Britney Spears
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: McComb, Mississippi, United States, 02 December 2020
But the troubled singer’s piece to camera soon turned into a bizarre outburst, as she adopted a sarcastic "Valley Girl" accent to add: "I saw all these magazines, and they said I was pregnant, and like it’s so true. Like, America, believe everything you read because like you’re smart and I’m stupid. Like for real. C’mon y’all."
During the increasingly bizarre minute-and-a-half recording, in which Britney also rants that her management "totally know what they were doing because they sent me to rehab", Britney adds mockingly: "Like this lady told me, she said, ’Britney, go to the light. Go to the light and see Jesus, OK?’ And I was like, ’Ohmigod, I’m going to do it.’ And I did it. And it happened, and it’s just so weird because our world is so nice."
Let’s just hope she really is joking.
Brit and Kev’s very different weekends - April 10 2007
Britney opted to lay-low in LA, stepping out on Easter Sunday to attend a Lakers basketball game, followed by a bout of retail therapy at the Lisa Kline boutique, where she reportedly snapped up around 3,000 dollars worth of clothes and accessories for herself and her sons.
"She was in a great mood, ecstatic really," shop assistant Kate Levington told People magazine. "She was lots of fun to shop with. We had music on in the stores and she danced to the music and she ran around and picked out stuff for herself and her boys. You could tell she enjoyed herself."
K-Fed, meanwhile, chose to indulge in fun of a very different kind, with a boys weekend in Las Vegas.
Apparently still celebrating his undisclosed divorce settlement with Britney, which was hammered out just over a week ago, K-Fed left the kids at home to explore some of Vegas’s more adult spots.
After sunning himself at the Mirage’s private adult pool, Bare, on Friday afternoon, K-Fed dined at Nobu before partying at Jet, where he was showered with fake money by the club’s go-go dancers.
After hitting a second nightclub, Pure, where he took a turn in the DJ booth, K-Fed reportedly spent the rest of the night in strip club, Scores.
But, the would-be rapper was apparently intent on making it back to LA on Sunday morning to spend the rest of the day with his kids.
New romance for Britney? - April 6 2007
Britney Spears may be putting her dark days behind her with a new romance.
The recently rehabbed singer is rumoured to be involved with 26-year-old US singer-songwriter Howie Day, according to Life & Style magazine.
According to the mag, Brit "fell hard" for Howie during her four-week stay at the Promises rehab facility in Malibu and may even be planning to take him along to her cousin Erin’s June wedding as her date.
"Britney just lights up and seems back to her old self when she talks to Howie or tells people about him," the magazine quotes an insider as saying. "She thinks he’s very talented - and says he’s the best kisser ever!"
Howie’s publicist identified him as Britney’s tennis partner during their time in rehab - but apparently not everyone is thrilled about the alleged romance.
The singer’s mum Lynne is said to be concerned about his lifestyle and troubled history.
Howie has been arrested twice in the past three years and was sentenced to one year’s probation in April last 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.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. 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.
