Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2 1981 in McComb, Mississippi & raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. Britney was an avid dancer in her youth and was a winner of numerous competitions in gymnastics. However, the most important thing was, Britney loved to sing. Britney auditioned for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989) at the age of 8. She was rejected due to her young age. Britney was later recommended to the off-Broadway production "Ruthless" in which she played in the title role for two years. At the age of 11, she was back on stage for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989). This time, she was one of the mouseketeers along with other stars of today, Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez (*NSYNC) and Ryan Gosling.

After the release of her debut album"Baby "...Baby One More Time" in early 1999 Britney became an international success having sold 13 million copies of "Baby" and 9 million copies (as of July 2001) of her sophomore album "Oops !...I Did It Again" and was released in the month of May 2000. Britney was born to Lynne Spears & Jamie Spears and has a big brother, Bryan Spears & a little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears. Britney was destined to be an upcoming star at a young age. Britney loved singing and was inspired by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. After a long period of singing and dancing classes and appearing in various talent shows and fairs, Britney auditioned for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989) TV series (1989-1994) at the age of 8, however, she was too young to get the part.
