Britney loves Julia Roberts

NEW YORK (AP) — She’d love to do a duet with Madonna, but pop diva Britney Spears says actress Julia Roberts is her role model.

“Julia Roberts is my idea of the perfect woman,” Spears, 19, tells Glamour magazine in its May issue. “She seems very vibrant, her energy is electric, and she seems very at peace with herself, so high on life.”

Spears was interviewed in Los Angeles while rehearsing for her first movie, a coming-of-age drama directed by Tamra Davis, who directed 1995’s Billy Madison.

She plays a straight-A student who embarks on a road trip with two childhood friends.

Although Spears and Madonna have declared their mutual admiration, prompting buzz about a duet, Spears told Glamour that “with record-company politics, I don’t think it’s going to work out.”
