FEDERLINE COME TO UPN
New Series To Share Their Personal Love Story Through Private Home
Videos And Revealing Interviews
MTV Music Group To Take Exclusive Second Window for the Show
Grammy Award-winning pop icon Britney Spears and husband Kevin
Federline have reached an agreement with UPN to broadcast a new
television series that shares their personal love story though
exclusive, never-before-seen private home videos they shot themselves
during their courtship, engagement and wedding. The series will
include six episodes to be broadcast on UPN later this season, it was
announced today by Dawn Ostroff, President, UPN.
This fun, uniquely personal series, shot mostly by Britney and Kevin
with their own camera, will give viewers a rare glimpse inside the
couple's relationship and life together. The footage begins shortly
after Britney and Kevin first met in Los Angeles and headed off to
Europe together on tour, leading up to and including their wedding day.
UPN is also shooting new footage and commentary with Britney and Kevin
that will guide viewers through their story. The show will have an
exclusive second window on MTV Music Group channels.
Britney stated, "I am so excited about the series. From the day that
Kevin and I met, there have been constant rumors and inaccurate
speculation about our lives together. I feel that last year the
tabloids ran my life and I am really excited about showing my fans what
really happened rather than all the stories, which have been
misconstrued by journalists in the past. As I mentioned before, I am
now going to be expressing my personal life through art. This series
will show us falling in love and all the adventures that went on
overseas during the European leg of my Onyx Hotel tour. It's going to
be an exciting ride." Kevin feels this project will speak for itself.
Simply put, he says, "It is a documentation of love."
"Britney Spears is a superstar who is very popular with UPN's viewers,
making her and Kevin's show in this format a perfect fit for our
network's audience and programming sensibilities," said Ostroff. "As
we all know, Britney and Kevin's life together has been played out in
front of the public through Internet speculation, the gossip columnists
and entertainment magazines, but now, for the first time, their
millions of fans will get to see and hear the couple's real story on
UPN as told directly by them."
"From her cutting edge videos to her multi-platinum albums, Britney has
been a dynamic force in the music industry, MTV and VH1, and we are
excited to partner with her on this special project," said Brian
Graden, President of Entertainment, MTV Music Group and President of
LOGO.
The deal includes repeat broadcasts of the series on MTV and/or VH1
music channels, which will run after the initial UPN broadcast. In
addition, leading into the big finale on UPN, the MTV Music Group
channels will run a marathon of the already televised episodes.
