She?s never afraid to take chances with new looks, but this time Britney Spears may have wandered off the path of good taste.
The ?Baby One More Time? songstress shows her hair roots with a pulled-up ponytail in new promo shot for her ?Scream & Shout? remix.
Spears also opted for an urban getup including an Adidas top with black nylon and gold-toned chain accents that many of her British fans have deemed ?chav-tastic.?
Still, Brit Brit seems to be doing well in the aftermath of her un-engagement to Jason Trawick, and she?s even found herself a new pooch pal.

Picking up some supplies on a Saturday afternoon, Britney Spears went grocery shopping in Los Angeles with her bodyguard (February 2).
The "Toxic" singer chewed gum as she pushed her cart loaded with fresh flowers back to her vehicle in a short-sleeved brown top and blue jeans.
Though she's been widely reported to be negotiating a huge Las Vegas performing deal, a spokeswoman for Caesars recently denied that the 31-year-old songstress was in contention.
Speaking on behalf of the casino, she says that although Caesars is "always interested in having artists with the caliber of Britney Spears performing at our theaters," Brit is not among the "top artists" in the running.

These are some new photos of Britney Spears out shopping yesterday, during which she changed from a sheer ruffled top to another cream top with a pearl studded collar. Her hair looked unkempt and was pushed back in a style reminiscent of Jessica Chastain’s Golden Globe disaster. If she was having a bad hair day she should have brushed it back into a sleek ponytail, as she did in the photos we saw yesterday. I’ve been doing that a lot lately as I’m trying to wash my hair every other day. It’s been so dry this winter! I don’t have extensions but I’ve heard that it’s better not to wash extensions daily, which may be why Britney’s hair is messy so often.
A lot of outlets are making a big deal out of the fact that Britney is no longer wearing her engagement ring following her broken engagement to Jason Trawick. The thing is, Britney hasn’t been wearing her engagement ring for at least a couple of weeks, which predates the announcement of her breakup. So either her split with Jason happened before it was announced (likely) or she switches up her jewelry every day. Britney is said to have given the $90,000 sparkler back to Jason.
I get worried about Britney when she’s papped so often. That sounds counter-intuitive, like I should be reassured by seeing her looking so happy, but it reminds me of that period before her breakup, when she was hounded by paparazzi and would drive around aimlessly. In this case she’s probably just showing everyone that she’s doing fine. Yesterday she even showed some sideboob, which I missed – my bad! I was so focused on her fug brown boots. She switched them out today for grey boots, which are still fug.
In our story yesterday on Britney’s breakup, the comments were somewhat evenly divided on whether Britney was being used by Jason, whether they had a business arrangement rather than a personal relationship, and whether their breakup was predetermined from the start. A lot of you mentioned that Jason was a great influence on Britney, regardless of whether he had ulterior motives. I would just like to see her happy and in a legitimate relationship, but given her level of fame, wealth and near-constant supervision that may be unrealistic.

I’ve been surprised by how many stories People Magazine has run about Britney Spears and Jason Trawick’s breakup. There were four stories in People just last week. The first couple of reports framed the split in terms of normal couple problems, like habituation and too much time apart. Then the last two seemed to place the blame squarely on Britney, claiming she was jealous, insecure and “treats him like a friend, not a romantic partner.”
People’s stories were in contrast to Radar Online’s accounts, which claimed that Britney’s father and Jason, her two co-conservators (Jason has since resigned as Britney’s conservator) conspired for Jason to break up with Britney, and that they sugar-coated the version he told her, so much so that Britney wasn’t sure their relationship was even over. I mentioned that the timing was suspect to me, particularly since Britney had just left X Factor after the season wrapped, and was on the verge of signing a big contract, reportedly worth over $100 million, for a residency at a venue in Vegas.
US Weekly had a story I wanted to mention which jibes with Radar’s version and seems to sum it all up for me. They claim that Jason was behind the big new gig for Britney, that he planned to ditch her “for months” and that he waited until he had a nice cut of her would-be earnings to end the relationship. That’s so cold. Here’s their report:
Britney was blindsided! Though the singer, 31, said in a statement January 11 that she and fiance of one year Jason Trawick had “mutually agreed” to end their engagement, sources insist Britney Spears never saw it coming. “He had been planning to break up with her for months,” says an insider. Trawick, who also comanaged Spears’ career, “was using her. He made a big deal for her to get a residence spot at Caesars in Las Vegas, then finally had enough money to end it.” He also cut ties as her coconservator, resigning just hours after split news broke. Adding to Spears’ angst? Her exit from The X Factor, announced less than 24 hours earlier. Though Spears says leaving was her decision, she was, in fact fired, as US first reported in December. Still, the embattled singer is trying to move past the drama. “She has her kids and a lot of work coming up,” says a pal. “And she’s going to be set up on dates with cute guys soon!’
[From US Weekly, print edition, January 28, 2013]
Doesn’t Britney have anyone in her life who isn’t using her? As usual, I came away from this story just feeling sorry for her. Plus she’s going to be “set up on dates with cute guys.” I expect a photo op soon.
Incidentally, as Britney’s co-manager, Jason probably made around 5-10% of her contract with Ceasars. (If it’s gone through, we haven’t heard about that yet.) That’s 5 to 10 million dollars. Not a bad payoff for a two year relationship. The creep.

With her bodyguard close at hand, Britney Spears visited a friend in Beverly Hills on Saturday (January 19).
The former "X Factor" judge wore a short earth-toned halter dress with brown boots while she carried a gray sweatshirt in to her pal's home.
With her departure from the hit show, illness of her puppy Hannah, and recent split from fiance Jason Trawick, some are wondering if the 31-year-old singer can keep it together and advance her career.
According to PEOPLE, an insider says that Brit is "definitely upset about the split," adding, "Britney is very insecure and has had a lot of trouble with jealousy. [She] is very worried about being alone. She is upset, but for a long time she has treated him like a friend, not a romantic partner."

These are photos of Britney Spears out wearing a “Love” sweatshirt and some Uggs yesterday in the wake of her split from fiance Jason Trawick. Britney and Jason were together for years, and it’s got to be hard on her to go through a split now, particularly when she’s just stepped away from the X Factor and doesn’t have firm plans for her next career move. Maybe Britney likes it that way, though. She looks like she’s very well put together here and doing fine, and communicating that to the public was probably the purpose of this little outing.
Radar has several insider-y stories that make it sound like Britney is not as together as she’s seemed lately, and that she’s still very much in need of both a conservatorship and being handled with kid gloves. The thing is, I lost faith in Radar’s sources when they ran that hoax story about Britney’s ex brother-in-law claiming he’s the father of Britney’s oldest son. It was all based on a fake lawsuit (US Weekly was also fooled by it) and it made me wonder how much information they have on Britney, and how much is conjecture. So with that caveat, here is some of Radar’s latest news. They claim that Britney is still holding out hope that Jason will be coming back, that she’s not entirely convinced that it’s over, and that the split was orchestrated by Britney’s dad and Jason. If this is true it makes me sad for her. Here’s more, and these are excerpts from a couple of different stories on Radar:
?It really wasn?t Britney?s decision to announce the split last week, it was Jamie who made the call,? a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
?Jason wanted out, and in the fragile state that Britney is in, it?s not like he could have a rational conversation with her about it, so it was really between him and Jamie. They decided how the relationship needed to end and how to go about the technicalities, such as removing Jason from the conservatorship, when he would move out and how to announce the split. Britney was left out of everything and really didn?t even know what was going on.?
When it was finally time to break the news to Britney, the source says the two men did it in a controlled and safe environment and were very careful explaining the situation to her, because they were afraid she wouldn?t take it well.
?Jason and Jamie wanted to make sure that Britney didn?t lose it, so they had to water things down for her a bit,? the source says. ?She knows that the engagement is off and that Jason has been removed from the conservatorship, but she still hasn?t exactly grasped yet that the relationship is totally over.?
?Jamie will be keeping a very close eye on Britney now she no longer has Jason in her life. He loved Jason like a son and trusted him to look after his daughter. Now that Jason is gone, Jamie is concerned that Britney doesn?t have any true friends to look out for her outside of her immediate family members, and he believes it is more important than ever right now to keep the conservatorship in place to protect her. As part of his conservatorship duties, Jamie controls who Britney interacts with, she isn?t free to go out and meet people on her own. It?s actually a really sad situation for Britney because she is extremely lonely, but Jamie wants to ensure there?s no repeat of the Sam Lutfi situation and that his daughter is not taken advantage of.?
“[The split] has really been in motion awhile. Jason has been very stressed and concerned for Britney and what she might do if he left,” an insider told FOX411?s Pop Tarts column. “He is worried about her and really loved her, but it started to take a real toll on him. The burden of taking care instead of a partnership where she also takes care.”
“Jason took on the role of ‘parent’ and Britney the role of ‘child’ when he agreed to conservatorship. This makes an uneven balance of power, typically kills intimacy and creates a dynamic of conflict in the relationship,” explained licensed psychotherapist, Stacy Kaiser.
[From two stories on Radar and Fox News]
These reports are similar to what Kaiser has been saying about this relationship – that it’s not fair to Britney to have her romantic partner be her co-conservator, and that it speaks to Britney’s fragile mental state. The thing that is starting to bring me over to that side of the story is that Jason broke up with Britney (if it went down that way) right when The X Factor was ending. It’s like he was acting more like a business manager than a boyfriend, and when that aspect was over he stepped aside. (Both as her fiance and as her co-conservator.) Or maybe it was all a coincidence. I don’t believe that he only had a business relationship with Britney, though. Do you remember that creepy video he made for her, in bed, in which he was encouraging her? He was her boyfriend, but he was also in control of her, and it was all quite strange. I’m just wondering what’s next for Britney, and if she’ll have to do another album and tour. She seems like she’s in a better place now, but like she’ll never be the one making decisions about her daily life.
Update: We may know what’s next for Britney. TMZ reports that she’s very close to signing an “astronomical” deal with an unnamed venue in Vegas that would be more than Celine Dion’s $100 million a year. It’s up in the air whether she will be performing or making appearances, or a combination of both. Maybe that’s why she looks so damn happy here.

Reports began in November that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick’s relationship was on the rocks because Britney felt Jason was acting too much like her father and she didn’t need another one of those. Later, rumors started surfacing that Jason was planning on splitting up with Britney afterX Factor ended.Turns out they were right because Britney and Jason have broken up. Jason didn’t want to make the announcement until he was taken off the conservatorship which he was. Britney’s rep announced to PEOPLE, “Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have mutually agreed to end their one-year engagement.As two mature adults, they came to the difficult decision to go their separate ways while continuing to remain friends.”Britney says in the statement, “Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement.I’ll always adore him and we will remain great friends.” Adds Jason, “As this chapter ends for us a new one begins. I love and cherish her and her boys and we will be close forever.”Everything seemed to be planned in advance as earlier in the day it was announced that Britney had signedwithCreative Artists Agency alluding to the fact that Jason would no longer play a part in her career.The good news is, now that Britney’s single, no longer mentally unstable and making sort of a career comeback, guys are lining up around the block trying to romance her. A few have even gone as far as to reenact the scene fromSay Anything with John Cusack but instead of holding a boombox over their heads, it’s a family sized bucket of KFC.

Wow, buried after 6 pm (EST) on a Friday night ? the Friday before the Golden Globes! Yeah. Why didn?t they want us to pay attention to this mess? TMZ reports that Britney Spears and Jason Trawick are finally, totally over, thus confirming widespread rumors and tabloid reports and my personal suspicions about the state of their relationship and engagement. Here?s TMZ?s report:
Britney Spears and Jason Trawick have broken up … TMZ has learned.
The couple got engaged back in 2011. Trawick started out as Britney’s agent, the duo started dating and he eventually became her co-conservator along with her dad, Jamie Spears.
Multiple sources connected to the couple tell TMZ … Jason didn’t want to make the announcement until he was taken off the conservatorship. Interestingly, lawyers for the conservatorship are in court right now, along with Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, so it’s possible Jason will be removed today.
Sources say it was a “friendly breakup” and Britney and Jason will remain friends. As for why they split, we’re told they just “grew apart.”
The timing’s pretty interesting considering Brit recently changed agencies, heading to CAA … an indication Trawick was no longer involved in managing her career.
[From TMZ]
That?s interesting about the conservatorship, because that was the first question I had ? ?I wonder if Jason is still going to have financial and legal control over Britney?? As for the breakup? it?s not shocking, but it?s still sad. I always thought Jason was more Britney ?handler? and ?wrangler? as opposed to her life partner and lover, and it sketched me out when Jason was made her co-conservator.
This also comes on the heels of Britney formally ?quitting? The X-Factor, although I don?t know why EVERY site and outlet ran the story like it was some huge news ? Britney?s contract was for one year. She didn?t want a second year, and neither did Simon. It wasn?t a situation where someone ?quit? or ?got fired?.
So, Brit-Brit is single again, and she?s doesn?t have a job. Jamie Spears better get the cheese grits ready.

OK! Magazine points us to some new photos of Britney Spears out getting a Frappuccino (natch) while wearing sweatpants, her engagement ring from Jason Trawick conspicuously absent from her left hand. (We don’t have those photos, you can see them here.) Now, an argument could be made for Britney going casual and leaving her jewelry at home. However, I also found photos of her in sweats less than a month ago, wearing her engagement ring. I’m thinking that Hollyscoop’s report before the holidays, that Jason and Britney were on the rocks, was accurate. Radar had a follow-up before Christmas claiming that it was make or break time for Britney and Jason. They’ve been together for three years, engaged for over a year, and they haven’t set a wedding date yet. So I believe that they’re having trouble. According to Radar, the only thing keeping them from breaking up was the fact that Jason is still Britney’s co-conservator, and it’s complicated legally. Here’s that older report:
?It?s a make or break holiday for Britney and Jason,? a source close to the Toxic singer told RadarOnline.com.
?Things have been getting worse and worse with their relationship for several months now, and they know they have to figure things out once and for all because they can?t keep going on like this.?
However, as Jason is a co-conservator over Britney?s estate and contractually has to be on set with her at all times during taping of The X Factor, the decision to stay together or not isn?t an easy one to make for either of them.
?If they do decide to call off the engagement for good, things are going to be tricky, legally and financially, so it isn?t just the state of their relationship they have to think about,? the source said.
“If there wasn’t those considerations involved they would of split a while ago.
?They hope to come to a decision before the new year,? the source divulged.
Meanwhile, it seems Spears may already be laying the groundwork to appear as the dumper, not the dumped!
A close source tells Radar that Britney has said she and Jason have been fighting because he wants to have kids and she doesn?t!
?Britney said Jason wants to be a father, and while he?s happily taken on the role of adopted dad to both Jayden and Sean, he still wants Britney to have his kids,? the insider says.
?Britney says she’s happy with just her two children at the moment and wants to concentrate on her career, which doesn?t sit well with Jason.
“Which is kind of bizarre as just a few months ago she would of JUMPED at the chance to expand her family with Jason. There seems to have been a marked turnaround in Britney’s thought process and emotions recently, and quite frankly, it doesn’t ring true!”
[From Radar Online]
If that’s true, and Britney did take a stand at not wanting to have more children now, good for her. She really struggled with motherhood, to say the least, and that’s probably for the best that she not plan for more kids.
Meanwhile, Radar has a

This is what Britney Spears looked like when a fan told her “I love you inCrossroads.”Yep, I would have given them the same “WTF? My god, you’re an idiot. I’m sorry that you’re retarded” look.
