Britney Spears Mixes Business with Boyfriend…Again

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Dating, Hook-ups, Photos, Paparazzi Photos, Rumors,

Britney Spears, platinum recording artist and mother of two, doesn’t have a lot of time between picking out skimpy outfits, learning her choreography and globetrotting for her tour to seek out a new man. So, she just picks from among those closest to her…co-workers.

Thus far, Brit’s dating style hasn’t exactly worked for her in the past…but why not keep trying, anyway?

According to TMZ, “multiple sources” are now confirming that Spears is indeed dating one of her agents. She was recently pictured frolicking on a beach in a bikini with Jason Trawick of the world-renown William Morris Agency…but apparently, it’s not a service that’s available to every single client of the celebrated firm. Just, you know, the celebrities their agents might be dating at the time.

Allison Iraheta, the girl who rocked American Idol’s eighth season, has been signed by 19 Recordings. Her debut album is expected to be released sometime this fall.

“I think I’m still in shock that this is happening,” she said in a recent statement. “Getting to record my first album and this whole awesome experience is a dream come true!”

Iraheta finished in fourth place on the show, followed by Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen (in that order). Allen and Lambert have both also inked recording contracts, but as of right now there’s nothing new to report on Gokey’s musical career.

“I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear I’m gay,” Adam Lambert said in his highly-anticipated Rolling Stone interview. Really, it isn’t. After months of photos featuring a glammed-up Lambert in the company of beautiful men, the real shocker would have been hearing him say he’s straight.

“Right after the finale, I almost started talking about it to the reporters,” he explained. Lambert went on to say he decided to wait for Rolling Stone, and that’s exactly what he did.
