Britney Spears adds fuel to her cousin`s singing dream

London, May 14: Here`s some good work coming out of the troubled pop star Britney Spears, who fired her cousin Alli Sims from her assistant`s post so that the upcoming artiste could focus on her singing career.

Spears was particularly impressed with a song recorded by Alli as a teen, and made her promise that she would seriously get down to making her own music, reported Contacmusic. "I was sitting with her in the living room... and a song I`d done in high school popped up and she was like, `I love this song, who`s singing it?` I go, `I am actually.` She goes, `You`re still living with me? I`m getting another assistant to help me out and you`re pursuing this," said the budding singer. Sims is grateful to her `Toxic` singer cousin for having forced her to pursue her singing dream, and cleared all rumours that the two sisters had a fallout. "We didn`t have a falling out at all or anything. I just kind of stepped back. She had a lot of stuff going on that she needed to focus on, so I took that time to put all my energy into my music," Sims was quoting telling to a US news show. Earlier reports stated that Sims was fired from Spears` assistant`s post as her father Jamie had taken up the pop star`s affairs into his hands. Sims, who has recently come up with her new single `Driving Blind`, is looking forward to sitting down with Spear`s again and catching up like old times. "I definitely think I`ll talk to her soon. It`s not like we`re never going to talk again. I love her to death and I miss her and I hope she`s happy." Bureau Report
