SPEARS SELLS BELONGINGS ONLINE

BRITNEY SPEARS is cleaning out her closets with an online auction of memorabilia to raise money for the Britney Spears Foundation for children in need. As well as clothing and accessories, the pop star is also selling homework she completed when she was a teenager as part of the 170-lot auction. One item on the block is a page from the TOXIC singer's junior high school notebook containing her handwritten book report on a translation of SOPHOCLES' ANTIGONE. The essay, which is estimated to go for between $500 and $700 (GBP256 and GBP359) when auctioned at Christie's on 4 December (06), was composed in black ballpoint pen on both sides of the page and comes with a yellow note card decorated with the book's title. The report received a respectable grade of 88 out of 100 points and on the back of the page Spears' teacher wrote comments such as "Nice cover" and "Watch out for spelling mistakes".
