Spears fires manager once again

Britney Spears has reportedly fired her manager Larry Rudolph following her recent bad publicity.

The singer is thought to blame Rudolph for the recent events in her life, which include spells in rehab.

According to reports, the manager introduced Spears to Paris Hilton, and told the singer that socialising with Hilton would have a positive impact on her career.

However, Spears has only recently re-hired Rudolph, and they pair had agreed a long-term deal. This could result in legal action on the manager's part, leaving Spears in the lurch once again.

Spears is currently working on a comeback album.
