Britney Spears made a name for herself as a barely legal cute, wholesome cock-tease pop star ... just a smoking-hot smiling, normal teen from small-town Louisiana.
That seems like an eternity ago.
Lawyer Eric Ervin, who worked with Spears as a teenager, tells Us Weekly in its new cover story that the "virgin" image Spears portrayed was just a "PR blitz." In fact, Britney lost her virginity at 14 to boyfriend Reg Jones. Moreover, Britney and then-beau Justin Timberlake were intimate from the beginning.
Britney Spears' tragic family history has also been kept secret.
Spears' paternal grandmother, Emma Jean Spears, committed suicide in 1966 at age 31. Britney's grandmother suffered from depression and shot herself in the chest with a shotgun at the grave of her infant son - who had died eight years earlier.
Emma Jean Spears left behind four other children, including Britney's dad, Jamie Spears, then an 8th grader. Two of Jamie Spears' brothers ended up homeless. Fortunately, Jamie Spears met Lynne Spears, although they later divorced.
The magazine has many troubling details from Britney Spears' childhood, but we're focused on the fact that Britney and Reg Jones were boning each other at 14.
Reg Jones? Come on. And we thought Britney Spears was all virtuous and wholesome when she first got big. Oh wait, no we didn't. At least Reg Jones hit that piece before it became an overused factory used to create Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Props to him!

Come On people LEAVE HER ALONE ALREADY! Seriously, you guys are trying her CRAZY. Shes HUMAN so what if she lost it at age 14. Now a days it seems like everyone's doing IT at that age. Stop judging her and watch your kids cause they are "getting it on" too. Geeze. Judging hers really makes you feel so much better about yourselves HUH? dude. get OVER IT already...

I am totally agreeing with MJean.. he/she couldnt have possible said it better. Start watching your own kids, who are more then likely doing the same dirty deeds and lay the hell off of britney, poor girl! You'd all be that way to if you had a bunch of jerks riding your behind, watching your every move!

The media and low intellect of this country has kept the "Britney Scam" going on far too long. Lots of young girls out there actually have talent. We shouldn't keep this loser around to satisfy America's tabloid trash addiction. So sure leave her alone.

she never expected to have the paparazzi CHASE her every move. Yes she is paying a price on being famous, but there should be a law that allows her more than a foot of space while walking to her car. It is ridiculous that you would want to talk about her past and stir up even more bull crap. She is a mom, and all you are doing is fueling the fire. LET her raise her kids and deal with her personal life on her own.I wish I worked for Britney, I would make some big changes that would allow her to step out without being hounded. paparazzi needs to back off and everyone else who finds nothing more to do than complain about what she did when she was 14... look under your own rug, I am sure you may have some dirt that needs picked up. You are just fortunate to not have the paps follow your every move and try to manipulate any pictures that they can get from her. GROW UP! YOU ALL NEED TO JUST GROW UP OUT THERE!

Do you practice what you preach Connie? You're here reading about the dirt that has been dug up about her life, so what does that say about you?
She may not have asked for all the negativity being thrown at her from the media but she has admitted she enjoys being in the spotlight... even when it comes to the paparazzi. When I was a kid, I actually looked up to her because I thought she was someone who asserted moral values, and it breaks my heart to learn it was all a lie. She has a troubled past and she does need help, but no one can help her until she admits she has a problem.

Dear Ms Linda, I have to agree with CONNIE on this one. She never said anything bad about Brit she was just trying to state the fact that people should stop beating her up for what she did in her past.She did not comment anything bad and why the hell can't she read the comments people make, that seems to me all she was doing. Wanting to see remarks that people like you make. Bull CRAP about what you mentioned on the moral part of it. EVERY "star" has a hidden secret just as you do. If you say you don't than I call you a saint. Looking up to her for entertainment yes and wishing you could look and dance like her... but you can't tell me when you were young ( and I am sure you may still be )you actually knew exactly what the whole moral thing means.Infatuated, possibly even obsessed. She is in the spotlight, yes. She did not want the media as you say all up in her face I am sure, as the same would go for you. Busting on Connie is only a way for you to pull the spotlight on yourself and to make yourself feel like you did something grand to protect Britney, when all you really did was show that you are full of it. As for Brit saying she enjoys the spotlight... umm...check your records and tell me how many times you have seen her breakdown in tears saying she wishes the PAPS would just leave her alone. Do your research my dear friend. Seems you have more cleaning up to do than just trying to make connie look bad. Kudos to Connie! I am right there with you! Moral support is all she needs from us, how she gets help and admitting she needs help is not up to you LINDA. Apparently you could care less or you would have stated something more in the matter of... I hope that she sees she needs to trust in someone enough to help her pull through and direct her where she can get the help she needs

It is OK to pick on Britney because she tried to potray herself as someone that she is not. I would have more respect for her if she came right out and said that she lost her virginity at 14 instead of trying to portray an image that is is pure and wholesome before she married JT. I hate fakes and would mind kicking them when they are down. Britney is no different form some of the televangelists who are stealing money and engaging in kinky sex outside their marriages while telling their congregations that they should not fornicate.

You obviously misunderstood what I was trying to say John. Connie has no right to tell other people to grow up when she's here reading dirt about Britney herself. I never said it was up to me for Britney to get help, why are you coming down on me for that? And, in case you haven't noticed, Britney doesn't seem to appreciate support from anyone, or why would she push everyone away who's trying to help her?
Her lying to the media is not bull crap. She tried to portray a wholesome image, but she was living a lie. And it is disconcerting because many of her fans were little kids when she first made it big. Would you want a young girl who was your daughter too look up to someone like Britney? Didn't think so. If you want to waste your time giving Britney support, go for it, but she wouldn't care either way.
