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?

I truly wish her the best. Regaining some respect from her fans and the general public might do her some good. I do worry though that she has de-valued herself in the past year. People have a difficult time forgetting the bad stuff. Especially when there are large quantities of it where Brit’s concerned.

he already helped her personally. he set aside his career, his income, probably his most lucrative client… to give her the bad news about “get thee into rehab” and he stuck to it. he was the guy who called serious attention to her stress and needs. he deserves a lot of credit.
she knows she has a trusted friend in him. he didn’t sell her down the river…he stepped up for her.
good luck, larry, one of the few Hollywood good guys. and good luck brit.
investing in a person instead of a thing.

Spears has already had far more success than she deserves for her meager talents, so I won’t be cheering for her. I want her to disappear. Real soon.

I’m not a Britney fan by any means.
However, I’m looking at this as no human being should have to live in a prison of their own mental illness, when there is help available. I could care less if she resurrects her career as long as she is mentally stable. It appears that finally, after a long time, her mental health seems to be on the mend and good things are happening in her life.
At least she has people around her who believe she is mentally ill and who know that medication, treatment, and therapy by qualified doctors is the best way to go for her…unlike, say, Lisa McPherson? (I don’t mean Lisa’s biological family)
