Britney Spears Career
Later that year, Britney and Justin broke up amid rumors that she had cheated on him. Both went back and forth about the accusations and Justin went as far as channeling the break up through his video Cry Me a River.
The restaurant did poorly and shut down a year later. But she was later floored when she was named one of Forbes most powerful celebrities in the world. The following months Britney seemed like she was out of control, she was drinking and smoking and partying almost every night of the week, but it was when she performed with Madonna and Christina Aguilera at the MTV’s Video Music Awards singing Like a Virgin, was she again the center of attention. At the end of the song Madonna kisses Christina Aguilera on the mouth and then kisses Britney, that kiss was the talk of the world for many months to come.
Britney and Madonna became soul mates, Britney had long been a fan of Madonna’s so when Madonna began giving Britney some advice on her career, Britney sat up and took notice. Madonna introduced Britney to the world of Kabbalah. She released In the Zone in 2003 and that album is Britney’s claim to fame as a sexual person who isn’t afraid to act it out in her music. Madonna even appeared on the track, Me Against The Music. She began her tour called the Onyx Hotel but she had to cancel the tour on the last leg of the tour due to a knee injury.
She released a greatest hits album in 2004 but she hasn’t been seen musically since then. But that is not to say she has not been seen.
In 2004 while she was in Vegas with a group of friends she married childhood friend Jason Alexander. The marriage was annulled right away. In 2004, Britney began dating a man names Kevin Federline he was a back up singer and father of two children with actress Shar Jackson. After a couple of months of dating Britney and Kevin announced that they would be married.
On September 18, 2004, they announced they got married, they had pictures and a small wedding but that was later revealed that the real wedding date was October 6, 2004. Britney did not want to have a pre nup because she believed in her love for Kevin but at her manager and her families’ insistence she had one drawn up.
She later fired her manager for meddling in her personal life. She must be glad she listened now! Britney and Kevin’s first child a son named Sean Preston was born on September 14, 2005. The birth of Britney’s second son Jayden James was born on September 12, 2006. Britney’s marriage was always reported as being rocky but in November 2006, Britney announced that she wanted a divorce from her husband of two years. The announcement came as a surprise to Kevin. Now as the two gear up for a nasty divorce, hopefully the kids won’t suffer too much.
