As RadarOnline.com reported, Spears' collaboration with Iggy Azalea "Pretty Girls" was dropped early this week and she has been doing press, like an appearance with Ellen DeGeneres. "This weekend is also Mother's Day," the source points out.
Whatever her reasoning, the show insider says, "Everyone is hoping that this little break will give her what she needs to snap back and carry the show again." A rep for Spears denied the claims.
