Brit’s Manager: Movie Shows She’s a Star

November 21st, 2008

As one of the trusted voices by Britney Spears‘ side as she reemerges into the spotlight, manager Larry Rudolph says the pop star’s new documentary, For the Record is all about telling it like it is.

 

"We went there with it," he told MTV news last night at preview of the movie in L.A. "You see Britney in a light you’re not used to seeing her in. She’s intelligent, she’s introspective, she’s honest. By the end of the film you really understand who she is in a way that you just never imagined. … It is so not a puff piece."

As for what fans can expect to see in the 90-minute documentary, Larry says they’ll see what they always have about Brit – her star quality. 

 

"She’s got a unique set of talents. She’s got a blend of certain talents," he says. "She’s a great singer. She’s a great dancer. She’s got an amazing image. She’s incredibly likable." In short, he sums up, "She’s got this intangible thing that makes her a star."

 

The documentary is set to air on MTV on Nov. 30, a few days before Britney’s new album Circus debuts on Dec. 2, her 27th birthday.

In new promos for her upcoming documentary For the Record, airing on MTV on Nov. 30, Britney Spears is already opening up quite a bit on her troubled life.

 

"There’s a lot that people don’t now about me that I want them to know," she reveals in one, adding, "I don’t think that anyone can prepare themselves for what stardom really brings."

And for Britney, stardom brought a quick marriage, two children, a string of bizarre incidents and a hospitalization in only a few years, something she says has changed her for the better.

 

"I’ve been through a lot the past two or three years, and I’ve definitely grown up, big time," she muses. "I sit there and I look back and I’m like, ‘I’m a smart person, like, what the hell was I thinking?"

 

The comeback queen also admits that tying the knot with Kevin Federline might not have been the best move, saying, "I think i married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and like doing something that made me really happy, I just did it for like, the idea of everything."

Britney Spears: Enough is Enough

November 18th, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff

While the music world and adoring fans welcomed Britney Spears back recently with loving arms, the formerly troubled pop star has had a long road back from her breakdown last January. In a new documentary, the "Womanizer" singer recounts her struggle to rise above her problems.

"I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in," she says in the 90-minute Britney: For the Record, which is set to air on MTV on Nov. 30. "This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed."

"I think I’ve learned my lesson now, and enough is enough," she adds. 

 

And although it seems the Britney who shaved her head, attacked cameras with an umbrella and flitted around town with unsavory characters is long gone, the pop star says she’s still working on herself.

 

"I have really good days, and then I have bad days," she admits of her life post-hospitalization, adding, "Even when you go to jail, y’know, there’s the time when you’re gonna get out. But in this situation, it’s never ending. It’s just like Groundhog Day. I’m having to pay for it for a really long time."

 

Even as she’s lost custody of her two songs, Preston and Jayden to ex-husband Kevin Federline, Britney is coming out with a new album, Circus on Dec. 2, and has a tour planned for next spring. However, her father Jamie Spears is still in control of all her legal fairs.

"If I wasn’t under the restraints that I’m under right now, I’d feel so liberated," she says in the film, which was taped over three months. "When I tell them the way I feel, it’s like they hear me, but they’re really not listening."
