Raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears first  appeared on national television in 1992 as a contestant on the Star  Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television  series The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. In 1997, Spears  signed a recording contract with Jive, releasing her debut album ...Baby  One More Time in 1999.

Spears released her sixth studio album Circus on  her 27th birthday in December 2008.
Britney Spears has some Kabbalah symbols on the back of her neck. It is  suppose to translate to "healing". But there has been many reports  claiming that the three symbols are out of order so her tattoo doesn't  really mean anything. She has a fairy on her lower back, a small daisy  circling her second toe on right foot, a butterfly leaving a vine on  left foot, and a flower with Chinese symbol for mystery in middle on  lower stomach. Spears has three Hebrew characters on the back of her  neck - her Kabala connection - and a pair of pink dice inside left  wrist, in addition to a small star on her right hand. During her recent  meltdown she added two more tattoos, red and pink lips on her wrist, and  a black, white and pink cross on lower hip. Other body modifications  include a pierced belly button and right nipple.
