Britney Spears

It's no secret that Britney Spears, whose art brings joy to us all and whose mere existence makes the world a better place, has had her ups and downs. But it's clear that the biggest low points in her life are in the past.

These days, she's a first-rate mom who still has a thriving music career and also sometimes quotes Nietzsche on Instagram. She also has a super hot boyfriend.

Back in 2007 -- which we're told wasn't 3 years ago but in fact 10, somehow -- Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan had some outrageous misadventures that were impossible to ignore.

Well now it sounds like the dream team is coming back together!

Britney Spears is famous for her songs, her performances, her life's ups and downs, for being a mom, and for reigning over pop with benevolence and grace.

But Britney also starred in a movie, Crossroads. This throwback photo from the set really takes you back.

Britney Spears isn't just a musical superstar and one of the greatest performers in the world -- she's also a first-rate mom to her two sons.

Well now a report's coming in that she wants to add a third child to the family.

It's only been six months since we first learned that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are dating, but it seems the couple has been moving at breakneck speed since day one.

Rumors that Spears and Asghari are engaged have been circulating pretty much from the time they first got together, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before "insiders" started spreading the word that the couple has surreptitiously taken the next step.

Britney Spears and Sam Ashgari have been Instagram official for, like, four months now, and things appear to be going great for them. 

Britney has even resorted to sharing a video of herself leaping off of Sam's shoulders in a swimming pool. Hey, it's not every day someone can do that with their partner. 

It wasn't all that long ago that it looked like Britney Spears had gotten caught up in a downward spiral from which would never recover.

Fortunately Brit turned things around, and now those dark times serve to make her recent successes even sweeter.
