This A&E BIOGRAPHY: BRITNEY SPEARS is about the pop star who, still
just in her mid-twenties, is one of the best-selling female recording
artists in history with over 70 million discs sold worldwide.
Britney Spears has been on the show biz fast track since she was
eight. Her early performing career exploded in 1998 with the release
of her debut single Hit Me Baby One More Time. In the next few years,
Britney sold boatloads of albums, displayed increasingly risqué
behavior, and became target number one for paparazzi. And after the
birth of two sons and a divorce from Kevin Federline, her
increasingly bizarre behavior have estranged her from family and
former business associates. Few stars have seemed to immolate their
careers so extensively as Britney has over the last several years ?
but only the foolish would say she is down for the count.
