Most A-list megastars are very protective of their privacy.
But not so with Britney Spears.
For years, Britney’s public persona was filtered through the stereotypes controlled by her father.
These days, the pop icon is making up for lost time in a big way — sharing basically every triumph and setback she faces with her adoring fans.
When Brittany’s own sons turned against her, she shared her thoughts on this harrowing ordeal with surprising and admirable candor.
When Britney was body-shamed by her own personal trainer, she recounted the harrowing incident to her 42 million Instagram followers.
Now, Britney has signed a $15 million deal to publish her first memoir — and those familiar with the project say it’s much more than just a celebrity telling.
“Britney’s book is a story of triumph. It will cover her most vulnerable moments, her childhood – being a little girl with big dreams – her breakup with Justin Timberlake, the moment she shaved her head, and her family.” her fight with her over her conservatism,” a source told Page Six.
“It’s also a story of survival, who breaks out of paranoid stereotypes to find happiness with her husband, Sam Ashgari,” the insider added.
“Brittany’s book is brutally honest and heartfelt. No core is left unturned. It truly is a story of female empowerment – taking control of her own life.
“This book is a gift…. There are parts of this book that every person – especially every woman – can relate to and feel less alone. She transforms joy and pain into something transcendent: art. There is,” said a second publication source.
“It’s an inspiring read, not only because it shows Britney’s strength of spirit, but because her story is told with such style, wit, intelligence, honesty, and without any self-pity. Totally winning in the pages,” the insider said.
“This book….will move the world. I am sure it will also be a tremendous instant bestseller.”
Obviously, it seems these sources have a vested interest in promoting the book, but there’s reason to believe that Britney’s literary debut will actually be a more compelling read than the typical A-list memoir.
Britney has gone through a terrible time in her life, and her willingness to open up to fans is almost unprecedented in the history of Hollywood.
The friends and family who betrayed Britney probably won’t be a fan of her book.
But you can be sure that publishers will get a good return on their investment.
Once again Britney has come out on top.
