Spears plans £5 million Vegas comeback

Britney Spears is close to making a £5 million ($10 million) deal for a Las Vegas comeback, reports say.

The 26-year-old was recently spotted dining with Palms Hotel & Casino owner George Maloof in California. The pair were allegedly planning to bring Spears to Vegas for her return to music.

An insider said: "She wants to make a splashy comeback in Las Vegas. He wants the show to be full of high energy and flashy costume changes."

Spears is currently working on her new album with producer J.R. Rotem, a man with whom she was romantically linked following her split from Kevin Federline.

Rotem described the collaboration as "great", before adding: "She's like the master at what she does. She's a lot more experienced than most people. She just has the 'it' factor that not every artist has. So it's always nice to work with her."
