[edit] Introducing Britney Rears
Britney Rears came to prominence in the spring of 2005. Director Will Rider identified Jessica Sweet, who bears some resemblance to Spears, as an actress who could play the role of Britney. Britney Rears: Wild Back Stage Sex Party was a successful venture for the company VCA. Sweet was listed in the credits as Britney Rears on the first two movies, in addition to using it as her stage name for appearances, feature dancing[4] and performing much of the first two films music[5]. The Howard Stern Show played the first film's theme song, "I Wanna Get Laid" on numerous occasions[5] due to radio safe version having been prepared for the show[4].
Sweet would reprise the role in Britney Rears 2: I Wanna Get Laid. The plot was loosely based on Britney Spears's marriage to Kevin Federline, with the character Rears having recently married a man named Kevin.
[edit] The 2nd Britney
Sweet was replaced by Rears 2 co-star Hillary Scott for the third installation Britney Rears 3: Britney Gets Shafted. In it, Rears purchases a time traveling machine and travels back to 1974. The plot for the third movie is a play on Spears cameo in the similarly themed Austin Powers in Goldmember. The Britney Rears 3 is the most successful film of the series, in terms of awards, being nominated for Best Sex Comedy in the 2007 AVN Awards[2], and winning for Best Comedy or Parody at the XRCO Awards the same year[3].
Scott returned in fourth film, Britney Rears 4: Britney Goes Gonzo featured a change to the use of gonzo cinematography instead of the more conventional cinematic style used on the first three installments[6]The film's scenes are connected by a plot revolving around aphrodesiac "Britney Pops" which Rears had begun endorsing.[7] One unusual bit of casting was the return of former Britney Jessica Sweet in a different part[7]. While the film was in post-production, Hillary Scott signed an exclusive contract with rival studio SexZ pictures[8], but was allowed to continue work on promoting the film. It is unknown if Scott will be allowed to return for any future films in the series[7].
