- Story Text: American teen singing sensation Britney Spears has begun the German leg of her first European tour with a concert in Bremen - and had to contend with some probing questions from the German media when she threw a press conference - some of them 'virgin' on the very personal! She's only 18 years old, but teen singing queen Britney Spears is logging a lot of miles as she continues her travels on her first ever European Tour.
Spears arrived in Bremen, Germany, on Tuesday (October 18), being received by a throng of media anxious to get the inside scoop on the pop icon.
Originally from a small town in Louisiana, Spears has taken to European fans.
"Actually to my surprise the crowds here are like amazing," she told a packed press conference in Bremen.
"The people are insane."
An uncomfortable laugh filled the room when one reporter asked, if Spears, a role model to millions of young girls and known to wear quite revealing clothing, was a virgin? "Am I a virgin? "Yes, I am a virgin and I definitely want to try not to have sex until I'm married. I just want to wait for that special someone," Spears commented, recovering well from such an unexpected question.
And Spears said she was most amused by the rumour that she had something going on with Britain's Prince William.
But, she admitted she does have her own Prince now, and is dating fellow pop singer, Justin Timberlake, of the boy band, N-SYNC.
Spears admitted, "Well Justin and I are dating - we're going out.
"Its just really nice to have someone you know that understands what youre going through. And we've known each other since we were on the Mickey Mouse Club. So, hes like my best friend, you know.
Britney Spears has a packed schedule of a total of twenty-nine concerts during her European tour, stretching from England to Italy.
Her final tour performance will be in Manchester, England on November 19.
As for the singers future after the tour, she flatly denied rumors of being cast in a remake of Grease, but says she would love to try to take to another stage, the big screen.
So far, however, she says shes had no movie offers that have interested her.
