Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981 at Kentwood, Louisiana to the couple of Jamie Spears (building contractor) and Lynne Spears (a second grade teacher). She also has a sister Jamie Lynn and a brother Bryan. She got her education from NYC's Professional Performing Arts School, Broadway Dance Center and Mickey Mouse Club. When Britney Spears was four years old she made her first solo performance by singing the song 'What Child Is This?' to her church assembly. At the age of eight, her stage skills matured enough so she tried out for Disney’s The Mickey Mouse Club. At that time one of the producers lined up an agent for the youngster as she was too young for the show. To fulfill her dreams she and her family moved from Kentwood, Louisiana to opportunity filled New York. There Spears was very much engaged in intensive dance classes and at the Professional Performing Arts School. When she was 10 years old, Spears was not considered for the lead in an off-Broadway production of 'Ruthless'. The following year she tried out again for MMC and this time she was selected.
In the year of 1993 and 1994 she continued with the show and then returned to regular high school for a close-to-normal routine. At the age of 15, this 5' 4' very talented ambitious teen got the demo tape that got her contracted to a record deal. As a result she left behind her high school halls. Her travel schedule was mainly to Sweden and to a string of U.S. malls. Spears started for the hit band 'N Sync' in January, 1999. Spears surpassed ’N Sync and almost everyone else in the pop rock biz in the next month, after her debut album 'Baby One More Time' got to the record stores, radio stations and music video stations. That album sold almost 17 million copies and helped the artist to four major Billboard Music awards, an unexpected four MTV Europe Music awards, a Much Music Canada award and two Grammy nominations. Songs like Bottom of My Broken Heart, Crazy, Sometimes and the title track 'Baby One More Time' was on the top of the music charts in a flash. News in Rolling Stone magazine with endless television appearances, media interviews and long touring schedule made this performer fell on top of the world. Soon she was a teen glamorous superstar in one brief year.
The negative side of this instant fame was numerous anti-Britney websites running daily on the Internet, and an appearance on Mr. Blackwell’s Worst Dressed list. But this did not make much difference since she had more than enough devoted.
Spears is also been caste in three episodes of the hit series 'Dawson’s Creek' and contracted a deal for a TV series of her own. On May 16, 2000 a new album, with Spears’ own tune, Dear Diary got released. Spears is known to lead her fellow dancers in prayer before each performance. This ambitious 5' 4', talented young woman has the potential to be more than what she is now.
As far her personal life goes she was rumored to have relations with Colin Farrell (actor), Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit front man), Justin Timberlake (member of 'N Sync, broke up) and Jason Geddert (dated in 1997). Spears also signed for a spot on hit sitcom WILL & GRACE. Spears has begun a new relationship with MTV host Mike Kasem. They’ve been friends but their romance has only developed in the last couple of years.
