Bitter Britney bares all

First she gave Madonna an open-mouth kiss, now peppery provocateur Britney Spears says she's a "little bitter" about men. But she's not a lesbian, she insists. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The 21-year-old pop princess opens her mouth again to Newsweek, in which she pouts a lot about Justin Timberlake bedding her and blabbing about it.

"It was really hard," she said of her breakup with the 'N Sync heartthrob. "There was a time when I was like, 'Okay, I'm over men. They're mean.'"

The gum-smacking chart-topper said she swore off men for six months after her split with tattletale Timberlake.

"Not like they weren't drawn to me, but there wasn't a single real attraction," Spears said. "I'm like, 'What's happening? I know I'm not lesbian.'"

The "Oops! ... I Did it Again" singer had maintained that she was a virgin before and during her relationship with Timberlake. Now, she says, what's the point in fibbing?

"Justin said it on Barbara Walters," Spears griped. "The world knew after he told them all. What am I supposed to say, 'No, I didn't?' Can you say I'm a little bitter with men? Just a little."

The Louisiana-born Lolita asked as many questions as she answers in the magazine article, which hits newsstands today. She most wants to know why the wife of Maryland's governor is threatening her.

Kendel Ehrlich made headlines earlier this month by telling a mostly mothers crowd: "If I had an opportunity to shoot Britney Spears, I think I would."

The menacing comment, which Ehrlich later said was a joke, was prompted in part by Spears' Aug. 28 lip-lock with Madonna on MTV's "Video Music Awards," and her libido-driven lyrics.

"Why? Why are they mad at me?" asked Spears, who recently posed topless for Rolling Stone and bottomless for Esquire.

"What is too sexy to them?" Spears asked. "My family, we walked around the house naked. ... By the time I was 13, my dad was like, 'Uh, Britney, it's time to start covering yourself up.' I'm very free like that."

Spears said deep down, she's just like any single heterosexual gal: She wants to meet Mr. Right and have kids - who she does not want emulating her style.

"Not that it's dirty or tacky, but it is really revealing and I wouldn't want my kid, at 21, to be dressing like that," she advised.

Britney, just shut up and roll over, huh.

[shadeaud]

Just remember one thing Britney, in two years nobody will even remember your name. Save your money for a lot of Botox.

...in which she pouts a lot about Justin Timberlake bedding her and blabbing about it.

She thought he was a gentleman?

[Enterprise]

Oh you poor little abused thing. Come over and sit on my lap and tell me all about it.

"There was a time when I was like, 'Okay, I'm over men."

"I'm like, 'What's happening? "

"By the time I was 13, my dad was like, 'Uh, Britney, it's time to start covering yourself up.'

I'm like, thinking like, "What a moron."

I hear the Britney Spears diet is better than Atkins and all the rest. You can only eat the food you can spell.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Do you still have the sweater pic of her?

[Clemenza]

I'm happier to see that Cristina Aguilera's career is going down the tubes. That woman was a skank and disgusting to look at to boot. IF only she wouldn't have gone ghetto (a move made more ridculous by the fact that she is a Staten Island Mall chick), maybe her career would still be in good shape.

Britney can stay, however. ;-)

[Lunatic Fringe]

It's been a slow, 6-year long striptease.... can we finish it now please?

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

I always said she'd be doing a layout for Hef by 2005. Right on schedule.

Just remember one thing Britney, in two years nobody will even remember your name.

Even worse, everyone will ask her, aren't you Jamie Lynn Spears's big sister.

Revelation 2:20

Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

"Why? Why are they mad at me?" asked Spears

They're not mad, Britney dear, they're - we're - just disgusted and tired of you.

[dead]

I'm like reading the article and I'm like thinking "She's an annoying idiot" and then like I get to the picture and I'm like, "I love her."

[FeliciaCat]

Britney needs better PR people...everytime she opens her mouth she digs a deeper hole.

Here's some advice Brit, do what you want, but dont try to justify or apologise for it and grow a thicker skin when it comes back and bites ya'.

[Centurion2000]

You owe me a keyboard for that one :) ...... excellent one.

[SkyPilot]

I'm like, thinking like, "What a moron."

Like, why? I mean, it sounds like you are so jealous of her, and everything. So, like, why don't you think, like, she's not smart, and everything?

Aguilera grew up in suburban Pittsburgh, and is more musically talented than Spears.

[open mind-closed fist]

OOPS...I made millions again...
