She's back and she's spilling the beans. No subject seems off-limits for Britney Spears as she begins the publicity tour for her new album "Circus" - not even her nasty split from ex-husband Kevin Federline.
For the first time since the pop singer filed for divorce in 2006, Britney is finally revealing that it was Kevin, not her, who was responsible for the demise for their marriage.
"I didn't think my husband was gonna leave me," she says in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine as she explains how her life didn't exactly turn out as she had planned.
And in a new fly-on-the-wall documentary for MTV "Britney: For the Record," airing Sunday night, Britney admits that her marriage to Federline was a mistake.
"I think I married for all the wrong reasons," Spears says in the teary interview. "Instead of following my heart and, like, doing something that made me really happy ... I just did it because ... for just, like, the idea of everything."
And she says things started to go south when Kevin started working on his own projects, including a rap album.
"That's when things got weird," she says.
But the new and improved Britney, with the help of a militant team of minders headed by her father Jamie Spears, seems to be moving on from that turbulent time in her life. She is even dipping her toes back into the dating pool for the first time since her controversial relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.
She has been on at least two dates recently, the singer says in Rolling Stone - both chaperoned by her staff.
Unfortunately it sounds like both guys struck out on date one.
The first was what Brit calls a "an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier."
It was so bad that the singer ordered dessert first to get the date over with.
The second date was with a much older guy who was into martial arts.
"We're trying to ask him questions, like, "
Ok, you're into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?" And he was like, 'Oh, all kinds.' But you know how silly we are, so we were just cracking up," Brit explains to the mag.
The new, post-breakdown Britney Spears seems to have finally gotten herself together. She looks happy and healthy and even wholesome, posing in jeans and a T-shirt on the mag's cover.
She admits that now she only sees Federline, who she refers to as "my babies' daddy," when the two are trading off the kids.
And Britney thinks her sons are picking up bad behavior from her ex. "It's weird cause they're starting to learn words like stupid and Preston says the F-word sometimes," Britney says.
Even though Britney seems candid in both interviews, both Rolling Stone and MTV have revealed that her father and managers rarely left her alone during the interview process and asked to vet questions beforehand.
We'll be seeing a lot more of Britney in the next couple of weeks. She is heading to Europe for the weekend to promote her new single "Womanizer." But she will return to the States on Dec. 2 when she will perform on "Good Morning America" on her 27th birthday.
