christina just sold 320ishK the first week and it was a GREAT album so I don't know.
38And for the record I think she is delusional and thinks that since Justin came back all great that she can. I think her fans have moved on and grown up and appreciate real singers. Britney lip synched damn near all the time. She can sing but not half as good as Christina or Mariah or even Leona - the new IDOL. I mean even Kelly Clarkson and American Idols can sing better. Really - lets just be honest here. She can dance - I'll give her that. She is just tabloid fodder and I don't think she realizes it. She will though. When those Nielsen Soundscan ratings come out.
I do think, if she had stayed home with her kids - and just went to the recording studio and got in shape and just did interviews about her new album ( AND KEPT THAT STYLE SHE HAD THE FIRST 4 DAYS AFTER DUMPING KEVING ) that she probably would have been able to come back - IF she had a decent album. But I just don't think she even has a chance now. It will sell but not that great. I say 200K first week. Which for her is a failure.
39Many good points PG!
She had a young fan base at her peak, which can be pretty fickle about buying records a few years later. Just ask Tiffany! The hard partying twice-divorced single mom image is not going to attract a new young audience. Are there any pop divas in her age range with kids who sell well?
It would be a sad mistake if she's thinking she can do what Justin did. He had no scandals, spouses, and wasn't "away" from the industry as long.
40Oh Britney, how far you have fallen from the day you announced you were leaving Fed-Ex
41im not holding my breath for anything spectacular, peoples expectations are so high that if her album isnt a number 1 or a top 10 shes gonna go down so fast she wont know what hit her.
42I think the career suicide is complete. Now she can go away ... please.
43Oh yes, she'll make a comeback, but I dont know what Britney's fans are expecting, another "hit" like "Ooops I did it again", she is not a teenager anymore, actually she is a twice divorced alcoholic single mom.... how do you sell that product? So lets be honest here, Jive Records will not put millions of $$$$ on that kind of "product" just to see them go down the toilet.
44Its a wrap everyone...Britney has fell off, next stop rehab and a VH1 "Behind The Music" special.
45what is it about her that really makes me want her to do well? i should hate her but i cant!!
46Actually the next thing its going to happen on Britney's career its her life story on E True Hollywood story.... lol
47Please, she'll make a comeback. Yes, she's a hot mess right now but I'm hoping Larry Rudolph and her damn parents can help her out. She already had to come crawling back to Larry so I'm sure she knows she made a mess of herself over the past couple years. But as long as she puts out some good music, people will buy it. I don't believe that story at all about Jive.
48aww, come on brit, you can do better than that!
49I mean really, don't make it so obvious that you had a crappy 2006.
