After spending Friday and Saturday recharging her batteries with her family, Britney Spears was all business yesterday afternoon, hitting the recording studio (accompanied by her mother Lynne) bright and early yesterday morning. Afterwards, the mother-daughter duo decided to indulge themselves with lunch at M Cafe de Chaya before heading over to Melrose to do a little shopping. As the pop princess left for lunch, however, a gaggle of fans caught sight of her and went into seizures of happiness as her SUV pulled away. Wow - if Britney's getting this much love when she's just out and about, imagine how crazy her fans are going to go when she shows up at the VMAs!

We can't wait for new Brit music, y'all!

After a playdate with Gavin and Gwen's - who checked into Cedars-Sinai today! - little Kingston, our girl Brit headed to the recording studio last night to work on her latest album. And who tagged along for support? Mom Lynne!

Nice to see Britney so focused on her career, even after a long day with the kids!

Our girl Brit sure had a tough day yesterday - especially when she bumped into a pair of pushy fans on her way to Tracey Ross! As you can see in our video, these two little girls simply would not take no for an answer, crowding Britney's car and even calling the pop princess a "bitch" for daring to cover up. Well, you'll certainly never get anywhere if that's your attitude, young ladies!

Thankfully, Britney's family was on hand to support her - not only did we catch her mother Lynn accompanying Brit into Tracey Ross, but we caught her leaving after dinner with none other than her brother Bryan a little later out in Silver Lake! Isn't it great seeing Britney's family coming to her aid like this? 'Course, that's just what the Spears family does when one of their daughters is in need!

Britney Spears barely had a moment to spare yesterday - on top of all her comeback-related commitments, she got in a little quality time with her mother!

We caught Britney and her mother Lynne dropping by Victoria's Secret to shop for unmentionables. Isn't it kind of Britney to spend so much of her free time with her mother? With the tabloids still running wild with those allegations, Lynne could use all the family support she can get!

According to the National Enquirer, Brit's mother Lynne was involved in a car accident in 1975 where she ran over and killed a 12-year-old boy on a bicycle. The newspaper reports that Lynne, then 20, was driving her brother to the hospital when the accident occurred in her hometown of Kentwood, Lousiana.

A source close to the Spears family told the newspaper, "To this day, Lynne hasn't gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it. She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, 'Please don't think I'm a bad person.'"

A representative for Spears told the National Enquirer, "It bothers Lynne still to this day. She really doesn't like to talk about it. She just wanted to forget that it ever happened - but she can't."

After spending Friday with the boys, Britney Spears spent Saturday night attending a Generation Rescue event thrown by Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy to raise money for autism research. That's our Britney - she's always happy to use her celebrity to benefit the children!

Britney slept in on Sunday, reappearing in Calabasas in the afternoon for a little shopping and lunch at Marmalade and a late lunch with some friends. As you can tell from the video, Britney seemed happy and carefree - though not as happy as she did while picking up her mother a few hours later!

The pop princess swung by LAX around 7 PM to pick up her mother Lynne, smiling big the whole time. Looks like Britney's really handling things well - we're sure her decision to give up custody over Sean and Jayden must have been heartbreaking, but she certainly seems relieved to have dodged an ugly court battle with Kevin!

On July 31st, Jamie Spears' conservatorship over his daughter Britney - in which he's being paid $2500 a week! - is set to expire...

Is Britney Better?

It's been a long time coming! Jamie has been in charge of Brit's affairs, everything from medical to legal, for about six months now. And in that time, Brit looks to have gotten a lot better! Check her out in the pix above from this weekend, shopping and getting dinner with her mom Lynne... what do you think, has her health improved?

Catch-22

Problem is, whether or not the conservatorship expires or is extended will mean a double-edged sword for Britney. If the judge continues Jamie Spears' control over his daughter's estate, this might better secure Brit's visitation with her two boys (right now, she has overnight visitation with Sean Preston and Jayden James).

BUT, if Brit is indeed deemed well enough for the conservatorship to expire, that might have a negative effect in her custody battle with ex Kevin Federline... will she risk losing her visitation rights with the kids? Will the judge not rule in her favor then? We hope not!

The Restraining Order

There's also the matter of Brit's former BFF Sam Lutfi, who is to remain 250 yards away from the pop star at all times due to the restraining order against him...

The hearing for this is set for July 31st as well. Talk about a busy day for our girl Brit! How do you think it'll all go down?

Check out more pix from Brit over the weekend below!

Before ending her busy day with dinner at the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills, our girl Brit got in tons of shopping at True Religion and Pottery Barn!

The original pop princess was accompanied by mom Lynne, and it looks like the duo was having a great time together - just look at all that laughing and smiling!

Hope she bought some sexy stuff!
