| Unless you're living under a rock, you know that Britney Spears is one of the most popular female artists on the planet, with worldwide sales topping the 20 million mark. While her biggest hit continues to be her first, "...Baby One More Time," Britney's music still invades the airwaves and MTV, and her face is constantly in the tabloids. |

| Britney Spears. What can we say about the former good girl who teased us with her blonde hair, erotic dance moves and sexual innuendos? And then became a single mother with tattoos and a shaved head? No matter what she has up her sleeve -- or miniskirt -- the world just can't get enough of her. |

Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981, in Kentwood, Louisiana. She always knew she wanted to pursue a musical career, so she took her talents to her local church, where she sang with the choir. She even sang on national television as a Star Search contestant.
At the age of 8, Britney auditioned for the popular children's variety show The New Mickey Mouse Club, but she was refused because of her young age. Luckily for Britney, one of the show's producers saw the young singer's talent and helped her find an agent in New York City.
Britney spent the next three summers in New York, where she studied at the famous Off Broadway Dance Center and at the Professional Performing Arts School. She also appeared in commercials and off-Broadway shows, one of which showcased Britney as an innocent 10-year-old with a "bad girl" edge.
At the age of 11, three years after her first Mickey Mouse Club rejection, Britney finally landed a spot as a "Mouseketeer." Joining a cast of talented teens, Britney showed off her acting, dancing and singing talents on the show that also spawned the careers of fellow celebrities Keri Russell, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake.
After two years of living in Orlando while doing the show, Britney moved back home to Kentwood and returned to high school. Her one year as a 14-year-old high-school student would be the last bit of normalcy in her life. With dreams of pursuing a career as a singer and a desire to leave her small hometown, Britney set off to New York City.
Britney signed with Jive Records after impressing an executive with her demo tape. With the help of Eric Foster White, a producer who had previously worked with artists such as Boyzone and Whitney Houston, Britney's debut album was released on January 12, 1999. |
