Although she's no longer on the payroll, Britney Spears' former publicist is still on the singer's side. Lizzie Grubman, who was a tabloid staple herself for a while, tells Us magazine, "There is still a real girl in there, but she's shutting people out and doesn't want to trust anybody. It's all very tragic and sad.Never in a million years would I have believed it would go this way. When I first started working with her she was this humble, sweet little girl."
