Could Louisiana be the new Namibia for Britney?

The pop starlet, assaulted by the brutal Malibu lifestyle, might be looking to leave California and get back to her rural roots to give birth to her second child.

A report in In Touch Weekly (via MSNBC's Jeannette Walls) speculates that Britney may want to spend more time in Kentwood, La. because living in Malibu is "hurting her battered marriage" (a charge she flatly denied on her appearance on "Dateline"). Moreover, she's spending $200,000 on improvements to her mother Lynne's home so she can stay there, after she has her second child, which she would reportedly like to do down South as well. Brit also might buy another house just for K-Fed just in case he can't deal with the mother-in-law, according to the magazine. The mayor of Kentwood seems to know what Britney's going to do: "She wants to come home," says Harold Smith, as quoted by In Touch. "She's building more rooms for her growing family. She wants a nursery and some kids' rooms."

Meanwhile, just two weeks after baring her soul to Matt Lauer, Britney is baring her very pregnant body on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.

On the August cover, and in pictures within that were leaked (without permission, says the magazine) yesterday to several Internet sites, Spears does her best Demi Moore impression, unveiling the quite advanced state of her pregnancy in a way highly reminiscent of Moore's famous 1991 Vanity Fair cover. Us Weekly reports that Harper's editors were "horrified" when a newly-black-dyed Britney showed up for a June 23 photo shoot, and had to use brunette hair extensions to fix the problem. Husband Kevin Federline, meanwhile, "loves" the new 'do, according to a source.
