The exclusive OK! magazine interview with Britney Spears hits shelves tomorrow, but here’s a sneak peek at what it’s all about.
From her nasty divorce and custody battle to her now-infamous performance at the 2007 VMAs to the dark period under the control of “manager” Sam Lutfi, it’s safe to say that the last two years were not the best in the young life of Britney Spears.
And now, one year after an erratic and distracted Brit stormed out of an OK! photoshoot, a very different woman sits down to talk openly about her two adorable sons, her father and the future of her nearly sidetracked career.
Having spent her young life in the spotlight, the 26-year-old mother of two tells OK! that she hopes her boys choose not to choose a career in entertainment. “I’d love them unconditionally if they wanted to,” she explains. “I’d just as soon they have a more normal childhood.
Perhaps some of Britney’s reluctance comes from seeing her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, have to face so much public scrutiny over her recent pregnancy. “I was shocked a little bit,” says Brit. “She’s always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling.”
The pop superstar also tells OK! that she wants her boys to be close to her newborn niece. “I’m sure the boys will be like big brothers to Maddie,” she says.
In an unexpected twist, Britney’s downward spiral in recent years ultimately helped to heal the bonds between the singer and her parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears.
“God has a way of taking something bad and turning it into something good,” explains Jamie, who also spoke exclusively to OK!. “If this hadn’t happened, I would never have been able to get back with my daughter and have this relationship I have with these two little boys.”
Another positive that’s risen out of her darkest days is Britney’s new album, which she expects to hit stores in six to nine months. “I think it is more urban,” she tells OK!.
“I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room… This is my best work ever.”
Britney on enjoying domestic life: “I get mad if the maid does all the housework. If she takes it all into her own hands, well, what’s for me to do? I’m a cleaning fanatic. Dusting is my favorite, and Windex-ing.”
Britney on whether she cooks for her family: “I do. Usually the maid and I will cook together. Sean and Jayden love my spaghetti.”
Britney on focusing on the mommy track these days: “I’m healthy, happy and excited about the future.”
Little unknowns about the pop princess:
- She calls son Jayden “J.J.”
- Brit has the boys Monday and Wednesday, plus noon on Friday until noon on Saturday. Next overnight visit: October 1.
- Her sons are so into cars, that she has “watched the Cars movie nine million times!”
- She wrote a new song about them called My Baby for her new album (due in “six to nine months”).
- She recently saw Mamma Mia! “I thought it was kind of silly,” she says. “I saw Hancock, which I loved.”
- What’s she listening to? “I really like Rihanna. I think she’s great. And the girl Duffy. I think she’s amazing. And I like the new Madonna CD. I like Leona Lewis, too.”
You can’t help but believe that Sam Lutfi was the one behind her craziness/drug induced mania. She sure is in a lot better place since being rid of him!
