Britney Spears Trivias

Britney's younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, is currently starting a career as an entertainer in the Nickelodeon shows All That and Zoey 101; Britney herself wrote the theme song "Follow Me" for Zoey 101, though it is sung by Jamie Lynn. Zoey 101 drew record numbers with the premiere of the show which gave the kids channel 1.6 million viewers age 9-14 — its biggest viewership in that demographic for a premiere in eight years. Her older brother, Bryan Spears, is one of her co-managers. Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne, have divorced.

One of Spears' best friends, Jenny, was in the unsuccessful girl-group Innosense. Spears was also a member of the group, but she left and debuted as a solo artist before the band released their first record. One of Spears' closest friends is Felicia Culotta, her assistant.

Is an accomplished gymnast (she did a backflip for the "...Baby One More Time" video and several for the New Mickey Mouse Club).

In 2001, her supposed death in a car crash was announced on the radio by two Texas DJs as a joke; the radio station was subsequently sued.

Spears publicly declared that she was a virgin early in her career and would like to remain one until marriage, but after her split from Justin Timberlake, he revealed that this was no longer true. Spears has been quoted as saying, "I thought he was the one".

In 2002, Forbes named Spears the most powerful celebrity in the world.

For the film Chicago, producer Harvey Weinstein wanted Spears for the role that eventually went to Lucy Liu. Spears was also offered a role in Scary Movie, but was forced to turn it down, due to concert scheduling. She was considered for the part of Allie Hamilton in The Notebook, but was beat out by Rachel McAdams.

Is a good friend of Sarah Michelle Gellar and was asked to appear in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "I Was Made to Love You". She could not appear due to scheduling conflicts, and the role eventually went to Shonda Farr who also did a voice in the Britney's Dance Beat video game.

Topped FHM magazine's 2004 U.S. and world polls for sexiest woman.

In May 2004 Spears had a Hebrew tattoo (מהש) inked into the nape of her neck. She was under the impression that it meant "new era", while a more scholarly reading would be "protection". A source said, "She's taken Kabbalah pretty seriously and this was a big deal for her." This echoes a similar incident in 2003 when Spears was informed by her friend, actress Taryn Manning, that her hip tattoo (the Japanese Kanji character 奇) read "strange" rather than "mysterious" (see Wiktionary).

Her numerous other tattoos include pink dice on her forearm. Her husband, Kevin Federline, has tattooed blue dice. She also has a butterfly tattoo.

In 2005, became the third Mickey Mouse Club Member (after Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake) to win a Grammy.

Has a character modelled after her on Fairly Odd Parents, Britney Britney AKA "The Platinum Princess".
