Britney Spears Plans TV Birth Fundraiser  9/4/05

Pregnant pop princess Britney Spears is planning to screen the birth of her baby in the next series of her reality TV show Britney and Kevin: Chaotic - and she will donate all profits to victims of Hurricane Katrina in her native state of Louisiana.

American TV networks are locked in a bidding war to raise a sum which could tempt the 23-year-old hitmaker to share her intimate moment later this year (05), with some offers reportedly hitting $9 million.

Despite previously rejecting the idea, the singer is now reconsidering because the lucrative sum could provide long term aid for the victims of last week's (begs29AUG05) natural disaster, which ravaged America's Gulf Coast.

A source tells British newspaper the Sunday Star, "Britney has been horrified by what has happened in new Orleans, she's a good Louisiana girl and she loves her home state.

"She's not particularly keen on filming the birth, but with all this talk of money she had to stop and think about what she could do with it.

"Brit was digging into her pockets as soon as she realized the extent of what had happened and if telly cats want to swell her donation then so be it.

"All she's concerned about is that the program is tastefully done and she gets her privacy."
