In 2000’s, Britney Spears, Shakira, Christina Aguilera and other celebs were the idols of millions of young women and girls all over the world. Back then finding a poster or stickers with their images was trendy. We have collected the photos of celebs in 2000’s versus now and also got some information related with their present day activities

Shakira

Shakira gained popularity after the release of her track “Whenever, whenever”. In 2001, her album was the best-seller worldwide. Everyone loved Shakira – she was so incendiary and unique. She starred also in a  few movies, auditioned cartoons and was also quite active in charity work.

Shakira’s personal life was also active – romances  with the son of the President of Argentina and a  Barcelona footballer.  Shakira eventually married the footballer and gave birth to her son, Sasha. Just recently she has changed her image by dying her hair pink and stopped wearing her famous curls.

Avril lavigne

All informals admired Avril, because she was playing vibrant music. Her appearance was catchy – the singer looked more like a rebel teenager: she was using  black eyeshadows, wearing ties and sneakers, T-shirts with straps- not much common back in 2000’s.

Lavigne was called “AntiBritney”  – for her behavior and catchy image. The singer admitted this  herself: “I am not some kind of plastic doll  you can tell what to do or how to behave. That’s why they call me AntiBritney.”

Avril’s first album was released in 2002. The circulation was phenomenal – 16 million copies. In addition to singing, Lavigne starred in films, and designed a clothing brand.

Avril married twice before meeting her husband. The first two were musicians. The third and the last one was a son of an American billionaire and had no ties in the world of show business.

In 2015, Avril revealed that she was suffering from Lyme disease, which left her unable to get out of bed. She had to give up her career for a while. The treatment had a negative impact on Avril’s appearance: she gained weight.

Thankfully, Lavigne is now pursuing her career again. Before the start of the pandemic, she traveled with concerts around America.

Emmy Lee

Emmy became famous after the release of the song of the group Evanescence, the famous  “My immortal”. Not only goths and emo were delighted with her, but also people who love high-quality vocals. Lee performs with the same group now. In 2007, she got married, and 7 years after gave birth to her son.

Christina Aguilera

Christine was considered a pop culture icon and called “the good girl who pretends to be a bad one”.

In 2008, she gave birth to a son, and gained considerable weight. Then she divorced her husband, who was abusing her and gained wight again. Christina admitted that she had no time, nor desire to take care of herself back then. In 2014, the daughter of Aguilera was born, and she gained weight again. She no longer looks like her former self. However, the singer was able to get rid of extra kilograms  following a  strict diet, but, still, she is more plus size.

Britney Spears

When Britney started her career, she was called “the most gifted underage pop idol”. Then she became a “pop princess”. Back then she was only 16 years old.

She had quite difficult personal life – been into  a bunch of unsuccessful marriages, treated against addictions and nervous breakdowns,  frequent visits to a psychiatric clinic, etc.

After this Britney was taken under the guardianship of her father. Fans began to worry about her condition, because they believed that she was forcibly kept in clinics, not allowed to choose how to live and what to do. The singer tried to dispute the court’s decision on guardianship, but her claim was rejected.
