Britney Spears Hairstyles





    Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American recording artist and entertainer. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears began performing as a child, landing acting roles in stage productions and television shows. She signed with Jive Records in 1997 and released her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999. During her first decade within the music industry, she became a prominent figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while title tracks "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" became international number-one hits. Spears was credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s.

    In 2001, she released her third studio album Britney and expanded her brand, playing the starring role in the film Crossroads. She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone (2003), which yielded chart-topping singles "Me Against the Music", "Toxic" and "Everytime". After the release of two compilation albums, Spears experienced personal struggles and her career went under hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released in 2007 and despite receiving little promotion, it spawned hits "Gimme More" and "Piece of Me". In 2008, her erratic behavior and hospitalizations caused her to be placed in a conservatorship. The same year, her sixth studio album Circus was released, with the global chart-topping lead single "Womanizer". She embarked on her highest-grossing global concert tour, The Circus Starring Britney Spears, in 2009. Her seventh studio album Femme Fatale, released in 2011, has become the first of her albums to yield three top ten singles in the United States.

    Spears has sold over 100 million records worldwide. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the eighth top-selling female artist in the United States, with 33 million certified albums. Spears is also recognized as the best-selling female artist of the first decade of the 21st century, as well as the fifth overall.[4] She was ranked the 8th Artist of the 2000s by Billboard. In June 2010, Spears was ranked sixth on Forbes list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world; she is also the third most mentioned musician on the internet, according to Forbes.

Britney Spears

    Pop star Britney Spears has landed in hot water for promoting gun violence in her latest video clip for song `Criminal'.

    The latest video was partly filmed in East London and during the Bonnie and Clyde-themed shoot, Spears was photographed running out of a convenience store in Hackney waving a fake pistol.

    Local politicians have now criticised the singer for glamourising gun violence and demanded an apology.

    Britney Spears premiered her video for ‘I Wanna Go’ late last night, and the results are quite different from her previous ‘Femme Fatale’ videos for ‘Hold It Against Me’ and ‘Till the World Ends.’ In ‘I Wanna Go,’ Brit ditches the dancers and intensity to create a funny clip co-starring ‘Half Baked’ actor Guillermo Diaz.

    Shame on me / to need release,” Spears sings in the ‘I Wanna Go’ bridge, and she lets loose big time in this hilarious video. In the beginning, Ms. Brit attends a press conference — looking sexy in a cropped T-shirt, leather jacket, skin-tight jeans and studded black high heels — where reporters ask her a series of ridiculous questions before she flips out ‘Half Baked’ style.

    After being asked if it was true that she really hated puppies, Brit unleashes a series of “Eff you’s” at reporters, a la Scarface in the 1998 stoner comedy. Guillermo Diaz, who originated the amazing fast food freakout, even makes several cameos in the video, pouring milk all over himself in one scene, making us laugh and scratch our heads all at the same time.

    In addition to this, Brit also mocks her 2002 failed dramatic flick ‘Crossroads’ with a movie theater sign reading ‘Crossroads 2: Cross Harder.’ She also gropes a fan, flashes her goods, hooks up with a cop, and beats the living crap out of the paparazzi before realizing they are ‘Terminator’-esque robots. At the end of the video, Brit pays tribute to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller,’ as Diaz, unbeknownst to Brit, exposes his true identity when he turns around and flashes his red eyes for the viewers.

    We are digging this new side of Spears! It’s so great to see her truly having fun again. Not to mention that her abs look absolutely incredible! Keep it up, Brit!
