Britney Spears Wants a 'Normal Childhood' for Her Kids

Pop princess Britney Spears has expressed her desire to steer her sons away from limelight so that they can have the 'normal childhood' she never had.

Spears had started her career in showbiz when she was only 10, first appearing on talent show Star Search and then landing a role in the 'Mickey Mouse Club'.

Britney Reforming Herself to Get Kids Custody Back
Beleaguered pop diva Britney Spears hopes to gain joint custody of her two boys - Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1 - by the end of this year.

For the 'Toxic' singer, being pushed into the limelight at an early age is what brought about her recent troubles, including the breakdown that lost her custody of her two sons, Sean Preston, 2, and one-year-old Jayden James.

Even though she has made a name for herself in the industry, she is determined that her sons will not be pushed into showbiz and will support them only if they have made the choice themselves.

"If they want to do it, and they are talented enough, I would support them. But they'd have to express an interest on their own," the Sun quoted her as telling OK! magazine.

Meanwhile, Spears revealed that she is working tirelessly on her pop comeback, and she's convinced her new songs will prove to be her best.
