Britney Jean Spears was born December 2, 1981 in McComb, Mississippi. A short time after she was born her parents moved with her and her older brother Brian to Kentwood, Louisiana where her mom still lives today.She was born as a middle child in the family on December 2, 1981. Her parents are Lynne Irene, a former elementary school teacher, and James Parnell Spears, who is a building contractor. Britney has older brother Bryan Spears (b. April 19,1977), and younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears (b. April 4, 1991). About her brother Britney says that he was frequently keeping her safe and out of trouble, when she was growing up. Bryan works as a manager for the Spears family interests and Jamie Lynn is an actress and singer. In 2005 Bryan was co-producing the TV series Zoey 101, in which Jamie was starring. Recently younger Spears sister announced her pregnancy at age of only 16, which was for some time main news in lot of magazines.
Even as a young child, Britney loved to perform. Her parents Lynne and James raised Britney, Brian and younger sister Jamie-Lynn as Southern Baptists. Britney and her brother used to attend church regularly when they were small kids before Jamie-Lynn was born. By the time she could walk, she was already singing, dancing and she liked to listen to the radio. At age 3 she was taking jazz and ballet classes. With her skills she often became the group leader and joined dance competitions and regional festivals. Music beckoned and Britney started to show her talent by singing for the choir in the local church as well as being a competitor for TV's Star Search.
Britney’s talent was discovered at about five years old. “It all started when Britney and Lynne (her mom), were in the car and Lynne turned on the radio. Brit started to sing and imitate the singer’s style perfectly,” said Ginger Simmons. After her family heard this, they started saving their money to give Britney voice lessons. At the age of five years old, Britney decided that singing is what she wanted to do and nothing was going to stop her.At that time Britney started to perform anywhere she could - at her local Baptist church choir, school and local TV stations. But beside that, she was an accomplished gymnast, attending gymnastic classes until age nine and competing in state-level competition.
It wasn't long before Britney Spears started gaining major attention. At age eight she auditioned for the Disney Channel series The New Mickey Mouse Club. Although she was considered too young to join the series at the time, a producer on the show introduced her to agent. After New York City agent discovered her, Britney subsequently spent three summers at NYC's Professional Performing Arts School. She also attended the Off-Broadway Dance Center in New York. In 1992, she landed a spot on the popular television show Star Search. She won the first round of competition, but ultimately lost. At age eleven, Spears returned to the Disney Channel for a spot on The New Mickey Mouse Club in Lakeland, Florida. She was featured on the show from 1993 to 1994, until she was 13. Other future celebrities on the show included fellow pop singer Christina Aguilera, ´N Sync members Justin Timberlake and Joshua Chasez, and Felicity actress Keri Russell. It is funny that she was best friend with Christina Aguilera when they performed together on «MMC»,
because later they are not going to be in best relationships. There are some other interesting rumors during the Mikey Mouse Club that Spears had a secret crush on Justin Timberlake at that time. After the show ended, Spears returned to Kentwood and attended high school for a year.In 1997, Spears briefly joined the all-female pop group Innosense. Later that same year, she recorded a demo solo and was signed by Jive Records. She began a U.S. concert tour sponsored by American teen magazines, and eventually became an opening act for 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, and the rest is pop history now.
Just to mention few words abour her marriages - Britney gained headlines for her brief marriage with early days friend Jason Allen Alexander. Married on January 3, 2004, they later annulled the marriage on January 5, 2004. In the same year, Britney also married ex-backup dancer Kevin Federline on September 18, 2004., who is momentally her last husband.
