Britney Spears Is Cute for Cosmo, August 2010

Fans of Britney Spears must have been desperately waiting for a news like this: the August 2010 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine brings a very cute and fun interview with the singer, together with a gorgeous series of portraits. Made to look like a school questionnaire, the Q&A tackles topics like her boys, her fashion style and, of course, her love life and being a star.

As scans of the magazine posted on OhNoTheyDidn’t show, the interview is not the standard type, the kind one gets to read in every other magazine. In keeping with Britney’s playful manner, it is constructed like a school questionnaire, where she gets to fill out the answers herself. To make it even more convincing, the interview looks as if Spears herself actually took the time to write her own answers, which is unlikely to be the case but is cute nonetheless.

“I’m dreading the moment when my sons ask me: how babies are made
If I had to wear one style of shoes for the rest of my life, I’d choose: flip-flops
Stage fright is something that: still bothers me
The one stage prop I wish I still had is: the flying pink SUV from my Do Somethin’ video
If a guy wants to make me laugh, all he has to do is: fall down
If my sons told me they wanted to be in the entertainment business, I’d: lock them in their rooms until they turned 30
The thought of turning 30 in a year and a half makes me: reflect on my life so far
I perform my best when: I’m amped
The TV show I’d most love to make a cameo on is: Gossip Girl.
Even though I’ve already accomplished so much, I’m driven to achieve more because: I genuinely love what I do and the company I keep is so much fun.
My preferred fashion style when I’m performing is: exciting, different and always stands out, but when I’m offstage, it’s: flattering yet comfortable
I feel most powerful when: I’m working out
I attribute my career’s longevity most to: hard work,” excerpts of the Q&A read.

Also there, Britney reveals being stalked by paparazzi is risk she willingly took when she started off in showbiz, how she gets agitated before a performance but tries to walk it off, what she looks for in a man (personality and the ability to make her laugh), and how much she values the opinion of her family. She also talks about being a mom and which was the biggest challenge she had to face in the new role and what she makes of her longevity as a pop star – as well as one piece of advice she’d give a young artist who’s seek her help.
