Britney Spears is currently working on her new album and apparently it will not contain any venting about the personal issues that have plagued her over the last year (so no baby, no divorce, no rehab, no crotch shots, no no no…you get the point). In many articles, Nate “Danja” Hills, one of her many producers working on the new album, says:

There was no, ‘I need to let it all out’. She said she deals with that in another way. She didn’t let none of her personal life into what she was doing…She wanted to stay away from being personal.

It’s fun, it’s basic and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s about feeling good, celebrating womanhood. And if you don’t dance to it, I really don’t know what you’re listening to.

She wanted to stay away from being personal? Good. Last time she was “being personal,” she ended up with the clunker “Dear Diary” which she wrote herself. Let’s take a little looksies at those lyrics, shall we…?

Dear Diary,
Today I saw a boy and I wondered if he noticed me,
he took my breath away.

Dear Diary,
I can’t get him off my mind
and it scares me ’cause I’ve never felt this way.
No one in this world knows me better than you do,
so diary I’ll confide in you.

Dear Diary,
Today I saw that boy as he walked by I thought he smiled at me,
and I wondered
does he know what’s in my heart?
I tried to smile, but I could hardly breathe.
Should I tell him how I feel
or would that scare him away?
Diary, tell me what to do,
please tell me what to say.

Dear Diary,
One touch of his hand,
now I can’t wait to see that boy again.
He smiled,
and I thought my heart could fly.

Diary, do you think that we’ll be more than friends?
yeahea yeahea yea oh

I’ve got feeling we’ll be so much more.. than friends.
ooh.. yea yea yea

Reading these now, I am shocked - did no one see this as an initial cry for help?! She is asking her diary - her little bound book - for social advice!!! And those “yeahea yeahea yea oh’s” are just plain creepy. No wonder she went to the clippers.

Britney, thank you for putting down your diary - and please continue to bring us those danceable BEATS! I’m rootin’ for ya.
