Britney Spears' assistant and "cousin" Alli Sims wants to launch a music career. Peoplereports that bloggers have been watching Alli's website at www.alllisims.com for any announcements. Recently a cover of "On My Own" from Les Miserables was added to the website. People also asked Alli about Britney's odd behavior.
And, the newly launched singer tells PEOPLE, she already has a staunch supporter in Spears.
Shrugging off rumors that Britney resented her decision to pursue her lifelong dream, Sims, 26, says: "She heard my songs on the laptop and was like, 'I love this song! This is you singing?' She has always been supportive."
As for Spears's parenting skills, which have come under fire recently, Sims tells PEOPLE in its new issue, "She's a wonderful mom and she is so hands-on. ... Britney loves those babies to death. And they adore her."
When it comes to her former employer, Sims adds, "I love her, she's beautiful inside and out. We're still great friends."
And when it comes to her music, the Southerner says she's after a "soulful" sound, and the single on her Web site is "more of a filler song until I get my new stuff recorded. Honestly, we put that one up there because all the other ones I had put down in the past had a little more of a country vibe, and I do not want to go there at all."
It sounds like country is out for Alli. It might be easier for Alli to break in if Britney Spears is able to hold it together long enough to help promote Alli's music. The way Britney has been acting lately makes it unclear if that is even possible.
