| After weeks of speculation Britney Spears has released her "letter to the fans." In the letter the superstar announces that she is taking a break from her career to enjoy the "simple things" in life that she has missed out on over the past few years.
While Spears is taking a break from the limelight she says that she really wants to watch "Saved" with Mandy Moore and re-runs of "Sex and the City." Don't expect the singer to just be sitting around on this break though, she and husband, Kevin Federline, will be taking their honeymoon. On that note, Britney says, "Being married is GREAT and I can't wait to start my family."
After reading this letter I must admit that my respect toward Britney has grown. While I have been a fan of Britney since the beginning I have been somewhat annoyed with her publicity antics over the past few years. I mean, the Madonna kiss was HOT, but it was obviously just another attempt for her and Madonna to land on the cover of every magazine worldwide. And, the 55-hour wedding was a great way to garner some much needed attention after "In the Zone" sales weren't doing so well. But, Mrs. Federline is ready to put all that behind her. "My prerogative right now is to just chill & let all of the other overexposed blondes on the cover of Us Weekly be your entertainment... GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!"
As for all the antics, Britney says, "I'm sorry that my life seemed like it was all over the place the past 2 years, it's probably because IT WAS!" She continues, "I understand now what they mean when they talk about child stars. Going & going & going is all I've ever known since I was 15 years old. It's amazing what advisors will push you to do, even if it means taking a naive, young, blonde girl & putting her on the cover of every magazine."
While Britney may hope that the letter puts an end to the chaos of paparazzi that surrounds on any given day, it is highly doubtful that any of that will come to an end anytime soon. I would like to wish Britney and Kevin the best of luck on their marriage. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from Britney in the future.
