It seems all but certain Britney Spears will soon have a new man in her life. The Tinseltown press is awash with reports she is expecting a boy after the pregnant star went on an extravagant shopping spree for male baby clothes.

Britney, who is due to give birth in October, asked Beverly Hills child boutique Petit Tresor to open after hours so she could have the store to herself. The pop princess then spent $10,000 on garments and other items for a little boy.
A spokesman for the upmarket retailer said they could neither confirm nor deny the reports, but a source close to the singer says she and her husband, Kevin Federline, are indeed expecting a boy and they are close to settling on a name. "They’re mulling several names, but the one they favour is Preston," he was quoted as saying.
Britney's representative remained circumspect when asked if her preference had anything to do with the British city found on the Lancashire coast. "I don't believe she has been to Preston but it would be a lovely name," he said.
Whatever choice she and Kevin do finally make, it seems certain their Malibu residence will be well prepared for the new arrival. Just two weeks ago the mum-to-be received a variety of gifts when she hosted a baby shower in her luxurious home.
