Newsflash: Today Britney Spears formally announced that she will be putting her singer career on hold and to become a professional tennis player. Clearly I’m just kidding, but if Anna Kournikova could get rich from looking pretty on the court and never winning a match, why not Brit Brit.

X17 is reporting:

‘Britney hit the courts today for a little exercise at Promises and she found a pretty HOT opponent! Our girl is lookin’ good and she finally seems happy and back to her old self. Britney played around on the court in the beautiful Malibu mountains, laughing, joking, and dancing around. The two played tennis for all of eight minutes! We don’t know who her new friend is, though we believe he’s a patient at the center, but we do know that the two of them looked like they were having a great time together and Britney appeared very comfortable around him and her spirit seemed revived. I hope this is the beginning of more good things to come for Britney!’

Britney Spears seems to be doing quite well despite what many media sources are reporting. It’s good to see her finally looking happy. I hope this stint in rehab is a rebirth for her. Lookout Serena, Britney’s on your heels!
