Reformed Britney 'saves the world'

She's been to hell and back - but now Britney Spears actually seems to be doing something useful for a change.
The troubled star is auctioning off six costumes she wore on her US TV comedy appearance, to save penguins and other endangered animals.
She made her comeback last night as she appeared on American sitcom How I Met Your Mother.
Britney played receptionist, Abby, who became obsessed with the main character Ted. The performance was praised for being funny - for all the right reasons.
She's now auctioning off the wardrobe from her cameo, with all the items she wore going under the hammer for charity at auction site seenon.com.
Already some of the dresses have reached bids of almost $1,000.
They will be sold online with the proceeds going to environmental group, the Natural Resources Defence Council.
The items up for sale include a Nanette Lepore embroidered rust coloured Dress, navy print Juicy Couture dress, a cream Nannette Lepore cardigan with blue beaded flowers and a yellow Nannette Lepore dress.


Chanelle is taking the mic

WATCH out Kylie, there’s a new pop princess following in your spark-ling footsteps.
And Chanelle Hayes is hoping that some of Ms Minogue’s magic will rub off on her.When the Big Brother 8 babe takes to the stage this week to perform her new single I Want It, she’ll be warbling into a sexy Swarovski crystal-encrusted microphone that belongs to the pint-sized Aussie star.Chanelle says: “It’s really exciting launching my pop career. Who can compare themselves to Kylie? She’s amazing! But I’d love to be as successful as her.”The Wakefield babe’s bid for pop stardom will hit the small screen next month in VH1’s fly-on-the-wall show Chanelle: Wannabe Popstar.“The song actually sounds a bit like recent Britney,” she says. “To be able to go on iTunes and download my own song is a massive achievement for me. But I’m taking it slowly.”

“I’ve been putting everything into my music,” she says. “I’ve been working 15-hour days and then going home and playing with my gorgeous Pomeranian pup Crumpet.”
