Online casino buys Britney's 'home pregnancy test'

US online casino Golden Palace has paid $5,001 (€3,860) for Britney Spears’ alleged home pregnancy test.

“It’s hard to put a price on Britney Spears’ urine,” Golden Palace spokesman Drew Black said.

Golden Palace says it bought the test from Ottawa radio station Hot 89.9, which insisted the test was retrieved from the rubbish outside Spears’ Los Angeles hotel room months ago. The station did not leak news of the test until Spears and husband Kevin Federline announced her pregnancy last month.

“We don’t know for certain, of course,” said Black. “Obviously, it’s her alleged pregnancy test. I wasn’t there when she took the test.”

He went on: “When we saw this particular item was up for grabs, we knew it was something we wanted to have to add to the collection of oddities we’ve amassed over the past several months.”

Other off-the-wall items owned by Golden Palace include a sandwich resembling the Virgin Mary, a Doritos chip that looks like the Pope’s hat and a haunted cane.

Black said Golden Palace is considering going on tour with the out-of-the-ordinary objects.
