...silence is golden," a Spears insider tells TIME. The pop star's latest single, "3," hit airwaves on Sept. 29 to tremendous buzz (Rolling Stone called it a "surefire dance-floor stomper"), and will be part of her upcoming box set The Singles Collection, due out Nov. 24, which commemorates her 10 years in the record industry.

If it was a baptism by fire, it was "a really beautiful one," she recalls. "It was my first film but boy was I agog." She remembers rookie director Wright as "a great coaxer," and took acting notes from her costar, who she calls "an exquisite performer."
