Britney Spears is delving into reality television, thanks to a deal she recently inked with UPN, according to Variety. Spears and husband Kevin Federline will star in their own unscripted, as-yet-untitled series, which will document the

couple's relationship, from the earliest stages of their courtship to their engagement and ultimately, their stroll down the aisle.

UPN won a fierce bidding war to secure the rights to the six-episode series, which the network plans to roll out sometime next month, before the current season comes to a close, Variety reports.

With the series, Spears says she'll be able to contradict the tabloid media's misguided portrayal of her private life.

"From the day that Kevin and I met, there have been constant rumors and inaccurate speculation about our lives together," Spears told the Variety. "I feel that last year, the tabloids ran my life, and I am really excited about showing my fans what really happened, rather than all the stories, which have been misconstrued by journalists in the past. As I mentioned before, I am now going to be expressing my personal life through art" (see
"Britney Spears Promises To Shut Up About Her Personal Life").

Spears blasted several tabloids last week in a letter posted her Web site (see
"Britney Lashes Out Against Tabloid 'Liars' On Her Web Site,"). In the missive, she characterized recent speculation that she's pregnant and her marriage was in trouble as unfair, and condemned the tabloids as duplicitous, since they never come clean about their own shortcomings.

Dawn Ostroff, president of entertainment for UPN, said the lion's share of the show's content will consist of video footage Spears and Federline shot themselves. In essence, the couple will serve as the program's hosts, and will walk the audience through the story of them. There will be five half-hour episodes capped off with an hour-long finale, which will center around their September 18, 2004, nuptials.

The couple had cameras rolling as they gallivanted across Europe and even while they were making wedding-day plans, and the series is expected to include footage from those tapes.

Ostroff feels the story of Spears and Federline's relationship is so riveting that "even if it were a fictitious story, it would be interesting. The fact that it's about one of the biggest stars out there makes it all the more fascinating."

Federline told Variety that the show is "a documentation of love." No official premiere date has been set, but it's likely the series will debut in late May, during the tail end of sweeps.
 
Yay, for a documentation of her pimple-picking and buying of undersized dogs. :sick:
 
is this the same show she announced when she was doing her european tour? I remember they ended up cancelling it because she "broke" her knee...
 
I've been saying this for years now, but this seals the deal...."reality" t.v. has gone TOO far
 
:lol:

I wanna see that! I bet they`ll manage to make a worse appearance than Nick & Jessica! :lol:
 
I don't understand the fascination with her. Or her. Or why people like her.
 
I didn't read the article, or any of the posts.

But I still feel like I'm going to puke.
 
^ It's not going to be a documentary on their relationship before they got married....not their lives now.
 
BRITNEY, KEVIN SLEEP APART <SPAN id=a10bl>

April 6, 2005 -- BRITNEY Spears and husband Kevin Federline just might separate before their UPN reality show premiere next month, if their current behavior is any indication.


Just after Federline spent the weekend before last in Vegas, where a "hostess" was keeping him company, the couple holed up in the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica — but in separate rooms.

A spywitness staying there said, "They moved into the hotel because their house in Malibu is being renovated. But Britney stayed in the main building and Kevin stayed in the bungalows.

"They were not together at all the entire week. They called their family in for an emergency meeting. They are having serious issues, and the families were called to try and help them work it out."

Sadly, the two spent almost no time together talking things through, even though Spears is widely believed to be pregnant with Federline's child — although it has not been confirmed.

"Every time they came and went to and from the hotel, it was in separate cars," we're told. "Kevin played a lot of golf at a nearby golf course and Britney was just roaming the hotel everyday in either a muu-muu or an oversized sweatshirt, sobbing. Her mother was with her, but not Kevin.

"Britney left the hotel [Monday], but Kevin is still here."

representative for Spears said: "Britney and Kevin were at the hotel to celebrate [sister] Jamie Lynn's birthday. An emergency meeting was called, but only because Britney was afraid her dog, Bit Bit, was pregnant by [brother] Brian's dog, Porkchop — and that would be incest.


"As for Britney and Kevin, they are still together, happy and gearing up to do press on the new show. There will be a magazine cover involved."

For the record, Bit Bit is a chihuahua and Porkchop is a bulldog. The couple are "staying at a Santa Monica condo now," the rep added. Meanwhile, the TV show is not in danger because the footage — shot by the couple themselves of their courtship and wedding — is already being edited.
UPN president Dawn Ostroff told The Post's Michael Starr: "They've been shooting footage for months. They started shooting when Britney was doing her European tour . . . There's going to be wraparound footage with them talking about what we're going to see, where they were in their lives." We wonder if they'll talk about last week.
