Britney Spears V Magazine March 2011

Britney Spears covers the March 2011 issue of V Magazine, where the pop princess opens up about her new album, her two boys and navigating her fame as a mom.

Spears promises that her new album is "the best album I've ever made."

"I think Femme Fatale speaks for itself. I worked really hard on it and spent almost two years recording it," the 29-year-old Louisiana native says. "There's nothing to say. I'll let the music speak for me."

When asked about her troubled past, Spears said, "I'm past all of that. I try to block it all out and not pay attention to anything they write about me in the magazines or online, I'm done with that."

"I have learned to always stay true to myself and never let what other people say about me change who I am," Spears adds. "It's a really important lesson that took me a long time to learn."

When she's not busy with her music, Spears, who has two sons-- Sean, 5, and Jayden, 4, insists she's just like every other working mom.

"I love to cook, especially for my boys," she says. "I also make a mean southern sweet tea from a recipe my mom passed on to me. It's really good. I love it. I make it for my boys all the time."
