As a young girl, Britney attended dance classes and excelled at gymnastics,

sing. Britney applied for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989) at age 8. She
was turned down due to her young age. Britney was then recommended to
Broadway's off-Broadway musical "Ruthless" in which she performed in
the title role for two years. When she was 11 years old She tried her hand at
The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989) and she made the show as a mouseketeer
with numerous stars of today (Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez of *NSYNC and
Ryan Gosling). In the late 90s Britney signed with Jive Recording Artist. With
the release of her debut album"Baby "...Baby One More Time" in
the early part of 1999, Britney became a global hit, selling 13 million copies
of "Baby" and 9 million (as as of July 2001) of her sophomore album
"Oops !...I Did It Again" and was released in the month of May 2000.
Britney was the daughter of Lynne Spears and Jamie Spears. She has a big
brother Bryan Spears and a little sister Jamie Lynn Spears. Britney was always
destined to be an upcoming star at a young age. Britney loved singing and was
influenced by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. After taking extensive dance
and vocal lessons and appearing in various show and fairs Britney was a
candidate for The All New Mickey Mouse Club (1989) TV show (1989-1994) at the
age of age 8 but was too young to play the part. Instead, Britney, her mother
and baby sister moved to New York where she starred in numerous TV
advertisements and an off-Broadway musical, "Ruthless", where she was
a student of Natalie Portman. She discovered her love of music and dancing two
years later, when she was auditioning again for "Mickey Mouse" and
