The Rise and Fall of Britney Spears

Britney Spears is so effective on a world-wide basis, that she generates record-shattering sales with CDs, music videos and electric performances. In effect she has turned out to be her own lucrative industry, beginning with her good girl image and slowly sliding into a much more provocative style that has offended her young fans and their parents.

Her image started getting tarnished in 2004, when she married Jason Alexander, a childhood friend, in Las Vegas and had the marriage annulled 55 hours later. Prior to that short marriage, there was major scandalous publicity generated when she lost her virginity to Justin Timberlake, a former member of N'SYNC.

She wedded Kevin Federline that exact same year. After giving birth to two sons and enduring a divorce in 2006, Britney joined the party scene in a huge way. She became a media darling with her drunken and late-night escapades that more than bordered on the bizarre.

Adding to the ever growing negative mystic surrounding Britney, critics began questioning her parenting skills when she was photographed driving her automobile with her 5-month-old son on her lap. Later within the year, a pregnant Britney was blasted across the magazine scene when she was photographed nude on the cover of Harper's Bazaar. Apparently with out any semblance of modesty, she appeared completely nude, obviously pregnant, with her legs crossed and hands holding her breasts. "...I started feeling myself once more," she said.

After announcing her separation from Kevin Federline, she is seen partying in Manhattan and in Los Angeles and Las Vegas with Paris Hilton. The two celebrities spent the Thanksgiving holiday weekend partying each and every night at popular Los Angeles nightclubs. They had been seen shopping together in Malibu with Britney's oldest son in tow.

She has been in rehab a number of times, but usually returns to her frantic party-girl style as soon as she get released. Her usual procedure is to check herself into a rehab and then check herself out in a day or two.

A bizarre weekend of partying a while back ended with her shaving her head in a salon. That antic got world-wide media attention and did nothing to erase her steadily growing reputation as 1 definitely in immediate demand of rehabilitation help.

Extremely recently, throughout a well-publicized custody battle with Kevin Federline, she lost custody of her sons and ended up in the hospital under mental lockdown. Because the court representative could not find "No just cause" for the 14-day hold, Britney was released early once again from the UCLA Medical Center's psych ward.

Her notorious custody battle with Federline stimulated considerable tension and much more bizarre behavior. She's locked herself in a room of her L.A. home with 1 of her kids and refused to hand him over to her ex-husband. She was taken out of her house on a gurney and hospitalized for mental evaluation.

Her parents are now embroiled in a battle to get her the assist she requirements and to protect her finances from those who appear to be predators. Many accusations abound in this unfortunate public decay of a young woman with a giant fan following. There's no telling where it will end.
