Britney Spears’ star is on the rise again! After what critics panned as a totally lousy performance at the MTV music awards last year, the October release of her new album ,Blackout, has done wonders for the slightly tarnished look of Brit lately. Britney Spears looked great at a recent party with Michael Jackson and word has it she is already back in the studio getting geared up for another album. No one is telling for sure yet, including famous producer J.R. Rotem. According to Rotem, Britney Spears possesses the star quality that just not everyone has. Rotem likes working with Spears and so while their brief romance last year did not blossom, let's hope their combined talents can produce another platinum record for Britney Spears.
