(BANG) - Britney Spears is reportedly set to quit pop music - to become a forensic scientist.
The star has allegedly told friends she is considering swapping her singing career for student life and enrolling at university to study for a degree after being motivated by a TV series.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It sounds ridiculous but she's been inspired by TV's 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation', which shows scientists solving crimes. Brit has been growing tired of all the media attention and is thinking about taking a break from it all."
Insiders have revealed that the 23-year-old star, who launched her music career aged just 16, has even consulted 'Star Wars' beauty Natalie Portman - who graduated from prestigious Harvard University two years ago after studying psychology - about her plans to return to education.
And friends claim the pop babe's second husband, Kevin Federline, who she wed in a surprise ceremony last year, is also backing her decision.
The source added: "She's taking this university idea quite seriously. She's happy with Kev and he'd support her in anything she wants to do. If she decides she wants to study then he'd be fine with that."
Make the twit go away, how can one so useless get so much press?
That'd almost be good enough to fake my own death...
Don't you have to finish High School first? LOL
I heard her feet smelled like they had died on a plane a few weeks back.
She just needs to pick up a few prerequisites-like preschool.
If true, It would last about as long as her first marriage.
Well, that's one way to shut down a failing pop career. Since she's still famous, she should just get a long-term gig in Vegas now, while she can still command a premium. ;)
I'm not sure about the educational requirements, but I'm pretty sure that, before you can BE a forensic scientist, you have to AT LEAST be able to SPELL "forensic scientist".
Which probably lets Ms S. out!
Maybe I should send her some videos of nude jello wrestling. Maybe that'll inspire her.
Bwahaha
Basing your future career path on the misinformation tv gives is always a good thing. This should be good if it's true.
I didn't know Britney already had a college degree.
I mean, as a minimum don't you need a master degree to become a forensic scientist?
How can she "take a break" and become a forensic scientist unless she already has, as a minimum, an undergraduate degree?
Was she inspired by CSI or CSI-Miami? CSI-Miami sucks.
There's a but? Oh, okay: But wouldn't it be nice if the girl went away from the headlines and actually did something useful in the world for a change?
Go for it kid! Don't let anybody stop you!
I heard she walked into a restroom at a gas station with BARE FEET, twice! Now THAT'S disgusting! There are probably diseases on those floors that are still unknown to man.
