Britney Spears is converting to Judaism.
The 'Womanizer' singer is reportedly so keen to marry her agent Jason Trawick she is willing to ditch her Christian faith and become a Jew.
The 27-year-old star has been photographed wearing a Star of David necklace during her world tour and has even recruited a rabbi to help her study the faith.
An insider said: "Britney wants to try the religion Jason was brought up with."
It's not the first time Britney has changed faith. She dabbled in Kabbalah - which is a mystical off-shoot of Judaism - in 2005 after Madonna suggested it.
Meanwhile, Britney's ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib has been ordered to stand trial for felony assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run after he allegedly tried to run over a court official in February.
The Los Angeles man had been trying to serve the paparazzo with legal papers when he was hit by Adnan's vehicle.
Adnan will be arraigned on July 23. If he is convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison.

Michael Jackson's daughter wants to record a song for her beloved dad.
Paris Jackson - who made an emotional tribute to the pop legend at his memorial service on Tuesday (07.07.09) - is keen to sing on a track after being inspired by the artists who performed at the star-studded service at Los Angeles' Staples Center.
A source said: "Paris was overwhelmed. She never comprehended the scope of his fame."
The 11-year-old girl - who went on stage with her family, including brothers Prince Michael and Prince Michael II, where she described Michael as the best father in the world - has discussed her plans with her musical aunts, uncles and grandparents but they are keen to protect her privacy.
The source added: "The Jacksons are very reluctant. But she's convinced it's a good idea."
When Michael was alive, he was keen to keep the children out of the spotlight and on the rare occasions they did venture out, he made them wear face masks.
Meanwhile, Michael - who died last month after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest - is set to come back to life in a new video game.
The 'Thriller' singer will be the main character in the computer adventure, which he had already recorded voiceover lines for, shortly before his death.
A worker on the game - which his firm MJJ Productions have been working on for months - said: "I am sure it will still be released. Michael loved games."
It will not be the first time the 50-year-old star has appeared in a video game.
In 1990 he co-developed 'Michael Jackson's Moonwalker', which was playable in arcades and on home consoles and based on his 'Moonwalker' film.
The story, which is taken from the movie, follows Michael as he uses various music and dance related abilities to defeat enemies while on a quest to save kidnapped children from the hands of the evil 'Mr. Big'.
Some of his biggest hits, including 'Beat It' and 'Smooth Criminal', were incorporated into the game.

Simon Cowell was a "horrible cheat", according to his ex-girlfriend.
Sinitta - who dated the 'American Idol' judge for around 16 years on and off - admits her relationship with him was tough as they were apart so much due to work commitments.
Asked if they did date for such a long time, 40-year-old Sinitta replied: "On and off, because Simon was a horrible cheat! He was a horrible cheat. He was always disappearing and stuff, you know, and I'd have to work and he'd almost be laughing as he waved me off on a plane to Japan, like, 'Great, I'm going to have a really good time while you're away.' I'd be crying he'd be laughing! He reckons that I broke his heart, but he definitely broke mine.
"We'd break up because he'd do something awful and I'd go off and find somebody else. Then he'd see me with somebody else and not like that and wait for it to fall apart. He'd do weird things to p**s my boyfriend off, and then, of course, I'd go back to him.
Sinitta also opened up about the start of their relationship, admitting he was initially romancing one of her best friends.
She explained to Heat Radio: "I had a huge crush on him. He actually liked a friend of mine, who was triple timing him, and he just really surprised me one day, by saying, 'You know what, I don't really like her, it's you I like.' You know when you don't kind of believe it, because we were such buddies? But it was fantastic, because I thought he was really cute."

Emma Watson was grateful she was wearing underwear at the world premiere of 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'.
The 19-year-old actress - who plays school swot Hermione Granger in the hit wizard movie franchise - inadvertently flashed her panties at waiting fans as she adjusted her dress during the event in London's Leicester Square on Tuesday night (07.07.09), but knows it could have been even more embarrassing.
She said: "This was a small wardrobe malfunction that happens. I actually don't remember it happening.
"At least I'm wearing underwear in the photos!"
The teenage beauty now realises she has a lot to learn when it comes to avoiding embarrassing situations.
She added: "I'm still learning, definitely still learning!"
Emma also confirmed she is going to university in America, but would not reveal which one.
The star - who is rumoured to be attending either Yale or Columbia - said: "I'm moving to the States. I'm doing a liberal arts degree and I'll hopefully focus in humanities.
"I'm young and indecisive and not quite sure what I want to major in -maybe English, or maybe art."

Noel Gallagher loves Take That, Lady Gaga and Girls Aloud.
The Oasis rocker has a secret penchant for the trio of pop acts, but reserved special praise for the 'Back For Good' stars' current 'Circus' tour - which saw them supported by 'Poker Face' singer Lady Gaga.
He said: "Take That are smashing it up with their tour. It couldn't happen to a bunch of nicer lads.
I don't mind Lady Gaga, she has that bra with the things coming out. The name says it all though doesn't it? Unbelievably crackers, but she's got a great voice.
"I don't mind Girls Aloud, Kimberley Walsh is my favourite."
Despite his love of pop music, Noel does not approve of some of his brother, Oasis singer Liam Gallagher's friends.
He said: "The concert we did which was broadcast on TV in 2000 was momentous because Liam had been up all night drinking strong lager with one of the lads from Steps. It was one of the longest shows in history for me, I couldn't wait to get off the stage.
"It's alright if you're hanging out with Bobby Gillespie or someone but when it's like, 'Where have you been?' 'I've been out with Mel B.' It's not right."
