Sinead O’Connor has offered to become Britney Spears‘ “bodyguard”. The Irish singer gave Spears a little unlikely support at a show in Los Angeles on Tuesday when she dedicated her version of spiritual Rivers of Babylon to the struggling mum of two. O’Connor told fans, “I’ve been keeping an eye on a girl who is getting a hard time in the media lately, and I just want her to know that if she needs a bodyguard, I’m her girl. “I’d like to dedicate this song to Britney Spears.”

It seems that Britney Spears is the hot favourite for playing a role in a new sitcom opposite ‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry.

Perry plays a businessman who asks a girl to pretend to be his wife to give his career a boost.

According to reports, NBC TV network heads want Spears to play the girl’s role.

A TV source said that Spears has the appeal that connects with the audience.

“There’s something about her that just connects with the audience,’ CM quoted the source, as saying.

UPDATE: A rep for NBC told Access Hollywood that the story is “untrue.”

P Diddy has dismissed claims that Britney Spears was drunk at the MTV Video Music Awards – saying he never saw her touch a drop of alcohol.

The rap star, 37, says he offered booze to everyone backstage at Las Vegas hotel The Sands – but insists Brit stuck to water before she performed her comeback single Gimme More.

‘The times that I was around her, in her defense, she don’t drink any alcohol,’ he tells TV show Access Hollywood.

‘I didn’t see her drink. I was hospitable, I offered everybody a drink and, you know, she had water.’

In a recent interview, soon to be aired, Oprah questioned Justin Timberlake about his relationship with Britney Spears.

“What do you think is going on with Britney?” she asked.

Replying to the question, Timberlake said: “I don’t know, to be honest with you. I haven’t spoken to her in years. I mean, there’s no ill will – I have nothing but love for her. It’s funny because we dated each other at a time … wow, I haven’t talked about this in a long time. It’s interesting.”

When Oprah pressed him to be more clearer on what he had to say about Britney, he said: “We were teenagers, you know?”

“I think that’s basically the best way to describe what happened to us. I think she’s a great person, and I don’t know her as well as I did. What I do know about her is she has a huge heart, and she is a great person,” he added.

Just hours after a judge ordered random drug tests for Britney Spears, the singer hit the Los Angeles nightclub scene overnight Tuesday.

Followed by a pack of paparazzi, Spears first was seen at Winston’s in West Hollywood with Lavigne and Spears’s friend Alli Sims.

The women left around 1 a.m., and Spears was later spotted at Hyde Lounge in West Hollywood until the club closed.

“They kept bringing (Spears) shots and so they were drinking,” says a Hyde observer. “She was dancing on the tables trying to be really sexy, even putting a black sock over her head as a hat, and putting on a show for everyone.”

The revolving door at Britney Spears’s camp continues to spin: the singer is now in the process of replacing her latest attorney.

High-profile divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope, who has represented Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage, tells People mag he’ll soon work for Spears, 25, in her bitter custody dispute with Kevin Federline.

Trope will take over for Melvin Goldsman, who was named as Laura Wasser’s replacement Monday after Wasser stepped down. Shortly after Wasser left, Spears’s manager also quit.

“Yes, it’s true Ms. Spears quit Melvin Goldsman’s firm, but we haven’t been officially retained yet,” Trope says. “The paperwork has not been signed, and it has to have our firm’s, Goldsman’s and Ms. Spears’s signatures. I anticipate it will be signed [Wednesday].”

Britney Spears is a “habitual, frequent and continuous” user of alcohol and controlled substances and now must undergo twice-weekly random testing, a judge in the singer’s custody case ruled.

Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon also ruled that both Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline may not consume alcohol or non-prescription controlled substances at least 12 hours prior to being with their children.

Spears, alone, was ordered to meet with a “parenting coach” at least twice a week for a total of eight hours, according to court documents released Tuesday.

“The parenting coach is to observe (Spears’s) interaction with the minor children and her parenting skills,” the Commissioner wrote. The coach will provide lawyers on both sides with written reports, and will appear in court at the ex-couple’s next hearing on Nov. 26.

Both Spears and Federline have also been ordered to complete a program called “Parenting Without Conflict,” and must enroll by the end of the week. They must attend joint co-parenting counseling, and both sides must decide on selection of a therapist by week’s end.
