Britney Spears says she is a "cleaning fanatic". The 'Toxic' singer - who has sons two-year-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, 23 months, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - confessed she loves doing housework and particularly enjoys cleaning windows and making dinner.

She said: "I get mad if the maid does all the housework. If she takes it all into her own hands, well, what's for me to do? I'm a cleaning fanatic. Dusting is my favourite, and Windex-ing. "Usually the maid and I will cook together.

Sean and Jayden love my spaghetti." Britney - who says she is "healthy, happy and exited" about her future - also revealed she has penned a song for her children, which will appear on her new album.

She added to America's OK! magazine: "I do sing to the boys. I actually wrote a song for my new album about them called 'My Baby'. It's a real beautiful song. "I'm writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room. This is my best work ever."

The 26-year-old singer says she has been listening to her favourite female artists for inspiration while working on her new LP. She explained: "I really like Rihanna. I think she's great. And the girl Duffy. I think she's amazing. And I like the new Madonna CD. I like Leona Lewis, too."
