Spears re-hires assistant Culotta

Britney Spears has re-hired the assistant who was by her side during the pop star's glory days.

Felicia Culotta has returned to Spears' entourage after quitting as a Jonas Brothers aide.

She'll reportedly join the pop star's current assistant, named Brett, who appeared alongside the singer in her recent 'For The Record' MTV documentary.

Culotta tells PerezHilton.com: "Britney has always held a special place in my heart, and over the course of the last year I have seen her work harder than she ever has in her entire life.

"I am really going to miss the Jonas boys, but I felt I had to be a part of this exciting time in Britney's career. I love Britney and missed her dearly."
