Britney Spears enjoyed a night out in Los Angeles on Monday (11.06.07).

The ‘Toxic' singer was joined by her assistant Alli Sims and some female friends for dinner at her new favourite restaurant, Bel Air's SHU Sushi House Unico.

A source told People magazine: "She dined upstairs in a private area. She ordered her usual - California roll and a salad.

"She seemed happy. She just enjoyed the music on the radio, the atmosphere and the food. She was having fun."

The mother-of-two then visited Hollywood nightclub Guy's, followed by a brief visit to hip hangout Winston's.

A fellow reveller said: "Britney and Alli were holding hands, not leaving one another's side. Britney spent much of her time whispering into Alli's ear, smiling, drinking a bottle of water - she seemed to be in a really good mood, goofing around."

Just before 1am, the singer and her friends moved on to Joseph's nightclub, where the night began to take its toll on the 26-year-old.

A witness said: "Britney was pretty subdued. She didn't really appear to be having a good time. She was casually talking with Alli. All the guests were swarming around her table to try and get a peek."
