The Smile's Back!

Brit's all smiles again! After a bad day on Friday (when her loyal father released a statement to the New York Post, critical of her supposed decision to fire her long-time manager Larry Rudolph, Britney got her groove back yesterday and was lookin' fine with her dark hair and fur bolero (I hope it's fake, Brit!).

She went to the tanning salon at the end of the day, headed home for a quick change, and then went to her favorite sushi restaurant at the Glen Center around 7pm with her cousin Allie.

Photogs say she was in good spirits and that she even told our videographer, after finding out he was with X17, "you guys are sweet!" -- See that video coming later ...
