Mom Lynne Spears, 46, is telling friends that she is furious that Spears, 20, is in a trial marriage with lover Justin Timberlake at the pair's new $3 million Los Angeles mansion.

"What they're doing is a sin," stormed Lynne, a devout Baptist who lives in Louisiana with Britney's dad Jamie.

To find out the earth-shattering effect this is having on their once close mother/daughter relationship, be sure to pick up the latest Star!

I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman was written by Max Martin and Dido.

It is taken from the album Britney.

The song also features on the soundtrack to Britney's movie debut, Crossroads.

It will be backed by a Spanish Fly remix plus a ballad entitled I Run Away, which was produced by BT.

Britney's Live From Las Vegas HBO Special, which was screened by Channel 5 on New Year's Day, will be released on video and DVD on April 8th.

Crossroads opens at cinemas across the UK on March 29th.

Britney is available for £12.99 through Ananova's ecommerce partner HMV.

You could guess that a girl without much of a formal education is no rocket scientist. She's not going to know much about the history of civilization, world economics, or how to split an atom. What you might expect is that she'd know something in the category of pop music, enough to play Rock and Roll Jeopardy on VH-1. 

But here's some upsetting news. Brit was stymied on Tuesday night when presented with a pretty easy question. Here's what it was: "Who is Yoko Ono?" 

The question came up because this reporter was having a congenial talk with the members of 'N Sync and some of their parents at the J Records pre-Grammy dinner. The gang was sitting at a round table front and center in the Beverly Hills Hotel ballroom. Britney was sitting with the group, between Justin Timberlake and his mom. I asked Justin, as I had asked him about a year ago, whether 'N Sync identified more with the Beatles or Rolling Stones, and where that might leave their rivals, the Backstreet Boys. 

Timberlake replied, "Beatles! Beatles! Beatles!" Did that mean the Boys were the equivalent of the Stones, I wondered? "No, the Osmonds!" he laughed. 

But immediately following this happy exchange, I queried the couple: "Does this mean Britney is Yoko Ono?" 

Spears responded: "Who?' Her potential mother-in-law, Mrs. Timberlake, jumped right in and explained that Ono had been John Lennon's widow and broken up the Beatles. (This was strictly her opinion, this last modifier.) 

But Brit didn't know what anyone was talking about. To save her, I said: "You're probably more Linda McCartney. You know her name, don't you?" 

Spears again gave a question mark expression. "I'm sorry," she said in her rich Southern accent. "I'm very young." 

Justin's mom, ignoring this exchange on purpose, then told us a story. "You see, you have to know who Pete Best is." Best was the original drummer for the Beatles, replaced by Ringo Starr before the band became a sensation. "Lance only became a member of 'N Sync the day we signed our contracts, because the original bass singer quit. So we call him our Pete Best!" 

Granted, Spears has a great little body and has done much to show it off in her videos and concerts. So let's give her credit where credit is due. But a future member of the Rock Hall of Fame? Just as in her MTV diary, she showed no interest in music or in singing at the J Records bash. When most of the performers including Timberlake hit the stage for a final jam session, Spears avoided the chance to show off her vocal talents in front of the room and sat on her hands. 

Timberlake, however, jumped on stage, took the mike, and worked hard to show that he is more than a flash in the pan. He was impressive. Afterwards, I was told that he is hard at work on a solo album, which may be more than halfway completed. "It's going to be huge," said one music insider who's heard some of the results.

The bug, labeled variously as "VBS/Britney-A" and "VBS_BRITNEYPIC.A," is considered low risk because it has infected a small number of computer users in Europe since it was initially detected on Thursday morning, computer experts said. 

But because the worm carries an attachment masquerading as a picture of the 20-year-old pop idol, security officials were still on alert yesterday. 

"Because this says 'Britney Spears' we thought this may have potential to spread," said Natasha Staley, a spokeswoman for British computer security firm Sophos Anti-Virus. 

The name "Britney Spears" is consistently one of the most popular search terms on Internet search engines, and the massively successful singer has been the inspiration behind scores of fan sites. 

BRITNEY, JENNIFER AND ANNA KOURNIKOVA 

Spears is the latest attractive female celebrity to be used by virus writers hoping to ensnare scores of would-be victims. The singer/actress Jennifer Lopez was the subject of a minor email virus threat last year. 

The reigning queen of celebrity email bugs is still Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova, computer experts say. 

Last May, the so-called "Anna Kournikova" email worm had a nasty run in the wild. 

In that case, the worm crippled computer servers and slowed down Internet traffic around the world, after unsuspecting computer users clicked on an email attachment thinking they would see a photo of the pint-sized tennis star. 

The author, a Dutch man, was eventually arrested and sentenced last September to 150 hours of community service. Raimund Genes, European president of computer security firm Trend Micro, said the Britney Spears virus is much less sophisticated than the Kournikova worm, which could explain it's relatively slow infestation. 

The worm, he said, carries an attachment labeled ".CHM," which doesn't look like a photo attachment and could tip off computer users that it's a hoax. 

According to Sophos, the Britney bug spreads via the popular Microsoft Outlook email program as well as Internet Relay Chat channels on the Internet. As with Kournikova, it could overload computer servers and slow Internet traffic.

The 20-year-old pop sensation, who's currently dating 'N SYNC hunk JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, 21, was recently spotted at the BORDERS book store in West Hollywood buying a copy of KIM CATTRALL's sex manual SATISFACTION: THE ART OF THE FEMALE ORGASM. 

American magazine US WEEKLY quotes an eyewitness as saying, "She very casually came in with her bodyguard and picked up the book." 

SEX AND THE CITY star Cattrall, who plays Britney's mother in the new movie CROSSROADS, recently released the explicit book, which she co-wrote with her husband MARK LEVINSON, receiving positive sales and feedback from fans.

But even cave dwellers need to get out every now and then, so pop's reigning queen, Britney Spears, has lined up a spring North American tour that kicks off May 24 in Las Vegas, according to her web site. Spears has so far mapped out two month's worth of shows.

The trek will comprise the second leg of the chart champ's tour in support of her Britney CD. The outing comes on the heels of her successful run last fall, a trek that provided the backdrop for her live HBO concert special broadcast from Las Vegas.
