Who says you can't go home again?

No one that we know, actually.

Certainly not Britney Spears!

A week after filing for divorce from that assclown Kevin Federline, the pop singer returned to her small-town roots, paying a visit to Kentwood, La., where she was born and raised.

After working on her new album in New York City (and showing off her newly-svelte figure, we might add -- you go girl), Spears quietly arrived in her hometown with her two young sons, Sean Preston and Sutton Pierce. Er, Jayden James.

During her stay, she paid a visit to longtime family friend Nyla Price, 55, owner of Nyla's Burger Basket - a family favorite - in nearby Osyka, Miss. She spent some down time with her kids, friends and family.

Spears is "a wonderful mother and she's doing great right now," Price tells People. "She looks beautiful with her cute little short hair cut. She's happy and doing just fine. The babies are gorgeous â€" both of them are so adorable."

No word on whether Price took any Jayden James pictures or whether they will be leaked onto the Internet anytime soon. We'll let you know if we hear anything.

Spears and her sons left Kentwood on Tuesday, sources say. But part of them will always be there in Louisiana. Unlike with K-Fed. They've left him for good, hopefully.
