Pop superstar Britney Spears is facing legal action after reportedly firing her long-term manager Larry Rudolph last Friday. Spears was last week said to be "miffed" at Rudolph for forcing her to seek professional help for her troubles, which resulted in Spears checking into a rehabilitation clinic in California in February.

The 25-year-old was also seen mocking her manager's decision to send her to rehab in a bizarre video rant, which was posted on the internet at the weekend.

But now Spears could end up in court for reneging on the deal she had previously signed with Rudolph, according to PageSix.

The pop star's PR aide Leslie Sloane Zelnik was unaware of Rudolph's status when contacted early this morning.
