TV Guide: You balance your girl-next-door image with sexy music videos and provocative photos. I don't think that "balance" is the correct word here. How about override...change....destroy? Is there a full-blown rebellion in your future?

Britney: I don't know. The Rolling Stones thing wasn't me; it was like dress-up to see myself in a different way. You mean it was like dress-up to show people how you really are.... I think its cool when you see artists on different levels, but I don't think I would ever go as far as Madonna would. Ok, so what do you call yourself doing?

TVG: You're a practicing Baptist. Could've fooled me... Does your religion conflict with being sexy?

BS: As long as I'm comfortable, I don't worry about what other people think. Except for all those men you've laid to get where you are... Even before the Rolling Stones thing, the press just wanted something to talk about to make readers more interested. NO! You're a liar! What do EXPECT when you pose half nude at 17?! Oh you're such a DUNCE WTF is you're problem? This is frustrating. I want to shake her.... -:-slaps the bitch-:-

TVG: So when it comes to those rumors of having breast implants...

BS: Oh, Lordy. Totally not true. I don't see anything wrong with it, but I would never do that. "Unless Chad asked me to." If others want to do that, that's fine. But it does scare me in a way, because people who think I did that view me as a bad person, or they want to go out and do it. It bothers me, but thats not my fault. The press started that. No...you're plastic surgeon started that...

TVG: Does it anger you?

BS: At first it did. In some interviews I would just start crying, There's proof of that! Click here. I'd be like, Why are they being so rude to me? After a while people stopped saying stuff. But for a while it was really rough. I f you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, bitch, you can't cook...

TVG: So you breasts just got bigger as you got older. -:-sarcastic-:-

BS: Yeah. When I first got signed with the record label, we took a lot of photos, and those were the pictures that got used. I weighed 105 pounds; I weigh 130 now. I went through a major growth spurt. ...in the hospital. A growth spurt? So why, then, on Howard Stern, did you say it was true. Get your story straight, bit-bit.

TVG: Lets talk about your concert. Is it strange to be back where you filmed the Mickey Mouse Club? Is it strange not singing for all these people that think you can?

BS: It is weird. It seems smaller, cuz I can't see over my boobs... because I was so young then. I was 11 and 12, and I thought that I was the oldest thing stress "thing"... in the world.

TVG: And what about your next CD?

BS: I'm going to be working with Max Martin again, and I think Diane Warren and Babyface. I promise Babyface wouldn't sink that low. He worked with Whitney Houston and Toni Braxton. Divas, you know...that thing you'll never be? (Slut don't cout...) One thing I didnt have on the last album was a strong ballad, which, for credibility, I really wanted. I also want the album to be edgier and a little funkier, more of an R&B feel.

TVG: Will you do any duets?

BS: I would like to, but with someone you wouldn't normally put me with, like Steven Tyler. Again, if he sinks to that level, I'll shake my head in disgust and cry. Something crazy like that.

TVG: Your fellow former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera has launched a successful music career. Is there any rivalry between you two?

BS: No. I knew that when the world accepted me as a young female pop artist, The girls haven't accepted you yet, babe. The guys sleep with you, yes, but that doesn't mean a thing... there were going to be a lot more. But I dont think its a matter of someone stealing my thunder. It's about hard work and determination. She's got it, and she'll do really well.

TVG: Youre filming a guest role on Dawsons Creek this winter. What can you tell us about it?

BS: I dont play myself. I'm supposed to be a dork, Wait, I though you said you WEREN't playing yourself? Get your story straight, bit-bit. and I think Joey tries to make me over.

TVG: Will you have a love interest?

BS: I don't know. If it was a choice between Dawson or Pacey, I would pick Pacey. He just seems like a cool guy.

TVG: Tell us about playing yourself on an episode of The Simpsons for next year.

BS: I'm hosting an awards show, and I'm kind of obnoxious because I'm trying to take over the show. I'm curious to see what I'm going to look like. The writers are like, Of course youre going to have the overbite and the boobs.

TVG: Anything else youre appearing on?

BS:I think I'm going to do 90210. I might be working with David on something in a music studio. Why?

TVG: And then there's your deal with Columbia TriStar for your own series. Good God, no!.

BS: Yeah. Right now I don't have time to do that, but maybe after I finish the next album and do the world tour. "I haven't slept with enough of the producers yet."

TVG: Who's your ideal leading man?

BS: Ben Affleck, definitely.

TVG: He's a friend right?

BS: Were not that buddy-buddy. He came to one of my parties in L.A., and I'm, like, gulp. It was a group orgy party, and he was so much smaller than all the hundreds of other guys I've slept with and I was trying not to laugh. But, no, we don't really know each other.

TVG: Are you dating anyone?

BS: I am single. I wish I had a boyfriend. But it would really kind of suck if I did, because I dont want to have to miss somebody. It's not so bad, though, because I havent run into anybody I really want to go out with. Except Justin. We like to disappoint the fans and go off and have mad rad sex with whipped cream and chocolate-covered strawberries...Oh yeah, and making fun of little girls that want our autographs (tru stories, people)

TVG: What about those rumors of your dating Justin Timberlake?

BS: I would give anything anything, huh? to go out with him. Its so funny, they're always saying that. I wish. [Despite her denial, the two have been spotted together at several events, including, reportedly, the recent Country Music Association Awards.]Funny how those "rumors" start, eh?

TVG: You're a high-school senior this year. Any plans to go to college?

BS: If I want a break and want to have that knowledge behind me, I would like to. Ok brit. When someone pops those boobies, I'll laugh when you can't get a job cuz you're STUPID (I will not cuss, I will not cuss, I will not cuss....) But music will always be a part of my life. I don't know if I could go back to having a normal job after doing this.You better learn!
