About Britney Spears
Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American singer, dancer, songwriter, actress and author. She has sold over 83 million records worldwide according to Zomba Label Group.
But she is currently taking a break, since her sister just gave birth.Britney Spears is getting her life back on track. First she appeared on How I Met Your Mother. Now she is reportedly back in the studio.
According to vocal producer Jim Beanz (who has frequently worked with Timbaland, as well as with Spears on her Blackout tracks), Spears is back doing what she was doing at the start of her career. Singing.
“Everyone has personal stuff, but a true professional doesn’t bring it up in the studio,” Beanz added after admitting he’s working with the troubled pop star to Us. “Britney is amazing.”
The biggest thing that Spears has done in the past year to get herself back on the right track is reunite with her former manager, Larry Rudolph. She fired him after returning from rehab in 2007.
But as we and many other Web sites have noted, Spears is taking a break from recording in the wake of her sister giving birth to her first child.

More than any other single artist, Britney Spears was the driving force behind the return of teen pop in the late '90s. The blockbuster success of the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys certainly paved the way for her own commercial breakthrough, but Spears didn't just become a star -- she was a bona fide pop phenomenon

Britney Spears has sold well over 20 million records worldwide, and she made history as the youngest female artist to have her debut single and debut album (...Baby One More Time) top the Billboard charts in the same week. At 18, she had another No. 1 album on her hands, Oops!... I Did It Again, and in 2001 Britney was released, shocking audiences with the provocative video for "Slave 4 U."
Trying her luck on the big screen, Britney Spears starred in 2002's Crossroads, along with actress-singer Taryn Manning. Unfortunately, it showcased Britney's physical assets more than her acting range, and the movie bombed. But Britney bounced back the following year with the album In The Zone.
Publicity certainly hasn't missed Britney Spears: In 2003, she and childhood boyfriend Justin Timberlake had a public breakup, with rumors circulating that she had cheated on him), while she locked lips with Madonna at the MTV Video Music Awards during a performance of "Like A Virgin/Hollywood."
On September 18, 2004, news broke that Britney and boyfriend Kevin Federline (a former backup dancer of hers) had tied the knot in a "surprise wedding," and that Brit did indeed get Kevin to sign a prenup. In 2005, she gave birth to her first baby boy, Sean Preston Federline, and in 2006, she gave birth to her second son, Jayden James.
Britney Spears made waves in the media yet again in 2007 with all kinds of strange antics... She checked into rehab in February, only to check out the next day and walk into a salon to shave all her hair off. She attacked a photographer with an umbrella and was charged with a misdemeanor for a hit-and-run (again, involving the paparazzi). In October she lost custody of her children to ex-husband K-Fed.
