This latest twist in the Britney saga comes after the recent news that hubby KEVIN FEDERLINE has been given full custody of the children Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James.

Friends feel that Britney has decided to adopt the two six-year-old tots from China in a frantic bid to fill the void left by losing her sons to K-Fed.

Britney's bad week got even worse when she was banned from driving with the kids in the car after she ran a red light in Hollywood, NOTW reports.

And in another worrying move for the former Pop Princess, is splashing out £25,000 on her OWN funeral.

Apparently, Britney Spears has forked out the cash because she fears her spiraling lifestyle may lead to an early grave.

A source close to Britney told me: "It doesn't seem that Britney has thought this through completely. Adoption and a funeral? The two don't exactly go hand-in-hand.

"Paying for a funeral is a sensible thing to do—but not when you're only 25!

"It's a case of too much, too soon with Britney.

"Not a week goes by without something strange happening to her now. She's doing herself no favors."
