Britney Spears is reportedly set to star in a new reality TV show.

The troubled singer is set to defy the wishes of her family - including dad
Jamie, who is co-conservator of her estate, and ex-husband Kevin Federline -
to appear in the proposed fly-on-the-wall MTV documentary.

The proposed programme will focus on Britney's attempts to get her life and
career back on track following her breakdown earlier this year.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Britney's dad is furious. He
thinks it's a big mistake and doesn't want anything to do with it. But
Britney thinks it will help her custody battle for her sons."

Britney's mother Lynne is said to be desperately trying to talk her daughter
out of the show because she fears the 'Toxic' singer will use it as a
platform to speak out before Lynne's tell-all book is published.

A worried friend of Britney - who has two sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden
James, 23 months, with Kevin - said: "This could be the biggest car crash
television moment of all time."

Britney has previously starred in an MTV reality show with Kevin, 'Britney
and Kevin Chaotic' which aired in 2005.

It was canceled after one season and mainly featured home videos the couple
had made.
