Cage's ex reaches out to single mother Britney

The mother of Nicolas Cage's teenage son is reaching out to Britney Spears in the hope of turning the pop superstar into a role model single mother.

Model/actress Christina Fulton is the brains behind the Single Mom clothing line and prides herself in the knowledge she's a successful single parent.

As she embarks on a new self-help book for struggling parents and an accompanying TV reality show about America's 10 million single mums, Fulton wants to recruit Spears to her army of make-it-happen mothers.

She says: "Britney needs to shape up. She needs to stop being a victim and be victorious."

Spears recently spent a month in rehab after a series of bizarre late-night club visits left many questioning her state of mind and her parenting skills as a single mother to two babies.

Fulton adds: "No one's perfect but I do wish Britney would call me. She has just lost her way.

"There's not someone just saying, 'Hey...' She's not getting the right answers. We're trying to get a hold of her.

"She has to turn this around and then she could be this great comeback story - a real champion for single moms."
