Spears reportedly back with former manager

LOS ANGELES - Fresh off her successful appearance on CBS's "How I Met Your Mother," there is yet another sign Britney Spears could be returning to top of her game. The pop star has reunited with her former manager, Larry Rudolph.

"It's true," a source close to Britney told E! News. "They are working together."

Spears and Rudolph had a roller coaster of a professional relationship that ended with the pop star publicly blaming him for pressuring her to enter rehab, according E! News.

Rudolph is credited with taking Spears from just a small-town former-Disney actor and turning her into the world-famous pop star that she became.

The duo, who worked together for almost nine years, parted ways around the time Spears married now ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

Jamie Spears, the singer's father and co-conservator, has been an outspoken supporter of Rudolph, according to E! News. It is not known if Jamie was involved in the reunion of Spears and her former manager.
