Britney sets the record straight
Updated on 01 December 2008
Britney Spears has returned to America ahead of the UK screening of a documentary about her life.
Britney: For The Record, shows the pop singer talking candidly about her troubled life, losing custody of her children and her battle to remain in control of her own affairs.
Film crews followed the singer for three months and films her with fellow star Madonna.
The singer made her first UK television performance in over four years on the X Factor Saturday night, attracting a record number of viewers for the reality show.
The pop singer, who turns 27 on Tuesday, mimed her way through her latest single Womanizer after the five remaining finalists each covered a classic Britney track.
Spears, who was dressed all in black, with hotpants, fishnet tights and knee-high boots, did not coach the show's contestants, as previous guests have done.
But the judging panel gave her a standing ovation along with an excited crowd.
The singer has been on a whistle-stop tour of Europe ahead of the release of her sixth studio album, Circus.
