In a recent interview with Rolling Stone on Britney’s latest comeback she stated that she felt like she was an “old person” now.
“I feel like an old person now,” she says one afternoon, as a manicurist applies rhinestones and girly pink lacquer to her chewed-up nails. “I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don’t go out or anything, you know what I mean? I just feel like an old fart.”
How endearing. I’m sure we are all very convinced that she is living the life of an old lady. Clearly she will be sending out her wedding invitations soon and living the life of a laid back family girl. That is until we see her dancing naked in a club or something.
The interview itself just sounds like the spin she was able to pull off when she first came onto the scene. She was a “virgin” then apparently, and had people believing that she was just an innocent little girl. It worked and she became a superstar. Sounds like she is trying to go back to those days of innocence, but says that her album is a “little dirty”.
Spears has always been like this: silly, sweet, humble. She has never been very articulate, but she always tries to be accommodating. Tonight, she’s listening to mixes and finishing work on a track called “Lace and Leather.” When I ask how she knows if a song is going to be a hit, she says, “You just hear it, and you’re like, oh, my God, if somebody else takes this song, you’re gonna kill yourself, you know what I mean? Like, this one I’m doing tonight, I think it’s good, and it’s, like, really quirky and different and girly.”
“A little naughty,” says her manager, Larry Rudolph, 45, sitting nearby in a T-shirt and jeans.
“A little naugh-tay,” Spears agrees, sounding half-embarrassed.
