Britney Spears wants to change her name to Federline, but fears the move will upset her fans.

The "Toxic" singer - whose September 18 marriage to dancer Kevin Federline was made official last week - is keen to show her devotion to her new husband by taking his surname, and is determined to defy the objections of devotees. She told the German magazine Bunte, "I probably will, Britney Federline, I like that. Society probably won't allow me but I would like to change it."

--Society won't let her? Last time I checked she can do (and has done) whatever the hell she wants. Maybe she knows it will be too much paperwork to change it back in 6 weeks when this relationship implodes.

You Said

HA! In all seriousness now, how many women have their 'legal' name and their 'professional' name? Lots. She can be Britney Federline all she wants and the fans and society she is so concerned about will be none the wiser. At least for the next 6 months.
I'm just sayin'!
