BRITNEY SPEARS,17
She's a sexy and 17, and the way she growls, "Oh, baby, baby" seems very grown-up--but pop's reigning queen is first and foremost a nice Southern girl (no matter what conclusions you jumped to after seeing her revealing Rolling Stone cover). "People come to my house", says the Louisiana-born Britney, "they're like,'Lord!''Cause when I'm at home, the last thing I want to do is put a lick of makeup on," The next-to-last thing she'd do is prance around in the alluring wardrobe from her hot"...Baby One More Time" video. "I'm totally a bum," admits the former Mousekeeper--a bum who reached No.1 on the Billboard album and singles charts simultaneously, the first solo act ever to accomplish that with a debut. Next, Britney will revisit her TV roots by guesting on three Dawon's Creek episodes, to air in the fall. "I've been working a really long time for this",she says of stardom."I've hoped and dreamed that all of this would come to reality." Mission accomplished.
