And it’s not just music Britney is working on. She confirmed she is interested in doing more acting, following her successful appearance on “How I Met Your Mother,” which helped the show achieve its best ever ratings.

“I’d love to, if I can find the right movie,” Brit said when asked about continuing her thespian streak. “Actually, I have a part that just came up. We’re just trying to work it out with my schedule, with the children.”

Though it was unclear from the excerpts released at press time by OK! whether Britney addressed her hospitalizations of early 2008, her run ins with the paparazzi or the conservatorship protection she is under until the end of October, her father and co-conservator, Jamie Spears, provided some answers to OK!

Jamie said the conservatorship of his daughter will come to a close, though he hopes it will last just a bit longer, for Britney’s sake.

“I would hope it stands until the end of the year, and then we’ll sit back and evaluate where we are at that time, where Britney is at that time,” he said.

The conservatorship reunited father and daughter, who in the past had moments where they were estranged from one another.

“It’s wonderful,” he said of their relationship. “It is new for both of us. She sometimes calls me 50 times a day and asks me things that light my life up. But like all daughters, she is very manipulative and cunning. So she gets what she wants a lot.”

Jamie also said that despite the troubles that previously affected the pop star, there was a silver lining – their new relationship and his relationship with his grandsons.

“God has a way of taking something bad and turning it into something good,” Jamie told OK! “If this hadn’t happened, I would never have been able to get back with my daughter and have this relationship I have with these two little boys.”

In related news, Jamie also explained why Britney and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, settled their custody dispute over their two children, without going to trial.

“Britney and Kevin wanted to settle… The trial that was coming up was for permanent custody. It made no sense for that trial to proceed so we worked out an agreement. The agreement says that on Oct. 1 we’ll probably get another overnight, and that will stay in place until the end of the year or the end of the conservatorship,” he said.

As for how Jamie feels about Kevin, he offered a mixed answer.

“Kevin has a wonderful heart. I don’t agree with giving him more money,” Jamie said.

From her nasty divorce and custody battle to her now-infamous performance at the 2007 VMAs to the dark period under the control of “manager” Sam Lutfi, it’s safe to say that the last two years were not the best in the young life of Britney Spears.

And now, one year after an erratic and distracted Brit stormed out of an OK! photoshoot, a very different woman sits down to talk openly about her two adorable sons, her father and the future of her nearly sidetracked career.

Having spent her young life in the spotlight, the 26-year-old mother of two tells OK! that she hopes her boys choose not to choose a career in entertainment. “I’d love them unconditionally if they wanted to,” she explains. “I’d just as soon they have a more normal childhood.

Perhaps some of Britney’s reluctance comes from seeing her little sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, have to face so much public scrutiny over her recent pregnancy. “I was shocked a little bit,” says Brit. “She’s always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling.”

The pop superstar also tells OK! that she wants her boys to be close to her newborn niece. “I’m sure the boys will be like big brothers to Maddie,” she says.

In an unexpected twist, Britney’s downward spiral in recent years ultimately helped to heal the bonds between the singer and her parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears.

“God has a way of taking something bad and turning it into something good,” explains Jamie, who also spoke exclusively to OK!. “If this hadn’t happened, I would never have been able to get back with my daughter and have this relationship I have with these two little boys.” 

Another positive that’s risen out of her darkest days is Britney’s new album, which she expects to hit stores in six to nine months. “I think it is more urban,” she tells OK!. “I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room… This is my best work ever.”

Whilst the big “will she/won’t she?” question looms over the MTV Video Music Awards like an overdose hangs over Pete Doherty, one thing is certain - she will, at the very least, be there.  And to promote the fact that one of the world’s biggest stars will be strutting her way back into the limelight at the event, MTV have commissioned a bunch of adverts featuring Britney and the host of their year’s festivities, Russell Brand.

They’re nothing to write home about (despite the HILARITY of having a big elephant in the room with Britney), but it is good to see Britney stringing coherent sentences together, laughing and looking polished and ready.  As to whether she’ll make the big comeback performance on the night?  My guess would be a yes, but then again, Britney has not been even vaguley predictable for a good long time.

And if that wasn’t proof enough that “Brand Britney” (very clever Russell ;) ) is back in action and running on full, the PR campaign takes off Friday when OK! Magazine will publish the first interview and photoshoot with Britney Spears in many, many long months.

 

Just over a year ago, Britney Spears made headlines around the world when she experienced an embarrassing meltdown at an OK! photo shoot, ruining thousands of dollars of designer clothing and doing further damage to a once brilliant career that had already been tarnished by late-night pantyless parties with Paris Hilton, multiple trips to rehab and the infamous public head-shaving incident.

Now, in an exclusive interview with OK!, the pop superstar is finally going on the record to talk openly about her kids, her parents and her career.

In addition to the exclusive photos and interview with Britney, her father Jamie Spears, who has been helping to guide his daughter back to a normal life, speaks openly to OK! about his relationship with Britney and his feelings about her ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Check back with OKmagazine.com on Wednesday morning for your first, revealing look at OK!’s interview with Hollywood’s most controversial superstar.
