BEIJING,
Dec. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Newly-single pop star Britney Spears has
purchased a five-bedroom Mediterranean-style villa in Beverly Hills for 7.2
million U.S. dollars.
The villa includes a swimming pool, library, media room,
and maid's quarters.
Celebrity real estate agent Barbara Corcoran said Tuesday:
"Britney's new house is a perfect party pad."
Spears has already moved out of the Malibu, California,
home she shared with estranged husband Kevin Federline and is keen to move into
her new property as soon as possible.
In another development, Spears was named world's worst
celebrity dog owner in online vote by readers of two dog magazines.
"Britney was the overwhelming choice" for worst celebrity
dog owner for 2006, Hilary O'Hagan, editor of The New York Dog and The Hollywood
Dog magazines, said in a statement.
"She once had three Chihuahuas … and never left home
without at least one of them on her arm," O'Hagan said. "As soon as she met
K-Fed and had kids they (the dogs) disappeared."
