Britney's shock comeback plans

Posted by Jane Murphy

Here's Britney Spears during an evening out with friends in Los Angeles at the weekend. OK, so this picture isn't taken from her best angle - but you have to admit she's been scrubbing up rather nicely recently.

It's also worth noting that Brit-Brit didn't flash her undies, burst into tears or run off with a paparazzo. She just got out of her car, went into a restaurant and enjoyed a quiet meal with her mates. What a difference a few months can make, eh?

Talking of which, remember the erstwhile pop princess's shambolic performance at last year's MTV Video Music Awards? Well, rumour has it she's hoping to bury the ghost of that little episode by returning to the stage at this year's event in September.

"Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?" says MTV Networks Music Group president Van Toffler.

So while we cross our fingers and hope Van and the gang can coax Britney back to the scene of the crime, here's a reminder of the night it all went wrong (sorry, Britters!):
