Hotel chain, Travelodge, has recently conducted a survey on public figures who haunt British people in their sleep.

Not much to our surprise Miss Winehouse has gracefully topped the list at #1.

The survey was given to 3,500 hotel guests, some of which have claimed they "wake up sweating, in a panic, crying or shaking when having nightmares," as reported by Yahoo.

"It's no wonder Gordon Brown and [Chancellor] Alistair Darling are making a special appearance in our nightmares at the moment, both symbolise the fears we are facing in today's economy," says Leigh McCarron of Travelodge.

See who else rounded out the top 10:

1. Amy Winehouse

2. Marilyn Monroe

3. Prime Minister Gordon Brown

4. Pete Doherty

5. The Cheeky Girls

6. Simon Cowell

Britney on the cover of OK! Magazine

For the first time in months Britney sat down with OK! magazine reporters for an exclusive interview. The pop tart talks about her relationship with her parents, her boys and her future in music.

To get the full interview, check out OK! magazine's latest issue on newsstands today.

Here are some of the highlights:

Britney's boys following in her footsteps:
"I'd love them unconditionally if they wanted to," she explains. "I'd just as soon they have a more normal childhood."

Jaimie-Lynn's teenage pregnancy:
"I was shocked a little bit. She's always been the baby and, now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling."

Her current relationship with her parents:
"God has a way of taking something bad and turning it into something good," explains her father Jamie. "If this hadn't happened, I would never have been able to get back with my daughter and have this relationship I have with these two little boys."

On her new album:
"I think it is more urban. I'm writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room... This is my best work ever."

Britney on domestic life:
"I get mad if the maid does all the housework. If she takes it all into her own hands, well, what's for me to do? I'm a cleaning fanatic. Dusting is my favorite, and Windex-ing."

Britney on whether she cooks for her family:
"I do. Usually the maid and I will cook together. Sean and Jayden love my spaghetti."

Britney on the mommy track:
"I'm healthy, happy and excited about the future."

Britney on working with Harvey Mason Jr. of The Underdogs:
"I am working with producers who are just amazing. The album is due out in the next six to nine months."
