Even Britney Spears wonders what she was thinking
If you're wondering what was going through Britney Spears' head during her erratic era, you are not alone--so does she. "I sit there and I look back and I'm like, 'I'm a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?'" Spears said in an interview to air on MTV on Nov. 30, two days before the release of her new album.
We wondered the same thing when we bothered think about you at all, Brit...
"I've been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there's a lot that people don't know."
I guess that's a fair. Though I might add that most of us didn't care to know it.
The 90-minute special, "Britney: For The Record," was executive-produced by Spears' manager Larry Rudolph. It features behind-the-scenes footage of the singer and her talking about her life over the past two years.
We saw the home movie of her talking with Whatsisname at their palatial estate in the trailer park. That was when I quit paying the minimal amount of attention I had been.
She's got a lot to talk about: In that time span, she has gotten divorced, been through a custody battle, gone to rehab, had very public meltdowns and had one memorably bad performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Not to mention lopping all her hair off. I actually liked that part. Kinda like performance art, only it made sense in a kind of pop tart way...
Now on the comeback trail, Spears is releasing her sixth album, "Circus," on Dec. 2, her 27th birthday.
I take it the album's autobiographical in nature?
Spears says she's hoping this TV special will "set the record straight" about her life.
I think the record's pretty much straight. The question in anybody's mind would be "has she ceased being a dishpit?"
