@lissthere: During a widely discussed 2003 ABC Primetime interview, conducted by Diane Sawyer in Britney Spears' apartment at the height of media obsession with her personal life, the then-22-year-old singer was questioned about her spending habits. After bringing up reports that Britney had spent large sums on clothing and sportswear, Sawyer bluntly asked, "Is it an addiction?" A visibly surprised Britney repeated the question before calmly responding that she didn't see shopping as an addiction-it simply made her happy. She explained that buying things like hats and shoes made her feel pretty and feminine, insisting it wasn't a problem. In the years since, the exchange has been frequently cited as an example of the intrusive and judgmental tone that characterized much of the media's treatment of Spears during that era.
