What was the craziest thing to happen to Britney Spears last week?
She went to Target. Twice. She bought a CD. That was it. Sounds pretty boring for an international pop icon, but it's a great relief to those working to keep Britney Inc. in business.
For much of 2007 and 2008, Spears was an unhinged superstar unraveling daily in front of a captivated global audience and voracious media scrum. There were hours of aimless driving, underwear-free outings with Paris Hilton, a bizarre romance with a paparazzo, an involuntary psychiatric hold. But after more than a year of belching putrid black smoke, the Britney machine is humming along quite nicely, thank you, and these days it's about the music, not the antics. Did she really shave her head or was that just a bad dream?
"For me, the silence is golden," a Spears insider tells TIME. The pop star's latest single, "3," hit airwaves on Sept. 29 to tremendous buzz (Rolling Stone called it a "surefire dance-floor stomper"), and will be part of her upcoming box set The Singles Collection, due out Nov. 24, which commemorates her 10 years in the record industry. Other milestones have passed quietly. Spears just completed the European and U.S. legs of a grueling concert tour with a performance in Las Vegas, the same spot where two years ago she crashed and burned at the MTV Video Music Awards. After a brief rest, she will tour Australia in November.
