Anybody who thinks Britney Spears is going to just fade away and die doesn't know Britney Spears. I guarantee you that that girl can lose 45 pounds in a month and come back stronger than ever. Knowing Britney, she's just that kind of person. She's just driven. Anybody who thinks she can't do it is dead wrong. Trust me, she's got it made. She's happy.
