Are you seeing a trend?

Here's an industry article about the manager.
--------------
Britney Spears’ disastrous performance Sunday night at MTV’s Video Music Awards was bad for her — and worse for a lot of other people in Hollywood.

There will be a lot of finger-pointing Monday as Spears’ flabby, bloated, incoherent showing is dissected over and over.
But the real person to blame has to be Spears’ newish manager, Jeff Kwatinetz of The Firm.

Kwatinetz has already had a very bad year, nearly killing the career of original “American Idol” star Kelly Clarkson by letting her — or rather encouraging her — to buck the advice of Clive Davis and release a terrible album against his wishes.

What followed was a series of public embarrassments including the cancellation of Clarkson’s tour and her firing of Kwatinetz. The album, "My December," went on to sell a fraction of the number Clarkson had sold previously.
Now with Spears’ tanking live on international television, insiders will no doubt question Kwatinetz’s ability to manage anything.
