If you’re wondering what was going through Britney Spears ‘ head during her recent chaotic times — so is she!

“I sit there and I look back, and I’m, like, ‘I’m a smart person. What the hell was I thinking?'” Britney said in an interview to air Nov. 30 on MTV, two days before the release of her new album. “I’ve been through a lot in the past two or three years, and there’s a lot that people don’t know.”

The 90-minute special, “Britney: For The Record,” was executive-produced by Britney’s manager Larry Rudolph. It features behind-the-scenes footage and Britney discussing her crazy life over the past two years.

She’s got a lot to talk about: In that time span, including a divorce, a custody battle and rehab. She has had very public meltdowns and one memorably bad performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

Now on the comeback trail, Brit is releasing her sixth album, “Circus,” on Dec. 2, when she turns 27. She snagged three 2008 MTV Music Awards in September.

Britney says she’s hoping this TV special will “set the record straight.”

It has not been totally smooth sailing for Britney recently. One of Britney’s ex-boyfriends revealed recently that he owns a sex tape starring himself and the former Mouseketeer — and he will sell it, if the price is right.

Adnan Ghalib , the shutterbug and former flame who infamously dated Britney during her breakdown, told Heat magazine, “There is such a tape, but I won’t discuss prices for hypothetical enquiries. Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further.”

The alleged footage runs about two hours and features the singer wearing nothing but a pink wig, an unconfirmed source tells Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
