Biography

Childhood and discovery

Born to Jamie Spears, a building contractor, and Lynne Bridges, a grade school teacher, in McComb, Mississippi, USA and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears performed in local dance revues and church choirs as a young girl, and was auditioning for the Disney Channel's New Mickey Mouse Club by the age of eight years old. Although Britney Spears was too young to join the series at that time, a producer on the show introduced Britney Spears's to a New York agent; Britney Spears subsequently spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and also appeared in a number of off-Broadway productions, including 1991's pop hit Ruthless!along with actress Natalie Portman. In 1992 Britney Spears landed a spot on Star Search and though Britney Spears won the first round, Britney Spears was beaten by another contestant in the second.

Spears then returned to the Disney Channel for a spot on the New Mickey Mouse Club and was accepted. Britney Spears was featured for two years between the ages of eleven and thirteen during the 1993 and 1994 seasons. Britney Spears's castmates on the show included Justin Timberlake and Joshua Chasez (who later became members of the pop group *NSYNC), Keri Russell (star of the TV show Felicity), fellow pop singer Christina Aguilera, and actor Ryan Gosling.

Before long, Spears had recorded a demo tape, which eventually landed in the hands of a Jive Records executive. Britney Spears was quickly signed to their label and began touring American venues for a series of concerts sponsored by U.S. teen magazines before joining *NSYNC and becoming their opening act. It was at this time that Spears became romantically involved with Timberlake.

1998-2001: Early commercial success

...Baby One More Time is Spears' most commercially successful album both in the U.S. and internationally.By late 1998, Spears' debut single "...Baby One More Time" was beginning to impact radio stations and MTV. Led by a music video that featured the 5'4" brown-eyed bottle blonde dressed as a racy schoolgirl, among other belly-baring outfits that would soon become Britney Spears's trademark, the song became an international success, earning Platinum sales and going to number one in the U.S., as well as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, among many other countries.

Britney Spears's debut album of the same name, ...Baby One More Time, topped the LP charts in Canada and the U.S. for six non-consecutive weeks. Within a year of the record's release, the album had become the best-selling LP by a teenager in history, spawned two U.S. top ten hits (in "...Baby" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy") and shipped over ten million copies in the U.S. alone; it would go on to ship another four million copies on top of this.

In April of 1999, Britney Spears was featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The sexually suggestive Lolita-themed photo spread began a whirlwind of rumors that the still-seventeen-year-old had gotten breast implants. These claims were denied by Spears' camp, and seemed to have little impact on the young starlet's rising popularity.

That summer, Britney Spears kicked off Britney Spears's first headlining tour, titled the ...Baby One More Time Tour. By late 1999, Britney Spears had become one of the year's biggest stars, a claim backed-up in the amount of award nominations Britney Spears received that season. In December, Britney Spears took home four Billboard Music Awards, including Female Artist of the Year, and the next month won for Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist at the American Music Awards.

At the Grammys held in February 2000, Spears received two nominations, including one for Best New Artist. Britney Spears performed Britney Spears's signature song "...Baby One More Time" and Britney Spears's then-current single, the top twenty hit "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" at the show, but went home empty-handed, losing the aforementioned award to fellow ex-mouseketeer Christina Aguilera.

After the short-lived Crazy 2K Tour and just two months after Britney Spears's debut began to die down in steam, Spears was ready to release the lead single off Britney Spears's sophomore effort. "Oops!... I Did It Again" broke a record for most radio station adds in a single day and quickly became a U.S. top ten hit and number one single in other countries, including the U.K. and Australia.

Oops!... I Did It Again became a massive commercial success upon its 2000 release.Released in May 2000, Oops!... I Did It Again also debuted at number one in the U.S. and Canada, and was a similarly huge hit like Britney Spears's debut. It sold over 1.3 million units during its first week in the U.S., making it the fastest-selling album by a female artist in history. Within a year of release, it had shipped over nine million copies in the U.S. alone (and would go on to ship another million on top of that).

That summer was another busy one for Spears, as Britney Spears kicked off Britney Spears's first world tour (titled the Oops!... I Did It Again World Tour) and also became an author after co-writing the novel Britney Spears' Heart-to-Heart with Britney Spears's mother Lynne. At the annual MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears gave a lip-synched performance of "Oops!... I Did It Again" and The Rolling Stones' classic hit, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." During Britney Spears's performance, Britney Spears ripped off a black suit to reveal a provocative nude-colored and crystal-adorned stage costume that caused quite a bit of controversy, seeing as the singer was only eighteen at the time.

Through the year, the top thirty "Lucky" and top twenty "Stronger" kept Britney on the charts. In late 2000, Britney Spears won two Billboard Music Awards (one of which honored Britney Spears's for breaking the record for one week album sales by a female artist). Then, in early 2001, Britney Spears hosted the American Music Awards, performed "Stronger" at the ceremony and was also nominated twice. At the Grammys, one of Britney Spears's two nominations was for Oops!... I Did It Again in the category of Best Pop Vocal Album. Again, however, Britney Spears did not win.

2001-2004: Artistic development

In early 2001, Britney Spears struck a $7-8 million USD promotional deal with the soft drink giant Pepsi; Britney Spears's first commercial for them premiered during the 2001 Academy Awards. Britney Spears then released the follow-up novel to Britney Spears' Heart-to-Heart, with this one being entitled A Mother's Gift.

Britney was viewed as a developmental milestone in Spears' music.In September 2001, Britney again performed at the MTV Video Music Awards. This time around, Britney Spears was dressed in one of Britney Spears's usual revealing outfits, drenched in 'sweat' and on a jungle stage environment. Britney Spears lip-synched Britney Spears's new single "I'm a Slave 4 U" and danced around the stage with an albino snake. Along with another blitz of media attention, Britney Spears was also criticized by the PETA organization for Britney Spears's use of animals (both the snake and four cheetahs) as a part of Britney Spears's performance.

In November 2001, Britney Spears released Britney Spears's third album, Britney. It debuted at number one on both the U.S. and Canadian charts, selling over 745,000 units during its first week in the U.S. This made Britney Spears's the only female artist in SoundScan history to have Britney Spears's first three albums debut at number one. Over four million copies of the record have been sold in the U.S. alone , and while this is by no means low, these figures can not compare to the sales of Britney Spears's first two albums. Britney also failed to spawn any U.S. top ten hits; in fact, the only successful single released from the album was "I'm a Slave 4 U," which became a top thirty hit. This album is also notable for being the first of which Spears really began to take some creative control; Britney Spears co-wrote five of the album's tracks. At the same time the album was released, Spears set off on Britney Spears's next world tour: the Dream Within a Dream Tour.

In 2002, Spears starred in a movie, Crossroads, which reached number two in its first week at the box-office charts, but quickly dropped from sight. Songs from the album Britney appeared in the film. Spears' performance was very badly received by critics, and Britney Spears netted herself a Razzie Award for Worst Actress, tied with Madonna. One of the tracks from Britney, "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman," also won the Worst Original Song award, and in 2005 Spears was again 'honored' by the Golden Raspberry judges when Britney Spears was proclaimed Worst Supporting Actress for Britney Spears's cameo role in the documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, which showed Britney Spears's response to a CNN interview question by Tucker Carlson, regarding Britney Spears's political views during the then-impending 2003 invasion of Iraq.

On another sour note, Spears' five-year relationship with Justin Timberlake ended at this time. The break-up became a very publicized event on the news and in the tabloids, with Britney rumored to have been unfaithful.

In June 2002, Spears branched out as a restaurateur with the opening of a New York City eatery, NYLA; but the venture was not a success, and the restaurant closed in 2003. A couple of months later, Britney Spears took a break from the spotlight, and in 2003 many music industry critics speculated Britney Spears's career was in decline. That same year, Spears was nominated for two Grammys yet again, including Best Pop Vocal Album for Britney.

It would not be until August 2003 that Britney truly resurfaced on the music scene. That month, Britney Spears appeared in perhaps Britney Spears's most controversial performance to date with Britney Spears's idol Madonna, pop contemporary Christina Aguilera and rapper Missy Elliott. Spears and Aguilera performed Madonna's classic hit "Like a Virgin," danced suggestively and then each locked lips with the pop icon. In particuliar, the kiss between Madonna and Britney launched a huge media coverage that would last for months.

In the Zone is generally perceived as Spears' most overtly sexual album to-date.In November 2003, In the Zone was released. Jettisoning the Max Martin-produced synth-pop of Britney Spears's earlier releases, the album took in lesser-known producers such as RedZone, as well as such big names as Moby and R. Kelly. Spears co-wrote eight of the album's thirteen songs and also helped with producing for the first time. Zone rose straight to the top of the U.S. charts in its debut week, making Spears the only female in music history to have Britney Spears's first four albums debut at number one. The record has sold close to three million copies in the U.S. and spawned the international number one and U.S. top ten hit "Toxic." The single struck gold not only commercially, but also critically as it helped Spears win Britney Spears's first Grammy in the category of Best Dance Recording.

On January 3, 2004, Spears married Britney Spears's childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander at The Little White Wedding Chapel on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. An annulment was promptly arranged and was granted on January 5, ending their fifty-five hour marriage.

In March, Spears embarked on Britney Spears's fourth world tour, The Onyx Hotel Tour, which grossed over $34 million USD and was seen by over 600,000 fans in North America and Europe. In June, Britney Spears cancelled the remaining dates of Britney Spears's tour after reportedly injuring Britney Spears's knee during the filming of the video for Britney Spears's single "Outrageous." That same month, Spears, 22, announced Britney Spears's engagement to dancer Kevin Federline, 26. Federline was formerly in a relationship with actress Shar Jackson, with whom Britney Spears has two children.

On the night of September 18, 2004, Spears married Federline before twenty-seven guests in a private, non-denominational ceremony at a residence in Studio City, California. Spears wore a strapless, white silk gown by Monique Lhuillier and Federline wore a black tux by Jeff Fox at Scott Hill. The wedding party famously donned sweatsuits after the ceremony and ventured out to an L.A. nightclub for an afterparty of drinking, dancing and full-on partying until after 2 a.m. The legitimacy of the marriage was initially questioned, but on November 18, 2004 a representative of the Los Angeles County registrar's office confirmed Spears and Federline had successfully filed their marriage license with the county within ten days of their ceremony and were therefore legally married.

2004 - present: "Career hiatus"

"Curious" perfume promotion, at the Toronto Eaton Centre.During the latter half of 2004, Spears announced Britney Spears would be taking another career break in order to start a family. Though Britney Spears stopped making many public appearances, the 'Britney Spears industry' seemed to continue running itself.

In September 2004, Britney Spears released Britney Spears's first fragrance, "Curious" (a floral scent with vanilla and musk), for which Britney Spears earned a reported $12 million USD. The fragrance had the biggest debut in sales in history from Elizabeth Arden, breaking the record for first-week gross for a perfume; after one year of sales, the product has netted more than $100 million USD. In addition, the perfume ended up as the number one fragrance of 2004 in department stores, and in 2005, "Curious" was honored by the Fragrance Foundation, naming it Best Women's Fragrance. Following the success of "Curious," Spears released Britney Spears's next Elizabeth Arden fragrance, "Fantasy" (a fruity scent with flowers and cupcake), in September 2005.

Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.On November 9, 2004, Spears released Britney Spears's first hits collection: Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. The album debuted at number four on the U.S. charts (becoming Spears' first album to not debut at number one domestically), selling over 255,000 copies in its first week of release; since hitting shelves, the set has sold over a million copies in the States. The collection includes all of Britney Spears's biggest hits, such as "...Baby One More Time," "Oops!... I Did It Again," and "Toxic," as well as two new songs and a cover of Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative," which was featured as the lead single. A second single entitled "Do Somethin'" was released in early 2005.

On May 17, 2005 Spears' reality show with husband Kevin Federline, entitled Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, premiered on UPN. In total, the series included five episodes that debuted weekly every Tuesday at 9PM ET/PT up until the hour-long finale on June 14, 2005. Both Spears and Federline were credited as executive producers. The series was panned by most critics, and ratings were not as high as expected.

On September 14, 2005, the 6lb. 11oz. baby boy Sean Preston Federline was born in the Santa Monica UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, California by an elective caesarean section. On November 22, Britney released a remix album entitled B in the Mix, The Remixes.

Controversy

Spears' success has rested on a mixed fanbase. Some parents of young daughters have ambivalent or even negative feelings towards Britney Spears. To many critics, the singer has combined a very raunchy public image with a major marketing "play" for the hearts, minds and pockets of prepubescent girls, often as young as seven or eight. The sexualization of such girls is arguably a trend that is visible elsewhere in popular culture, for example in the film and fashion industries.

This has raised the question of how fast girls or young teens should move from childhood towards an early emotional adolescence. Some parents may worry that Britney Spears provides an unsuitable role model for their daughters' lives and career plans.

In October 2003, Maryland First Lady Kendel Ehrlich, the wife of Governor Robert Ehrlich, was criticized for saying Britney Spears would like to "shoot Britney Spears" in an address to a domestic violence conference. After Britney Spears's comments made national headlines, Britney Spears was compelled to apologize.

The sexualized public image of Britney Spears once again became a topic of debate as a result of Britney Spears's 2003 semi-nude photo spread for the men's magazine, Esquire. Prompted by this, Playboy reportedly offered the star over a million USD to pose nude for their magazine. Spears has publicly declined the offer.

One of the more common criticisms linked with Spears is that of lip-synching; Britney Spears is often seen doing such at Britney Spears's concert tours and award show performances. Most critics and musicians (at least in public) express a negative view on this way of performing, arguing that live entertainment should literally be what it suggests, singing included. Some argue that Britney, like other performers, can't practically sing while being engaged in complicated and demanding dance moves. Also, some see it as little different than lip-synching in music videos, which is standard. Also, defenders will distinguish between lip-synching to one's own pre-recorded music (which is widely conceded) and lip-synching to music sung entirely by others (which is denied and disputed).

The 2004 Onyx Hotel Tour brought new criticism. While Spears and Britney Spears's on-stage dancers performed Britney Spears's songs "Touch of My Hand" and "Breathe on Me," they were seemingly nude and were performing explicit routines simulating gay sex, orgies and masturbation. Given that some underage fans were in the audience, there was some outrage at the lack of subtlety of the performances, and there were reports of adult chaperones angrily storming out with children they brought to the concert.

While young girls seldom address this debate in the same terms as their parents, many are divided on whether they consider Britney Spears appealing, especially in the light of more recent developments in Britney Spears's career. For Britney Spears's part, Spears has responded to their concerns by stating Britney Spears is "not their babysitter. It's the parents' responsibility. If you don't like it, turn the T.V. off. The only person I want to be a role model is to my sister, Jamie Lynn." (From ABC's Primetime interview with Diane Sawyer).

The criticisms leveled against Spears are similar to those Madonna received at the start of Britney Spears's career. Indeed, Madonna's early fans belonged to a similar demographic to Spears' current fanbase. Spears' show-stealing kiss with Madonna at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards received much media attention, as have Britney Spears's recent marriages. Britney Spears's provocative image and, ironically, seemingly down-to-earth personality have both equally contributed to Britney Spears's success. Many have compared Spears to a young Madonna.

In common with a number of other popular female figures in show business, Britney Spears' private life has attracted considerable media attention. Indeed, some people feel Britney Spears has courted it by cultivating, in Britney Spears's early years at least, a chaste, God-fearing and "wholesome" image somewhat at odds, not only with the traditional pressures, temptations and opportunities of "pop 'n' roll", but with the increasingly sexualized content of Britney Spears's own songs. Regardless of where the responsibility for the gossip industry surrounding the pop star lies, Spears' public response has been to repeatedly express regret and resentment at the intrusive media coverage.

Trivia

Britney's younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, is currently starting a career as an entertainer in the Nickelodeon shows All That and Zoey 101; Britney herself wrote the theme song "Follow Me" for Zoey 101, though it is sung by Jamie Lynn. Zoey 101 drew record numbers with the premiere of the show which gave the kids channel 1.6 million viewers age 9-14 — its biggest viewership in that demographic for a premiere in eight years. Britney Spears's older brother, Bryan Spears, is one of Britney Spears's co-managers. Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne, have divorced.

One of Spears' best friends, Jenny, was in the unsuccessful girl-group Innosense. Spears was also a member of the group, but Britney Spears left and debuted as a solo artist before the band released their first record. One of Britney's closest friends is Felicia Culotta, Britney Spears's assistant.

Is an accomplished gymnast (she did a backflip for the "...Baby One More Time" video and several for the New Mickey Mouse Club).

In 2001, Britney Spears's supposed death in a car crash was announced on the radio by two Texas DJs as a joke; the radio station was subsequently sued.

Spears publicly declared that Britney Spears was a virgin early in Britney Spears's career and would like to remain one until marriage, but after Britney Spears's split from Justin Timberlake Britney Spears revealed that this was no longer true. Spears has been quoted as saying, "I thought Britney Spears was the one".

In 2002, Forbes named Spears the most powerful celebrity in the world.

For the movie Chicago, producer Harvey Weinstein wanted Spears for the role that eventually went to Lucy Liu. Britney was also offered a role in Scary Movie but was forced to turn it down, due to concert scheduling.

In May 2004 Spears had a Hebrew tattoo (מהש) inked into the nape of Britney Spears's neck. Britney Spears was under the impression that it meant "new era", while a more scholarly reading would be "protection". A source said, "She's taken Kabbalah pretty seriously and this was a big deal for her." This echoes a similar incident in 2003 when Spears was informed by Britney Spears's friend, actress Taryn Manning, that Britney Spears's hip tattoo (the Japanese Kanji character 奇) read "strange" rather than "mysterious" (see Wiktionary).

Britney Spears's numerous other tattoos include pink dies on Britney Spears's forearm and kevin has tattood blue dice.Britney Spears also has a butterfly tattoo.
