Britney Spears: "The Whole Year Has Been a Hell of a Ride"

In January's Glamour, Britney Spears opens up about her "crazy year," her new album Circus and her future.
"The whole year has been a hell of a year for me," she says, referring to her forced psychiatric hospitalizations, loss of custody of her two sons and infamous head shaving.
Recording her latest album Circus -- which drops Tuesday on her 27th birthday -- "has helped take my mind off certain things," she says. "For me, my music is therapy."
The singer -- who made her first live performance Wednesday in Germany since her rocky 2007 MTV Video Music Awards stint -- also admits she "didn't know exactly where I stood with everyone" after the past year.
"When I received the awards and [the audience] stood for me, it showed me how much love is out there," says Spears, who swept the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
Her life is calmer these days, she says.
"I don't like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people," the singer tells Glamour. "I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I'm kind of boring."
She's also been hitting the gym.
On her post-baby body, Spears says, "My body...completely changed [after giving birth], and I have had to work hard at getting it back."

Michael J. Fox Never Giving Up Hope

Ten years after shocking the world with the announcement that he has Parkinson's, Michael J. Fox is aggressively fighting the disease – and says he still sees a bright future ahead. "Based on how I feel now," the star tells PEOPLE in its new issue, "I'll be okay for at least 10 more years." Since leaving Spin City in 2000 – two years after revealing his Parkinson's diagnosis on the cover of PEOPLE magazine – Fox, 47, has been focused on raising his four kids with wife Tracy Pollan, 48, and helping The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research pour $140 million into fighting the disease. Fox has found a successful combination of medications to keep his symptoms under control. But, he says, the progression of the disease is unavoidable, and "at some point every day" he enters a state of what doctors call "bradykinesia" – in which his arms hang heavy at his side. But the actor tells PEOPLE he doesn't want anyone feeling sorry for him. In fact, Fox says, having Parkinson's "is part of an amazing life." And it's not "an otherwise amazing life," he clarifies. "It's part of what makes my life amazing."
