- Britney Spears says Las Vegas is partly to blame for
her 55-hour marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander.
-
- "I totally believe in the sanctity of marriage,"
she said in an interview with MTV on Wednesday, before adding: "I
was in Vegas and it took over me."
-
- The pop singer expressed bemusement at the fuss her 3
January wedding caused. "We landed on Mars that day. Why aren't they
talking about that?" she said.
-
- Pressed on her feelings for Alexander, she replied: "That's
personal."
-
- But the singer did admit that the two of them "hit
it off completely".
-
- Annulled
-
- Spears and Alexander, both 22, married at the 24-hour
Little White Wedding Chapel early in the morning of 3 January.
-
- The wedding was annulled two days later, but not before
it made headlines around the world.
-
- Alexander, who grew up with Spears in Louisiana, recently
described the wedding as a "mistake".
-
- "We were just looking at each other and said, 'Let's
do something wild, crazy. Let's go get married, just for the hell of it',"
he told TV programme Access Hollywood.
-
- Spears' lawyer David Chesnoff denied reports that the
singer was intoxicated at the time of the wedding, and her record company
said the marriage had simply been a joke that went too far.
-
- Official court papers outlining the reasons for the annulment
said Spears and Alexander were "so incompatible that there was a want
of understanding of each other's actions in entering into this marriage".
-
- Spears, whose fourth album In The Zone was released last
November, has sold more than 54 million albums around the world since starting
her recording career in 1999.
