Britney was drugged by her boss, says mum

Britney Spears was drugged by her manager, says mum Lynne
Britney Spears's mum has claimed that the star's ex-manager 'crushed up drugs' and put them in her food. During the ongoing battle with the singer's former employee, Osama 'Sam' Lufti, Lynne Spears has told a US court that he admitted to her that he did so five years ago to help her sleep.

This was thought to have been going on during Britney's public meltdown which saw her shaving her head, temporarily losing custody of her kids and being hospitalised. Lufti is suing Britney for a share of her fortune, claiming he had an agreement as her manager for 15% of her earnings before he was let go in 2008.

He is also suing over 'lies' about him in her 2008 book Through the Storm, and Britney's father Jamie for allegedly punching him. However, Lufti has always maintained he was trying to get Britney clean of drugs. It's thought Lynne Spears told the court he cut off Britney's phone, but despite her worry, didn't call the police: "I was very worried and I didn't know what to do so I tried to get her away from there."

But, admitting that she was estranged from her daughter for a while in 2007, she said how Lufti told her he wanted to help reunite them. Meanwhile, Lufti, who claims the drug crystal meth was found in Britney's home, has also been accused of planting the drugs as a 'manipulation tactic' by Britney's ex-nanny Leah Frand.

 
TMZ has reported that Leah, who worked for Britney closely for around six months in 2007, said: "I have never seen meth in that house or any type of drug." Lufti has also claimed that the 'Toxic' singer 'was so paranoid' she shaved her head so officials couldn't test her hair for drugs.

Britney Spears, fiancé Jason Trawick celebrate engagement in Las Vegas

Britney Spears and her fiancé Jason Trawick celebrated their engagement in Las Vegas on Friday (December 16).

Trawick confirmed yesterday that Spears had accepted his marriage proposal after dating for more than a year, adding that he was "over the moon, as [was] she".

The couple were joined by Spears's two sons Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline on a trip to Sin City, with People reporting that they stayed in a "mega suite" at the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino.

Spears and her fiancé toasted Trawick's 40th birthday with Planet Hollywood chairman Robert Earl, but a source said that the popstar "wanted it to be quick because her kids were upstairs and she wanted to put them to bed".

The happy couple then had dinner with family and friends at Sugar Factory's Chocolate Lounge and partied at the Paris hotel's Chateau Nightclub until 1am local time.

An eye-witness revealed: "Britney seemed happy, holding Jason's hand."

Spears later took to Twitter to share her joy with fans by writing: "Tonight was one of the most magical nights of my life. Such an amazing time with my new fiancé and our closest friends and family."

She first hinted at the engagement on Friday morning, when she tweeted that Trawick had given her "the one gift [she's] been waiting for".

The 'Criminal' singer previously tied the knot with childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander, but their union was annulled just 55 hours later.

Spears was married to dancer Kevin Federline for two years, but their relationship ended in divorce in November 2006. Federline is the father to Spears's two sons.

Britney Spears wanted to be a teacher!

Over the years Britney Spears has provided us with the kind of material that can get you through a break-up, make-up, or even epic shower-singing session. Just us?
Well whack on that Greatest Hits CD in celebration, 29-year-old Britney has revealed that if things had gone a bit pear-shaped and she hadn't made it in the big bad world of showbiz, she would’ve loved to have been a teacher. From some of those music videos it seems as though her life lessons were best kept out of the classroom and playground chit-chat. Just look at her on stage there, writhing about looking all...studious. Britney says,
"I love kids, and even in what I do now one of my favourite parts of my day is getting to meet my fans before the show, especially the little ones. They are always so cute...My mum was a teacher. I'd specialise in reading and history," We know a few people in the Heat office that would’ve loved to have had Britney as a teacher..
When asked her opinion on the possibility that her sons Sean Preston and Jayden might want to follow in her footsteps, Britney says,
"I'd definitely keep an eye on them, but if that's what they wanted to do then I'd let them go after it,"
Well, we think if Britney hadn’t gone down the road of fame and fortune, she definitely would’ve been our favourite teacher. As you Heatworld Citizens are probably well aware, Brit expressed an interest in the profession in her first music video for hit single Hit Me Baby One More Time. Okay so she was a scantily clad student, looked incredibly bored and spent most of the time getting her groove on in the school gym, but boy could she rock the old half-up half-down hair do’!
