Britney Spears painted a pretty picture and someone bought it for $10,000

If you had Britney Spears written off as 'just another pop star', the below picture might just change your mind. Then again... it might not.

A painting by modern pop icon Britney Spears has been sold at auction for $10,000, although to be fair, it was for a good cause - for the benefit of those affected by last month's mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Spears has been in residency in the city with her 'Piece of Me' show for the last few years and donated the painting - which she posted as a work-in-progress on her own Instagram page last month (below) - to the auction. It was bought by Robin Leach, former host of TV show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, which seems kind of apt.

It's certainly, ummm... different.

Sometimes you just gotta play!!!!!! ??????‍?????????????
