Posted July 14, 200916 yr http://i31.tinypic.com/261p2y8.jpg Translation: We met Britney Spears, who talks about depression, surviving and formula 1. Britney Spears has a concert in Finland next Thursday and she has already taken the time to admire Finnish guys. A few years back during her visit in Europe, she was watching the formula 1 races on tv and a blond finnish guy caught her attention. “I noticed that the Finns dominate motorsport. Kimi Räikkönen is a true fighter and also really cute”, Britney tells Iltalehti. The 27-year-old’s records have sold over 87 million copies worldwide, but her career has had few bumps on the road. A few years ago Britney suffered from deep depression. Her marriage fell apart around the same time. Now she is rumored to have gotten married to her agent Jason Trawick. "I've done some stupid things, but I take full responsibility of them. For the last few years my life has been crazy and like a rollercoaster ride. Maybe now the good times will start", Britney says. "You can read about my mistakes from the papers, and I don't have to explain them anymore. I hope that people appreciate my work and won’t get hung up on my stupid mistakes.” Britney assures that her troubles have helped her grow into a mature woman and she knows how to appreciate the basic things in life. “I do housework every day. Washing dishes and cleaning are a part of my daily routines, even though I hate doing them. “Fame has toughen me up. I’m not a little girl anymore.” Spears brings her The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 –tour to Finland next week. International media has given the show a thumbs-down, but the show is still said to be a true spectacle. “I’m doing some of my older and newer hits, and the pace won’t slow down at any time. I believe that the fans will have a great experience”, Britney says. The 2-hour show consists of 50 dancers, magicians, clowns, acrobats and a band. The entire tour has a staff of about 200 people, dozens of trucks and almost 60 000 kilos of tour equipment. The tour is set to be worth over 50 million. Sexy costumes and on stage visuals have sparked discussion in many of the fans’ families. "It's not like I come on stage naked", Britney laughs. “On stage visuals are really important and I want to be an impressive/interesting persona. Thanks to Jen for the translation!
