Britney Spears looks fresh-faced and golden on the January cover of Glamour magazine, as we get to see the results of her Patrick Demarchelier photo shoot. The singer was back to performing on stage this weekend and as everyone buzzes about whether Britney's back to her old self, the singer talks about her life and how she wants her future to end up. Here's more:
- On her come back: "I have 'come back' so many times, people are just like, Is this another one?... It’s kind of like a joke to me now."
- On a misconception about her: "I don’t like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people. I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I’m kind of boring."
- On where she wants to be in 5 or 10 years: "I would love to have a lot of albums under my belt. And a couple of movies….In five years I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable."
It's Britney overload whether you want it or not — between the magazine covers, MTV documentary last night, and GMA birthday appearance tomorrow, lighting of the Rockefeller Center tree on Wednesday and who knows what else is in store for us. In the meantime, click to see the full photo gallery as well as behind-the-scenes footage from her shoot.

1Wow, I'm not a huge B fan, but she looks fabulous. The fresh-faced natural look is fantastic and I like this blonde better than previous hues.
2Britney looks so cute.
3She is looking so much better these days. Crazy did NOT look good on her.
Though I DVR-ed her documentary and plan on watching it this afternoon, I still want to know what everyone thought of it...
4gorgeous!!!
5well i really enjoyed her documentary thing last night and i hope that it lets people see her in a different light now. she's really trying hard and i think that she's has a good perspective on life.
6I'm glad she is getting better but I'm sorry to say she was terrible on X-factor.
7saw her special on mtv last night..thought that was very good. heartbreaking nontheless.
8lisa, biggest ratings for the show ever though.... that says something
9I am so not understanding " a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable." Her kids aren't with K-Fed because no one else will take them! They're with him because not only the court, but even her own parents said he may be many things, but a bad dad isn't one of them. She's pissed me off with this one. I'm very glad she got herself together, but I think it's a low and nasty swipe to take at K-Fed especially when you're not the one anyone's trusting to rear your own kids. If anything, Britney has gotten off damn easy because if she were me, or anyone else out here, she wouldn't be getting yet another chance to screw it up.
10I like britney. I hope she keeps it together this time.
11The documentary was very good. It was sad when she spoke about how her life is now.
12She looks adorable in the pic on the right, I truly hope she can get her life back together...
13"In five years I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable."
Um, that's a not very subtle dig at Kevin Federline. Her kids have a father, and whatever animosity there may be between them she should be grateful to him for being a stable presence in their kids lives when she was falling to pieces.
14I know Brian, and not being mean because I really feel for her, but she looked totallty not interested and mimed. The contestants looked more composed and experienced, and sang live. I just think she's got a long way to go, you know. People tune in cause they like a wreck, like people who rubber neck at crash sites.
15Cinquetta, exactly! I guess I was typing while you were posting, great minds and all that...
16Mind you Mariah Carey was on a previous week and she didn't do much better lol
17She looks great.
18She looks a lot like Jamie Lynn in these photos.
Actually, she looks like she used to when she released "Baby One More Time".
19haha!
20she looks good but she is the type of person that needs a man in order to feel whole, that's sad her kids should be that void
21That girl is far from healed. I watch the Docu last night and all I saw was a lost, trouble girl. I truly believe that she has some mental issues. She'll probably have to see psychiatrist for the rest of her life (and there’s nothing wrong with that).
I wish her the best and most importantly, I wish that she finds happiness because she’s not happy.
22She's gorgeous.Love ya Brit
23P.S did you all see Madonna's face last night? WTF?
24SERIOUSLY! WTF!
I was like wow... scary tight.
25But I did like what she said about Brit.
Cinquetta/ Kiki, I agree, but maybe she means that she wants the future man in her life to be stable and a good father figure in addition to KFed. It might even have been an anti- Adnan comment, or whatever that doosh- bag paparazzi's name was.
26I agree with the comments about the father figure. Kevin is being a father to them, maybe she can work on being a better mother to them, one who actually has custody of her kids.
I DVR'd her doctumentry last night i can't wait to watch it tonight.
27oops *documentary
28Wow! She looks amazing
29Love her.
It made me cry when she said that when she falls in love, she wants to be with her man 24/7, and gives him her all. That reminded me of myself.
But overall, it was a really great documentary. A lot of laughs and a lot of heartbreak.
30I didn't get to watch the doc. last night, does anyone know when it will re-air?
31Mykie, it's on all the time on MTV. It re-aired right after the first one.
I watched it. Very interesting.
I can't wait to see how she does tomorrow. I've always been a fan.
32I also saw the documentary last night and this girl is still truly lost. She doesn't know who she is or what exactly she wants. She feels she has to keep working and working for some reason. Her problems are not going to be solved this way. She needs to become stronger and really love herself more. And it's sad that she still feels that she "needs a man" to be happy. Getting married again and having more children is definitely not the solution to everything. She still needs help. I hope she recovers.
33I watched both of her "performances" and THEY WERE TERRIBLE. Sure she looked better but her dancing was VERY stiff and you would think after lip-singing for so many years she would be better but NOOOOO!!!
34The documentary was upsetting to watch. She knows that dancing makes her happy, she's said that a lot over the years, but I think what she's suffered as a result of her stardom has stripped her of the happiness she once had from performing.
I honestly believe she's only doing this because it is all she's known her entire life. I don't think she's ready and I think she's being pushed too much, too soon, and I hope it doesn't break her again. She needs to be left alone/go away to find peace within herself. Maybe she could come back in 5 or 6 years, I don't know, but I just think this is too soon. Its heartbreaking to see someone who is so lost. I used to think "oh she's rich, she's got this and that, and wow, i'm jealous." Now, I wouldn't trade places with her, no way.
35P.S. I didn't get the idea that she needs a man. She said she wants one around in 5 years. I don't know a single woman who'd want to raise her children alone.
You guys forget all that KFed has done. You also forget that he didn't even raise them or spend time with them, his bodygaurd and their nanny did while KFed was off in Las Vegas, or Miami or LA partying it up. You just didn't hear as many stories about it because people don't care to report on him. He's NO BETTER than Britney was in her worst moments. She's gotten much, much, much better and you can see that in the kid's faces.
36That sweater looks like a straight jacket.
37I didn't know K-Fed died.
38I like Brit....she needs some damn privacy
39Good God Almighty...any post about her should read "101 to coat a Marshmallow".
40*101 Ways to Coat a Marshmallow*
41She hates clubbing? Liar.
42it's cute how she acts like she's raising her kids, much less by herself. silly girl.
43way to bash K-Fed, Britney - it's not like she's so stable herself. But she definitely does need a father figure - good thing she has Daddy!
44I don't think she was bashing K-fed you guys. I could be wrong, but when A single mother says stuff like that, she just means a stable fatherly influence when they're with her.
I know I used to wish for that too, and my son has a good father that sees him as often as possible. That doesn't mean I didn't want another stable influence in my sons life.
We don't know how she meant that statement. Oh wait, I forgot rational thought doesn't get me anywhere when discussing Britney.
45I think the party girl thing is a big of a misconception, because she never before her divorce partied like she did then. She did a bit after Justin breakup, but nothing serious. It's good she's over it. I got over clubs a few years ago.
I also don't think she's bashing Kevin. If anything she wants to find a guy who can be a good role model to her kids. Isn't that what any mother wants? Step-parents are just as important as real parents.

47I don't think Kevin's the model father he makes out to be. Remember all those rumors of cheating & partying while they were married? He put her through the ringer and bled her financially and they were only married 2 YEARS!
I can understand what she talking about when she talks about the man she wants. It sounds like she wants the opposite of Kevin and more like her Dad who is stable and has always been there for her. And has HIS OWN career and not marrying her to leech off of her in hopes of a career steps. I was never a fan but I feel sorry for her and can see how she went off the deep end and I'm now rooting for her because she IS trying so hard to get her life back on track. Unlike some other celebs.
48she chose him though, everyone but her saw that he was probably just in it to spend her money, it's no one's fault but her own that she's so desperate for love and fairy tale marriage that she chooses losers.
Kevin might not be the perfect father but he is the one that has the more custody of the two.
49I watched the documentary and just ended up feeling incredibly sad for her. She seems so... empty/off. I also agree w/ everyone's comments, she clearly needs to get away from LA and move somewhere where she can rebuild quietly and calmly. I'm not sure going on tour to support her new album is the best idea right now but oh well.
