Tonight at 8pm EST Britney Spears one hour documentary “For The Record” will be available on demand on MTV.com.
“I’m not gonna sugarcoat it and say I was OK, ” she reveals in the special referring to the time, around a year ago, when she shaved her head bald, used an umbrella as a weapon, and locked herself in a bathroom with her kids for several hours before authorities were forced to take her to the hospital for suicide watch.
This is a big week of Britney — her birthday, her big documentary premiere in which she states “no question will be of limits” (well that’s because the off camera interviewee doesn’t really ask many questions and really there’s no need to sweat over it because we will watch it either way and now this leaves something for “the autobiography” that Britney hints at in the program. Most likely a comeback for the comeback to the comeback. But I digress.) and ofcourse her sixth studio album “Circus” dropped on Monday too.
The documentary is essentially another tool in the Britney Spears comeback to the comeback pr machine (MTV Music Awards 2007 ring a bell!?!) aimed at showing the world that Spears is not insane, really she’s not (in the documentary she claims people take advantage of her, it’s not her, it’s “certain people”). Britney agreed to be documented for 60 days while she goes shopping, records her music, works on a new music video (which ofcourse you will have to watch at another time) and gives diary-like entries to the camera.

The show has its moments, like when producers placed a videographer inside Britney’s car to show what she sees when she looks out her car window — literally hundreds of screaming photographs all vying for a piece of that staggering $100 million a year that Britney photographs generate. That 15 seconds alone makes this documentary worth watching.
People all around the world are always curious to see what Britney looks like — and now at age 27, can Britney keep eating her Dad’s grits with extra butter and still keep her abs rock solid? These are the burning questions filling many minds right now… many of whom should probably be asking that question to themselves.
Well in honor of Britney’s self reflection, and our admittance that even though she lip syncs we still love to watch her perform, let’s also take a moment and reflect on her style. From tummy bearing attire to lace and lots of sparkle, Britney always knows how to make a statement. But is her fashion sense matching who she claims she is now? Hit us up with your comments below.
