Britney:”The Whole Year Has Been a Hell of a Ride”
In January’s Glamour, Britney Spears opens up about her “crazy year,” her new album Circus and her future.
“The whole year has been a hell of a year for me,” she says, referring to her forced psychiatric hospitalizations, loss of custody of her two sons and infamous head shaving.
Recording her latest album Circus — which drops Tuesday on her 27th birthday — “has helped take my mind off certain things,” she says. “For me, my music is therapy.”

The singer — who made her first live performance Wednesday in Germany since her rocky 2007 MTV Video Music Awards stint — also admits she “didn’t know exactly where I stood with everyone” after the past year.
“When I received the awards and [the audience] stood for me, it showed me how much love is out there,” says Spears, who swept the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
Her life is calmer these days, she says.
“I don’t like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people,” the singer tells Glamour. “I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I’m kind of boring.”
She’s also been hitting the gym.
On her post-baby body, Spears says, “My body…completely changed [after giving birth], and I have had to work hard at getting it back.”
What are her goals for 2009?
“I would like to stop worrying so much, because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier, just in general,” she says. “I have to learn to take things not so seriously. And to stop biting my nails!”
