Britney Spears
Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981, in Kentwood, Louisiana. She always knew she wanted to pursue a musical career, so she took her talents to her local church, where she sang with the choir. She even sang on national television as a Star Search contestant
Britney Spears is a cultural phenomenon. Though there have been pop princesses before her, no one -- other than Madonna -- has had the level of success and influence that Britney has had. Britney Spears was destined to be in showbiz, but few could have predicted the impact that the former Mickey Mouse Club member would have on pop culture. From Africa to Asia, her posters and albums were seen in almost every teenage bedroom between 1998 and 2005.
