Britney Spears wearing a pink Ed Hardy T-shirt and jeans and the traditional brown boots in Los Angeles. She picked up some gifts for her sister Jamie Lynn, who turns 17 on Friday.

"She was laughing as she tried on sunglasses and checked out the bathing suits," said an onlooker.

Also earlier in the day she spent a couple of hours with her kids, Jayden and Preston.

Britney's former manager Larry Rudolph said "I've spent some time with her just socially," said the music exec who managed her for nine years after discovering her as a teenager. "I've gone up to the house. She's in great shape."

Though he ruled out discussing business with her at the moment, Larry's confident she'll be back and bigger than ever in the not-too-distant future. "I can't think of a situation where somebody's been set up for a bigger comeback than that girl," he said.
