Britney Spears made her local stage debut at age five, singing "What Child Is This?" at her kindergarten graduation. At age eight, Britney Spears and her mother Lynne traveled to Atlanta for an audition in the 1990s revival of The Mickey Mouse Club. Casting director Matt Cassella rejected her for being too young to join the series at the time, but later he introduced her to Nancy Carson, a New York City talent agent.

Britney Spears is an American recording artist and entertainer.

She signed with Jive Records in 1997 and released her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999. She was only 17 when she reached #1 on the U.S. pop music charts with her 1999 debut album '...Baby One More Time.' The video for the title track, in which she was dressed in a stimulating Catholic-schoolgirl outfit, sent her well on the way to becoming an international sex symbol. During her first decade within the music industry, she became a prominent figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life. It debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and was certified two-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America after a month. "...Baby One More Time" later received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while title tracks "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" became international number-one hits. Britney Spears was credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s.

After the release of two compilation albums, Spears experienced personal struggles and her career went under hiatus. Britney Spears is also the youngest female artist to have a million sellers in the country. "(You Drive Me) Crazy" was released as the third single from the album. It became a top-ten hit worldwide and propelled ...Baby One More Time to sell 26 million copies.

In late 2001, her next album, 'Britney,' was released and debuted at number one in the charts, selling over 740,000 units its first week. But this time around the singles weren't as successful; "I'm a Slave 4 U," "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman," and "Overprotected" all missed the Top Ten.

In 2002, Britney Spears made her film debut with the commercial disappointment Crossroads. Her performance was poorly received by critics, and she netted herself a Razzie Award for worst performance of the year. She retreated from performing and recording for several months before returning to the studio in 2003.

Her fourth album, 'In The Zone,' marked an indisputable return to commercial form with a new adult sound. A duet with her idol Madonna, coupled with the show-stopping kiss between the two, at the 2003 MTV Music awards, confirmed that Spears was again the Pop Princess of her generation. The single "Toxic" returned her to the singles top 10 and the Madonna collaboration "Me Against the Music" electrified dance clubs. The success of the album peaked with a 2005 Grammy Award for "Toxic" as Best Dance Recording.

Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released in 2007 and despite receiving little promotion; it spawned hits "Gimme More" and "Piece of Me". In 2008, her erratic behavior and hospitalizations caused her to be placed in a conservatorship. The same year, her sixth studio album Circus was released, with the global chart-topping lead single "Womanizer". She embarked on her highest-grossing global concert tour, The Circus Starring Britney Spears, in 2009. Her seventh studio album Femme Fatale, released in 2011, has become the first of her albums to yield three top ten singles in the United States.

Britney Spears has sold over 100 million records worldwide. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the eighth top-selling female artist in the United States, with 33 million certified albums. Britney Spears is also recognized as the best-selling female artist of the first decade of the 21st century, as well as the fifth overall. Britney Spears was ranked the 8th Artist of the 2000s by Billboard. In June 2010, Spears was ranked sixth on Forbes list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world; she is also the third most mentioned musician on the internet, according to Forbes.

While she may have been on a break from her career, she was by no means breaking from the media, who followed her relentlessly, even keener to track her down and find out what she was up to. Britney was increasingly letting her pop princess crown slip, admitting she had lost her sacred virginity to Timberlake, outside of marriage. Britney could also be seen smoking and drinking to excess on wild nights out and famously breaking down in tears while being interviewed by Diane Sawyer about her parents (who were recently divorced) and her bitter split from Timberlake. Britney was linked to men such as Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit and openly kissed Colin Farrell at a movie premiere. In a blitz of publicity which included the infamous "Like a Virgin" performance and Madonna kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards in August that year.

Britney was in a lot more control over her career, yet her personal life still seemed to be slipping. In January 2004, Britney got "married" to childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander in a Las Vegas ceremony. The incident shocked the world, especially when the marriage was annulled 55 hours later and was described as "a joke taken too far" by her management.

Britney married with Kevin in September 2004 in a secret ceremony, soon after the birth of Kevin's second child. That same month, Britney released a single off her upcoming "Greatest Hits" album (released in November 2004) a cover of Bobby Brown's 1988 hit "My Prerogative".

2007 started as a difficult year for Britney Spears, with her irregular behavior including the surprise shaving of her hair in February and a number of admissions to drug rehab facilities as she fought a custody battle for her children. In September, an LA judge ordered Spears to undergo random drug and alcohol tests twice a week as part of the situation of her child custody case.

For more than a decade, BRITNEY SPEARS has become an outstanding figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life.

2011-04-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

Anna Hazare was born on 15 January 1940 at Bhingar, Maharashtra( India). His full name was Kisan Bapat Baburao Hazare. Anna hazare is well-known for his social service. He is true follower of the thoughts of Mahatma Gandhi. Baburao Hazare was father & Laxmibai Hazare was his mother.

He joins Indian army in 1963 when after Indo-China War of 1962 the Government of India had appealed to young Indians to join the Indian army. He was in army for 15 years. He was in army when Pakistan attacked India in 1965. On 12 november 1962 during the war one bullet was passed by his head.

Anna Hazare was very much influencef by the gentle thoughts of Swami Vivekananda. He makes his mind to take voluntary retirement from Army & serve the society.

After retirement he moved to his native place Ralegan Siddhi. There were water crises at Ralegan Siddhi. Hazare started a novel project of water management through watershed development in Ralegan Siddhi. This resulted in increase in the ground water level. After that, Hazare along with his team worked out the cropping pattern suitable to the quality of soil and the water volume available for farming. This was his first social revolution. Hazare’s Ralegan Siddhi became the first role model of an ideal village and has become a tourist spot for many visitors across the nation, since it shows the metamorphoses from the worst village to an ideal village. Visitors include politicians, researchers, social workers and students. Four postgraduate students have completed Ph. D. thesis on Ralegan Siddhi.

After this success Anna started a new venture in 1991 called Bhrashtachar Virodhi Jan Aandolan (BVJA) or public movement against corruption. In concern with this Hazare returned the Padmashree Award to the President of India and also returned the Vriksha Mitra Award given by then prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi. Also he started indefinite hunger strike in Alandi. These steps awaken the govt & govt takes hard steps towards culprits.

Anna was not much satisfied with this judgment. He needs a concrete & permanent step against corruption. So he demanded for Right to Information Act.

Govt was not agreeing for it. So Hazare first agitated in the historical Azad Maidan in Mumbai in the year 1997.

In the early 2000, Anna Hazare led a movement in Maharastra state, which forced the Government of Maharashtra to repeal the earlier weak act and pass a stronger act Maharashtra Right to Information Act, which was later considered as the base document for the Right to Information Act 2005 (RTI), enacted by the Union Government.

To create mass public awareness about RTI amongst the youth, Hazare traveled extensively throughout the state. Finally, again he went on an indefinite hunger strike at Azad Maidan in the last week of July 2003. At last, the President of India signed the draft of the Right to Information Act after his 12-day-long hunger strike and ordered the state government to implement it with effect from 2002. The same draft was considered as the base document for the making of the National Right to Information Act-2005. After the implementation of the RTI Act-2005.

In 2011, Anna Hazare initiated a movement for passing a stronger anti-corruption Lokpal (ombudsman) bill in the Indian Parliament. On April 5 2011, Hazare started a 'fast unto death' at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, to exert pressure on the Government of India to enact a strong anti-corruption act as envisaged in the Jan Lokpal Bill, a law that will establish a Lokpal (ombudsman) that will have the power to deal with corruption in public offices. The whole country was in support of the Anna. Govt recognized the importance of this movement and finally he agreed to make a committee to make the bill.

In September 2009, Gaddafi visited the US for the first time for his first appearance at the UN General Assembly.

In February 2011, major political protests broke out in Libya against Gaddafi's government. As of February 23, 2011, Gaddafi is reported as having lost control of large parts of the country. In power since 1969, Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is the longest-serving leader in both Africa and the Arab world.

Due to strong public protest, Gaddafi is hiding & reported as escapes from Libyan.

Muammar Gaddafi and his forces lost the Battle of Tripoli in August, and on 16 September 2011 the NTC took Libya's seat at the UN, replacing Gaddafi. Gaddafi retained control over parts of Libya, most remarkably the city of Sirte, to which it was supposed that he had fled.
