August 12, 2008 (Sawf News) - In her first interview in two years, Britney Spears talks about her work, her two sons and her teenaged sister's pregnancy and childbirth, speaking with poise and confidence that belies her recent turbulent past, making it appear like a distant memory.
Britney redeemed herself speaking to OK! for their cover story this week, making up for the disastrous interview with the magazine in July 2007, when she had stormed out before the interview ended wearing $14,526 worth of OK!'s borrowed clothing and jewelry. In addition, she had ruined $6,974 worth of designer dresses.
OK! had interpreted Britney's irrational behavior as a cry for help and published what transpired as its cover story, instead of the interview and the photo shoot that did not take place.
The recent interview took place in Britney's living room in Los Angeles, in the presence of her father and conservator, Jamie Spears.
Britney is upbeat about her upcoming album which is expected to hit stores in six to nine months.
"I think it is more urban," she tells OK!. "I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room... This is my best work ever."
Alluding to what may have gone wrong with her own childhood Britney tells OK! that she is not keen that her sons, Jayden James (b. September 12, 2006) and Sean Preston (b. September 14, 2005), pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
"I'd rather not," she says. "But I'd love them unconditionally if they wanted to. I'd just as soon they have a more normal childhood."
Jamie too spoke to the magazine talking fondly about his daughter and her former husband Kevin Federline.
He says his relationship with Britney has improved though she continues to take advantage of him!
"It's wonderful. (The relationship) is new for both of us. She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot," he says.
Jamie is appreciative of Kevin and says he has been very supportive of Britney.
"Kevin is all for everything. He wants her to have 50/50 custody. He wants them to raise these kids together. Kevin's heart is right."
