BRITNEY SPEARS - SPEARS SET FOR REHAB RELEASE THIS WEEK

BRITNEY SPEARS will be leaving rehab this week (ends23MAR07), according to reports in America. The troubled pop star checked into the Promises treatment centre in Malibu, California last month (FEB07), and now counsellors claim she's ready to take on the world again after battling her substance abuse demons. Sources tell TMZ.com the rehab stay has helped the pop star get a grip on her life. One claims she had an "amazing meeting" with her estranged husband, KEVIN FEDERLINE, at the weekend (18MAR07), and has promised to deal with their custody issues over sons SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES amicably. According to the website, Spears and Federline have agreed to an even split of physical custody, while the pop star will gain primary custody of her kids when she's back on her feet - and that will be sooner rather than later. One insider says, "Britney has literally turned her life around."
