Britney opens up on turbulent past

Britney Spears has spilled the beans on her turbulent life in a new MTV documentary.

A trailer for the 90 minute programme Britney: For the Record, has been posted on her You Tube page.

The singer reflects back on the last few years which saw her have a very public breakdown and shave her head.

In the trailer she said: "I've been through a lot in the past two or three years and there's a lot people don't know.

"Sometimes it can get kind of lonely because you don't open the gate up that much. You're guarded - you have to be that way so I'm stuck in this place and it's like how do you deal and you just cope. That's what I do, I just cope with it every day.

Britney's official video for latest single Womanizer is about to premiere in the US.

She said: "I've recorded a lot of songs and it's the process where the fun stuff starts.

"It never stopped being fun for me. I really always liked what I did."

In the documentary she is expected to touch upon her stays in a psychiatric facility and the custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

"I'll sit there and I'll look back and I'm like 'I'm a smart person', like what the hell was thinking."

The documentary will air on November 30 - just two days before her new album Circus comes out.
