Britney Spears Hates Her Manager

FOX News Online is running a piece on Britney Spears in which it says she can’t stand her manager, Larry Rudolph. Larry Rudolph was her manager for a decade up until October 2004, and it’s thought she re-signed her contract with him at about the time she split up with K-Fed.

Spears, for example, has been telling friends that she “hates” Rudolph and never intended to sign with him again after leaving his orbit in October 2004. That’s when Spears severed her relations with Rudolph after nearly a decade.

But then, when Spears went off the deep end last year following her separation from the infamously impaired Kevin Federline, Rudolph stepped in and got Spears’s name back on the dotted line.

“She signed a five year contract with him,” says a source. “She says she didn’t know what she was doing at the time, and can’t stand him. But what can she do? Bring in a lawyer and say she signed under duress? That she was drunk or stoned?”

The article proceeds to go on about how they attempted to contact a rep for Spears for any comment, but both her lawyer and Rudolph were unavailable for comment:

If Spears did want to call a lawyer then the next question is, who would that be? Her music business legal rep, Gary Stiffelman, didn’t return calls yesterday. I speak for a moment to her high-powered Hollywood divorce attorney Laura Wasser, wife of Dennis Wasser, who only said, “I can’t discuss anything.”

Rudolph also didn’t return calls yesterday. His ReignDeer Management company has a telephone voice answering system that doesn’t work. More curious: His Myspace.com page features another artist, not Britney, whom I guess he’s representing now.

Spears also has no proper publicist in place. Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, who got her through years of scandals, is off the case. Spears’ record company publicist, Gina Orr, doesn’t respond to emails or calls.

It doesn’t seem that Britney is getting proper guidance at the moment, and this is not good news for a recovering star who had a very public nervous breakdown, got out of rehab, and is looking to relauch her name on the music scene. She needs to stop spending her money on going out and buying bad wigs and invest it in people who can actually help her get her personal and professional life back on track.

If she does hate Rudolph that much and wants to get out of their contract that badly, maybe she can use the same excuse she used to annul her 55-hour marriage?
