Now Simon Cowell has had a change of heart, vowing to help the troubled star regain her former glory.

Making public his offer to manage the mother-of-two along with his fellow American Idol judges, Cowell said: "We have decided we can bring Britney back."

"We are serious. We plan to buy her underpants, get her bigger shorts to perform in and get her away from her stupid friends."

"MTV ratings are up and all we're hearing is Britney, Britney, Britney! She can turn it around."

American Idol judge Randy Jackson chimed in, adding: "We'd love to take care of you, Spears! We will make you a superstar again!"

Spears left fans and critics aghast after a now notorious appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, where she mimed her way through the performance and struggled to dance in time.

Her new single Gimme More arrived on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at a No. 85.

Despite the disastrous appearance, the track is still expected to climb into the top 20 after its digital release in early October.
