Britney Spears to Join Mardi Gras Celebration in New Orleans

Posted Feb 13th 2006 3:05PM by TMZ Staff

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Britney Spears, a Louisiana native, will celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans later this month when the devastated city hopes to revive some its old partying ways.

"I am honored to be a part of the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans this year," Spears said in a statement Monday. "It is so important for this amazing city to continue its annual traditions and I am really looking forward to being involved."

The 24-year-old pop star will appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Feb. 28 (7 a.m EST), when the morning show reports live from New Orleans. ABC announced that Spears will bring "surprises for a group of very deserving young residents."

The Mardi Gras parade season will run from Feb. 18-28; Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras Day, is Feb. 28.

Spears grew up in Kentwood, and has participated in fundraisers for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The singer also will guest star April 13 on NBC's "Will & Grace."

Last week, photos were published of Spears driving with her 4-month-old son, Sean Preston, sitting on her lap instead of being strapped to a car seat in the back seat. She first blamed pursuits by the paparazzi, but later said it was a "mistake."

On Monday, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta chided Spears as "irresponsible" for driving with her baby son on her lap and announced a new initiative to improve child car seat safety.

　　　　Anytime you need a friend
　　　Just for a little chat,
　　I am here with open ear
　For discussing this and that.


　　　　Any time you need a heart
　　　Ready for a little stroll
　　I'm here in the ocean of life
　So we can share about it all.


　　　　Anytime you need a hand
　　　To get something lovely done,
　　We can bounce about ideas
　I think that would be fun.


　　　　Anytime you need a loving hug
　　　Of comfort now and them,
　　I am here to pray for you
　As your forever friend.
