Britney Spears
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: McComb, Mississippi, United States, 02 December 2020
Linda added: "The singer didn’t require star treatment. Her only requests were camomile tea and music. She plugged her iPod - which played Kelis and Ciara - into the studio’s speakers.
However, it wasn’t all straight forward. Linda also admitted that Britney, who shaved her hair off in February, displayed some odd behaviour.
"She was entirely un-self conscious. She took off her wig and then stripped down to the waist, for no apparent reason, before sitting for hair and makeup."
Britney accused of threatening snappers - Aug 1 2007
Two paparazzi photographers have accused Britney Spears of throwing a baby bottle and threatening them after they took pictures of her leaving a spa in the US.
The troubled pop star yelled "I am going to kill you! I am going to f***ing kill you!" at Andrew Deetz, a photographer who was allegedly beaten by her bodyguard, according to a statement released by the photographers’ lawyers.
The snappers, Deetz, 24, and Kyle Henderson, 23, said they were preparing to sue.
They were taking pictures of Britney as she and her children left the spa at the Wynn Las Vegas casino-hotel.
One of her bodyguards, Cesar Julio Camera, 37, allegedly pushed Henderson against the wall until Wynn security intervened and asked Henderson to leave, the statement said.
Camera then attacked Deetz from behind, threw him on the ground and punched and kicked him until security pulled him away, it claimed.
Afterwards, Britney ran towards Henderson but was stopped by security, and then threw a baby bottle at him, the statement continued.
Then, in front of several other hotel guests and bystanders, the statement alleges that the singer threatened to kill Deetz and said he should get a restraining order against her because she was going to kill him or hire someone that would.
Britney’s lawyer Gary Stiffelman declined to comment on the allegations.
Wynn Las Vegas released a statement confirming the newly-divorced Toxic singer stayed at the hotel, but also declined to discuss the matter.
Las Vegas police issued a summons for a charge of battery to Camera, the only person cited in the incident.
Britney’s divorce goes through - July 31 2007
Britney Spears’ marriage to Kevin Federline has officially ended after their divorce was finalised in a court hearing.
"They are divorced," lawyer Laura Wasser said of the troubled pop star and the aspiring rapper after the hearing in Los Angeles. "Everything is finalised."
A court commissioner signed orders for dissolution of marriage, an alimony agreement and child custody. The alimony agreement will not be made public unless there is an enforcement issue, Wasser said.
A decision on custody of the former couple’s two sons, 22-month-old Sean Preston Federline, and 10-month-old Jayden James Federline, is sealed until an August 14 hearing.
It was said "the best interests of the children could be harmed" if the arrangement was revealed.
Britney married backing dancer K-Fed in 2004, but filed for divorce in November 2006, citing "irreconcilable differences".
The couple had already reportedly signed a settlement agreement in March this year.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.

Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
