Britney Spears and her train wreck of a marriage to Kevin Federline will be highlighted in a 6-episode series. Here's the article from People.com
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are taking their lives together to UPN for a six-episode reality series due to premiere before the end of next month, Variety reports.
"From the day that Kevin and I met, there have been constant rumors and inaccurate speculation about our lives together," Spears said in a statement. "I feel that last year the tabloids ran my life and I am really excited about showing my fans what really happened rather than all the stories, which have been misconstrued by journalists in the past. As I mentioned before, I am now going to be expressing my personal life through art."
The series will trace their courtship, engagement and wedding, and consist of previously shot footage supplemented by new observations and scenes, says the trade paper.
UPN entertainment president Dawn Ostroff says the series will allow the couple to "tell their love story their way."
While Spears, 23, and Federline, 27, filmed most of the footage themselves (and will host the show), the network executive said the series would not be merely self-promotional puffery.
"I don't think there's anything sugarcoated about this," said Ostroff. "It's pretty raw and pretty real. I don't think (viewers) have ever been exposed to people being so honest and open about their lives."
oh boy. i know they were lobbying to get the "newlyweds" spot on mtv when it was rumored that nick & jessica weren't going to do it anymore. this seems so sad and low-rent, though. and "i am now going to be expressing my personal life though art"--mm, what?
oh Brit...so naive you are. does she not realize that television producers can edit shows to tell whatever story they want? i am certain that her "stories" will be "miscontrued" once again. and i'm pretty sure when she said that she was going to "express herself through her art" from now on, that she was speaking in reference to NOT putting her personal life out there for everyone to see, so how is this different again??
but i'll definitely be watching. because i can't tear myself away.
