Last night’s grand finale of MTV’s reality competition Rock the Cradle brought many surprises and one of them was Britney Spears. No, she didn’t sing but she was in the audience.

Britney’s old manager and maybe new manager, Larry Rudolph, is an executive producer on the show. He mentioned to Britney earlier in the day that the finale would be later that evening so the pop star decided to surprise him and stopped by to say hi.

Earlier in the day Britney enjoyed a visit with her young sons. Rudolph was reportedly thrilled that she came to support him and remarked that she was there not seeking publicity but was genuinely interested in lending her support to his show. She was with her security detail and spent most of her time behind the stage, and out of the limelight.

The shows top three finalists were Jess Blaze Snider (Dee Snider’s son), Chloe Lattanzi (Olivia Newton-John’s daughter) and Crosby Loggins (Kenny Loggin’s son.)

If you did not watch the show and plan to watch it later STOP READING NOW!

Crosby Loggins took top honors and second place went to Jess Blaze Snider (interesting middle name), which leaves Chloe in the clean up spot.

Loggins landed the $100,000 recording contract. It looks like all those keyboard lessons from the age of seven paid off.
