BEIJING, Nov. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- Britney Spears is
looking for a new home in Miami, Florida, after the seething reports about her
divorce with Kevin Federline, U.S. media said Friday.

with Federline earlier this month and was later counter-sued by Federline

been shopping for houses in the Miami-area with a price around 29 million
dollars.

comeback, negotiating a 20-week performance contract at the Palms Hotel and
Casino in Las Vegas.

exclusive Sin City gig.

It's over: Britney to divorce
Federline
BEIJING,
Nov. 8 (Xinhuanet) -- The guessing game over Britney Spears' stormy marriage
finally got a result: the Baby One More Time singer has filed for divorce
from her dancer husband Kevin Federline of two years and one month.
Spears, 24, cited irreconcilable differences on her
divorce petition, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday,
according to media reports.
Publicists for the singer was not immediately
available for comment.
Spears asked for sole custody of her two sons with
Federline, one-year-old Sean Preston, and James Jayden, born on Sept. 12. She
did agree in the filing to let Federline have visitation rights.
News of Spears' divorce came just one day after she
made a surprise appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, where she
laughed and joked with the veteran chat show host but gave no clue of the
impending announcement.
Spears married Federline after a six-month courtship
in 2004. In January that year, she married childhood friend Jason Alexander
in Las Vegas, and anulled that marriage after 55 hours.
Rumors that the marriage was rocky had been
circulating for months. But Spears denied she was estranged from her husband,
saying he had helped her weather the ups and downs of her second pregnancy.
The pop singer shot to superstardom in late 1998,
with her smash hit debut album Baby One More Time which she followed with
another chart-topping success the following year, Oops!...I Did It Again.
According to Time magazine, Spears has sold over 76
million records worldwide and her 31 million albums sold in the U.S. make her
the eighth best-selling female artist in American music history.
