Teen Queens: Then and Now

I feel like I'm back in the millennium. No, it's not because someone mentioned Y2K, or because I found a Furbie in my attic...It's because all of my favorite teen queens are in the news. I grew up on these first ladies of POP, and thought you Breakers would be interested in what they did first starting out, up until today. Here is my VERY concise recap-

Britney Spears:

Okay, if you haven't followed Britney's career I can safely assume you have been living under a rock. Brit Brit got her start on The Mickey Mouse Club. Soon after, she was snatched up by Jive Records to be the resident TEEN POP QUEEN of the early 2000's. As Britney grew older, her image became more sexy. We watched her grown up before our very eyes. She was at the top of her game, and then she met dancer Kevin Federline. After a slew of white trash moments with her new hubby, and popping out two kids in a matter of two years, Britney went crazy. You remember right? Head shaving...Smashing cars with umbrellas....Locking herself in a house to be taken out on a stretcher....The dreaded VMA comeback performance.

Since then, Britney has cleaned up her act. She is attempting to be a model momma to her two boys, has a stable boyfriend, and an album, Femme Fatale, that dropped yesterday. I don't care what the girl has done, I still love her!

Christina Aguilera:

This diva-licious songbird got her start just like Miss Spears, in The Mickey Mouse Club. When she graduated from Disney, Christina came out of her good girl shell and released the very sexy, Genie In A Bottle. After a string of sex driven albums, Xtina settled down with American music marketer, Jordan Bratman. After having her son, Max, and going through a messy divorce with Bratman, Christina has kept herself in the headlines. She most recently was caught out on a string of wild drunken nights with new flame, Matthew Rutler, and even has a mug shot to prove it. Miss Aguilera is ready to redeem herself with a new NBC show, The Voice, where she will act as a vocal coach to competing contestants.   

Jessica Simpson:

She started off as a virginal singer, and actually stayed that way until her marriage to Nick Lachey. Since her divorce from the boy band hunk, Simpson is in the news for far more than her just her voice. It seems like everyone is always talking about her fluctuating weight or who she is dating.

These POPular women know how to surf the wave of fame, controversy, weight gain, and wipe-outs included.
