She sat at a piano and got some ideas. She played the piano and sang a bit. She enjoyed herself.”The insider explained that Britney, “wanted to go in as a way to get her creativity going. It was a really positive experience for her.”Last month, Britney and Rudolph re-established their rocky relationship, which went south last year when Britney blasted the man credited with guiding her to worldwide fame in a bizarre on-camera rant.He has since spoken out to insist that his former protege is “in great shape.”Britney Spears In Cleavagey Halter Top and Leather Jacket Out In Culver City
