Britney called in for career crisis talks

Britney Spears will meet up with her record label next week for crisis talks about the future of her career.

Jive Records plan to tell Spears to stop partying and take more care of her public image if she wants to avoid being dropped by the company. The news comes shortly after Britney posted a message on her website promising a new album and tour.

A source told the News of the World: "They're concerned for Britney because she's one of their priority artists. She's lost her edge and they worry she won't finish the album. The partying hasn't helped her image one bit. Her unofficial website has shut down because fans are leaving her in droves."

The insider added: "She had been in the studio, but was having real problems. It seemed like all that partying has caught up with her."
