Before They Were Stars: Middle child of James and Lynn Spears, Britney Spears started winning awards for her singing and dancing from an early age. Her mother moved Britney and her sister Jamie to New York to enroll Britney in Manhattanâs Professional Performing Arts School. Soon, she appeared on Star Search and landed a spot on The Mickey Mouse Club in 1992 with Christina Aguilera and future public romance Justin Timberlake.
Where Are They Now: In 1999, Britney released her debut album, âŠBaby One More Time, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 list catapaulting Spears into pop stardom. Her followup albums were wildly successful and lead to buzz-worthy performances at MTVâs VMAs, a starring role in 2002âs Crossroads, a short-lived restaurant, and numerous fragrances. Spears has been married twice and has two children, often gracing tabloids because of personal and family problems. In 2011, she released her 7th album and planned a world tour.

It sounds sort of naughty, doesnât it? Itâs the powerful star taking advantage of an underling. But fear not, we present here stories of true love (sort of) that have lasted the test of time (sometimes) between celebs and their makeup artists, nannies, bodyguards, and more.

We all know a good colorist can transform a womanâs look, either good or bad. In Hollywood, sometimes a role dictates an actressâs new hair color or sometimes new color can break an actress out of typecasting. With some ladies, their hair is practically a trademark, so you might be surprised at the natural hair color of many a Hollywood hottie. Let Snakkle reveal some of Hollywoodâs best luscious lock secrets.
