Accompanied by Daddy Spears, Hollywood hopeful Britney Spears made an appearance at Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier’s 50th birthday party in Los Angeles Friday.

An alcohol-free Brit is said to have smoked cigarettes while hanging out with girlfriends in a roped-off VIP area for an hour before heading home with Daddy Spears in tow.

Amazing…  A beachside retreat to Cabos San Lucas, daily trips to Bally Fitness, Adnan nowhere in sight and the girl still looks like a bloated Daytona Beach stripper working the Tuesday brunch shift.  t

Ever since Daddy Spears has assumed control over his daughter’s life, things have seemingly gotten better and better. But does that mean she’s ready for the big time again?

26-year-old (really? really?) former pop sensation Britney Spears was recently seen dining with Palms Hotel & Casino owner George Maloof in California. Rumor has is it the two were discussing the possibility of her teaming up with the Las Vegas hot spot for a comeback.

If all goes according to plan, she is reportedly prepared to make an estimated $10 million for performing exclusively for the hotel.

An insider said: “She wants to make a splashy comeback in Las Vegas. He wants the show to be full of high energy and flashy costume changes.”

Does anyone remember what made her lose her mind to begin with?  If I recall correctly it was her constant working and the perils that come with other’s dictating what she should and should not be doing.  Then she snapped and everything has gone downhill since then.

What Britney needs now isn’t a comeback.  What she needs is time away from the media frenzy that has encompassed her life for the past couple of years and then comeback after she has had sufficient amount of time to rehabilitate.

Do you think Britney is ready for her comeback?
