Britney Spears not giving birth in Namibia    ·    June 19th, 2006

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) Claims that Britney Spears is planning to have her next baby in Namibia are a hoax.

The rumours - which spread across the internet like wildfire on Friday (16.06.06) - suggested the ‘Toxic’ singer was planning to copy Angelina Jolie and give birth in the southern African country.

It all started after someone claiming to represent Britney called Namibia’s Deputy Environment and Tourism Minister, Leon Jooste.

He explained: “She has shown interest to come over to Namibia.

“Nothing has been confirmed yet, but there is a definite possibility of that happening.”

Jooste added: “She wants to come in very low profile and have some privacy. She might change her mind if we reveal too much now.” However, a spokesperson for the mum-of-one said: “There is no truth in this.”

Britney, 24, already has one child, 9-month-old Sean Preston, with 28-year-old husband Kevin Federline. The couple are expecting their second baby in September.

Last week, the singer revealed that her marriage is “awesome” - but admitted she is an “emotional wreck”.

She opened her heart about her allegedly failing marriage in an interview on US TV.

The star admitted she finds the constant rumours about the demise of her marriage “sad” because she “thinks everyone should be pro-love”.
