Britney Spears’ (Mini) Comeback

About Britney Spears

Britney Spears is no stranger to making headlines, but 2006 seemed to be a record tabloid year for the singer. Driving with her baby in her lap, a strange interview with NBC's Matt Lauer and a highly publicized divorce from Kevin Federline were just the beginning.

In early 2007, Britney gained even more attention when she shaved her head at a salon, then went to get a late-night tattoo. She had several mini attempts at entering rehab, but finally had a successful stay on her third try. After leaving rehab, she appeared to be on the fast track to getting her post-baby body back, including sessions at a dance studio.

Comeback Rumors

Of course, many speculated that her hours spent at the dance studio meant that she was training for a comeback. Then the gossip started to fly -- Spears was rumored to be appearing at a show for the band The M+ M's at the House of Blues in San Diego. While no one had heard of the band, the possibility of a Spears' sighting was enough to get people to buy tickets.

Celebrity Support

Spears’ third show even garnered a little celebrity interest. Party pal Lindsay Lohan was on hand at the West Hollywood House of Blues, as well as The Hills’ Whitney Port. Even Joe Simpson, father/manager of Ashlee and Jessica Simpson, was also rumored to have attended the show. Joe Simpson recently expressed an interest in managing Britney’s comeback career.
