BRITNEY’S FED UP WITH LA    ·    November 10th, 2006

Britney Spears is set to leave Los Angeles to get away from her dumped husband Kevin Federline.

Friends reckon she will ditch the Malibu mansion where she and “K-Fed” spent so much time arguing and move to New York to relaunch her pop career.

One pal said: “Everywhere Britney has been in New York, people have been really nice to her.

“It’s the kind of place she needs right now. She wants to buy somewhere to raise her family, a place that’s kid-friendly.

“She wants to meet a nice guy and she doesn’t want to be isolated in some mansion. She’s done that already and it’s not good for her.”

The star’s brother Bryan is based in Manhattan and is said to be behind her decision to move to the Big Apple.

Britney, 24, texted Federline, 28, on Monday to say she was divorcing him. They both want custody of Jayden James - born eight weeks ago - and 14-month-old Sean Preston.
