	  <title><![CDATA[Britney Spears turns 30 today]]></title>
	  <description><![CDATA[<p>Today, <a href="/pg/newsdesk/britneyspears/" target="_self">Britney Spears</a> celebrates her 30th birthday in South America.</p>
<p>The singer will be taking a night off from her Femme Fatale tour to celebrate this milestone age.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The mother-of-two first came to our attention when she released 'Baby One More Time' in 1999 when she was just 17 years old.</p>
<p>2011 was a triumph for Spears with a number one album, 'Femme Fatale', under her belt and a number one hit with 'Hold It Against Me'.</p>
<p>To mark this day for the star, WENN have compiled some interesting facts:</p>
<p>- Britney is currently on tour in South America, where she plans to throw a "spectacular" themed bash to celebrate her big day in Mexico.</p>
<p>- The now-iconic schoolgirl outfit Britney wore in the music video for her debut single 'Baby One More Time' cost just $17 (&pound;10) and was purchased from discount chain K-Mart.</p>
<p>- The singer is a big fan of body art and has a number of tattoos, including dice, a fairy, Chinese and Hebrew lettering, flowers and a lipstick kiss on her wrist.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><center></p>
<p><img src="/mod/epk/thumbnail.php?file_guid=36498&amp;size=large" border="0" /></p>
<p></center></p>
<p>- She played a closeted lesbian on Will &amp; Grace and a lovesick receptionist on How I Met Your Mother. Alicia Silverstone was also booked to guest star as her colleague in the latter, but she pulled out over fears she would be "overshadowed" by Britney.</p>
<p>- Her shocking smooch with <a href="/pg/newsdesk/madonna/" target="_self">Madonna</a> at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003 was voted the top kiss of the decade, while her performance with a Burmese Python at the 2008 VMA was hailed the most memorable moment in the prizegiving's history.</p>
<p>- Despite being one of the most famous faces in the world, Britney doesn't own a cell phone, insists on making her own bed every morning, and <a href="/pg/newsdesk/britneyspears/view/36226/" target="_self">loves cleaning her home</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
