Britney Spears: Oops! I Made A Mess
With lyrics that go “Don’t matter if I step on the scene/Or sneak away to the Philippines/They’re still gon’ put pictures of my derrire in the magazine/I’m Miss Bad Media Karma/I’m Mrs. ‘Oh my God that Britney’s Shameless,’” Miss Spears laments in the song “Piece of Me.” Clearly it’s a diatribe against the paparazzi.Before her downward spiral, Britney was a precocious thing. She is the first female artist to have her first four albums debut at #1 in the US. Even then, Britney was controversial in her own right. In a portent of things to come, the then teenager skimpily dressed for a Rolling Stone cover. Before her third album was released, Spears was already going in a kinkier direction in her music videos. On September 2003, she shocked America with her infamous kiss with Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards. Camera hawks first doted on Spears when she was dating Justin Timberlake. After the romance fizzled, she told the world Timberlake deflowered her. Factoring everything else in at that point, the tabloids got it limpidly clear: this was a girl who would be a true magazine-seller. On January 3, 2004, Spears married her childhood pal Jason Alexander. She promptly divorced him on January 5. A few months later, Spears was snapped by the paparazzi with Kevin Federline. From being her backup dancer, Kevin went on to become her husband in September 2004. This marriage was not to flourish however. In November 2006, Federline and Spears parted ways. Throughout 2007, bad press orbited around Britney, who shaved her locks off in February. This was a time when she formed unhealthy relationships, including a triumvirate with “bad girls” Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Britney even became as frequent a patron of rehabs as clubs. To date, there is still a vicious gossip that Britney suffers from bipolar disorder.
