Britney Spears has been hiding since releasing her bombshell memoir, “The Woman in Me,” last month, but she’s out in public again and appears cheerful.

The pop diva and author dined at the Chateau Marmont with her manager, Cade Hudson, in West Hollywood on Saturday afternoon, November 18. Her dog accompanied her and even jumped with Britney in the driver’s seat as they left.

Brit was beaming, flashing a broad smile as paparazzi swarmed the singer. She walked confidently in a bright orange dress, boots, and shades.

Spears may be smiling from ear to ear due to the success of her memoir. She has already sold 1.1 million copies of the book in the first week.

Do you think Britney should return to music? Why or why not?
