Britney Reunited With Former Manager Larry Rudolph
Good things continue to happen in Britney Spears' life, and here is the latest:Â Former manager Larry Rudolph, who is credited with guiding her to her early success in pop music but who was ditched after he reportely made her check into the Promises Rehab Center, is back at the helm of The Good Ship Britneypop:
Spears and Rudolph worked together for many years off-and-on, and he is credited with shaping her highly successful early career. They most recently parted ways last year after Spears blamed him, in part, for encouraging her to enter Promises rehab center in Malibu. [...]At the time when Spears parted ways with Rudolph last year, her father, Jamie, sent an email to the New York Post supporting Rudolph despite his daughter's decision to sever their relationship.
"When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done," Jamie wrote. "She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life."
I'm telling you, this could be the biggest turnaround in pop music history. Larry Rudolph was the driving force behind the motorized machine that was Brit's early career, carefully cultivating her virginal image and always selling, selling, selling the Britney Brand. He quit when he gave her an ultimatum--Kevin Federline or me--but came back for a short time just before Brit went to rehab. She gave him the big boot and he's been out of the picture since.
I don't know as he can help her personally, but career-wise it's a huge deal. I certainly hope she realizes now that it's better to have people around you to make the big, important decisions, people who want to see you succeed and not just leech off you every chance they get.
I wonder if he can make her take out those nawsty extensions and do her hair all Laurie-Anderson-punky?
