Britney Spears seemed destined for stardom since her days performing in pageants - here with parents Jamie and Lynne. "From the word go, she was in pageants, performing and strutting her stuff," a source told Us.

Talks about Britney's first Rolling Stone cover with vintage footage of her talking about that cover and her family. They flash to today's Rolling Stone cover and how her life has changed and how her mom is fighting to keep people like, Sam Lutfi out of her life.

Wade Robinson (LOL, who? Oh that guy from the lame MTV dance-off show) talks about how she needs a support system. Hey, isn't this the guy that got her broken up from Timberlake? Yeah, real good friend he was/is.

PS: She's older then pregnant Jamie Lynn in this if you can believe it...

Now this is a cover...

BRIT's FIGHT TO GET WELL

Bipolar and locked in a psych ward, Spears has no one to trust as she loses control to parents she 'hates'

Sam Lutfi, who is now on the receiving end of a restraining order imposed by Britney Spears' parents, was the one person by her side as she unraveled over the past six months.

In the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, Spears' de facto manager and confidant opens up about her bipolar disorder, how he medicated her, what happened the night she was hospitalized, and how her parents reacted.

"In the depressive episodes, it's all crying," Lutfi tells Us. "But in the manic episode, there's very little crying or sympathy or compassion. She becomes another person. She becomes somebody that just doesn't care about anybody or anything."

"The British accent is part of the mania," he adds. "She'll stick to the British accent because she becomes comfortable with it... But you know, when the pink wig comes on, it's getting bad."

See even back then Britney liked Cheetos. It's funny cause she says Madonna's so fit even though she's had a baby and she hopes she looks that good at 40.

She has a grammy sleepover with friends... her friends are the girl group "innosense" which she actually was a part of in 1997. (Wiki)

Old interview with Britney on Access Hollywood talking about her lil sister.

"My sister is a handful," she said. "She is Miss Diva, she is so full of herself." Britney said, "She'll be able to handle [the business] better than me. If anything I'll try to be getting advice from her!"

Just for fun, Britney acting crazy while filming her reality show "Chaotic" where she declares that she's been missing out on life... and things. She feels like she's behind or something. Plus she wonders if Back to the Future is possible. This is classic...
