Looking for a good way to “Break the Ice” with Britney Spears?

How about telling her you own some of her stuff.

Personal clothing once worn by Brit are just a few of the items going up for bid in the Gotta Have It! online Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction.

Among the items is a T-shirt worn by the pop star long before two marriages, two kids and a divorce, back when she was a cast member on the “New Mickey Mouse Club.”

The shirt, which Brit had given to her grandmother, is also signed by her former “MMC” co-stars, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Keri Russell.

“Something like that has never come up for auction before. We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000,” Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski told People.

The shirt is also signed by Brit, inscribed with the message: “I love you grandma,” according to E! Online’s Marc Malkin.

Other items up for bid from Britney include outfits worn onstage during her “Drive Me Crazy” and “Oops, I Did It Again” tours, the orange coat and pants she donned for the 2000 Billboard Music Awards and even a blue and white Santa dress she wore for a holiday Pepsi ad that same year.

Proceeds from the sale of the Spears memorabilia, which was provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group on behalf of the singer, will go to a charity of Tri Star’s choosing, according to People.

But Britney isn’t the only celeb with some goodies up on the block.

More than 500 items will be auctioned off in the Gotta Have It! auction, including Madonna’s personal diary from 1985, stage costumes and hand-written lyrics from the Material Girl, an authentic Elvis Presley jumpsuit and a pair of denim jeans worn by Marilyn Monroe in the movie “River of No Return.”

The jeans had actually been given to Britney as a gift from designer Tommy Hilfiger – but now, they can be yours!

The Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction runs from July 21 – August 6.

Britney's Wardrobe Headed to Auction

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

You want a piece of Britney Spears? It won't come cheap.

Seven articles of clothing once worn by the pop star are among the pieces being offered to the public by online auctioneers Gotta Have It! as part of their upcoming Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction.

One of the featured pieces is a T-shirt worn by Spears, 26, while she was a cast member on the New Mickey Mouse Club and signed by her costars, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Keri Russell. (Spears had given the shirt to her grandmother.)

"Something like that has never come up for auction before," Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski tells PEOPLE. "We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000."

Other Spears items include costumes from her "Drive Me Crazy" and "Oops, I Did it Again" tours, a blue and white sexy Santa dress she wore in a Christmas ad for Pepsi in 2000, and the orange coat and pants she wore to the Billboard Music Awards that same year.

Also on the block: a pair of jeans that Marilyn Monroe wore in the film River of No Return, which Spears had received as a gift from Tommy Hilfiger. Kosinski expects them to sell in the range of $60,000 to $80,000.

Proceeds from the sale of the Spears memorabilia, which was provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group on behalf of the singer, will go to a charity of Tri Star’s choosing. The company’s owner, Lou Taylor, is a spokesperson for the Spears family.

In addition to the Spears items, more than 500 lots will be offered – everything from an Elvis jumpsuit to Madonna's 1987-1988 datebook.

The datebook is "all hand-written and what she did day-to-day – if she had dinner, if she had rehearsals," says Kosinski. It even includes phone numbers for Madonna's then-husband, Sean Penn, and her Dick Tracy costar, Dustin Hoffman. Estimated selling price: $6,000 to $8,000.

The online auction will be open from July 21 until Aug. 6.

For Sale! Brit's Mickey Mouse Memorabilia

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Long before there was "Oops, I Did It Again" and her subsequent public meltdowns, little Britney Spears was a squeaky-clean castmember of the Mickey Mouse Club.

Now you can own a piece of that innocent history. Find out how!

A Mickey Mouse Club T-shirt that Spears owned and gifted to one of her grandmothers will be up for auction later this month from New York's Gotta Have It memorabilia site. It's expected to go for as much as $20,000 because it's also signed by fellow castmembers, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Keri Russell.

Why she gave it to her grandmother, I don't know, but the future pop star signed it, "I love you grandma."

Also on the block will be one of Madonna's daily planners from the late-'80s. That should fetch between $9,000 and $11,000, according to an auction rep.

GottaHaveIt.com's Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction starts July 21.

Brit and K-Fed Reuniting?

The following italicized article is from www.extratv.warnerbros.com:

Does this sound wacky enough to be true? According the Chicago Sun-Times, divorced and court-battlin' exes Britney Spears and Kevin Federline might be trying to recapture the magic that was "Chaotic" -- by teaming for a new variety show?! Yeah, too good to be true. Or is it?

The project will reportedly be a primetime musical-comedy show. Adding to the allure, K-Fed wants to be the choreographer, which would bring their lives full circle; Brit met the wannabe rapper when he worked as one of her backup dancers.

The recovering pop mom's latest adventure in TV isn't that unusual -- she began her career as a Mousketeer on "The Mickey Mouse Club," and her recent stint on "How I Met Your Mother" was the highest-rated episode the CBS sitcom has ever had.
