times fewer particles than the other vacuum cleaners tested putting the show together, writing its theme song, "Follow Me," which the younger Spears sings. "Yes sir, she wrote it and I changed a few little words here and there. But she helped me a lot," said Spears, who bears a striking resemblance to her 23-year-old sister. She doesn't know yet if Britney will make a guest appearance on the show, but adds it would be "really cool" if she did. Champagne Top of the line Direct conned ma si accessories Muscle Vacuum Cleaner dine University, and the Malibu campus, with its palm trees and stunning hilltop views of the sun-dappled Pacific Ocean, dominates the show almost as much Spears' Zoey does.

The Kentwood, teenager has taken advantage of that, ferrying some of her school chums to California to visit the set "They just love the show," she said. "They pick on me, of course. But they love whenever I go to LA to do the show because they get to come up and visit and they get to be extras in the background." Her sister also got involved in them with leaf blowers. She had based the character on her great-grandmother. "Based on her audition, I would have added her to the cast of 'All That' even if she had not been a Spears," said Schneider, adding the secret to her success both as an actress and a person seems to rest in the fact she doesn't realize she's beautiful, famous and talented.

"The net result is you have this real girl talking to you, sort of like the girl next door." "Zoey 101," meanwhile, marks the first time Schneider has gone on location to film a TV show.

The result, "Zoey 101," airs Sundays on Nickelodeon. The sitcom stars Spears as Zoey Brooks, a student at Pacific Coast Academy, a campus that until her arrival and that of a handful of other girls had been an exclusive all-boys boarding schooL Zoey, not to be intimidated by her swaggering, macho 13-year-old male counterparts, quickly begins to take charge, something Spears doubts she would be as eager to do in real life. "Zoey's kind of like a leader," she reflected. "I guess I could say I lead in some ways, but Zoey is so good at that I'm a little more shy than Zoey, I'd say." The two are alike in some ways, adds Spears, whose Southern accent is far more noticeable in conversation than Zoey's is in front of the camera.

Like Zoey, pink is her favorite color, and she loves wearing the same clothes as her character. "All her clothes, I'm like, 'Can I have 'em?" she says, laughing. The youngest Spears has never been far from show business. By the time she was walking, Britney Spears had made her debut on TVs "The New Mickey Mouse Club." She was just 8 when Britney's first album came out in 1999. As for her shyness, if it's born out of being the youngest of three children, Spears insists she wouldn't have it any other way.

"I was always mom and daddy's little baby," she giggled. "I was spoiled the most" After going through what she calls her "tomboy stage," she became interested in acting and began appearing in local plays. Her mother, seeing the interest, helped her land a commercial and a small role in her sister's film "Crossroads." Then Nickelodeon came calling, asking her to audition for "All That," the long-running variety show that, like "Saturday Night Live," changes ensemble casts every few years. Its alumni include Amanda Bynes and Nick Cannon, who went on to star in films and their own TV shows. Schneider, the executive producer of "All That," said it took only two seasons for Spears to become the show's breakout star.

She had won her spot in the cast when, as a gangly 11-year-old, she did an over-the-top impression of an 84-year-old bodyguard who pitches people out of windows and attacks 89 SRQ99 '39 uu SUBSCRIBE OR n- (dsw(i rv4 I i rl AIT 810 Model CONVERT A FUREKA Completely cleans t.i bare-floor surfaces Migtlty Mite -Tools Onboard rt EUREKA Victory Clean air design has built-in motor fan protection system quieter operation ueiuxe noor orusn; bare-floor nozzle 79' Back-baver Handle light weight, reduce cleaning effort SAVE $40 1 rar JU UUVJ Cfni -i 1 1 I 1 1 II 'H -Miiij "rmM.jur1 Powerful 12 amp motor 15" cleaning path tr i i 1 7989 Qt!
