Britney Spears Does Rolling Stone

Britney Spears has been busy focusing on her new album Circus, which comes out Dec. 2 – her 27th birthday and kicks off with a live performance that day in New York City on Good Morning America.

Her first single, “Womanizer,” has been slowly climbing the charts, and Spears debuted the album’s title track Tuesday on Elvis Duran’s Z100 morning show in New York City.

And with Thanksgiving coming up she isn’t taking time off and instead she boarded a plane Monday, heading to Europe to promote Circus overseas.

She is the cover girl for the December 11, 2008 issue of Rolling Stone Magazine which hits stands this Friday.  Here are some quotes from the mag about her feeling old and discussing some recent dating experiences:

 “I feel like an old person now.  I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don’t go out or anything.”

And on some recent dates:

  “Right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad.  He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier. … So I had to get dessert first.

“And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older. … We’re trying to ask him questions, like, ‘OK, you’re into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, all kinds.’ “

But when she’s not promoting her career and taking a little much deserved ‘me’ time, she is busy spending precious time with her two sons, Preston, 3, and Jayden, 2.  Although the boys spend most of their time with dad Kevin Federline, and Spears says she is critical of some of his parenting choices.

The children “are starting to learn words like ‘stupid,’ and Preston says the f-word now sometimes,” she says. “He doesn’t get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids.”
