Britney wants to touch hearts

WHEN it was time for singing sensation Britney Spears to make her debut movie she was adamant ... the Louisiana lady didn't want "just a simple teen movie" ... she wanted "to touch Hearts, and say to other girls out there that they're not alone in what they're going through."

Thus, in Crossroads, Spears plays Lucy, who along with childhood friends Kit (Zoe Saldana) and Mimi (Taryn Manning), re-united at their High School graduation prom, decide to hit the road with Mimi's handsome and mysterious friend, Ben (Anson Mount), in his cool convertible ... they are making good on a childhood pact to go in search of their destiny.
