Tab Claim of Britney Spears “Firing” Her Security Totally Misfires

The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:

In Touch claims in this week’s issue that as Britney Spears‘ conservatorship is reportedly drawing to a close, “She’s fired the security team she blames for many of her recent problems.”

Referring to the sexual harassment suit filed by Spears’ former bodyguard Fernando Flores, which the singer is fighting, a so-called “insider” tells In Touch, “Britney felt the old guys knew too much about her baggage from the past… She wants to create a new, confident, independent Britney – and doesn’t want anyone around who remembers what she was like before.”

That same source goes on to say, “Firing her security team is a typical example of her wanting to blame someone else for her problems. She can fire everyone around her but at the end of the day, it’s still going to be the same old Britney when she gets home.”

All very interesting psychobabble – but entirely wrong.

First (and last), Spears did NOT fire her security staff.

A source close to the singer assures Gossip Cop that talk of Spears firing her security team isn’t true.

That’s shocking considering how spot-on In Touch has been with its stories about Spears, including her being Mel Gibson’s secret confidante and her “wish list” of men she wants to date such as Ryan Phillippe, Avatar star Sam Worthington and yes, “The Situation.”

Tab Claims Britney Spears Manipulated by Dad and Boyfriend Are False

The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:

Britney Spears just can’t catch a break with the tabloids.

Most of the time, they carry on about how upset or troubled the pop star is. And when she’s demonstrably happy, the magazines insist that she’s been “manipulated.”

In Touch alleges that dad Jamie Spears and boyfriend Jason Trawick have been “working behind her back to revamp her image,” part of a “secret plan” that included the careful orchestration of her August trip with Trawick to Hawaii.

According to one of the tabloid’s “insiders,” the pop star was incensed after supposedly learning that her dad and boyfriend “tipped off photographers” during the vacation.

“Those pictures showed the world exactly what Jamie wanted them to — that she was back on her feet and looking better than ever,” dishes the In Touch source.

It was “the final straw” for Spears when she discovered their plot, the story claims, and now “she’s barely speaking to her dad” and she and Trawick “are on the rocks.”

Really?

Uh, no…

Apparently, when In Touch can’t come up with anything to make Spears look bad, the mag is forced to float the notion that she’s been tricked into looking good.

A source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop that the conspiracy theory is “b.s.”

The only manipulators in this story work at In Touch.

Is Mel Gibson’s Secret Confidante… Britney Spears?

The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:

According to In Touch, Mel Gibson’s recent troubles have left him with just one friend.

And who might that be?

None other than Britney Spears.

Yes, you read that right.

According to the tab’s source, “Mel has been talking to her a lot. They speak on the phone all the time, usually at night.”

And what does Gibson allegedly tell the pop star?

The actor “has been pouring his heart out to her– confiding that he fears for his sanity and is convinced he’s destroyed his once-hot career,” claims the mag.

But a source very close to Spears assures Gossip Cop that the story is nothing more than a complete fabrication.

“She’s not talking to Mel,” says our rock-solid source, adding that there’s “not an ounce of truth” to In Touch’s report.

Britney Spears cutting off her hair story is sheer nonsense

The following italicized article is from www.gossipcop.com:

In an In Touch piece about Britney Spears titled, “Another Bizarre Meltdown,” the weekly claims that after an argument with boyfriend Jason Trawick at Disneyland, the singer locked herself in a hotel room, “sobbing and hacking away at her hair.”

According to the article, a distraught Spears “ordered scissors sent to her room and began cutting off her hair.”

“When the cleaners came to the room,” says the mag’s so-called insider, “so much hair had been flushed down the toilet, it was blocked.”

Wow, so is that why she has a new ‘do these days?

Not exactly.

A source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop there’s “no truth” to the In Touch report, and that she’s “in the process of taking out her extensions which is why her hair is shorter.”

Yes, more “sheer” nonsense from In Touch.

As In Touch first reported, Britney Spears shot the hot new video for her controversial tune “If U Seek Amy” on February 10. Now here are more secrets from the set! Drawing from real-life experience, the songstress starts off as a sexy housewife. "In the first shot, she's dressed in a pink tank top and white skirt, with two kids and a husband donning preppy J. Crew attire," an insider tells In Touch. "Britney hands the paparazzi an apple pie over a white picket fence while the family of actors watch." The video, directed by Jake Nava, later features a "provocative" Britney in a "black bustier and snakeskin ripped leggings" as she dances in a kitchen scene.

Though the pop princess was hard at work, an insider claims she never ate during shooting, only sipping a Red Bull and Coke when all was finished. But an exhausted Britney needed some rest and relaxation while shooting. "She left all the actors waiting an extra hour so she could get a massage," adds the insider. "But Britney is back to her old self again, she's working harder than ever!" The song is the third single from her album Circus and the hotter-than-ever star will kick off her U.S. tour on March 3.

Rep: Britney Spears, Benji Madden Not Dating

The following italicized article is from www.usmagazine.com:

Britney Spears and Benji Madden are not dating!

In Touch reports the Good Charlotte Rocker, 29, and Spears, 27, have been hooking up -- but Spears' publicist Holly Shakoor denies any connection.

"The claims made by In Touch are completely false," she tells E! News. "There is not an ounce of truth to any of it.''

The tabloid claims that Spears' dad, Jamie, and her manager, Larry Rudolph, have been searching for potential suitors for the singer, including Chace Crawford, Michael Phelps, Jesse Metcalfe and Madden.

"Larry made phone calls, and Benji ended up being the most interested in being fixed up," In Touch claims. "He plans to make a big, splashy announcement to help publicize her tour."

But Madden was spotted with his ex (and on-again/off-again friend to Spears), Paris Hilton, twice this week, and Spears just got back to L.A. after promoting her new album, Circus, in Tokyo.

Britney Spears in Tears: Is Spears Pushing Herself Too Hard?

The following italicized article is from www.nationalledger.com:

Hoping to revive her career is Britney Spears pushing herself too hard, asks In Touch Weekly. The magazine reports that she was recently in tears and upset about her struggles to get back on the top of the music world and the magazine reports that it won't be easy for Britney to prove she's still a superstar.

The report claims that insiders say the singer, who was hospitalized for a breakdown last January, is in danger of buckling under the pressure. is britney really that close to the edge - she certainly appears to look more healthy and certainly has changed her lifestyle dramatically. The magazine says that insiders think differently.

"Britney is not fully recovered from her breakdown - she's definitely nervous that she isn't strong enough yet to handle the pressure of a tour and comeback," an insider tells In Touch. "Britney is very emotional, very vulnerable and is still battling the mixed emotions and confusion that come with intense therapy."

Britney wants joint custody of sons Sean, 3 and Jayden, 2, which she lost in October 2007. But a judge can't reinstate joint custody without lots of observation - a therapist screened her boys' birthday party in September - and Britney will soon be out of eyeshot. Set to begin in March, her world tour will take her away from LA - and her sons - for most of 2009.

New In Touch Weekly Scans

This week's issue of In Touch Weekly reveals more details about Britney's troubled past. What to do when a girl in the spotlight is having a hard time coping with tremendous fame? Write a book!

New Details From Britney Tell All!

The following italicized article is from www.x17online.com:

We already told you about the upcoming Britney Spears expose by Ian Halperin, and now we have more details from the New York Times bestselling author. Halperin has penned similar books about Celine Dion and Kurt Cobain, as well as those revealing the dark and dirty secrets of Hollywood, supermodels and other high-profile individuals.

Halperin went undercover as a photographer for 18 months when he wrote and researched Stalking Britney: Britney Under Siege, and he tells In Touch Weekly, “She’s on a high right now, but her life goes in circles. It’s like a roller coaster ride. She’s a person who is highly sensitive, and just one little thing could set her off.”

Halperin writes about how Britney attempted suicide four times after her split from ex-hubby Kevin Federline, and addresses her self-doubt and insecurities, which popped up in her early teen years. He tells the mag, “At 15, she had a huge breakdown and had to return home to Louisiana. She was very insecure and felt like she wasn’t pretty.” The solution? “She went on a huge diet.”

Though Britney has made remarkable progress over the past few months, and she's been photographed looking happier and healthier, Halperin believes she’s far from recovered. “There’s no doubt, based on the last two years, that she is a highly unstable person. She’s on a temporary high right now, but she’s never really dealt with all the problems she had. I don’t think it’s possible to turn over a new leaf just like that.”

Despite his somewhat pessimistic outlook, Halperin does say that Britney is a “good mother, and a good person...In fact, she’s nicer than most of the stars I’ve met. But as Britney once told me herself, her life has always been two steps forward, followed by one step back.”

Justin Snubs Britney At Concert

Britney Spears ventured out for a rare night on the town recently - and ended up in the same club as her ex, Justin Timberlake. On Agust 14, Britney hit West Hollywood’s House of Blues for a Robin Thicke concert and spotted her former beau on a date with girlfriend Jessica Biel.

“Britney was smiling and singing along to songs,” a witness says. “She kept eyeing Justin but stopped short of actually walking over to say hello. Justin kept his back to her. She was obviously waiting for him to turn around, but he never did!” Britney even watched the couple while Justin gave Jessica a long kiss on the lips.

Adds the witness, “When the concert was over, Jessica and Justin left together, and Britney exited in the opposite direction.”

Britney: Seven Months Without Sex!

Her meds --- and her dad's presence --- are making Britney Spears behave.

Once a week, Britney Spears drives to The Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey and indulges in her new favorite activity working out. "While she was running on the treadmill, she was joking about how she doesn't have a man," says a witness at the hotel's gym. The singer recently confided to a pal, "I lost my mojo," and hasn't been intimate with anyone in seven months.

Since Britney's father, Jamie, moved in with her in February when he took control of her life, it's been difficult for her to date. "How do you make out with a guy while your dad watches?" Britney joked to another friend.

Even though Britney regularly texts ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib --- and he sometimes sneaks over to her house for nighttime swims --- the photographer's visits been strictly platonic. "There's no way that Jamie would allow Adnan and Britney to be alone," an insider reveals.

Aside from Jamie's strict rules, the medication the 26-year-old has been taking to combat what is believed to be bipolar disorder appears to have put a dent in her sex drive.

"She is on a powerful regimen of prescription drugs," the insider shares. "One of the side effects seems to me lack of sexual interest."

She wants to find true love

A tame love life is a huge change for Britney, who once boasted about having sex three times in a day when she was still married to her now ex-husband.

Kevin Federline and has romanced a string of men since she filed for divorce in 2006. But celebrity rehab therapist Dr.Drew Pinsky, who does not treat Britney, says outrageous sexual behavior could have been a symptom of her illness. "With bipolar, you become hypersexual," Dr.Drew tells In Touch. "Before Britney began treatment, sleeping around with different men could have been the result of the manic state she was in."

Dr.Drew sees Britney's celibate lifestyle as a positive step toward her getting healthier. "I am seeing the results of good psychiatry and good parenting," he says.

Abstinent or not, Britney would still like to have a man in her life. "Right now, Britney isn't looking for a lover, She's looking for a boyfriend," her pal shares. "She really wants a guy that she can cuddle with."

Sam Lutfi Wants to Reconcile With Britney

The following italicized article is from www.hollyscoop.com:

File this under 'wishful thinking.' Original douche bag Sam Lutfi must be on some good stuff because he's convinced that Britney wants him back in her life and he's ready to reconcile.

A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Sam believes that he and Britney are still friends. If the restraining order is lifted, he'll be back in her life for sure."

Wait, it gets better! The source added: "Sam insists it will come out that the restraining order was against the wrong guy. So lifting the order would give him the chance to protect Britney from the vultures out there."

Britney was a psycho loon while she was friends with Sam. Her friendship with him landed her in the psych ward twice, she lost custody of her kids, and hooked up with a paparazzi. What makes him think she would want him back in her life?? She's finally back on track thanks to her family's intervention. Her fans would shred him to pieces if he were spotted with her.

Britney Spears is excited to be a real mother to her young sons again - but is it too late? She had been looking forward to her first overnight visit with her sons all week, but Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden, 22 months, didn't seem to feel the same way when they arrived at Britney Spears' Beverly Hills mansion two weeks ago.
