Britney Spears is tapping her Kentwood, Louisiana roots to host a charity event benefitting survivors of Hurricane Katrina, the deadly storm that touched down in New Orleans in 2005.
The “Femme Fatale” star has signed on to host An Evening of Southern Style, charity benefit int he form of a traditional southern dinner. The event hopes to raise funds for the ongoing Hurricane Katrina relief effort in Spears’ native Louisiana. It goes down at a private residence in Beverly Hills on May 11, boosting donations for the St. Bernard Project, an organization which builds houses for the those left homeless by the devastating natural disaster nearly six years ago.
Brit’s pop, Jamie Spears, is a former caterer. He’ll be overseeing the cooking from the kitchen, and has devised a menu of traditional Louisiana delicacies to delight guests. Shrimp & Grits, jambalaya, and soft shell crab fish fry are sure to be crowd favorites.
“I am so honored to be a part of this cause. Louisiana will always be a part of my soul,” Spears said Wednesday.
