Party girl Britney dozy not drunk, manager explains

BRITNEY SPEARS finally appears to be acting like a new mother — by falling asleep on a New Year’s Eve night out.

The pop princess, who recently made headlines for a rash of less-than-motherly hard partying, fell asleep in a Las Vegas nightclub shortly after leading the New Year’s Eve countdown, her manager said.

“By about 1am, she was just done, so we took her out,” Spears’ manager, Larry Rudolph, said. “She was not drunk. She was just tired and falling asleep.”

Rudolph denied reports circulating that Spears, 25, collapsed shortly after midnight and was carried out by bodyguards.

The star was hired to host the festivities at Caesar’s Palace’s Pure nightclub.

Rudolph said Spears walked out of the club and did not seek medical attention.

“There is nothing out of the ordinary here,” he said.

Spears was travelling with her two sons, three-month-old Jayden James and one-year-old Sean Preston.

She filed for divorce in November from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline.

Spears noted on her website earlier this month that in recent nights out — one in which she flashed her lack of underwear to paparazzi — she may have taken her “new-found freedom a little too far”.
