Having just flown into town the previous evening, Britney Spears was hard at work in Miami, Florida on Friday afternoon (January 29).
Wearing a pretty pink sweater while joined by her trusty security staffer, the “Womanizer” singer made her way to a recording studio to work on new material.
As previously reported by Gossip Center, Britney recently joined Lady GaGa, Kate Bosworth and a slew of other celebs in donating to the Haiti relief efforts.
Miss Spears announced that she’s auctioning off her silver Versace gown from the MTV Video Music Awards in 2008 – with all proceeds heading straight to charity.

An upbeat Britney Spears appeared in court Friday with her father for a closed-door hearing in her ongoing conservatorship case.
The singer, 28, wore a gray jacket and black skirt with her hair dark brown and long with a few blonde streaks. She entered the courtroom at 1:45 p.m. from the judge’s hallway door following her father, Jamie.
Spears smiled as she stood at the attorney table next to her court-appointed lawyer Samuel Ingham. After Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz took the stand, Spears’s conservator lawyers requested to seal the courtroom because the hearing involved personal medical information.
The judge granted the request and ordered reporters and other audience members to leave.
It’s been nearly two years since the pop star’s father gained legal control over her affairs following her mental breakdown, and experts say it’s normal procedure for the judge to want to check in with her.
Experts add that Spears won’t regain control of her own life until she proves to the court – backed by doctors’ opinions – that she’s able to manage her own affairs.

Cathy Dennis worked out she could make much more money for far less work by writing songs for other people. Starting with the B-side to the Spice Girls’ Wannabe (called Bumper To Bumper), she has since written some of the biggest pop hits of the last decade including Can’t Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue, Toxic by Britney Spears, and I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry.
Where is she now? Still churning out the hits for other artists (she’s working on Britney’s forthcoming album) and is rumoured to be releasing her first single, called Killer Love, since 1997.

Britney Spears started off her day around 11 a.m., first stopping by a music studio on Wilshire – where she was working on her latest album! So excited for that, natch. Then our girl was dropped off in Bev Hills for a little retail therapy…
Our photogs on the scene say that Brit “seemed relieved to get out of the house,” or in this case, her hotel!, and that she “appeared to be in better spirits than in recent days.”
Then Britney stopped at Pottery Barn for some moderately priced home furnishings and afterward, headed to the Chateau Marmont around 2:45 pm.
Jason Trawick was there waiting for her. So it looks like the twosome are at least on friendly terms. Maybe their rough patch is smoothed over temporarily?
The two just left the hotel together in the same car — Brit’s bodyguard driving Jason’s car and Jason chauffeuring Britney in her car. They stopped at Jason’s house to pick up what appeared to be an overnight bag for him and then headed to Britney’s house!

This is the first recording studio visit we’ve heard about! Let’s hope something great came out of it!

Now that it’s 2010 I thought it was time for an update on Britney’s seventh studio album.
To be honest, we don’t know a lot. As far as we know, Britney is starting to record this month. Darkchild said the process would start “in January” and Danja “soon.” Rumours of a single release in March are flying around, though I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Below is a list of producers confirmed to be submitting songs to Jive for consideration. This means that Britney may not even end up working with them if their material isn’t chosen:
- Max Martin
- Dr Luke
- Danja, Lago and Jim Beanz
- Fernando Garribay
- Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins
- Lucas Secon
- Chad Dexter
- David Guetta
- Sean Garrett
- Jon Asher
Hopefully we will find out more concrete information later this month.
Check out past updates on the album here.
