That speculation, it turns out, was true. People.com reported over the weekend that Spears is indeed heading back to prime time: “The show is ecstatic and so is Britney. She had so much fun the first time around she really wanted to come back,” a source told Web site.
However, there are members of the Spears camp who aren’t so ecstatic. “Sure, she had a fun time, but it wasn’t about a comeback,” said a source. “It was about getting her on the road to being better. The last thing we want is a new element of fame for her to have to deal with.”
The March 24 episode that featured Spears drew 10.62 million viewers — about a million more than the prior week’s episode. The episode also generated the largest audience in the 18-to-49 age range in the show’s three-year history.
Will Britney ever make a real come back?
