Britney Spears ‘Sets The Record Straight’ In Documentary Airing November 30 On MTV.
In the special, Britney reflects on hardships of the past few years: ‘What the hell was I thinking?’
Possibly more than anyone on Earth, Britney Spears’ life is constantly documented by the media, which voraciously reports on the singer’s every step and misstep. But what’s it like to be in her shoes?
With her new album, Circus, set for release in just a few weeks, the singer is ready to show the world her side of the story.
Britney has joined forces with MTV for a 90-minute documentary about her return to the pop-music spotlight. Tentatively titled “For the Record,” the special is set to air on November 30 at 10 p.m. on MTV, two days before Circus is released on December 2 (the singer’s 27th birthday).
“So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know,” Spears told MTV News in a statement about the special. “I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.”
The documentary combines personal stories with behind-the-scenes footage of her comeback. Cameras follow her to the recording studio, to rehearsals, to press tours, to the video shoot for her latest single, “Womanizer,” and even to her hometown in Louisiana. Backstage footage from her recent triumphant appearance at the Video Music Awards is also featured.
Through it all, we hear Britney talking about the hardships that led up to this comeback. “I’ve been through a lot, and there’s a lot people don’t know,” she says in the film. “Sometimes it can get lonely ’cause you don’t open the gate. I’m stuck in this place, and I just cope every day.”
Britney also owns up to the mistakes the world has watched her make, and offers some telling insight into how she feels about it all now. “I sit there and I look back,” she says, before asking rhetorically: “I’m a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?”
“For the Record” airs Sunday, November 30 at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

News: Britney Spears Won’t Perform At Gibson’s Church
Hollywood actor Mel Gibson has shot down rumors claiming that Britney Spears would be performing a gospel gig at his church.
Rumors started off after a British tabloid The Mirror revealed that the troubled pop star would be performing a gig at his catholic church in California.
The reports also claimed that Spears was to have “a new song written for her for the occasion”,
According to TMZ.com, Gibson’s representative has dismissed the rumours insisting there isn’t “an ounce of truth to it,” .
Gibsons church, known as The Holy Family Catholic Church holds a daily mass in Latin and follows an ancient ideology of Catholicism.
However, it is not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church because it does not acknowledge the authority of the Pope or the Vatican.Sphere: Related ContentFriday, February 22, 2008
