Britney Jean Spears
born: 02-12-1981
birth place: Kentwood, Louisiana

After these incredible highs, Britney's career began to wobble in 2004 as her controversial private life started to steal the limelight. Her January Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander was annulled after less than three days. Within a few months she was dating rapper and dancer Kevin Federline, to whom she was engaged by July. The couple were married in October of that year, divorcing in November 2006.

While married to Kevin, Britney gave birth to two children, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline. She maintained a low profile as a performer, releasing only her first Greatest Hits collection in November 2004. She has however declared that her career is not over, just on hold while she raises her young family.

2007 also started as a difficult year for Britney, with her erratic behaviour including the surprise shaving of her hair in February and a number of admissions to drug rehab facilities as she fought a custody battle for her children. In September, an LA judge ordered Ms Spears to undergo random drug and alcohol tests twice a week as part of the conditions of her child custody case.

Spears's performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards later that month received much media attention and was lauded as her comeback. She performed "Gimme More", the lead single from her upcoming album. Reviews of the performance were largely critical, with many noting that the singer seemed confused on stage and appeared to have forgotten the lyrics and dance moves to her routine.

Shortly afterwards, Spears' management company announced that they had terminated their contract with her.

Things went from bad to worse for the troubled star when she was charged with hit-and-run and driving without a valid licence. She's accused of hitting a parked car and driving away from a Los Angeles car park in August. The 25-year-old could face six months in jail and a $1,000 (£495) fine if convicted.
