Britney Spears is spending a fortune on cream to banish her stretch marks.

The singer - who gave birth to her second son, Jayden James, last September - recently visited Los Angeles baby boutique and reportedly spent more than $400 on creams which are used to fade post-natal stretch marks.

A source said: "I guess it will be part of her new look. Good for her!"

Britney has vowed to take better care of herself in 2007, and stop partying so hard. The pop beauty has been spotted on several occasions out clubbing since splitting from husband Kevin Federline.

When asked what her resolutions for 2007 were, Britney said: "Stop biting my nails and just to take care of me more."

It was revealed last week that Britney is commissioning a nude portrait of herself.

The 'Toxic' singer is determined to get back her svelte figure and wants to be "immortalized" in a painting.

A source said: "Britney's been getting in better and better shape since she split with Kevin and wants her body immortalised in a portrait.

"She wants it tastefully done, though, and is looking for the right artist to do it."
