Britney Spears was America's sweetheart when news broke that she eloped with her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, on a New Year's trip to Las Vegas in 2004. "She just came out
and asked me," Alexander told ABC News. "She was like, 'Well, let's get married.' And I was like, 'Sure. You know, let's do this.'" Britney annulled the marriage, stating she "lacked understanding of her actions, to the extent that she was incapable of agreeing to the marriage."
