Spears plays desperate housewife in new video

Britney Spears will play a pie-baking, sexy housewife in her new video to accompany controversial single 'If You Seek Amy'.

The pop star started work on the promo on Tuesday and donned a 1950s-style blonde wig, pink shirt and short white skirt for the suggestive video.

A source says: "It's very provocative."

Much of the promo appears to mirror Spears' life, circa 2007 - her character has two kids and desperately tries to be the perfect wife.

'If You Seek Amy' has caused a storm of controversy, with family groups urging radio stations to ban the tune - because of its racy, suggestive lyrics - broken down, Spears appears to be singing "F*** me" in the chorus.
