It seems that Britney Spears has got a back-up plan in case her much-rumoured comeback isn’t a success: she’ll be a cocktail waitress at Les Deux.

According to reports, Britney approached the Hollywood club’s manager on Saturday night and asked for a job.

An onlooker revealed: “Britney told one of the managers, ‘I really want to get a job here - I love the sexy red corsets the cocktail waitresses wear!’ and he said ‘Well, you should fill out an application then!’”

“She filled out the application, including her work history, address, social security number, and then she went to a back room for an interview with the manager.

“Everyone thought she was joking, but she seemed dead serious.”

The incident is reminiscent of a night out at One Little West 12th in New York in February when Britney swapped her mini-dress for a go-go-dancer’s bikini after telling the dancers’ that she liked the look.

Britney is expected to release her comeback single (tentatively called “Get Back”) in the early autumn with the album following early in the new year.
