By Jocelyn Vena Views 6,948 Possibly more than anyone on Earth, Britney Spears' life is constantly documented by the media, which voraciously reports on the singer's every step and misstep. But what's it like to be in her shoes? With her new album, Circus, set for release in just a few weeks, the singer is ready to show the world her side of the story. Britney has joined forces with MTV for a 90-minute documentary about her return to the pop-music spotlight. Tentatively titled "For the Record," the special is set to air on November 30 at 10 p.m. on MTV, two days before Circus is released on December 2 (the singer's 27th birthday). "So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there's a lot that people don't know about me that I want them to know," Spears told MTV News in a statement about the special. "I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn't being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I've been through and where I'm headed." The documentary combines personal stories with behind-the-scenes footage of her comeback. Cameras follow her to the recording studio, to rehearsals, to press tours, to the video shoot for her latest single, "Womanizer," and even to her hometown in Louisiana. Backstage footage from her recent triumphant appearance at the Video Music Awards is also featured. Through it all, we hear Britney talking about the hardships that led up to this comeback. "I've been through a lot, and there's a lot people don't know," she says in the film. "Sometimes it can get lonely 'cause you don't open the gate. I'm stuck in this place, and I just cope every day." Britney also owns up to the mistakes the world has watched her make, and offers some telling insight into how she feels about it all now. "I sit there and I look back," she says, before asking rhetorically: "I'm a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?" "For the Record" airs Sunday, November 30 at 10 p.m. ET on MTV.

October 10, 200816 yr I so can't wait to see this. Will this be the one on the DVD in her Deluxe Edition of 'Circus'? :unsure:
October 10, 200816 yr Author Yeah thats what I'm thinking it is! THIS WILL BE FRICKIN HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. :w00t: YOUTUBE: fxTHMjbT8G8
October 10, 200816 yr OMG I really hope she does comment on everything thats gone on, should be so interesting.
October 10, 200816 yr I think this in an incredibly brave thing to do. I also think it's helpful to Britney as a person, and her 'recovery'. Firstly, because her music tends not to really deal with isues such as she's been through - so it doesn't get out there. And, secondly, because I think the past 2-3 years have been such a vital part of shaping who she is, and who she is becoming that you can't just ignore it.

October 10, 200816 yr AHH can't wait for this to air! BRIT IS AWESOME! :D It's great that she's doing this to clear everything up! Just saw this featured on Inside Edition as well!
October 11, 200816 yr "I sit there and I look back, I'm a smart person. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!?" Best quote ever!
October 14, 200816 yr I still think that its gonna be a long road to recovery, people are quick to say she's back, but you dont switch from day to night. Obviously this will be a long process, and you can tell in some recent pics that she's still got those dead eyes, so its gonna take a long while til she feels beautiful INSIDE and out.
October 14, 200816 yr I think the true test to see if Britney has truly recovered or is still on the path to recovery is to see what happens when the conservatorship ends! Then she'll be on her own again and making more decisions for her self!
October 16, 200816 yr Author I think only people close to Britney can attest to if she has fully recovered. ANYWAYS... 45 days left until this and 47 days until 'Circus' :D
