If there is a female pop singer that owned the late 90’s and almost the entire decade of 2000, you have to hand this era to Britney Spears. She was so dominant that Britney tied Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson at number three with 6 number 1 songs among female artist behind Barbara Streisand and Madonna in the Billboards. Her success in selling millions of albums did not translate well, though in her personal life, especially her love life which was rocked by two divorces. Much has been written about Britney Spears and let me try to share only the juicy bits about her life in case you missed this info about your favorite pop star of the decade of 2000 and late 90’s.
Britney Spears has a picture frame of her dream man in her living room. In a sit down interview with Diane Sawyer, Britney revealed that she had a great crush for Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck and Colin Ferrel, but only Brad Pitt has a picture frame that is solitary and tucked away in her living room.
Britney Spears is a good friend of Natalie Portman. Britney and Natalie met when they were still very young girls while working as an understudy for the role of Tina Denmark of the off-Broadway musical Ruthless! When Britney was asked if ever there is going to be a biopic about her, who is the actor whom she would like to see and play her character in the movie and she answered without any hint of hesitation that it is going to be Natalie Portman. So that perfectly explained the long history between the ladies.
Britney Spears has her own line of perfumes that is hugely popular. It is not uncommon for famous celebrities having their own line of perfumes to bank on their huge following and make extra cash and Britney Spears is no exception. Her perfumes are so big among fans that it accounts for the 34% sales among the perfumes sold by celebrities in the US market. Not bad! Britney will never go hungry even if she doesn’t make an album anymore.
Britney Spears started at the Mickey Mouse Club. Britney was 8 years old when she auditioned for a slot of the Mickey Mouse Club but her age was the reason she did get the role in her first try. However, the casting director referred her to Nancy Carson, a talent agent in New York. So the mother and daughter tandem travelled to New York. Nancy was impressed with Britney’s singing voice that she suggested that Britney get more training at the Professional Performing Arts School. Not for long, Britney got a job as an understudy in the Broadway play, Ruthless! In 1992, Britney was finally appeared as cast of the Mickey Mouse Club when Jessica Simpson, who auditioned before she got panic-stricken and could not answer the usual question during the interview. Britney got in but this did not last long as the show was dropped thereafter.
Britney Spears first marriage can be a Guinness entry for being the shortest. If there is such a category in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the distinction of being the shortest marriage among celebrities, in my opinion, Britney’s first marriage to her childhood friend Jason Alexander could be the shortest. The couple got married in Las Vegas and got divorced in a matter of 55 hours. Just hop over to cabletvinternet.s9.com for more fantastic entertainment.
