據(jù)報(bào)道，二度生子的布蘭妮在洛杉磯一家醫(yī)院生下一男嬰，嬰兒重6磅11盎司。不過，布蘭妮的發(fā)言人及其官方網(wǎng)站對此事只字未提。此前，曾有媒體預(yù)言布蘭妮第二個(gè)孩子應(yīng)是女嬰，甚至有報(bào)道稱布蘭妮打算給她的女兒起名“加雷妮”。

US pop princess Britney Spears gave birth to a second baby boy Tuesday, US news media reported, just two days before her first child is to turn a year old.  Spears, 24, and her husband Kevin Federline, 28, together welcomed their news on into the world in Los Angeles in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday, People magazine reported. The child was delivered via a scheduled C-section, the magazine reported. The couple already have a son, Sean Preston, who will turn one year old on Thursday. The baby is Federline's fourth child, as he has two small children by his ex-girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson -- Kori, 4, and Kaleb, 2. Spears spokeswoman Leslie Sloane Zelnik declined to comment on the report to AFP. Spears first sprang to fame as a teen star and went on to become one of the biggest forces in pop music. Her 1999 album "Baby One More Time" put her on the global music map, selling a whopping 60 million copies. Her 2000 single "Oops!... I Did It Again" broke sales records on its release, becoming the fastest-selling album by a female artist in history by selling1.3 million copies in its first week in US record stores and ultimately shipping 20 million globally. But the bubbly blonde is most often in the headlines for her private life, including her marriage to dancer Federline, her longtime teen romance with pop star Justin Timberlake and her abortive 2004 marriage to an old friend.
