SPEARS IN TALKS TO MAKE MOVIE COMEBACK

BRITNEY SPEARS is planning to get her career back on track with another foray into acting - the singer is in talks to star in new movie MEMOIRS OF A MEDICATED CHILD.

The troubled pop star's last big screen outing was in 2002's Crossroads, but she is set to make a return after producers decided to approach Spears in favour of their original choice, Lindsay Lohan.

Director Tommy Parker tells the New York Post's gossip column, Page Six, "As far as Britney's concerned, we're talking."

Spears is currently in negotiations to take on the role of the girlfriend of a misdiagnosed mentally-ill patient.
