The Toxic hitmaker’s father Jamie was handed control of her personal and financial affairs following her much-publicised breakdown in 2008.

Spears has since got her life on track – she’s released her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale, and toured the world to promote the release.

Her longtime boyfriend and former agent Jason Trawick marked the end of her 2011 trek by proposing last month – and as the pair plans its wedding, Spears is set to regain control of her own affairs.

A source tells Britain’s Sunday Express, “Jamie wants to go to court in early February so Britney will be a free woman in every sense when she marries.”

Spears has been married twice before – to Jason Alexander and Kevin Federline. Her marriage to Alexander lasted just 55 hours and she divorced Federline, the father of her two sons, in 2007.

Pop star Britney Spears and fiancé Jason Trawick celebrated their engagement in Las Vegas Friday night with a blow-out 40th birthday bash for Trawick at Chateau Nightclub & Garden.

The happy couple stayed at the club until 3AM Saturday morning before been whisked outside by a fleet of more than 20 security guards. Onlookers said, “Britney left the club for 30 minutes before deciding to come back and party until 4:30 in the morning.”

Spears and Trawick then headed to Sugar Factory American Brassiere where they ate pancakes and sundaes until 6 in the morning. A spy said, “Britney couldn’t take the smile off her face and was taking camera phone pictures of her ring.”

Britney Spears is ready to walk down the aisle for the third time. The 30-year-old pop star has agreed to marry her longtime boyfriend and former agent Jason Trawick.

Trawick announced Friday on “Access Hollywood” that he and Spears are engaged. The two have been dating since 2009.

Spears hinted at the big news with a tweet Friday morning that read, “OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I’ve been waiting for. Can’t wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!!”

Spears was previously married to Kevin Federline, with whom she has two sons: 6-year-old Sean Preston and 5-year-old Jayden James. The couple divorced in 2006. Spears also briefly wed childhood friend Jason Alexander in 2004, but the marriage was annulled after 55 hours.

Pop superstar Britney Spears is to perform a free Christmas concert in Mexico this weekend, according to a local report.

The Toxic hitmaker, who is currently touring the world with her Femme Fatale shows, is scheduled to perform three concerts in the country in December, and she will reportedly add an extra free gig in Mexico City on Sunday.

Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard has revealed the singer will perform at the Monument to the Revolution landmark and the show will mark the start of the city’s festive celebrations, according to the Afp.

Britney Spears is supposedly dating her agent, Jason Trawick — so what is she doing spending so much alone time with record producer Dallas Austin? A source tells us Spears and Austin spent some time together “two weeks ago at Dallas’ house” in Atlanta, where, “It was just the two of them for a few nights.” Another source told us that while they were there, the power duo “discussed music, life, and work.” A rep for Austin denies the two are dating: “They are good friends and have been for a long time.”

Britney Spears proved she was alive and kicking by taking her family out on a boat trip.

The singer, who was the victim of a malicious hacker earlier in the week, headed out for a jaunt along the California coast yesterday with Jayden James and Sean Preston.

The trip provided happy evidence that she is fine and well after her Twitter micro-blogging page carried the astonishingly heartless message that she had died.

The posting, left by a hacker, read: ‘Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come.’

However, soon after the message was deleted when an official member of Britney’s crew insisted she was alive and well.

A post read: ‘Britney’s Twitter was just hacked. The last message is obviously not true. She is fine and dandy spending a quiet day at home relaxing.’

After completing the UK leg of her Circus tour last month, Britney is currently enjoying a two week break before she continues the European leg of her The Circus… Starring Britney Spears tour in Paris on Saturday.

And on Tuesday, the newly-brunette pop star brought Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, on a yachting trip off the coast of Los Angeles.

Setting off from the port of Marina Dey Rey, Britney looked relaxed in a stripy blue and white t-shirt and denim shorts as she hung out with her sons, a blonde friend and a bodyguard.

Sean and Jayden looked equally cool as they shielded their little eyes from the sun in matching green sunglasses and light blue shirts.

Sitting on a 30 foot Flybridge yacht, Britney pointed out sea life and birds to her inquisitive sons.

On the way back to her Hollywood home, Britney stopped by Fred Segal department store on Melrose Avenue and treated her boys to some inflatable guitars.

Britney is clearly loving being with her sons after being forced to spend lengthy times apart during a rocky 2008 when her ex-husband Kevin Federline was given custody of the boys.

However, under a recently agreed custody deal, Britney will now care for her sons for over 50 per cent of the time during the summer.

While Britney is on stage for her Circus tour, which returns to North America after the European leg wraps on July 26, Kevin will accompany her to care for the children.

Britney’s ever-changing hair has long been used as a barometer of her internal mood.

At the top of her game, it was long, blonde and glossy – at her lowest it was shorn to reveal her bald scalp.

So, as she stepped out with new love, and rumoured fiancé, Jason Trawick, her newly brunette hairdo was bound to raise eyebrows.

Her hair was long and dark – a change from a day earlier when it was shoulder-length, wavy and blonde.

She and Trawick laughed as they walked into a Bed Bath And Beyond store in Los Angeles.

Britney wore a huge sparkling diamond on her ring finger, sparking rumours the two are now engaged.

If so, they could have been feathering their nest – the bodyguard struggled out half way through their shopping spree with a cart full of bags, including a broom, to take to their 4×4.

During her relationship with her now ex-husband Kevin Federline, Britney also experimented with brown hair.

Yesterday, the dressed-down 27-year-old teamed her new ‘do with a bright orange vest and denim hotpants, while Trawick, 37, was equally casual.

The couple’s relationship was only confirmed earlier this month, but they are believed to have been dating for several months.

They made their first public appearance together at the end of May at a party for fashion designer Christian Audiger.

They were also spotted looking close on a Caribbean holiday last month, along with Britney’s father Jamie, brother Bryan and sons Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two.

At first glance there was nothing remarkable about the tired-looking young mother pushing her sons through Hyde Park.

The buggies were low-budget, the children dressed in shorts and t-shirts and their mother dressed down in jeans and a long-sleeved top.

But on closer inspection the blonde hiding beneath her baseball cap was none other than pop star Britney Spears – taking a break from entertaining thousands on her busy Circus tour.

The 27-year-old was with her manager Jason Trawick – recently revealed to be her new boyfriend.

While Britney is in London she is staying at the opulent Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which backs onto Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.

Her sons are staying elsewhere, while her ex-husband Kevin Federline is also in London.

He agreed to come along on the tour so that Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, were not separated from their mother for two long.

Britney was even said to be paying him $4,000 a week to travel with her so she could be near them.

This week lawyers for Britney and Federline reportedly filed documents with the U.S. family law Commissioner Scott Gordon, stating they have reached a new temporary custody arrangement.

U.S. gossip website TMZ reported that the family had agreed new custody arrangements for the tour.

Britney will have custody of her sons more than the 50per cent of the time for the rest of June, July and August.

The tour is a family affair for Britney – who is also accompanied by her sister Jamie-Lynn and father Jamie, who is managing her affairs.

Britney is coming to the end of her eight nights performing in London, and next will head to Manchester for one night and Dublin for two on the British leg of her Circus tour.

She will then head to France to continue her high-energy tour in Europe.

Love is in the air for Britney Spears!

After a string of failed relationships with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib and a devastating divorce from Kevin Federline, Britney Spears has finally found a new man.

Spears, 27, is reportedly dating her agent, Jason Trawick, People.com reports.

“They are totally and definitely dating,” the source says. “Her dad loves him. He’s the best thing that happened to her.”
The report ends months of speculation revolving around the couple’s questionably close relationship.

The singer is said to have “always had a crush” on Trawick, who happens to be one of her brother Bryan’s best friends.

The couple recently took a vacation in the Bahamas with her sons, Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2, in May.

“They’re very sweet together,” the source says. “He makes Britney really happy, and he’s great with the boys.”

Spears’s rep had no comment.
