Britney Spears is set to clash with Whitney Houston when their new albums come out at the same time.

The Sun reports that troubled Spears has impressed her label bosses with new tracks and that they want to release a new Britney album this December.

Whitney Houston has long been working on her comeback record after her own well publicised breakdown.

Shes enlisted Will.IAm, R.Kelly and John Legend to help her get back into the charts.

But Britney could stand in her way apparently. A label source told the newspaper: Britney has been on fire in the studio of late she is determined to make a triumphant comeback.

We cant wait to see this epic battle of the divas! In other Brit Brit news she's unexpectedly been spotted buying Radiohead's In Rainbows album. Maybe it will influence her new material.
