BEIJING, June 13 (Xinhuanet) -- "I think everybody should be pro-love," 24-year-old pop singer Britney Spears told Today' show's Matt Lauer Monday.

    In an interview at her home in Los Angeles, she said her marriage of almost two years has been "awesome," and denied rumors that K-Fed has been banished to sleeping in the basement. 

The interview is scheduled to air Thursday both on the morning show and in the evening on Dateline.

    And she felt that the media has made her a target.

    Describing how the paparazzi have infringed upon her private life, she said, "I think 90 percent of the world would agree that the tabloids have gone a little far with me... They've crossed the line a little bit."

    The young, pretty platinum-selling pop artist once dated Justin Timberlake and then, after a whirlwind courtship, settled down with a backup dancer and announced how ready she was to start having babies. Then she had a baby. And now she's having another baby.

    When Lauer asked Spears if she had any message for the tabloids and photogs who are constantly on her case about motherhood, couplehood and every other type of hood, as well, she said:

    "You have babies at home. And... you have a life. And if you don't, you have to realize that we're people and that we... just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being."   Enditem
