Britney Spears poses for the December issue of 'Lucky' mag, on newsstands Nov. 6.

Britney Spears is getting Lucky, the cover of Lucky mag's December issue, that is.

And even though she's 30, and far from those early Mickey Mouse days, she's still battling zits and talking about boys (her own).

Highlights from the interview:

On the perks of being a mega-star and the woes of having zits: "I get, like, these giant boxes of lip gloss and nail polish, and it's like candy." Not that she actually wears all of it. "I really just wear mascara all the time. And powder, because I have zits."

On what set fiancé Jason Trawick, apart from her other boyfriends (and two husbands): "He was sweet." For example: "He says he doesn't mind that I sit around in sweats all the time."

On how her two sons react to her being, well, Britney Spears: "They're in the middle right now of trying to figure it out. They try to figure out where I go when I go to film X Factor. They're like, 'Mommy's going off to be a superhero.' and then I get back, and they just see me as Mommy. And then when I'm back working on the show, they say, 'Oh, Mommy's a superhero again!'"

On how she occupies her time when she's not being 'Britney the Icon': "I work out. I swim. I play with the kids, I cook and I garden. We play Connect Four. We play Candy Land. Last night we read The Night Pirates."

On dealing with her haters: "It's just something that you get used to in this business."

On the number of shoes in her closet: With a terrified look, the mag reports, Spears says, "I don't know. A lot." When pressed, she stammers, "I don't know, 50." She quickly responds, "Is that not enough?" (Our answer: No, Brit-Brit, you can never have enough shoes!)

On her current fashion obsession: "Big, stupid earrings, like with loops and feathers."

On the item you won't catch her wearing: "I never wear socks. I hate socks."

On her fashion icons: She calls Jennifer Lopez, "A classic beauty," and of Sarah Jessica Parker, she says, "Her looks are really bright and funky and young."
