While the Backstreet Boys and Nsync engage in a pissing match over who can sell the most hamburgers, Britney Spears actually has the chance to elevate herself above the teen pop fray and start to mature. After all, Christina Aguilera still can't shake her Grand Slut title, the 98 Degrees boys are still souped up on steroids and can't dance, Jessica Simpson has the vocabulary of a third grader, Mandy Moore isn't legal, etc. But then Britney embarrassed everyone and their mother by a) covering the Rolling Stone's "Satisfaction" live at the Video Music Awards...

The Boys--er, the Twentysomethings--are currently holed up in a studio in their home base of Orlando, Fla., working on their as-yet-untitled new album, which...
...size of a quarter. It weighs less than an ounce--you could almost mistake it for an after-dinner mint. Big whoop, you say? Slot one of these babies into an MP3 player, and you've got storage space for about 20 hours' worth of music. The Backstreet Boys never sounded so good...
