Britney Spears wants to be cryogenically frozen after her death


BRITNEY SPEARS wants to be FROZEN after her death - so she can be brought back to life later.

The eccentric star wants her body preserved in LIQUID NITROGEN so future generations can enjoy her dance routines in red plastic catsuits.

Britney is so enamoured by the idea - "cryogenic" freezing - that she's investing in a firm specialising in it.

The Alcor Life Extension Foundation is one of the oldest companies of its kind, founded in 1972. On its website, the Arizona-based firm gives its aim as: "Using ultra-cold temperature to preserve human life with the intent of restoring good health when technology becomes available to do so."

A pal of the star said: "Brit gets these obsessions and this is the latest.

"It started when someone told her Walt Disney had been preserved by cryogenics to be revived in the future. That was a myth but it got her researching the foundation and she became convinced it was worth a shot.

"Brit found the whole thing so interesting she spent most of her Mother's Day trip to Disneyland researching the subject on the internet while a nanny took the boys round the park.

"She looked into having her ashes turned into diamonds after she is gone but settled on the chance of getting to live in the future."

But before she invests loads of cash, she has to convince her dad Jamie, who currently holds the purse strings.

The source went on: "Jamie is quite happy to let Brit have her little obsessions, especially when it means she's holed up on the internet safely or watching the Discovery Channel.

"And if she wants to invest her money in cryogenics that's fine, we're only talking $350,000 tops. However, much more than that and he may change his mind."

The company has been the subject of controversy in the past.

Last year ex-employee Larry Johnson alleged, in his book Frozen, that a former baseball star's head stored on the premises had been walloped by staff practising their batting swing.

2. Michael's dead, the media must create another freak.
Next they'll have her sleeping with ten year olds in antiseptic bubbles and who knows what else. History doesn't repeat itself, but journalists do.

5. It wouldn't be a bad thing to convince Miley Cyrus to try it right now.
For the benefit of future generations, of course. I semi-kid.

Imagine a Futurama, but with Brittney Spears...augh!

And the Tibetan traditions say that cryogenics only freeze the body. Once the spirit is gone, it's gone.

7. If I remember correctly, her spirit left sometime shortly after she left the Mouseketeers.
