BRITNEY KEEPS FANS GUESSING AT PERFUME DO

SEND TO A FRIEND

9 MAY 2006

Britney Spears may be keeping mum about reports of a second pregnancy, but she looked undeniably curvy as she stepped out for the launch of her third fragrance on Monday. Even though the blonde songstress had opted for a voluminous black dress rather than her trademark hipster jeans and itsy bitsy tops, she still seemed to be revealing a hint of a bump.

When she called a press conference in LA last week, it was expected she'd announce that a sibling was on the way for her son, Sean Preston, with dancer husband Kevin Federline. The Toxic star had invited a select group of journalists and record industry execs to the event, fuelling reports she may also be recording new material or announcing a tour. But her unexplained no show left everyone none the wiser.

Monday's New York launch was in aid of the 24-year-old's latest perfume In Control, which follows hot on the heels of her earlier, best-selling scents Curious and Fantasy.

The Lucky singer is not the only A-lister to be carving a niche in the fragrance industry, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton have all bottled their signature style, too.
