Britney Spears is another high-profile mass media target (though one might suggest anyone entering celebrity village does so knowingly and of her own volition). Beautiful and entertaining pop star Britney Spears gets much coverage for her antics, attitudes, actions, and values, even. But what we wonder is this: which are intentional as contributions to her publicity campaigns and which are unintended leaks to the public?
'Oops, I did it again/I played with your heart',' smirks the cheeky, sexy Spears. But is it really an innocent faux pas?With the debut and platinum catapult to success of her first album, Baby One More Time, Spears was the school girl with sex appeal'and the singing/dancing star at the top of the pop charts. Innocent, cute, but Lolita-esque at best. So the information begins'or, that is, the rumors take up housing in her high-profile life: she's only seventeen (read: still a minor), and she has had breast implants. The publicity has begun!
Next, with only three years (and many best-sellers and awards) to her credit, Britney drops the maulable baby doll persona, drops a few more yards of material, and picks up a giant albino snake to writhe about with for her performance at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, and picks up slack from PETA.
Next, a Razzie Award for worst actress ever later, Britney's painful separation from Justin Timberlake exposes the possibility of infidelity on her part. Britney opens a restaurant; it closes a year later. Britney goes into hiding for a bit'fueling fires of chat about her loss of pop princess status'. Britney tongues Madonna, and sparks of media coverage resuscitate'.
