Britney Spears having bad luck on the dating scene

Britney Spears has revealed that despite the confines of her conservatorship, she is starting to date - but it’s not going very well.

She told Rolling Stone magazine that she’s been out with a couple of men recently but nothing looks promising: “Right when we got there [for the first date], we just knew it was just bad.

“He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier. … So I had to get dessert first.

“And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older. … We’re trying to ask him questions, like, ‘OK, you’re into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, all kinds.’ That was it. But you know how silly we are, so we were just cracking up.”

The star flew into Germany on Monday to promote her new album around Europe this week. The album, ‘Circus’ is released in the UK next Monday.
