Los Angeles - US pop princess Britney Spears is giving her all to help victims of Hurricane Katrina in the US state of Mississippi - even one of her bra's, the eBay auction site showed on Monday.
The 23-year-old former teen queen, famed for her provocative stage outfits, has donated a treasure trove of personal items - including a two-piece sofa, a bikini and a jewel-encrusted brassiere - to be auctioned off to help victims.
The "white-stone" undergarment, worn by the singer in one of her music videos, sports "a variety of sizes of round white stones and silver-tone beads in this intricately designed bra," according to online auctioneer eBay.
The sparkling bra, which has already garnered offers of up to $610 in the online auction that began on Saturday and will last a week, however, sports a broken link in the centre piece connecting its cups, eBay noted.
A two-piece, six-seat sofa owned by Spears is also on the block, with $560 in bids so far received, while an oversized daybed had notched up a top offer of $390.
A white two-piece swimsuit once worn by the shapely singer has fetched bids of up to $320.
Other items include shoes, hats, handbags, a T-shirt, jewellery, a pair of red jeans and a set of bar-stools.
Proceeds from the sale will go to the Mississippi Hurricane Recovery Fund which on Saturday staged a concert in Mississippi to benefit victims of the storm that struck the US Gulf Coast on August 29, leaving more than 1 000 people dead.
Spears last month gave birth to her first baby with husband Kevin Federline.
