BRITNEY SPEARS has been dumped by her manager.

In a statement released late on Monday (17Sep07), revered Hollywood svengali Jeff Kwatinetz has confirmed he and his partners at top agency The Firm have “terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears.”

The news came hours after Spears’ lawyer, Laura Wasser, quit the singer’s
child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Kwatinetz, who represented Kelly Clarkson until she sacked him earlier this year (07), adds, “We believe Britney is enormously talented… but current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job.”

The manager’s decision to quit comes a week after Spears’ disastrous
appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas (09Sep07), where she seemed out of shape and out of practice as she opened the show with new single Gimme More. (KL/WNWC/JC)
