Britney Spears calls her life worse than a jail sentence
Britney Spears says that since her breakdown in January, her life has been worse than a jail sentence – but that she's slowly healing one day at a time. "I have really good days, and then I have bad days," the singer, 26, admits in a new fly-on-the wall, 90-minute documentary, “Britney: For The Record,” to air Nov. 30 on MTV. On struggling to regain control of her life, the pop star says candidly: "I'm having to pay for it for a really long time." A camera crew followed Britney for three months as she moved to pull her life back on track.
