Britney Spears: Doing "Good"

That's about it for this story. But read on if you wish to know the deets of Britney Spears' girls' night out - with her dad - on Friday night.

Spears, who J.R. Rotem recently reported is doing "great," told celebrity gossip reporters that she's doing "good" while hitting up designer Christian Audigier's 50th birthday party at L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum.

Spears, 26, hung with girlfriends in a roped-off VIP area. Fergie, Snoop Dogg, Pamela Anderson and even Michael Jackson also made appearances.

Britney Spears: Hanging in there, having some fun.

Papa Jamie Spears, Brit's protector, joined his daughter, sitting on a couch about five feet away with his head resting on his hands.

Britney Spears stayed about an hour and a half, smoking cigarettes on a patio and nodding her head to a live performance from Macy Gray.

She did not drink alcohol.

When she left for the evening, her father joined her.

"I am friends with Britney," Audigier said before the party. "She was at my office, I believe, three weeks ago. She got some presents for Jamie Lynn Spears and for herself too. She got T-shirts and caps. She loved it."

Spears left the party before Michael Jackson, clad in a shiny blue shirt, emerged, coming on stage to wish Audigier happy birthday.

Jamie Spears' full-time job is now working for his daughter as conservator of her estate, court papers have revealed.

The pop star returned to California from a lovely Costa Rican vacation at Mel Gibson's house earlier this week.
