Britney Spears sheds all in support of hurricane relief

LOS
ANGELES—US pop princess Britney Spears is giving her all to help victims
of Hurricane Katrina in the US state of Mississippi — even one of her
bra’s, the eBay auction site showed. The 23-year-old former teen queen,
famed for her provocative stage outfits, has donated a treasure trove of
personal items — including a two-piece sofa, a bikini and a
jewel-encrusted brassiere — to be auctioned off to help victims.
The “white-stone” undergarment, worn by the singer in one of her music
videos, sports “a variety of sizes of round white stones and silver-tone
beads in this intricately designed bra,” according to online auctioneer
eBay. The sparkling bra, which has already garnered offers of up to 610
dollars in the online auction that began on Saturday and will last a
week, however, sports a broken link in the centre piece connecting its
cups, eBay noted.
A two-piece, six-seat sofa owned by Spears is also on the block, with
560 dollars in bids so far received, while an oversized daybed had
notched up a top offer of 390 dollars. A white two-piece swimsuit once
worn by the shapely singer has fetched bids of up to 320 dollars.
Other items include shoes, hats, handbags, a T-shirt, jewellery, a pair
of red jeans and a set of bar-stools. Proceeds from the sale will go to
the Mississippi Hurricane Recovery Fund which on Saturday staged a
concert in Mississippi to benefit victims of the storm that struck the
US Gulf Coast on August 29, leaving more than 1,000 people dead. Spears
last month gave birth to her first baby with husband Kevin Federline. |
