LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Pop princess Britney Spears is taking a six month break, but her publicist Thursday denied rumors that the 20-year-old singing sensation was so exhausted and broken-hearted that she was "running home to mom."
"She is taking six months off. She has been working for four years straight and she is taking a break. The girl works harder than anyone in the business and she is taking a break," publicist Lisa Kasteler told Reuters.
Spears' decision came just days after a controversial end to her world tour. She was booed by fans after cutting short her final show in Mexico City because of a torrential rainstorm, and made an obscene gesture to paparazzi photographers besieging her car. [/quoteurl]
