Britney: 'I'm Not Perfect. I'm Human'

Spears Addresses Criticism Of Her Parenting In TV Interview

(CBS)  She added that her marriage to Federline is happy and denied reports that he's living in the basement of her house.

Lauer mentioned incidents that may have influenced the public's perception of her, like her much publicized quickie Vegas wedding to old friend Jason Alexander which was annulled 55 hours later.

"I have no regrets for anything I've ever done," Spears said, adding that she was rebelling at that point in her life.

Lauer also asked about the beginning of her relationship with Federline, which began when his then-girlfriend, Shar Jackson, was pregnant with his child.

"I didn't know until two months later," she responded. "But I don't blame him. … They weren't technically together when he came to me anyways. They were, you know, apart. But that happened with Julia Roberts, too."

Roberts began her relationship with cameraman Danny Moder while he was still married to Vera Steimberg. They divorced in 2002.

"But it's more talked about and more of an issue with me," Spears said, comparing herself to Roberts. "Like, her husband was married and had kids when they first got together. But for some reason it's like, boom! In your face when it happens with me, and it's really none of anybody's business."

Spears, it turns out, got her facts wrong, Moder and Steimberg didn't have any children.

Lauer asked her what she sees in Federline, who at one time was her backup dancer.

"It's very simple," she said. "Women complicate everything. He's so simple. His simplicity and, just, he's like a boy. He just, you know, and he cares. He cares so much and his heart is awesome. He has a really big heart and I love that."

The domesticated pop star, who admits that she does her own laundry, cleans and cooks, says she's not going to let the paparazzi or anyone else rule her life. "I still walk out of my house in rollers," she said. "I do not care what people think."

Spears said she wants the sex of her baby to be a surprise when she delivers in the fall. Motherhood, she said, has changed her life and she wants to give her son the "most normal life for him that's possible."
