Britney Spears is set to sing a duet with the late Marilyn Monroe. The troubled star plans to boost her ailing career by performing with the movie icon - who died more than four decades ago - on a previously unreleased Marilyn song called 'Down Boy'.
Lance Bass, 28, a former member of Britney's ex-lover Justin Timberlake's band *NSYNC, has reportedly secured the rights to the song and thinks it would be perfect for Britney.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Lance wants Britney to sing with Marilyn on the track, like Natalie Cole did on 'Unforgettable' with her dad Nat King Cole."
Plans are already in place for the 'Toxic' singer to don a platinum Marilyn-esque wig and dress like the glamour icon, when they shoot the video.

Nicole Kidman is going to the altar with 20th Century Fox for a remake of "How to Marry a Millionaire."
The actress will produce the project through her Fox-based Blossom Films shingle as a potential starring vehicle.
Sacha Gervasi, who wrote Steven Spielberg's "The Terminal," has been tapped to pen the screenplay, which will be a contemporary-set reinterpretation of the Marilyn Monroe classic. The original, a Technicolor comedy that was released by Fox in 1953, vaulted Monroe to stardom.
Plot details for the updated "Millionaire" are being kept under wraps, but it is described as a complete overhaul of the original story.
Fox's Lisa Ellzey is overseeing the project for the studio, while Per Saari is shepherding for Blossom Films.

Your mother always told you to eat your greens.
Now one place is making it not only easy, but delicious as well.
Mad Greens restaurant, with six locations throughout Colorado, is serving up gourmet salads which challenge even the staunchest salad critic.
The place on Second and Columbine Street in Cheery Creek is a far cry from your average salad bar. There are 14 options of ready made salads and the opportunity to create your own version. With ingredients like buffalo chicken tenders, couscous with dried fruit, grilled Portobello mushrooms, and housemade croutons, the salads at Mad Greens are in a league of their own. Prices for the ready made salads range from $4.50 to $8.75. The prices are a bit deceiving however as costumers usually order add-ins bringing the average cost of a salad to around $10.
True to its name the salads at Mad Greens are a little bit crazy and definitely inspired. The names of the made-to-order salads reflect the restaurants theme as they are all named after people that had both qualities of insanity and inspiration. Luckily chomping down on made-to-order salads like the Edgar Allen Poe, Da Vinci, and Napoleon only delight one's taste buds without any side effects of lunacy.
"We try to make eating fun," said Lucas Clarke, who is PR manager for Mad Greens. "You have to eat every day, so it might as well be an experience."
Not in the mood for a salad? No problem. The restaurant also serves a variety of freshly grilled made-to-order paninis. The most popular panini is the Marilyn Monroe. At $6.95 the panini is money well spent. The Marilyn Monroe is an updated version of the tradition turkey sandwich. In between their signature flatbread, smoked turkey, sun dried tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh goat cheese, and pesto sauce are grilled to perfection.
