Britney first debuted on the scene in 1999 as an innocent girl destined to become a pop idol, with phenomenal opportunity. She was in the spotlight, living the "American Dream"; her albums were top-sellers in which she was awarded Billboard music awards and was dating Justin Timberlake; everything seemed to be going in the right direction. Unfortunately her decisions or lack there of have led her driving down the wrong road turned upside down without a seatbelt.
After her split with Timberlake, Britney’s life spiraled out of control. Her albums weren’t selling; she had two failed marriages, and a career that was blowing out like a candle in the wind. She was out of control, she had a mental breakdown in which she mangled her hair, to top it all off, she was facing allegations of child neglect & endangerment in which Federline was seeking custody of their two small boys.
We all know the situation didn’t turn out in Britney’s favor, so what went wrong? Was it the media that drove her into a frenzy or her own self torment? What was the root of her party mania; literally baring herself to the world causing her involuntary commitment into psychiatric care?? We may never know. Obviously Britney realized her tabloid drama and released the video "Piece of Me", known for its controversial but true statements. Maybe this was the moment she realized she had enough.
Despite her bad reputation in the public eye, Britney claims to be making a comeback. She shot the cover for Rolling Stone and is set to release a new album entitled “Circus” (pun intended?) in December. Spears will also introduce a documentary prior to the release of her album. I’m not a huge fan; however I am interested to see where the tabloids are going to take her this time…Stand up for yourself girl!

That is a good post. She is definitely in the spotlight and most of the time, its not for a good reason. Hopefully she'll get her act together. I'm not a huge fan of hers either but I hate seeing someone go through all the crap with the paparazzi.
Your right. Britney has been under the heat lamp instead of the spotlight for most of her career and she did alot of loopy things like i dont even understand to this day why Kevin Federline but thats life. Maybe she grew up and stopped taking the kicks in the rear. I cant wait to see how shes does this time around. Great post.
