Britney in 2007 ....

A few days later, a brighter-eyed Brit-Brit issued a Letter of Truth in which she prematurely declared, "I am now more mature and feel like I am finally 'free.'" And part of that apparent freedom involved a hookup with aspiring model Isaac Cohen, a brief encounter that peaked with a weekend trip to Vegas, where they holed up in a $40,000-a-night suite (the loose-lipped Cohen later blabbed about their dalliance to the tabs).

JANUARY

Rarely has the start of a new year so accurately forecast what the next 12 months would hold. Britney Spears rang in 2007 by hosting a blowout bash in Las Vegas, the city that has been witness to some of her most boneheaded moves (case in point: her ill-starred starter marriage to Jason Alexander). The id-propelled starlet's New Year's Eve pledge to "take care" of herself barely lasted past midnight, when she reportedly collapsed at the party. Tap-danced then-manager Larry Rudolph to the Associated Press, "She was not drunk. She was just tired and falling asleep." (Chris Weeks/WireImage.com)

Britney in 2007 ....

It was all about Britney Spears in 2007. Not that we weren't warned. On New Year's Eve, the stubbornly senseless attention addict was exceedingly clear about where her focus would lie, offering up a resolution that was both telling and breathtaking in its self-centeredness: "Just to take care of me more." Yes, Britney's wants and needs were all that mattered to her in 2007, and her desire to fulfill them cost her dearly, resulting in the loss of her hair, her personal relationships, her dignity, her sense of reality and, most shamefully, her adorable tots, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Tempted to feel sympathy for the onetime pop princess-turned-tabloid-topping, paparazzi-courting cautionary tale? Don't make any rash decisions until you read about the year that was all Britney, all the time ... (X17Online.com)

SCHOOL ASKS PARENTS TO STOP PESTERING JOLIE and PITT

From Young Hollywood

Parents whose children attend the same school as ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT's adopted son MADDOX have been asked to respect the superstar couple's privacy in a letter.
Officials at the Lycee Francais De New York school want parents to stop pestering Jolie and Pitt for autographs when they drop off and pick up their kids.
The letter, from the school's director of operations Dan Cooke, reads: "Regretfully, I have seen some parents taking pictures, asking for autographs, talking to the media and even shouting at Ms. Jolie and Mr. Pitt for recognition.
"Therefore, in the best interests of the school and safety of your child(ren), I must ask for everyone to please respect the family's privacy and discontinue these practices."
Cooke goes on to make clear that Jolie and Pitt were keen to avoid any disruption: "I want to make you aware that before the first day of school, I met with their security team to discuss the best manner for them to drop off and pick up their son.
"Our foremost goal was to cause the least amount of disruption to the school and to ensure the security of all of our students and families."

SPEARS: 'EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF ME'

From Young Hollywood

BRITNEY SPEARS has voiced her disdain at the media frenzy that constantly surrounds her - hitting out at everyone for always wanting "a piece" of her.
The outburst appears on new song Piece Of Me from her as-yet-untitled forthcoming album, which is expected to hit stores in November (07).
But the lyrics on the track give the public an insight into the 25-year-old's state of mind, and her hatred of the world's press always commenting on her appearance and personal life.
She sings: "I'm Mrs American Dream, since 17, they want a piece of me.
"I'm successful, rich and famous, I'm Mrs Oh My God, I'm Britney, Shameless.
"I'm Mrs Extra, Extra, This Just In, I'm Mrs She's Too Big, She's Too Thin."
Spears has been in the public eye since her debut single, Baby One More Time, became a worldwide hit in 1999.
She has more recently hit the headlines for her alleged drug use and stint in rehab, her divorce from dancer Kevin Federline, and her dismal comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month (Sep07).
