Britney Spears BSPEARSTANNING010907_03.jpgBritney Spears may not have had the kindest words for her former manager Larry Rudolph in the past, but he's got nothing but the kindest words for her! Yes, the conspicuously absent Rudolph finally broke his press silence earlier today, talking for fifteen minutes with That Other Blog and giving an official statement. Predictably enough, Larry's statement is maddeningly short on concrete details (always the mark of a good manager!), but we were touched to see Larry's heartfelt declarations of unity with his embattled former client - not only does Larry claim to "understand...why she's said the things she said about me post rehab", but he even claims not to take it personally and claims that his "loyalty will always stay strong with Britney"!
