Britney Spears reportedly wants to kickstart her acting career by following Katie Holmes onto the Broadway stage.

The singer – whose big screen debut in 2002 movie Crossroads was largely panned - is said to warming up for a role on Broadway.

Other than Crossroads, Britney's acting has been limited to the small screen in her raunchy music videos.

The troubled singer won three moonmen at this years Video Music Awards for Piece of Me.
