Spears looks at family pad in Malibu

Britney Spears has been house-hunting for a mansion to house her fiance's growing family - and is keen on a swanky $4m (€3.3m) Malibu, California villa.

The singer, 22, spent an hour looking at the five-bedroom property near popular Zuma Beach, as part of her quest to find a home for her and boyfriend Kevin Federline where his two children - daughter Kori, two and son Shaz, born on 20 July, can visit.

A source says: "It looked like they loved it. They were in there for ages, then seemed to seal the deal with a lingering kiss in the driveway."

Spears met Federline's eldest child Kori last week for the first time.

Kori's mother Shar Jackson says: "Britney painted her finger nails and it really seemed like they had a blast."
