Britney Spears<\/a>: A True Story, Allegedly\u2019 tome will be out 10 June, and promises to explore the pop star\u2019s \u201chistoric rise and equally tragic fall\u201c through Gonzo journalism.<\/p>\nJeff, 42, is a Los Angeles-based writer who covered Britney\u2019s every move in the mid-2000s. <\/p>\n
His latest work, described as a \u201cfrenetic account\u201d in the style of iconic Gonzo writer Hunter S Thompson, follows the singer through key moments of her life, from high-profile relationships and annulled marriages to legal battles and her widely criticised 2007 MTV Video Music Awards performance. <\/p>\n
\nThe 400-page book aims to capture \u201ca roaring K\u00fcnstlerroman (a book about an artist\u2019s development from youth to maturity) of celebrity, obsession, morality and the last great pop star\u201d, according to its publisher, MCD Books.<\/p>\n
\nJeff was quoted by Page Six saying: \u201cI wanted to capture the whirlwind of Britney\u2019s life and the culture that consumed her.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe story is chaotic because her life was chaotic.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBritney Spears wasn\u2019t just a person \u2013 she was an era. And that\u2019s what I wanted to capture.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nIn addition to his years of tabloid reporting, the author previously wrote an in-depth analysis of Britney\u2019s 2000 album, \u2018Oops!\u2026 I Did It Again\u2019 in 2020, marking its 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n
\nHis new book\u2019s release will come nearly two years after Britney published her own memoir, \u2018The Woman in Me\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nIt topped the New York Times bestseller list. <\/p>\n
\nThe 288-page autobiography saw Britney, 43, recount her family\u2019s troubled history, her career highs and lows and her past relationships with Justin Timberlake, 44, Kevin Federline, 46, and 31-year-old Sam Asghari. <\/p>\n
\nIn the memoir, she revealed she had an abortion while dating Justin in the early 2000s and admitted to infidelity, leading to their highly publicised breakup.<\/p>\n
\nFollowing the book\u2019s success, \u2018The Woman in Me\u2019 is now being adapted into a biopic by \u2018Wicked\u2019 director Jon M Chu. <\/p>\n
\nAccording to Page Six, Britney is expected to be involved in the film\u2019s production, though casting has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
