Britney Confirms Pregnancy

Britney Spears is pregnant again, and has announced that she is expecting her second child live on US TV.

She told The Tonight Show' host David Letterman on Tuesday (09.05.06):

"Don't worry, Dave, it's not yours."

To which he replied: "Oh. Well, I think that's good news for both of us."

Britney already has one son, Sean Preston, with husband Kevin Federline. The toddler was born last September - almost exactly a year after the 24-year-old singer and wannabe-rapper tied the knot. Kevin already has two children - Kori and Kaleb - with his former girlfriend, Shar Jackson, who he dumped for the 'Toxic' singer.

The impending birth means Spears will have to further delay her pop comeback, despite recently revealing that she planned to release new material this year.

She said: "I'm going to get back to work, but I'm going to do it with definite balance for my baby because I want him to have the best of both worlds."

Meanwhile, the young mum has taken time out to promote her new fragrance, In Control. At the launch, Britney - who already has two successful scents to her name, Curious and Fantasy - said: "This perfume is for empowered girls who want to take over the world - forget about the men!"

She added: "As I get older, the names go with my age."

We wish Britney the best of luck in pregnancy, music and taking over the world. It's her prerogative.
