Britney Spears is renting an $8 million New Jersey house. The singer and her sons, three-year-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, two, will live in the mansion in Alpine for a month, with her record label Jive footing the $30,000 bill.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Britney wanted a home away from home while she was on tour, especially for the boys - something close to Manhattan. They talked about Long Island, but she wanted something closer that could feel like home for Sean and Jayden."
