Britney smitten by rehab, musician mate

Pop singer Britney Spears is reportedly besotted with musician Howie Day, who she met at the Malibu rehab.

Pop singer Britney Spears is reportedly besotted with musician Howie Day, and the singer is planning to bring Day as her date when she attends her cousin’s wedding on June 2. Spears met the musician at Promises rehab in Malibu, where she underwent a one month rehab stint.

An insider said that the ‘Toxic’ singer seems to get cheerful and gets back to her old self, whenever she talks to Day or when she talks about him.

The source added that Spears thinks that he is very talented, and that the musician is the ‘best kisser ever’.

“Britney just lights up and seems back to her old self when she talks to Howie or tells people about him. She thinks he’s very talented — and says he’s the best kisser ever,” Hollywoodrag quoted an insider, as telling Life &Style magazine.

However, the Toxic singer’s mother doesn’t want a musician for her daughter, and the source said that Day is susceptible to a few things that are discouraged in rehab.

“Lynne wants Britney to be with someone outside the music industry, Howie is always on the road and exposed to influences that are discouraged in rehab,” the insider added.
