Avert your eyes, ladies and gentlemen. Britney Spears is taking charge of her own publicity. The pop-tart turned mother-of-two's longtime flack Leslie Sloane Zelnik has been on hiatus since Labor Day, with Spears vowing she could handle the PR duties related to the birth of her second son, Sutton, on her own. (Her music rep, Sonia Muckle, is still on the job.)
Expect more classic TV moments such as Spears's interview with Matt Lauer last June, when the Today host arrived to find Kevin Federline's disheveled wife alone at her Malibu mansion in runny makeup and fake eyelashes. Of course, Sloan Zelnick may be relieved. "If Britney were my client, I would fire her," says a rival flack. "Why work with someone who clearly doesn't want to listen?"
At least Britney's first move since the split was a smart one. According to multiple sources, Spears negotiated an enviably lucrative deal for the exclusive rights to the first photos of Sutton. Although OK! magazine made a strong bid that one source says was close to $2 million (another source involved in the talks pegged it at far less), Spears turned OK! down in favor of a deal with People, who also snapped her first kid, Sean Preston, and her wedding to Federline. "That was smart," says an insider. " OK! is famous for not paying people on time."

Get ready for the Britney Spears Career Supernova: you'll have to shield your eyes from the disaster...
If she's got even 1/4 of a brain, she'll hire another publicist--any publicist--STAT!

I have a feeling she's a nightmare PR client along the lines of Tom Cruise - can't convince them to shut the hell up.

Wait, so she turned down a magazine that isn't reliable for paying people?
WOW, that's so smart! I never would have thought of that! 
I bet she wrangled that decision around in her pea brain for days.
Fucking idiot.

I still remember that unrecorded comment where someone
asked her, "What was the last thing you had in your mouth?"
Spears replied, " a dildo."
This decision can't end well.

BRITNEY SPEARS has fired longtime publicist LESLIE SLOANE-ZELNICK and taken charge of her own public relations according to media reports in the US. Sloane-Zelnick has been on hiatus since the beginning of September (06), after Spears insisted on handling the PR duties surrounding the birth of her second son SUTTON PIERCE, who was born on 12 September (06). Spears unsuccessfully orchestrated an interview with American TODAY SHOW host MATT LAUER in June (06), where she wore a revealing top and chewed gum during her appearance. Sources tell entertainment website Radar Online that Spears did manage to negotiate a lucrative deal for the exclusive rights to the first photos of Sutton. Although OK! magazine reportedly bid close to $2 million (GBP1.1 million) for the first photos, Spears turned down the deal and decided to go with US publication People. People also published the first photos of her first child, SEAN PRESTON, as well as the pictures from her wedding to KEVIN FEDERLINE.

I thought this very thing when I read the title:
" Of course, Sloan Zelnick may be relieved. "If Britney were my client, I would fire her," says a rival flack. "Why work with someone who clearly doesn't want to listen?"
