MTV has *just* announced that it will produce and air a 90 minute documentary on Britney Spears, tentatively titled Britney Spears: For the Record. This new doc will air on MTV on November 30 and will feature our dear Britney reflecting on her last few years of hardship as well as all the progressive strides she has made in the past few amazing months:

Possibly more than anyone on Earth, Britney Spears’ life is constantly documented by the media, which voraciously reports on the singer’s every step and misstep. But what’s it like to be in her shoes? With her new album, Circus, set for release in just a few weeks, the singer is ready to show the world her side of the story. Britney has joined forces with MTV for a 90-minute documentary about her return to the pop-music spotlight. Tentatively titled “For the Record,” the special is set to air on November 30 at 10 p.m. on MTV, two days before Circus is released on December 2 (the singer’s 27th birthday). “So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there’s a lot that people don’t know about me that I want them to know,” Spears told MTV News in a statement about the special. “I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed.” The documentary combines personal stories with behind-the-scenes footage of her comeback. Cameras follow her to the recording studio, to rehearsals, to press tours, to the video shoot for her latest single, “Womanizer,” and even to her hometown in Louisiana. Backstage footage from her recent triumphant appearance at the Video Music Awards is also featured. Through it all, we hear Britney talking about the hardships that led up to this comeback. “I’ve been through a lot, and there’s a lot people don’t know,” she says in the film. “Sometimes it can get lonely ’cause you don’t open the gate. I’m stuck in this place, and I just cope every day.” Britney also owns up to the mistakes the world has watched her make, and offers some telling insight into how she feels about it all now. “I sit there and I look back,” she says, before asking rhetorically: “I’m a smart person, what the hell was I thinking?”
This sounds pretty freakin’ awesome! Y’all know I can’t wait to see this for myself. After the jump, check out a short preview video of this new documentary …

That’s the link for one of the better quality trailers of the documentary!
it’s “For the Record,” not “On the Record.” :)
This is just exactly what we need.. to see Britney how she really is.. but u know what gets me pumped??
To see images of Britney’s new photoshoots!!
omg she looks hot
i’m so excited!!!!
i’m so proud of britney and this is such a smart thing for her to do.
also, it amazes me that no matter what happens to her, she’s always able to remain the figure she is.
one word. Squee!
Thank Jebus! It looks like it’ll be really entertaining. It’ll really show the real side of Britney rather than what the media makes her out to be…and plus, it’s a huuuge step up from Chaotic. I feel like it’ll be an honest documentary. So excited. Love Brit.
You know Sam Lufti and Adnan are out there somewhere shakin in their boots…terrified that Britney’s comeback will be a huge success and their secret plans at attempting to re-dominate her will be foiled for good! hah!
Seeing that MTV is doing this documentary, her big wins at the VMAs makes more sense. I will watch, but I have a feeling I’m going to be disappointed. I’d really like to see her talk about the day to day of living with a mental illness, but I doubt we will see any of that. I doubt she will really talk much about hitting rock bottom in the public eye.
BRITNEY SPEARS IS THE BEST MUSIC ARTIST!
i love her so much!
I wish she’d know how much all her fans love her!
Oh my lord, I am so excited for this. This looks absolutely so much fun. I’m so excited to see her dance again!
She looks so beautiful….but there is still that sadness behind the smiles. I hope all her dark days are behind her.
I am excited as all, but she seemed kinda sad talking about “the gate”…..you see in her eyes, she still has those old wounds that started all the crazy….
can’t wait! she looks so good. so nice to see that smile again!
im excited! do you have any information on when this may come to the uk?
She definitely sounds the most coherent she has in YEARS. YEARS, people!! I was never a huge fan and was even skeptical at the thought of her big return to the music scene, but right now I am truly rooting for her. If she pulls off a comeback, it will most definitely be the biggest ever. She has potential to have the staying power to have a very successful career. As long as she is happy.
Eh, everyone deserves a second, wait third or fourth chance. I will watch b/c I am a bit curious about her manic life, but DAMN some of you act like this is the second coming or something!
oh man I cannot freakin wait. The dancing looks incredible….and the end of the preview was awesome….can’t wait to hear how clear she is about everything now!
