A positive pregnancy test said to have belonged to Britney Spears has been sold for charity by Internet casino GoldenPalace.com.

The test was allegedly found in the bathroom bin of a Los Angeles hotel room where Britney and husband Kevin Federline were staying a couple of months ago, reports Ireland Online.

Although no details of the sale were disclosed, the portal's spokesperson said the proceeds would be donated to two US charities - the Candlelighter's Childhood Cancer Foundation and the Easter Seal Society, which helps children with physical disabilities.
