Britney: Still Chaotic, Just So Much Less Fun

Britney Spears, now and then

Britney Spears' MTV doc, a 90-minute pity party thrown for the self-described "sad" pop singer, barely gave us insight into Britters' brain besides regretful clichés, ignoring way too obvious Q's like: What was with the British accent, Brit? Or dating a paparazzi prick? How about all those panty-free shots; were those planned or just an oopsy oversight?

But Sunday's snooze of an interview wasn't B-babe's first foray into televised self-exploitation, doncha know. 'Member her and K-Fed's little-watched (and barely watchable) Britney and Kevin: Chaotic? Sure, trucker-hat-donning B.S. was bonkers back then, videotaping herself and a sketchy dude she barely knew at the time, taking B-12 shots, gorging her face with junk food, her wit best exemplified by her acute observations, such as: "These look like boobs...but they're my knees!"

But damn, if Brit-Brit wasn't enjoying life back then, prolly since she didn't know at the time all that footage would be seen by the public. No need to impress anybody, like she so diligently tried to do in "For the Record"—look how strong I am! Buy my new album, y'all!

Check out our fave Chaotic clip above for a refresher in case you forgot what our darling li'l Spearsy looked like happy.
