Britney Spears got herself a real Hollywood heavy-hitter to record the bulk of her audiobook — Michelle Williams, the 5-time Oscar nominee.
Britney made the big announcement Friday morning that the audio version of “The Woman in Me” will be recorded by Michelle. Britney herself did record the prologue to her memoir, but Michelle did the rest.
Brit told People, “Reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching, and emotional, to say the least. For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audiobook.”

Britney says she’s grateful to Michelle for doing the heavy lifting in the recording booth.

As Michelle put it, “I stand with Britney.”
