It was a serious meeting and they spoke about various programme ideas - including a new music show."The 26-year-old 'Toxic' star is attempting to get her career back on track following a difficult period, which included her shaving her head and being hospitalised for mental illness.She received rave reviews for her performance as a ditsy receptionist in the sitcom, and has also reportedly been approached to star as Sandy in a new production of musical 'Grease' on Broadway.Meanwhile, mother-of-two Britney will have to wait a little longer to regain full control of her life.Los Angeles commissioner Reva Goetz ruled yesterday (29.05.08) that Britney's medical and psychological condition is still "somewhat tenuous" so she will remain under the conservatorship of her father Jamie.After reviewing Britney's condition, Goetz said: "Her medical condition remains the same. Though there have been changes in her medication, I think in terms of her diagnosis, it's not complete."The singer's condition will be reviewed again on June 17. A trial has been set for July 31 to decide whether Jamie's conservatorship should be extended or dissolved. (C) BANG Media International
