Britney's Family & Friends 'Worried About Vegas Gigs'

Britney Spears' family and friends have allegedly expressed their concerns over the star's rumoured Las Vegas residency.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that the pop princess was on the brink of inking a £100million one-year contract with Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino for an 80-date jaunt.

However, The Daily Mail has reported that those close to Britney are worried that the epic stint could hinder her "health and happiness."

Speaking of Spears' Sin City plans, a source told the newspaper: "I'm not sure just how good an idea Vegas is for Britney right now.

"If she can't handle The X Factor - how will she be able to perform five days a week in Vegas?

"She's a homebody, she loves her sons and has her daily routine. At this time, she may need to concentrate on her health and happiness - not rebuilding her career."

The Mail also suggests that questions have been raised regarding how the 31-year old will cope without ex-fiancé Jason Trawick following their split or whether the "shy" singer will be able to deal with the pressure of performing in Vegas.

They explained: "[At a industry party] Britney stood in a corner and hid. She didn't speak to anyone - you wouldn't even have realised she was there. She's a shy, shy girl."

Meanwhile, a source 'close' to Britney has reportedly branded The X Factor USA "a bad show" following her exit.

When asked by Gossip Cop whether there were any truth in rumours that she left the Fox talent show over money issues, the apparent rep said: "Vegas has been wooing her.

"For millions, why would she stay on a bad show - she is in demand - has a career."
