Britney Spears has signed a deal with the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) to star in a feature film about car racing.

The star made her big screen debut in "Crossroads" earlier this year, which was met with moderate box office success and reviews.

Britney will use her new company Britney Spears Productions to produce the movie. She'll play the daughter of a NASCAR team owner, who inspires a retired driver to return to the fast sport.

NASCAR officials said yesterday Britney would not be singing in the flick, as she did in "Crossroads" when she played an aspiring singer.

Britney Spears has been nominated for the 2002 MTV Movie Awards "Best Breakthrough Female Prize" for her role in her debut film "Crossroads."

Despite the road movie being critically panned, the singer/actress will battle Mandy Moore, Penelope Cruz, Shannyn Sossamon and Anne Hathaway for the gong.

Britney Spears uses her breasts to fight off spoof spy Austin Powers in new Mike Myers comedy flick "Goldmember."

The singer makes a cameo appearance as herself in the third installment of the movie series. And studio sources have revealed that in one funny scene, Britney attacks randy secret agent Austin - with her bulging bosom.

Austin - played by Myers - wanders onto the set of one of Britney's music video's and discovers she is really a deadly "Femme Bot" robot.

In the script, Britney even jokes about real-life rumours she has had a breast enlargement, quipping, "It's true, my breasts have been enhanced." Her nipples then open up to reveal machine guns, which she fires at Myers' character.

Britney isn't the only star to make cameo appearances in Goldmember - which hits cinema screens next month.
