Now Spears joins Mandy Moore, in the surprise hit A Walk to Remember, and Aaliyah, in Queen of the Damned--the film the R.-and-B. star made just before her death--in a trifecta of teen queens turned screen queens. Girl power is back in the 'plexes, and this time it sings. Can the new batch of thrushes have the impact of Judy Garland, Betty Hutton, Lena Horne, Doris Day, Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Bette Midler, Madonna, Whitney Houston and Jennifer Lopez?
