Britney Spear's manager Larry Rudolph says 'SPEARS IS LIKE FAMILY'

BRITNEY SPEARS' manager LARRY RUDOLPH has spoken of his close relationship with the singer - insisting he loves her like a daughter.
The music mogul is widely credited with masterminding the Toxic hitmaker's career, but was reportedly dismissed as her manager after he united with her parents to force Spears into rehab at the beginning of last year (07).

But Spears is bouncing back following a tumultuous last 12 months - which has seen her lose custody of her kids to ex-husband Kevin Federline, shave off all her hair, and endure two stints in hospital.

Rudolph is now working on her current comeback campaign, and admits he will always be there for the troubled star.

He tells the Los Angeles Times, "I've known this girl for over half her life, since she was 13. We have a very close friendship, but it's sort of hard for me to explain my relationship with her. It's a friendship, it's a business relationship, there are some paternal aspects to it.

"I understand her better than everyone other than her immediate family. The bottom line is I think she's amazing. I love her. She's been a big part of my life, and I've been a big part of her life. Being a part of this new phase in her career is something I was very open to."

Janet Jackson takes time off to plan pregnancy

JANET JACKSON is taking a break from music to focus on having a baby with boyfriend JERMAINE DUPRI, according to new reports.

Jackson sparked rumors she was expecting her first child with music mogul Dupri after she scrapped a string of rescheduled concerts after falling ill with vertigo at the beginning of October (08).


According to reports by the National Enquirer, the couple is using Jackson's hiatus to start a family.
A source tells the tabloid, "She's over her health problems, and he feels since the tour was less than a smash hit, it would be the perfect time to start a new project - a baby. Janet is 42 years old. Jermaine wants to get married and have a child before it's too late.

"Janet tried to fight through the dates but it was getting more and more difficult. He told her they don't need the money, and he didn't want to put her through the exhaustion and risk of more health problems. They both want a baby - he told her the time was now.

"He wants Janet to focus on her health so that if she gets pregnant, there won't be problems that could prevent her from carrying to full term. After hearing Jermaine's logic, she decided to cancel the tour.
Earlier this month, the singer revealed she is just waiting for the right time to become a first-time mum, telling Sister 2 Sister magazine, "At some point it's coming. When? I have no idea. He (Dupri) has been past ready. He's just waiting for me; I'm the one holding up the whole thing.



"Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen."

TIME 100: Brangelina The Most Influential People in the World

In the May double issue of TIME magazine, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are listed as 'Heroes & Pioneers'. They are considered as the most influential people in the world.

An article was written about the couple by George Clooney, who is actively engaged in trying to resolve the Darfur crisis

The article was described as :

It is one thing to talk about the problems of the world and quite another to actually try to change things.

As a team, actors Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, have served as our goodwill ambassadors worldwide. They brought help to Pakistan in 2005, after a catastrophic earthquake killed tens of thousands of people and left millions homeless. They have tended to the poor and sick in Africa.

And they've raised global awareness—and contributed $1 million of their own money—for the victims of atrocities in Darfur. Brad co-founded Not on Our Watch, an organization set up to focus global attention on Darfur and other hot spots.

In the U.S., Brad and Angelina didn't just talk about, or even just throw money at, the tragic fallout from Hurricane Katrina. They actually moved to New Orleans and have set about trying to make right what so many have made wrong. Brad established a project to finance and build 150 new homes in the Ninth Ward.

Angelina has worked tirelessly through the United Nations on behalf of refugees around the world, touring border camps in Africa, Asia and Latin America and lobbying on Capitol Hill. The couple cares for three adopted children, from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam, in addition to their biological daughter.

There are hundreds of people, who could be honored for their good works, but I've seen Brad and Angelina firsthand, and their commitment together is truly impressive.
