IUC Exclusive: Oh No, Britney’s ongoing Circus Continues; self destructs on U.K. mini tour, threatens to retire

Britney

Word from my sources in Britney’s camp is that she’s had a rough time in the U.K. this week.  She told a close friend she doesn’t know how much longer she can put up with the showbiz life and said if her new album “Circus” bombs she’s going to retire. 

She got lambasted by the U.K. media for lip synching on the popular hit show X Factor – even though she pulled in over 12 million viewers.  Her manager Larry Rudolph has become the target of negative media cause of the way he’s been handling her promotion/appearances.  Look for them to split again if the album bombs.  And, if that’s not enough, a member of Britney’s entourage confirmed to IUC that Brit has been dosed up on heavy meds to soothe her nerves and to calm her down.  She also got into a heavy shouting match recently with one of her backup dancers.  Perhaps it’s too soon – all the energy being put into Brit’s comeback should have been put into her rehab process.  But the vultures around her prefer making tons of dough instead of getting her the help she needs.  DEVELOPING…
