Contradiction happens anywhere. A person could say one thing, but act the opposite of it. A clearer illustration would be showbiz personalities. For a moment, you could be America's sweetheart and the next day, you could be the worst person around. Britney Spears is one of those characters. She used to be one of show biz's wonder child but not she is being dissed by almost all sectors in society. She is a pop icon turned laughing stock of the industry.
Britney Jean Spears was born in Mississippi on 2 December 1981 but was raised in Lousiana to a devoted Baptist family. They lived a pretty simple middle class life. Her dad was a building contractor and her mom is a school teacher. She has two sibling, a boy and a girl. As a young girl, Britney was fairly active in school with gymnastics.
The talent didn't stop at being a gymnast. Soon she discovered that she has the aptitude in dancing and in acting. Acting in school plays began as a routine for her. But in the process she also improved herself. Thinking that she was ready to make it big time, she auditioned for Disney Channel's The New Mickey Mouse Club, but she was too young back then.
As it turned out, her luck is not in acting. Rather it is in singing where she finally would hit the gold. In 1998, she released her solo album entitled "Hit Me Baby One More Time." The album gained instant popularity. It was greatly received throughout the world. Another hit followed with the release of Oops! I Did It Again album, and many more to follow. Britney's image used to be a sweet teenage kid. It was only upon the release of the Greatest Hits: My Prerogative that her image began to change. A more open minded and daring Britney graced the music industry.
Like many other entertainers, success in the entertainment industry does not necessarily translate into success at the personal side of things. Britney used to date Justin Timberlake. When the two broke up, it was rumored that Britney was the unfaithful one in their relationship.After the Justin episode, she married a childhood friend in Jason Allen Alexander for only about 55 hours in a drive-in ceremony in Las Vegas.
A monumental event happened in Britney's life. This was when she tied the knot with a former back up dancer in Kevin Federline. Together, the couple have two little boys. Britney thought it was the real thing going on between the two of them. Little did she know, Federline was only using her. In fact, she financed the launch of Kevin's failed music career. She was K-Fed's milking pot. After almost three years of marriage, the two decided to have a divorce, which this writer thinks is truly good for Britney.
Many critics say that it was K-Fed who destroyed the budding career of Britney. She became a common fixture in Hollywood night clubs, partying all night with the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, and Lindsey Lohan to mention a few. This was just the beginning. Soon she got herself in and out of rehab.
Suddenly, everything looked like a distant past already. Britney isn't the prototypical sweet girl she once was. In fact, she already has haters. Many people say its all over for her. But hope still exists, especially with the recent MTV's VMA Awards where she'll perform before launching her newest album.
The question that remains to be seen is will she still be accepted by the people who once loved her and dissed her after sometime? There's no definite answer for that. Hopefully she could rise up from where she is standing at the moment.
