This mega Super Star just finished an unbelievably chaotic year for someone so young and someone that showed so much talented potential so early in her life.

Right now, you cannot pick up a newspaper, turn on your TV or check out your Internet browser’s home page without seeing photos of her latest slide into some dark oblivion of her own making.

Britney was born in McComb, Mississippi, on December 2, 1981 and was raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. Her parents are Lynne and James Spears. Her mother was an elementary school teacher and her father is a building contractor. She has a brother, Bryan, and a sister, Jamie.

She attended gymnastics classes until she was nine years old, competing in gymnastic competitions at the state level. She joined the choir at her Baptist church and performed in dance revues…normal activities for a pretty and talented young girl in the south at that time.

When she was eight years old, she auditioned for The New Mickey Mouse Club, on the Disney Channel. The producer on the show considered her too young to be a member of the club and introduced her to an agent in New York City. She spent the next 3 summers at the Professional Performing Arts School in NYC, where she appeared in a few off-Broadway productions. In 1991, at the age of 9, she appeared in Ruthless!

The next year, she was in Star Search, a popular television show of the time, where she won the first round but lost the second. When Britney was 11, she finally got her spot on The New Mickey Mouse Club in Lakeland, Florida, and was a main feature on the show from 1993 to 1994. When the show ended, Britney returned to Kentwood and attended high school for a year.

1997 was a busy year for Britney. Briefly, she was a member of the all-female group, Innosense, and later that year, she recorded a demo and was signed by Jive Records and embarked on a U.S. concert tour sponsored by American Teen Magazine. Before the year was up, she became an opening act for ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys. She was barely 15 at the time.

The following year, Britney became a superstar with her recording of “Baby One More Time.” Although she initially presented and promoted a good girl image for her album, the music video that came out of the hit CD could have been her first hint of the troubles to come.

Her first music video was originally planned to be set in a cartoon-like environment to attract young children. But Britney didn’t like that idea at all. She wanted a more mature presentation and the set moved to Venice High School. Her naughty, school girl outfit that she wore, with the uniform shirt tied up to expose her bare midriff and pigtails that resembled those of the scandalous movie young girl, Lolita, all helped to rocket her into a worldwide superstar.

Looking back over Britney’s childhood and teen years, a question comes to mind: Where was her childhood? She started performing in one way or another when she was 9 years old and auditioning when she was a year younger.

“Oops I did it again”…and she did it making her place at one of the top spots in the music world. The lady in question is none other than Britney Spears. Bold and beautiful, this American song writer and singer created waves with her hysteric performances. Britney is one of the best selling music artists to date. Her popularity becomes more than evident from the fact that she has sold an estimated 83 million records worldwide.

Talent seems to be running through and fro the veins of this pop diva. No wonder her first debut single itself “Hit me baby one more time” topped the Billboard hot 100. The chartbuster that was released in October 1998 remained the numero uno for two weeks in a row. The song was a huge success and even went on to be certified fourteen times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Following the talent and the success that Britney had seen with her debut single aloe, awards had to follow. In the December of 1999, Britney was awarded with four Billboard music awards. Now that’s pretty much. And that’s not just it. She even won the Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist award at the American Music Awards.

After her first album Britney came up with yet another album “Oops I did it again”. This album too became a roaring success with 1,319,193 units were sold during its first week. Though Britney became increasing popular with each album, she was surrounded by one set of controversies after the other. Her alleged relationship with Justin Timberlake brewed a rake of controversies for the pop star.

The female pop singer will always be remembered for the chartbusters that she has given.

Britney Spears Sunglasses – What She’s Wearing

Whenever you see Britney Spears, you see her wearing sunglasses. In fact, the odds are pretty good that when you see her on TV or in a magazine, regardless of whether they catch her during the day or late at night, there she is, wearing sunglasses. And she’s not wearing the five dollar brand you get at the gas station. Chances are pretty good she’s got on a designer pair of sunglasses, and they always look good on her. So regardless of what she’s wearing next, you can expect Britney Spears sunglasses to look just right for her.

Catching Britney Spears wearing a great pair of sunglasses isn’t difficult. At any given time you can spot her wearing Dolce and Gabanna, Fox, Badgley Mischka, Tom Ford Sunglasses, or Roberto Cavalli Sunglasses. They each have a different attitude, and they add a special touch to her personality. She’s been seen wearing the aviator style Cercione RC 299S from Robert Cavalli, a gorgeous pair that covered her eyes without overpowering her face. The Lucille from Badgley Mischka is a stylish piece of art, one you just don’t wear with a tattered tee-shirt and ripped skirts, but Britney Spears sunglasses selections seem to find a way to do it.

Dolce and Gabanna is another designer of Britney Spears sunglasses favorites and the 6017 is a model that is perfect for her. Britney seems to like the big sunglasses, the ones that hide her face while highlighting her big and bright smile. The 6017 is big, but not too gaudy and doesn’t overpower her. The designer logo D&G is big enough to let you know what she’s wearing, but not so much that you think she’s a walking billboard. That perfect mix does wonders for both D&G and for Britney as they both make each other look spectacular.

The world of child actresses, singers, dancers and performers is a troubled one. The price of success at such an early age would appear to take its toll later on in life, but perhaps not much later than you might imagine.

Consider the case of Lindsay Lohan, who started her career in commercials at the age of 3. She then went on, still at an early age, to work as a fashion model and then on to acting and even music. One might consider this a great boost in life and a great head start, but we all know where she ended up (at least temporarily) : fighting an addiction to alcohol at the tender age of 20. We can add countless others to this list such as Brooke Shields and Drew Barrymore.

Perhaps the best known, and best loved, case of them all is dear Britney Spears. How we all loved her and then we ditched her as her life spiralled out of control following a messy divorce and custody battle for her two children and even a hit and run incident and driving without a license.

Like Lohan, she started early in life as a performer (mainly a singer) but as fame, money and universal recognition increased, she appeared unable to take control of her life. However, many of us do not know how to take control of our lives, but unlike Spears and Lohan, we do not wake up to see our mistakes in detail in the headlines of the morning papers. This is a kind of pressure that we, the everyday man and woman on the street, cannot understand.

Happily for Spears, things appear to be turning around. At the 2008 MTV awards, she was awarded three gongs. The year before, she shocked the audience and the world with a robot-like performance of Gimme More. But this year things were different and she received a standing ovation from the audience and won praise and support from her peers and celebrity friends.

Is this the turning point in the life of a child celebrity? Is this a predefined cycle : success early in life followed by a life spiraling out of control only to get it together once more to do it all again ? Many observers are asking the question : how long can Spears last this time? Have we heard the last gong?

Teenagers are so obsessed with the weight of celebrities like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. I turned my television channel recently and saw several teenagers on a prominent talk show expressing how much these three celebrities have become their idol in wanting to lose weight and look exactly like them. This is a dangerous undertaking and not a wise one.

First of all, most celebrities have their own chefs and personal fitness trainers to help them to lose the weight and look good. They can afford the luxury of losing weight faster than most of us can. Britney Spears does a lot of dancing, which is a good form of exercise to help her to lose weight and stay fit. Teenagers should probably consider taking on a physical activity that would help them to achieve their own individual goals instead of fashioning someone else.

According to a British tabloid, Britney takes Zantrex pills to assist with her trim body look. According to the marketers of this weight loss drug, it is an energy enhancer and a diet supplement. It is claimed to speed up weight loss without exercise or dieting. It can make you feel jittery the first time you take it because it does have caffeine as an ingredient. People with hypertension, high blood pressure and diabetes should refrain from taking Zantrex.

All diet pills do have side effects and Zantrex is not omitted from this observation. Here are the obvious side effects, which are the same you would probably get with drinking coffee:

· nervousness

· rapid heart rate

· headaches

· jitters

· insomnia

· increased blood pressure

The media is obsessed with the life of any celebrity, but I think that their focus should turn to the obsessive teenagers who would go to any lengths to be like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie even if their actions bring harm to themselves. What really matters is not Britney Spears diet, but the plight of a teenager who is not properly educated and informed about how celebrities look the way they do and want to follow the rumors of a tabloid newspaper who reports that Britney takes Zantrex to look like she does. This teenager may not even care about the side effects and long-term consequences of the pill.

As a society, our responsibility to teenagers should be to present the other side of the story so that they can make an informed decision. You may say that this is the parent’s liability and I agree that the parents are first and fore mostly the ones who should guide their children. However, we do have an inherent accountability to do our part for the betterment of our culture.
I certainly would not blame Britney Spears for any involvement in this teenage diet craze because she is an adult and can do whatever she wants to do. Every one has a choice when it comes to taking diet pills and weight loss products. However, when we fashion our decision by what someone else does, it leaves more to the imagination of whether we are trying to please ourselves or the other person.

Just a few short months ago, everyone was giving up on pop Queen Britney Spears. Her life was seemingly in tatters – and many people thought she was finished.

But now, she’s showing her detractors and supporters alike that she got a lot of fight in her. From a hit song, a new workout regimen, her appearance on a popular TV sitcom, and spending time with her family, Spears has turned what was a big negative into a new beginning.

Now, it’s not over for Britney yet. She still has custody issues to work out with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline … her father, Jamie Spears, is still in charge of her affairs, and she likely needs ongoing counseling.

However, even with those issues, Britney Spears has battled demons that would have caused most normal people to crumble!

But did we expect anything less from this young woman? After all, you don’t rise to fame and fortune at such a young age without having a strong will and a positive outlook on life, no matter what problems you might be facing.

Let’s take a look at a few of the mountains Britney has climbed recently:

Hit song. Shortly after her troubles started, Britney was quick to release “Piece of Me,” a scathing statement about being chased by the paparazzi. The song went Platinum, reached No. 1 on dance charts around the world, and stayed on the charts for several months. The video has had over 40 million views – and counting – on YouTube.

TV appearance. Many people thought this would be the last thing we’d see out of Britney for many years. Her critics like to point to her MTV Awards performance as a low point in her career, and it may well have been. But just because someone reaches a low point, doesn’t mean they can’t rise up, and Britney did with her appearance on the hit TV show, How I Met Your Mother. Her performance was so well received that Spears was asked back for a second appearance. In fact, her first performance increased viewers by over one million!

Family ties. Britney’s been reconnecting with her family recently, which is perhaps the most important thing a person in her position can do. After all, in a time of instability, who else is going to love and support you like your family? She has been photographed by the ever present paparazzi relaxing with her family, she’s returning to her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, and is reportedly planning Jamie Lynn Spears’ (her sister) baby shower.

Is Britney back? Well, it’s too early to tell for sure, but so far the Queen of Pop has been taking all the right steps on the road back to her rightful place atop the charts. Certainly, it would be a wonderful thing to see her on stage singing, dancing and performing again very soon.

At the rate she’s been conquering her mountains, it looks like 2008 could be a very good year for Britney. Let’s all hope so.

For investing in Real Estate perhaps there is no better time than the next 18 months to be one with a huge cash flow during rock bottom real estate prices. In Parts I and II and specifically Part II we noted all the real estate holdings of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. After careful in-depth digging of the public record it was amazing to find much more property than most people had believed.

After all, who would expect a young single gal to own so many pieces of real estate, while in the prime of their lives and a list of parties to attend, that is a mile long? Each gal of course owns a private residence, all of which are substantial. Britney Spears, who has a monthly income said to be about $700,000 per month, enjoys spending all of it, without saving, or does she? Owning real estate at the bottom of the market is in a way like money in the bank.

Paris Hilton’s timely purchase of some prime Malibu Beachfront property, is not a bad call either. That neighborhood historically was the last to be hit during downturns in the real estate cycle and generally the first to recover. She may have bought very close to its lowest low – what would you expect from the daughter of a superstar business family with real estate holdings the world over.

We also know that Paris Hilton, although quite controversial is also a hugely successful business woman with royalty income of well over 3 million a year, you may think she is a dumb blonde, but you’d be dead wrong. In fact, Paris Hilton’s on the prowl for prime real estate in this depressed market and something tells me she’ll find exactly those pieces she is looking for. The term ” buy low, sell high” has been a Hilton tradition and this young gal does not seem to be one to break that rule of thumb.

Nicole Richie, is indeed rich, not as rich as the other gals, but she has some nice real estate holdings, even though she is more in the boat with many Americans as to the timing of her purchases. Anyone, who believes Nicole Richie is down and out, reads too many tabloids and believes too much of what they see on TV or read in the Inquirer.

In conclusion, Paris Hilton, is beginning her own real estate fortune and is miles ahead of the other girls in the long-term real estate investment game. She has made some early decisive moves and does not appear to be stopping anytime soon. I hope you have enjoyed this three-part series and comprehensive case study of the three most popular Hollywood Babes and their diverse and most fascinating Real Estate Holdings.

Britney Spears has had her share of troubles in the past few years. Included in the long list of PR violations are a marriage in Vegas that lasted for 48 hours, a messy divorce, a custody battle for her two children, a distanced relationship from her immediate family, an entourage quitting left and right, rehab stints and photo shoots and interviews gone bad. However, celebrities are not strangers to drama. A few of her close friends named Lindsay and Paris have done jail times, but we have yet to see a spears “Oops!” mugshot. Why is Spears being torched by the media while others get away with it?

Musicians are always getting into trouble. Hard rock and rap artists are notorious for drama, rehab and jail time. Britney, the one-time princess of pop, has had her dramatic transition from pre-teen to young adult, splashed on the front pages of the tabloids. Madonna, a media sweetheart as a matured A-lister, had her share of teenage troubles, and rock bands like Aerosmith have had drug problems and relationship battles as well. Is there a double standard for Britney? It’s true that Britney has gone from pre-teen virgin to a rehab hopping divorcee, but does that make her a celebrity we should write off for good? Britney sold a record 500,000 copies of her Oops! I Did it Again album, on its opening day and she has toured the world playing to sold out audiences. Britney has obviously done something right, and now that she has done a few things wrong, she has nowhere to go but up-or so we hope. Optimists predict these troubled days will mold Britney into a more complex and interesting artist and performer-if she can find her footing once again. Websites like, Britney Spears I Believe, predict a big comeback for the popstar. If other musicians can have roller coaster lives, can’t Britney as well?

Rags to riches stories are as classic at the concept that sex sells. Artists who have come from tragedy or worked their way up to beat the odds are glorified in the media. Well, Britney has amazing odds to beat. So if tragedy are what inspires depth of artistic skill, we may be looking out for an amazing comeback to Britney. A reinvention perhaps. Madonna has done it many times, and if Britney can reinvent herself and grow from her pain, are we all in for a surprise? Can beauty be born from this tabloid named, ‘trainwreck of a celebrity’ we see before us today? Afterall, isn’t drama, pain, emotion, tragedy and chaos what the entertainment industry is all about? Who likes a boring pop star anyways?

As I write, the world is still waiting to find out why Britney Spears shaved her head and let her long flowing locks fall to the salon floor. While I don’t have any insight into Britney’s reasoning for what is being viewed by the media as a troubling indication of her instability, I can comment on how something as simple a shaving ones head can serve as the much needed spark for lasting personal change.

Few things contribute to what we will accomplish in life, or not, as much as our identity. When someone has smoked for 30 years tells me, “I haven’t smoked for 3 months now.” I’ll probe a little deeper, perhaps even asking “how much longer before you smoke again?” If they tell me, “Oh, I’m a non-smoker….I was a smoker for 30 years, but I’m a non-smoker now, so never, ever again!” then I know they have made the much needed identity shift that will all but guarantee their continued success. It’s one thing to stop a behavior; it’s an entirely different “animal” though when you change “who” you are, and how you perceive yourself.

Behind nearly every lasting change, upon closer examination you’ll find an identity shift that serves as the glue that holds the transformation together. Very few people have the tenacity required to maintain behavioral changes made without the rock solid foundation offered by a change in identity.

Have you ever wondered why new inductees in the armed forces have their heads shaved? It’s really very simple; a persons chosen hair style has literally been “fused” with their identity. This is why women who lose their hair while undergoing chemotherapy often describe the hair loss as the worst part of the treatment. This also explains why millions of men spend more on products like Rogaine each month than they put into their retirement account.

When the Army shears the young recruits like so many sheep in the spring, they have taken a crucial step in reshaping how these young men and women see themselves; when there are no longer individual hairstyles, and everyone looks the same, an identity “vacuum” is created. It’s much easier for the Army to install the beliefs needed to make an obedient soldier when they don’t have to wrestle with an identity that may or may not be “accepting” of the new values and guiding principles offered by the military.

As strange as it sounds at first, if your goal is to lose weight for example, rather than focusing on forcing yourself to eat less and exercise more, you may want to first “become” the kind of person who eats only healthy foods and who can’t imagine a day ending before you’ve exercised. When you begin by first adopting the identity of a person who easily and naturally eats well and exercises daily, you’ll find that doing those things will soon seem like second nature.

How do you do that? We can learn a great deal by looking at award winning actors like one of my favorites, Robert DeNiro. When preparing for a role in an upcoming film, actors and actresses will step completely into the character they will be portraying. In fact, some of them “become” their character so fully, that they often have difficulties “breaking character” and require rather intense debriefings to get back to “themselves” once the film has been finished. What would happen if they kept up this “pretending” indefinitely? The time would arrive, when they would find they had crossed the point of no return; they’d no longer identify with many of the beliefs and values that had served as their guide posts for most of their life.

With a new identity comes new patterns of thinking, new patterns of behaving, and ultimately new and different results. Will the changes that result from Britney having shaved her head be in her best interest? We can only wait and see. One thing is certain though, with such a radical shift in her “look” she’ll no doubt experience new thoughts, new feelings, and in the end, new behaviors.

One final thought; if you find yourself a bit unsettled by the word “pretending” as a way of changing your identity, I invite you to consider the following. At some point in your youth, perhaps sometime in Junior High School, you were accepted into a certain social group. It might have been the “Jocks”, the “Brainiac’s”, the “Geeks” or some other group that you found comfort being a member of. There were certain things the “cool” people in those groups did and said, and because you wanted to be accepted by the others, you too, started to do those things. At first you were pretending, but eventually, you were no longer making the conscious choice to behave that way; the behaviors had become habitual unconscious behaviors.

What would happen if you “pretended” that you were a consistent investor for a year? What would happen if you pretended you were a wonderful public speaker for 18 months? Isn’t it true that there’s a part of you that can already sense the answer to those questions? Follow that inner voice, and build the identity that will support the achievement of any worthwhile goal.
