I can't wait to sit down and watch the Britney Spears documentary in its entirety.

A 30-minute excerpt from For the Record was screened by the press yesterday, and the tidbits that were shown are juicy!  The documentary begins the day after her Brit made a splash on this year's VMAs, and follows her for three months.

Here is some of what you'll hear:

  • On Justin Timberlake:
    "With Justin, he was part of the magnitude of what I had become. So when he was gone I was like, What am I supposed to do with myself? I was devastated [by the breakup] but I handled it a lot better than the [split] with Kevin....He started to do an album for himself and he started to do things for himself, and I just never saw him anymore....When it ended I felt so alone. I didn't really wanna think about the reality of it. I never faced it....I just ran."

  • On losing it in 2007:
    "My trust has really been battered....Sometimes it can get kinda lonely....I had totally lost my way. I lost focus. I lost myself. I let certain people into my life that were just bad people...because I was lonely....I really paid the consequences for that. Big time....What the hell was I thinking?"

  • On the price of fame:
    "At first, it's amazing, the first year or two, because it's like, I'm a celebrity!....It didn't really touch me until I had been working for six years....I wanted to just stop. I wanted to create a new life."

  • On how she's feeling currently:
    "Do I know my life is weird? It's all I've ever known. I don't see it as being weird....I'm kind of stuck in this place and I'm like, How do you deal? I just cope with it every day....It's better not to feel anything at all and have hope than to feel the other way....It's bad. I'm sad. It's like [the movie] Groundhog Day every day. It's really boring....Normal is really different for everybody....In my situation, I try to make it as normal as possible for me....It could be a lot worse. There are people out there who have it a lot worse than I do....I used to be a cool chick but I feel like the paparazzi has taken that away from me, like, the way I used to live my life. I used to be a cool chick but I'm not anymore."

Are you excited? Are you going to watch? My answers -- yes and hell, yes.

I can't believe anyone feels sorry for this woman. She only has herself to blame.

I understand how easy it is to loose yourself. Especially during times of lost and sadness. Im 40 y.o. never done drugs and went through some very tramatic things in my life all in a 6 month time. I also lost myself and made poor choices including a substance problem with opiates. DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE> you have no idea what you would do if you were in those people's shoes.

Oh Britney, you're still a cool chick. You just had emotional problems and the papparazi took advantage of that inorder to sell you. They wanted to exploit you. DONT BELIEVE THEM! You are a great person with a great heart. we all lose it sometimes, but instead of helping another we exploit them. THATS NOT WHO YOU REALLY ARE. Its what you became for a short period of time, and now thats over. Get back to doing it great!!!! I love ur music and youre a great preformer. YOU ROCK BRITNEY. Show the haters how its done. You'll always be you, and they;'ll always be the ones underneath you trying to bring you down but you STAND UP GIRL. YOU STAND UP. DONT LISTEN TO THEM, JUST SHINE BRITNEY YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR WOHOO

How would you guys like helicopters over your house while you're having a breakdown and you're at a moment when you are trying to escape reality. Do people take pictures of you guys when you are crying? or arguing with your parents or when you go to your room and punch the walls? How about that party when you get cocked and puke your brains out? Anyone taking pics of you?

I still love Brit and think the media need to leave her alone.

Mandie said:

I agree with the last two comments!! Britneys awesome! When your a celebrity you have to deal with the papparazi, its not fair, but its just how it is. How do the papparazi live with themself, I don't know, everyone is trying to make a buck these days in sometimes unmoral ways. PEOPLE CAN BE SO EVIL. I just want the old Britney back, she truely has a magenetic ability to woo her crowd, keep them wanting more. GIME ME MORE LoL. I want more music! And as for the first person who made the comment, get a life you cold hearted person who can't empathsize. How would you feel if you got stuck in a hole and instead of everyone trying to help you they only pointed and laughed. Overconfident are we- to think it wouldnt ever happen to you, princess ;)

Oh brother!! You people are such idiots!!! Poor Britnany! OMG she is a grown woman with children she needs to grow up get a handle on herself....stop pointing the finger and start caring for her two kids....because it isn't about her anymore...she has two little ones who need a coherant mother who can care for them. I am sorry but she brought most of it on herself.
