Britney's special blends

Los Angeles - Word is pop princess Britney Spears has been drinking a fertility potion.
The singer is on honeymoon with new husband Kevin Federline in Fiji and locals have told her the drink is just the thing to kick-start her wish to have children.
Both the newlyweds have been downing special blends of a traditional bitter-tasting brew called Kava on the South Pacific island.
Britney's is a non-alcoholic version of the drink, reports The Sun.
An insider said: "Britney has been drinking Kava on a daily basis. She's doing everything she can to prepare herself for having a baby.
"The resort bar has been preparing the special Kava mix. Usual blends of the cocktail can aid sleep but the one they have been drinking is an aphrodisiac and helps conception. The only problem is, it tastes revolting."
Kava is Fiji's national drink. It is made from the pulverised root of a member of the pepper family. Generations of Fijians have used it, swearing by its medicinal qualities.
Legend has it that the Kava plant sprang up from the grave of a princess who died of a broken heart. Local brewers have been working overtime to deliver fresh supplies of the concoction since the celeb couple's arrival.
Britney told fans last week on her official website that she intended to start a family and cut back on work. - Ananova.com
