BANGALORE: Pop sensation Britney Spears will spend the last two nights of 2009 on a luxury houseboat in the backwaters of God's Own Country. She will spend a day and two nights on a specially equipped houseboat that will float on the placid waters of Kumarakom. "She likes India, and Kerala is a new-found love for her. She will be accompanied by a friend. She will ring in the New Year while on the cruise," said a source who is aware of the preparations.

Britney's holiday organizer, a leisure water tourism player based in Allapuzha, has been asked to keep mum about her Kerala tour. "She is very particular about privacy during her holidays. She wants no media, no public glare. She wants to be with herself in a serene, romantic environment," said the source.

After her holidays, Spears will shoot for her new album in various locations in Kerala. The Kathakali dance and a herd of temple elephants are expected to be part of her new album.

The US-born Spears is a songwriter, producer, dancer, actress and entertainer. She has sold around 100 million records of her albums across the world so far. Spears was ranked the 13th most powerful celebrity and second highest earning young musician of 2009 by Forbes. She has reported earnings of over $35 million dollars in the year. The diva is believed to have visited India last year in December to meet dancer Sandip Soparrkar.
