Restaurant opening

There were violent thunderstorms in New York and a lack of celebs turning up to the opening of Nyla. But just as Britney was booed by fans at the UK premiere of 'Crossroads' back in March for not giving them attention, those who'd waited in the rain to see her last night weren't very pleased: "We're so unhappy, we waited so long to see her and all we got was the back of her head. I just wanted a wave Britney, just a wave! We've been standing here for four hours in the rain and she doesn't even look at us or wave? She didn't even turn her head."

Britney’s restaurant apologises...

Britney Spears' new restaurant Nyla has had to apologise to three diners who claim they got food poisoning after eating there. The three girls all complained of vomiting and diarrhoea after eating the wild striped bass. The New York restaurant, which only opened last week, is to give them gift certificates to say sorry.

End of Story

Britney Spears has pulled out of Nyla, the midtown Manhattan eatery she opened just five months ago. The pop star said in a statement that she has "terminated her relationship" with the restaurant she formed a partnership with in March because of mismanagement and "management's failure to keep her fully apprised."

The restaurant was plagued by lousy reviews and slow business.

Spears said in the statement, "I wish the restaurant and its current ownership continued success," adding that she had no involvement in Nyla's day-to-day affairs, and never earned any money or other benefits from it.
