NEW YORK - Britney Spears, a Louisiana native, will celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans later this month when the devastated city hopes to revive some its old partying ways.

"I am honored to be a part of the Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans this year," Spears said in a statement Monday. "It is so important for this amazing city to continue its annual traditions and I am really looking forward to being involved."

The 24-year-old pop star will appear on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Feb. 28 (7 a.m EST), when the morning show reports live from New Orleans. ABC announced that Spears will bring "surprises for a group of very deserving young residents."

The Mardi Gras parade season will run from Feb. 18-28; Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras Day, is Feb. 28.

Spears grew up in Kentwood, and has participated in fundraisers for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

She's got to do SOMETHING to take the attention off her reckless behavior. Why not get her picture taken throwing beads off a float in the Mardi Gras parade?

My first thought when I read the title of this thread was "what as, a float?" but I thought that might sound mean so I decided not to post it. Wait, I did post it didn't I? Oops.

I don't know why they would invite her to Mardi Gras....kindof odd.

Is she still breastfeeding? What is she going to do, squirt milk on everyone as she passes by on a float?

Yahoo got part of it wrong already. Mardi Gras season kicked off this weekend with the first official parades, not in a few days. It's a shortened season this year but one that's already begun.

Brit-Brit riding a float? I only hope angry New Orleanians with rotten fruit show up to harange her and splatter her for not donating money or helping out in any way in the first weeks of the tragedy. Can you imagine a rotten canteloupe to the kisser?
