Pop star Britney Spears will spend the last two nights of 2009 on a luxury houseboat in the backwaters of Kerala. She will spend a day and two nights on a particularly equipped houseboat on the placid waters of Kumarakom.

A close source discloses, “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 on the holiday.”



Britney’s holiday organizer, a leisure water tourism player based in Allapuzha, has been asked to be mum about her God’s Own Country tour.

The close source, “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.’’

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