Britney's Briar Patch
If you believe what you read, you
likely think pop princess Britney Spears' career has been speared at age 21.
But a few weeks back — with uncharacteristic stealth — Spears spiked her
longtime Hollywood PR woman and signed with a New York damage-control
specialist, who is getting her back on track.
She needed the help. Her record sales
began slumping, her film debut, "Crossroads," was no blockbuster,
her romance with 'N Sync hottie Justin Timberlake fizzled and her parents
split — all within four months last spring. Next, she walked off a stage
cursing in Mexico, pulled the plug on a tour, announced she was taking a
six-month vacation and bailed out of an ill-fated restaurant venture. Then
came reports of sex romps with Limp Bizkit bad boy Fred Durst, nipple-piercing
and cocaine abuse.
It was the last that brought her new
Mr. Fix-It out into the open, issuing denials. Dan Klores, who has previously
ministered to Mike Tyson, Sean Combs and Lizzie Grubman, actually began
working for Spears alongside Hollywood flack Lisa Kasteler — "who I
like," Klores says — in December. He must have done well because Spears
fired Kasteler last month. Kasteler didn't return a call for comment.
Now, Klores, who also represents the
Daily News, is invading Kasteler's turf. At a screening last week of the raw
and poignant Showtime movie he co-directed, "The Boys of 2nd Street
Park," about some childhood pals, Klores revealed he's in talks to direct
a second film. Maybe there'll be a part for Britney.

Britney Might Appear On Will & Grace
Britney Spears. Fans who went to Tuesday's
Will & Grace taping (the one with Madonna) are abuzz about the warm-up
comedian's announcement that Britney "might be a guest star coming
up."
Though I can think of nothing better to
lift our nation's spirits than a fabulous Jack-Brit dance-off (sensaysh!), a
source close to the show tells me Miss B.S. has sadly not been cast in either of
the two remaining episodes.
But wait, there is hope! The same
insider also reveals that producers have talked about Britney appearing as a
guest star--so, with a little luck and a few prayers to the goddess of divadom
(get busy, tubers), it could happen next season.
