Britney Spears rehires cousin Alli Sims as assistant

Britney Spears has rehired her cousin Alli Sims as her assistant. The pop princess rehired he cousin after she fired Shannon Funk last month. Sims only agreed to take the position temporarily until Spears could hire someone full time.

 

Sims recently announced she was planning to launch her own singing career, but she wouldn’t sing Britney’s style. Sims says she’s going for more of the blues sound.

 

“Britney and Alli split on really good terms and Alli was very good at her job, so Britney wanted her back almost as soon as she’d quit,” a source says. “Britney was particularly impressed when Alli stood up for her and insisted she was a great mom in a recent interview with People magazine. She knows Alli is someone she can trust.”

 

The ‘Toxic’ singer recently divorced Kevin Federline. The pair is said to be fighting over custody of their two sons. Federline claims Spears is not a suitable mother and wants full custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.
