BEIJING, June 14 (Xinhuanet) --Britney Spears has recently told NBC's Matt Lauer that sheplans on movingto Namibiato prepare for the birth of her second child, a daughter who is due in "late September or early November."

The interview will be broadcast Thursday on the Today show and Friday on Dateline.

Lauer asked Britney why she had chosen Namibia for the birth of her child.

"Kevin has always been a fan of African-American culture," Britney replied. "I'm sure he'll feel at home there, rapping with all the natives. Besides, there's lots of quiet unpaved roads where Sean Preston and I can go driving."

Britney also said that Namibia reminds her of California "because it's on the ocean and there's lots of sand. So if Sean Preston fell off his swing and landed on his head, there's less chance he would be hurt and we'd have those snoops from child welfare up our butts all the time."

Finally, said Britney, "I heard that Namibia has laws that let celebrities say whether or not journalists are allowed in the country. That's so important, even more important than getting the same villa that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had."

Hollywood star Angelina Jollie just gavebirth to a baby girl named Shiloh Nouvel on May 27 at a private clinic in the resort town of Walvis Bay in Namibia.Enditem
