I on the way here I saw a guy on a motorcycle

and he had a beautiful beard and a motorcycle hat really sexy a motorcycle hat or a helmet Okay,

and so you like a man with a beard LAUGHTER Have you got a motorcycle helmet now?

LAUGHTER The missing component.

Tell me a little bit about growing up, Little Brittany when you were growing up, because you were born in Louisiana, weren't you?

Yes.

What was home life like for you when you were young?

Well, I was a country girl, and I was very into ball.

I was never a cheerleader or anything like that.

I was a tomboy.

So, I was just a mama's girl.

I loved food.

My dad owns a restaurant.

He was into a construction building.

And just normal.

Just a normal southern...yeah.

Where do you live now?

Do you live in Los Angeles or do you live in Las Vegas?

Because you have the big show going on in Vegas.

I have two homes.

I have one in Las Vegas and one in LA.

And the Las Vegas show has been a huge success for you, hasn't it?

Yes, it has.

How much time of the year do you spend in Vegas?

Probably...60% of the time.

And the show itself, it must be pretty exhausting, I guess every night

or nearly every night it's three nights a week oh that's

easy that's easy okay well you could you could get another job then to make ends meet uh

but is it a party town

when you're there do you go out much do you have fun like that

or are you aware of the partying that's going on around

i am aware of the party that's going on a lot

of the people um are very intoxicated yes during the shows

and the food is great when i've been to see shows in vegas uh often it seems to be with the audience, they are enjoying the performance,

but you're right, they've already had a couple of what we would call sharpeners.

Yes.

Before the show.

Have you encountered that?

Have you had an audience sometimes?

I was actually, I got contact high.

I haven't smoked weed since I was like 17 years old.

And all of a sudden, towards the end of the show, like, I mean, it was so strong, I couldn't function.

Because I got just the contact of it, I was like, oh my goodness.

So I was like, I had to leave.

I had to go.

How can you leave your own show though?

What happens if you've left?

I kind of just, I say I can't do it anymore.

Well maybe they were so high, they didn't notice.

They didn't notice.

So you stay near the show I guess?

You're not in the same building as the show, but you stay pretty nearby?

Yes.

But you're not kept awake by the partying, are you?

You don't have carousing going on near you?

I do.

You do?

Yes.

There's parties all around.

Wow.

So how do you, what do you do?

Do you go and join in, or do you blank it out?

I just don't go in there.

They're private parties.

I suspect if you wanted to go in, they'd probably let you in.

I'd have to see if...

There's a lot of drugs involved.

Oh, OK.

What, to get you into a party?

No!

No, a lot of drugs involved.

Oh, inside, you don't want to go near that.

100

Of course not, you're Britney.

101

You wouldn't go near that.

102

You know, I was talking about you growing up in Louisiana.

103

How old were you when you first appeared in the Mickey Mouse Club?

104

You were just a kid still, weren't you?

105

I was 12.

106

12 years old.

107

But you'd auditioned for it before, hadn't you?

108

Yes.

109

I was eight.

110

So you were eight and you didn't get the part.

111

Now how did you, how did the eight year old deal with that?

112

Because that's a pretty big blow to get, isn't it?

113

Yes.

114

Well actually I was with a girlfriend and we all went as a pack of six girls together.

115

And we went and we didn't make it.

116

But it was just really fun because it was the impact of all the kids there, the energy and it was really cool.

117

Well, incredible training ground, I would have thought, to go on to be a performer.

118

Because so many, you know, the kind of year you were there, you had incredible people.

119

I was amazed.

120

I hadn't realised Ryan Gosling was one of the Disney kids as well.

121

And of course, Justin was there, Christian Aguilera, I mean, just huge.

122

I'm hoping it was fun as well as it being fun to watch.

123

Oh, it was probably one of the funnest times of my life.

124

We all lived in the same community, and we had a schedule every day, and it was just, it was fun.

125

It was a lot of fun.

126

So, one question, you know, I've always wanted to ask you this, is you've been in the public eye since you were 12?

127

Yes.

128

Because that was a huge show, wasn't it?

129

Do you ever fantasise, do you ever wonder what life would be like if you hadn't been?

130

Do you have a kind of...

131

I do.

132

I kind of go like I have this thing where I go into denial a little bit

133

and I'll put a hat on and I just pretend like I'm like everybody else

134

and I'll go out and it really usually works because no one pays you any attention.

135

So sort of a disguise?

136

It's like a disguise, yeah.

137

And so what do you do when you're going like that?

138

What sort of things do you want to do?

139

I'll just take my dog for a walk or I'll go shopping or I'll do just like normal stuff.

140

And when you have to become Britney again, does that feel weird?

141

Well, it's like, well I'm used to my show.

142

It's like a character change.

143

It's kind of like I'm a performer.

144

So I know how to mentally adjust my head to go there in character.

145

It's not me It's not who I am at all, but it's like it's part of what I do.

146

So what would the real Brittany be like then?

147

Honestly, I'm kind of boring.

148

I'm really boring.

149

Yeah, I'm boring.

150

I Love movies.

151

I love hot I know it sounds so boring, but I'm not like this like you know Crazy like go out girl What's a great night for you then?

152

What's a great night?

153

What's a really lovely at night when you're not working a night well spent a movie?

154

What I'm done by your girl your wife.

155

Oh, yeah, all my oh my girlfriend.

156

They both make movies I love the beginning because it plays the rock song yeah,

157

and it's like I'm a nerd.

158

I'm sorry I'm just like yeah, it's so cool.

159

Um That's my favorite movie.

160

Oh, thank you

161

And then what else you do you like to order food

162

in you like to cook do you cook I cook I can

163

and I like I like a lot of different rices I like rice and Jambalaya

164

She said she was boring what did you expect?

165

I think that's an exclusive we've got out of her right here.

166

I Just hope you don't regret saying that okay.

167

It's gonna be head like more Brittany's rice addiction Four bags a day Desperate for Uncle Ben Okay

168

We had a brief chat before the show I know you

169

have two young men in your life your sons of course

170

And they're twelve eleven now and they're rockin' eleven ten and eleven

171

And I saw that you threw a Pokemon party for them.

172

Yes recently so they're just into the the things

173

that regular kids their age are into Yes now one of them he's sort of like Becoming a DJ is that right?

174

Yeah his father is a DJ and he's actually gonna give his dad a run for his money Wow, he's a very very good.

175

He's he actually when I recorded my record I would bring it home

176

and let him listen to a lot of the songs he was like mom This isn't really good.

177

He would tell me like straight up and I was like really okay

178

But I really do respect his his ear

179

because he knows you know like he has the generation the young generation Completely knows

180

and so but at night that we do have like little clubs

181

and parties at the house And he have our laser lights going on

182

and he like he plays yeah I mentioned earlier when you're single, is it easy for you to meet people?

183

I mean, or is it kind of tricky because of who you are and because you have to be wary, I suppose, of people?

184

It's a little tricky.

185

I have a friend at home and he randomly sets me up with people every now and then on dates.

186

And it's just awkward because there's so many times that you meet people and it's just like too awkward.

187

Why, because they have an idea of you that you're not or vice versa?

188

Well, I will say there's been two days that have been kind of cool.

189

Other than that, it's just too much.

190

I went with this one guy and he looked like a lizard.

191

Like, I was so scared.

192

I keep saying this and I turned on my...

193

I was like, oh my God!

194

I was like, holy shit, he looks just like a lizard.

195

And I had to go.

196

It was really bad.

197

So you just left?

198

Wow.

199

Immediately.

200

Wow.

201

No one can judge you for that.

202

But I need to ask, which one of your friends set you up with the lizard man?

203

I know, I was so mad at him, I called him, I was very angry.

204

Did you say he's a lizard?

205

Yes, and he said, oh my God, his picture's, I guess it's just he doesn't look that in the picture.

206

So who are you looking for?

207

What are you looking for?

208

I guess certain qualities?

209

Um, I like someone that's just nice.

210

Overall, just a nice guy is really...

211

..is, um, groundbreaking, yeah, in this world That sounds pretty achievable to me,

212

but I don't know but some people seem to think maybe there aren't that a lot of men are about games

213

It's just the mind game with guys, you know the calling back and it's just too much.

214

It's just silly So they're not wanting you to think they're too keen Yeah, it's just silly.

215

But I would have thought, I don't know if you know this, but you're Britney Spears and I would have thought they would be keen.

216

Aw, no. But maybe they're thinking,

217

OK, she's famous and she will think I'm crazy if I keep calling her, pestering her.

218

Actually, I'm not looking for men right now.

219

I'm really happy with myself.

220

Ah, so what are you looking for?

221

There's absolutely no way you should define yourself by a relationship.

222

I'm not looking for anything.

223

I'm fine with the way I am.

224

And you seem in a really good place right now.

225

Would that be a safe thing to say?

226

Yes, sir.

227

OK, so you're pretty happy, pretty...

228

That's good tonight.

229

LAUGHTER Now, Britney said she was up to have some fun this evening. And so...

230

And of course, she's going to perform for us at the end of the night, which is exciting.

231

LAUGHTER So we thought we would play a game of Never Have I Ever, and we asked the audience when you came in whether you would write some questions down.

232

Did you write some questions down for us?

233

Yeah!

234

So I've got this for you.

235

This is...

236

You hold that sign up if you have done something.

237

Sorry.

238

So I have some questions for the audience here.

239

Never have I ever worn the same underwear two days in a row.

240

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER No?

241

Wow.

242

I mean, if this had said five days, it would be the same answer for me.

243

That's going to be good, but that's nice.

244

OK, let's do another one.

245

Here we go.

246

Never have I ever re-gifted something that was given to me as a gift.

247

All the time.

248

Yeah.

249

Yeah.

250

Oh, this one's got a name, it's from Daniel, and you already did...

251

Never have I ever made love listening to one of my own records.

252

LAUGHTER Can you play me?

253

OK, now I want...

254

Are you being totally honest here?

255

I want you to be totally honest.

256

This is going to be the last one.

257

I want you to be 100% honest here.

258

Never have I ever farted while performing performing

259

let me talk about some of the the britney looks over the years

260

when you look back on them how do you feel about

261

the way you looked in those videos the outfits you wore let's start with

262

that one i just actually wore thighs today for the first time in 10 years

263

so and the hair do you ever do your hair like

264

that no no never not even for special occasions no the

265

next one now this was oops i did it again uh

266

and this was the i believe kevin baker owns that suit now

267

but um was that uncomfortable to filming yes it was very

268

Because I was so hot on the inside

269

so we just kept on having to put powder in there

270

so I could it wouldn't stick Is that someone's job doing that?

271

Yes You still have that no you have any of your old outfits?

272

It's in the theater in Vegas So they have on display and display yes, that's cool.

273

Oh here you go That's not actually an outfit those are just hand diamonds painted on me well glued on me Wow.

274

But not glued directly, were they glued on your body or on a bodysuit?

275

Glued on my body.

276

On the skin?

277

Yes.

278

How do you get them off afterwards?

279

I don't remember what I did.

280

You might still have some on your nail.

281

LAUGHTER When you sit down, is there ever a sharp pain in your butt?

282

Because you might still...

283

I cough up diamonds sometimes.

284

LAUGHTER OK, that's a great look, though.

285

I mean, that's a bold look.

286

Thank you.

287

And so, what about other performers?

288

Do you ever look at...

289

I mean, do you have to avoid being too similar?

290

Say you see something that Rihanna's wearing or someone else, do you think, I can't go there because she's got that market?

291

Actually, they do open your mind a little bit more.

292

I mean, like Rihanna, she performed at the VMAs, and she was like...

293

It was so odd.

294

She was in Baby Pink, and, like, you wouldn't...

295

Cos she's so rock and roll, you'd never think to beat her to be in Baby Pink, but it was so random for her, but it was fucking dope.

296

Yeah, well done.

297

You've got to love Wee Wee.

298

Yeah, I love her.

299

The VMAs, the VMAs was...

300

You appeared at the VMAs with the snake that time, didn't you?

301

Yes.

302

OK, now, so presumably that...

303

And that's a live snake.

304

That's a live snake.

305

Were you screamish at all or were you already snake friendly?

306

I was on adrenaline.

307

So I really was just going through the motions.

308

In rehearsals, I broke out in hives though, everywhere.

309

But I was like, you know what, we'll just do it and we'll get it over, it'll be fine.

310

So when we actually did it, the snake, when I came to give it away, its head went right in my face and its tongue sist at me Before I gave it away.

311

It was insane.

312

It was insane.

313

Do your kids like watching you perform?

314

Do they go to the show ever?

315

Because it would be kind of because you're sexy on stage.

316

They go to half of the show They don't watch the whole thing.

317

Okay.

318

Yeah, so is there a sexier half?

319

My niece actually she's five.

320

She watches the whole show Yeah, and she's crazy and she comes in she comes into the quick change with me and she's like Hey, Britney, how'd you do that?

321

She's just like, she's so animated, she's so much fun.

322

How many changes do you get through?

323

You get through a lot of costume changes.

324

Eight.

325

Eight changes?

326

Mm-hmm.

327

Just getting changed that often in one night would be too much for me.

328

Never mind performing as well.

329

Because you're in great shape.

330

I mean, you must be super fit right now to be able to do that show that often.

331

Yeah.

332

I've been doing it for three years now, so my body kind of knows, you know.

333

And what do you do to keep in shape the rest of the time?

334

Is it gym?

335

Is it sports?

336

I run a lot.

337

And you like running?

338

No. Hate it, but I have to do it.

339

I mean playing tennis as well.

340

Yes, okay.

341

Okay.

342

I like to play tennis I'm not particularly good.

343

I like playing tennis and I thought well Why don't we play a version of you know that game beer pong?

344

You don't know beer pong I've heard of it.

345

I've never played it.

346

It's an American game.

347

I think okay You bounce a ping-pong ball into a cup Okay, and then the way they play in the bars you have

348

to drink what's in the cup now We're using slightly larger cups.

349

We figured we won't drink the content So we thought we'd do it instead, that if I get a ball in, you have to do whatever forfeit is linked to that cup and vice versa.

350

All right, I'll follow you.

351

So there are forfeits involved in this special game of Britney ping-ping...

352

This special game of Britney beer pong.

353

Spear pong.

354

Let's call it spear pong.

355

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So I'm going to give you the pink balls, if you like wee-wees.

356

I'm gonna go with the syllables.

357

There's the cups and and then I get one you can go first

358

If you get one in I have to do whatever for me you can you can have either

359

That is really bad looks like Spears is gonna have a forfeit Look alone Britas Oh!

360

Hit the other person That's my go I'm glad I didn't get that would be horrible

361

LAUGHTER LAUGHTER Yes!

362

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh!

363

You've got to kiss Alexander Skarsgård.

364

What?!

365

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Take that, you can take that.

366

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I shouldn't say this, because you won't believe how much money he gave me to put that in the store.

367

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's it!

368

She'll never call me.

369

LAUGHTER Good luck, Wendy.

370

OK, so...

371

My turn.

372

It's your turn.

373

CHEERS CHEERS That was bad!

374

375

378

Thank you, thank you.

379

Yeah!

380

Helium Challenge!

381

OK, so one of us, which means you, has to suck down some helium...

382

Really?

383

..and sing.

384

Now, we've been asked to say you shouldn't do this at home.

385

OK, so, you've got the one here.

386

So, what song do you want to sing?

387

You can sing one of your own, you can sing a popular song, something we all know.

388

But get a good old...

389

Shake it off, shake it off, shake it off!

390

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oops, I did it again...

392

She's going to perform for us at the end of the evening.

393

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
