BRITNEY SPEARS

Spend: £6,506 a night

THERE was no shortage of bathing opportunities at the property Britney plumped for, a spectacular £24 million seaside mansion in Malibu. Better still, there was no chance of the 35-year-old pop princess and her two sons — Jayden, ten, and Sean, 11 — being pestered by autograph hunters among the locals: the California palace’s closest neighbours are the A-listers Charlize Theron and Halle Berry.
