Britney Spears-Rolling Stone
In a new TVdocumentary “For the Record” Britney Spears “portrayed herself as a bright and articulate but rather lonely” person, published the independent on Sunday.
At last, the 26-year-old singer made some revelations that do not include her love and hate relationship with paparazzi, shaving her head or her private life discussed in court.
On Sunday anyone who could have had a look at this documentary, saw a new Britney.She freely talked about her career, love history and especially about the mental illness that made her go to court this year to find out if she was able to look after her two sons.
The “tell-all” documentary on Sky One gained nearly 400 000 viewers and will be broadcasted in almost every country in which people had a chance to follow Britney Spears’ eventful life.
“I miss going out and doing stuff…”
In the documentary Spears talked about everything. From the public desintegration that saw her placed under the guardianship of her father to her three year marriage with Kevin Federline, that had a rather tragic end.
“I miss going out and doing stuff or seeing a guy and hanging out, the way I used to live”she says. “I was a pretty cool chick. I am not really that way any more…Sometimes it can get lonely…”
Hearing that there is a question that naturally comes to our mind: is celebrities’ life that difficult? Apparentl for Britney, the answer is yes.
At only eleven years old she was pushed in front of the public eyes as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star on the television series The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993–1994.
Her album, Baby One More Time in 1999 established her as a pop icon, credited for influencing the revival of teen pop in the late 1990’s.
The music video for “…Baby One More Time“ and Spears’s appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine also established her as an international sex symbol, making controversy over the influence of her public image and particularly on teenage girls.
Was she too young when she started to have a full control of her public life? Or did she look for all the trouble that she experienced?
One thing is clear, celebrities use the paparazzi to gain publicity and in most cases what goes around comes around. Playing with paparazzi is like a Machiavelli game.
It often leads to bad repercussions on famous people’s private life. Definitely, Britney Spears played too much of a love and hate relationship with them and didn’t manage to handle this properly.
But, is she the only one to blame? Did she have the right support next to her or people just took her as pretty girl that know how to sing and will bring money?
Everyone has his own opinion on the subject, but one thing is clear: she has been put in the middle of a game and it must be really hard to keep control of it.
