Britney Spears Is NOT Collaborating with Gucci Mane

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

“Gucci Mane has confirmed to sources that he’s throwing down a few lines for Britney Spears‘ new album,” writes Perez Hilton, who adds, “The pair are set to meet next week in an Atlanta studio to record a track called Hit.”

Perez goes on to note, “Gucci insisted that Britney was a fan of his music for years and her adoration is what persuaded him to record a song with her.”

The blogger, who doesn’t bother to fact-check, is once again regurgitating bad dish from hacks and amateurs at other wannabe entertainment sites.

Gossip Cop, however, has learned directly from Spears’ manager that there is “no shot” of a collaboration.

Whew!

Britney Spears ‘Furious’ Her Parents Reconciled?

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

“You’d think Britney Spears would be thrilled to see her divorced parents back together – instead she’s furious!” begins a piece in the National Enquirer.

And why is that?

According to the tab, Spears believes that her mom Lynne was “working with her father all along to manipulate her into being more cooperative – and that she did so for financial reasons.”

Huh?

“If [her dad] Jamie were no longer her conservator,” says one of the mag’s magical source, “the money would stop and Lynne and Jamie would both become dependent on Britney’s generosity for money.”

So, let’s get this straight: Spears believes her parents only got back together in order to steal her money?

Rrrright…

As opposed to being “furious,” the singer is actually “delighted.”

A source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop, “Everyone is very happy” precisely because “they’re spending time together.”

Yes, Britney is more concerned about them spending time together… than them spending her money.

Britney Spears's Divorced Parents Reconciling

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

Britney Spears's parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears, are reconciling eight years after their divorce.

"They are back together and are doing well and happy," a source tells PEOPLE. "[They're] not remarried but back together."

The couple, who divorced in 2002, were looking friendly on Saturday at Los Angeles lounge Boudoir. Onlookers at the lounge spotted Lynne and Jamie cheering and dancing as DJ Mr. Best spun Britney's hits, like "Toxic" and "Gimme More."

"They were in a great mood together," says an onlooker. "They were laughing together – dancing and laughing [and] totally having fun."

"Lynne is a dear, sweet person," a family friend tells PEOPLE. "She deserves happiness. As her friend, my wish for her would be a happy ending."

In 2002, shortly after the breakup of her parents' 30-year marriage, Britney told PEOPLE it wasn't a bad thing.

"It's the best thing that's ever happened to my family," says Spears. "My mom and dad, bottom line, do not get along. When I was a baby, they argued."

Britney, 28, also has been doing well romantically, and is currently dating Jason Trawick, 38.

Lynne and Jamie have been back together as a couple since last summer, according to Gossip Cop, which first reported the news of their reconciliation.

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.

Site takes “Glee” in being wrong about Britney Spears

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

“EXCLUSIVE! Britney Spears Didn’t Hang Out With The ‘Glee’ Cast At ALL While Shooting Her Episode!” squeals HollywoodLife in yet another exclusively wrong story.

“Even though the Glee cast have been gushing about meeting Britney Spears while she shot an episode of their show,” writes the site, “an on-set source tells us that the pop princess barely had any interaction with the Gleeks at all!”

Let’s get this straight: So the cast has been “gushing,” but HollywoodLife’s source knows that they’re all lying?

Uh, huh…

Adds the ill-informed “insider”: “Britney wouldn’t talk to any of the actors and demanded a special trailer with a fence around it… because her people didn’t trust her to say something stupid and have it leaked.”

Speaking of “stupid,” if HollywoodLife knew anything about the Life of a Hollywood star, they would know cast members all have trailers to hang out in during downtime between scenes.

But more importantly, when they were all on the set, Spears got along great with the “Glee” stars, which is precisely why they’ve been “gushing.”

Once again, HollywoodLife is falsely creating drama, where there is none.

HollywoodLife should take a cue from “Glee,” and start singing a different tune.

‘Double Wedding’ For Britney Spears And Sis Is Doubly Wrong

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

Earlier this week, Gossip Cop poked fun at the tabloids for claiming Britney Spears was planning a wedding this year, which by our count was her 63rd wedding in 2010 alone.

Now OK! Magazine takes it one step further, announcing TWO – yes, two – Spears weddings.

According to the tab, the singer is going to have a “double wedding” with her sister, Jamie Lynn.

Yes, you read that right.

The mag claims it was the elder Spears’ idea to “marry their boyfriends, Jason Trawick and Casey Aldridge, in a spectacular double wedding!”

What began as a half-joke, says the mag, soon turned into actual wedding plans that include “their kids [as] ring bearers and the flower girl,” the sisters walking each other down the aisle, and “fantasy guests” such as President Barack Obama, Oprah and Lady Gaga.

Why not Abe Lincoln while they’re at it?

Anyway, a so-called “source” says Trawick particularly liked the joint-nuptial ideas.

“Jason said it would be bigger than a royal wedding,” states the source, adding, “Britney’s eyes lit up… A Spears-girls double wedding would be a huge attention-getter.”

And that’s probably what OK! hoped when it ran with this completely fabricated “double wedding” story.

But back on planet Earth, a source close to Britney tells Gossip Cop “there is no truth” to the tabloid’s wedding claims. And a Jamie Lynn pal also says it’s made up.

The only congratulations to be extended here is to OK! for being wrong twice in a single story.

Mag Story on Britney Spears’ Hygiene Stinks

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

Britney Spears has been the subject of a number of foul rumors, but this latest one just reeks.

Heat magazine claims the singer’s hygiene – or alleged lack thereof – is getting in the way of her relationship with Jason Trawick.

According to the tab, Trawick has told Spears either she cleans up or he’s making a clean break.

Heat alleges that Spears sometimes smells “downright sour,” because she hasn’t washed her hair for days.

And, says a so-called “source,” she’ll wear the same clothes for days on end.

“Recently she put on a sundress for the third day in a row, but Jason refused to leave the house with her until she put on something else,” says the source.

The tab source does note, ”She’s trying more now because even she knows you couldn’t think of a more embarrassing reason for a relationship to break down.”

Something does smell here… but it ain’t Britney.

A source close - yes, close – to Spears emphatically tells Gossip Cop that the claim is “so not true,” and feels the story is just “gross and mean.”

And the reporting… well, it just plain stinks.

CLAIM: Britney Has Meltdown Over Justin Timberlake

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

“Britney Spears pitched a god-awful fit when her ex-flame Justin Timberlake refused to record a duet with her,” claims the National Enquirer.

The singer allegedly had a “violent outburst,” where she “yanked out her hair extensions and cursed at her father during a recording session, stunning music producers.”

A so-called Enquirer source explains,”Britney desperately wanted Justin to sing with her, and weeks ago she asked him to record a duet for her latest CD.”

“But Justin wouldn’t make a commitment, even though they both record for Jive records,” leading to “a temper tantrum that would put a 2-year-old to shame.”

What’s a shame is that the tab is still whining about a relationship that ended eight years ago, and alleging there are issues when, in fact, there is no bad blood between the two pop stars.

Adds a source close to Spears, the meltdown tale is also “not true.”

Gossip Cop will step aside in case the folks at the Enquirer want to have a tantrum of their own right now.

Britney Spears Album Release Rumors are Premature

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

She’s been one of the biggest pop stars in the galaxy for more than a decade, so whispers of new Britney Spears music will always grab people’s attention.

When renowned producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins said over the weekend, “Britney fans are gonna be so happy in a few weeks,” reports of a surprise album release surged.

Spears recorded “Circus” in 2008 and has since toured heavily.

But is a full set of new Spears songs on the way?

Not exactly.

A source close to Spears confirms that she and producers are excited about ongoing work.

However, while a single may be released in the near future, Gossip Cop is told by the Spears source a full album release is not imminent.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow? Britney Stylist Rumor Wrong

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

For all the chatter about how things are going with boyfriend Jason Trawick, is the most tumultuous relationship for Britney Spears the one she has with her hairstylist?

That’s what E! Online claims.

“Brit-Brit’s a serial stylist switcher because management won’t let her commit to just one,” reports the site.

Wait, what?

“They don’t want anyone getting close to her,” a so-called “source” whispers to the E! gang. “They won’t use anyone who has done her hair in the past and won’t let any current stylist see her more then (sic) three times.”

So the people around Britney Spears are terrified that the person who does her hair will get too “close” to her? And, what, exactly? Brainwash her? Gain her trust and then hold her extensions for ransom?

The article doesn’t really explain why Spears would be subject to such a bizarre policy… probably because there isn’t any such policy.

“That’s insane,” a source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop regarding the supposed stylist rule.

As for why Spears has had a number of different hairdressers over the years, our insider points out that the pop star’s demanding schedule often means that a previously used stylist is unavailable, leading to a session with someone new she likes, and that the cycle just repeats.

Sounds like this rumor is shear nonsense.

Claim: Britney Pressuring Jason Trawick About Marriage

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

“Britney Spears is letting her emotions run away with her!” begins a Showbiz Spy post.

Uh, huh…

The site goes on to explain, “Sources say the troubled singer — who has been married twice before — is pestering boyfriend Jason Trawick to walk her down the aisle!”

A so-called Showbiz Spy “source” claims, “She keeps bugging him about marriage and he’s finding it annoying.”

Equally annoying are stories that aren’t fact-checked.

A source close to the singer confirms to Gossip Cop that the story is absolutely “untrue” and everything remains the status quo.

Guess Showbiz Spy just let its “emotions run away.”

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.

Putting Britney’s Starbucks Restroom Rumor to Rest

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

Britney Spears seems to be at the center of a hairy situation.

The new issue of Star magazine claims the pop singer left more than a tip at her local Starbucks in Calabasas, CA.

“She must have been messing with her hair, because a staffer went [into the restroom] right after Britney and found a long blonde clip-in hair extension,” a source told the magazine. The “source” adds, “She’s done this before. It really grosses out the staff.”

A rep for Spears told Gossip Cop there is no truth to the story.

Since the magazine so often gets the “big” things about Spears wrong — claiming she was pregnant; insisting she was planning a wedding; reporting on a supposed bodyguard fling — it’s no surprise its Starbucks story is off by more than a hair.

CLAIM: Britney Has ‘Gay Crush’

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

In a National Enquirer “exclusive,” the magazine claims, Britney Spears “has a crush on her female psychologist.”

According to one of the supermarket tab’s sources, “Britney was interested in her [female] doctor sexually… And she actually thought the doctor was interested in her also… Britney mistook the doctor’s patience and kindness for flirtation.”

Seriously?

In early February, alleges the Enquirer, Spears made “numerous harassing calls to her office,” which “disturbed” the psychologist.

That’s when the pop singer’s dad, Jamie Spears, stepped in because of possible legal ramifications, says the mag.

But Spears, claims the Enquirer, supposedly explained to her father that he should be happy, because her money would be safe if she’s with “a successful woman,” and there would be no need to worry about her “remarrying or having kids anytime soon,” two things the tab says he’s been “terrified” of.

Here’s what’s terrifying – this story.

Gossip Cop reached out to one of our impeccable Spears contacts, who called the Enquirer’s story both “ridiculous” and “nutso.”

Tabloid Dials Up Wrong Britney Spears Phone Rumor

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

It’s generally not a good sign when you’re rehashing a story the crack journalists over at X17Online conjured from thin air.

Us Weekly claims Jason Trawick “got the shock of his life” when he dialed a number in girlfriend Britney Spears‘ cellphone and reached her old paparazzo beau Adnan Ghalib.

“Multiple sources” tell the magazine that Spears has been privately contacting Ghalib, who’s been ordered by a court to keep his distance from the pop queen.

Why the covert conversations? Us Weekly claims Spears needs to “vent” about her anguish under father Jamie Spears‘ legal conservatorship, which she allegedly compares to prison. “She’s miserable under her parents’ control,” says a so-called “insider,” who adds, “As crazy as it sounds, she really wants to get back together with Adnan.”

Maybe it “sounds” crazy because it is.

Back in February, X17 tried to float similarly untrue rumors that Spears wanted to “leave Jason for the real love of her life… Adnan,” and that “she’s still in contact with him.” Amusingly, the site called the news of secret calls to Ghalib – which it invented — ”a shocker!”

Us Weekly’s attempts to revive the Ghalib rumor are no less shocking — or inaccurate.

A source close to Spears calls the mag’s claim “absurd” and swears to Gossip Cop that the performer “doesn’t talk to Adnan.”

Busting Britney Spears Bodyguard Romance Rumor

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

“Revenge is sweet — just ask Britney Spears!” announces Star magazine, which rarely seems to consider reality quite as “sweet” as scandal.

According to the tab, the pop queen discovered that boyfriend Jason Trawick has been allegedly having an affair with a former assistant named Jessica Steindorff, so she’s getting “payback” by getting close with her bodyguard, Ryan.

(For the record, Trawick is not with Steindorff.)

“They’ve been flirting and acting like a couple,” a Star “insider” claims.

Adds a so-called “friend,” Spears “has trouble breaking up with a guy when the next one isn’t already waiting in the wings,” and “it looks like she’s getting retaliation on Jason and getting her next man at the same time!”

Star catalogues a few times Spears and Ryan have been seen together in public, failing to acknowledge that it’s fairly typical for bodyguards to be near the people they protect.

When it comes down to it, the tabloid can’t even convince itself Spears is getting romantic with Ryan, lamely admitting that she and Trawick still seem to be together.

“She may go out with Jason for appearance’s sake, but she’s caring about him less and less,” the Star insider explains, “Now it’s all about Ryan!”

Here the tab revisits the time honored practice of telling readers that what they see is actually only a mirage.

Only it’s not. It’s exactly what it appears to be.

A source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop, “She’s with Jason.”

Back in December, Star claimed Spears was pregnant. She was not.

Then the tab said she was already planning wedding choreography with Trawick. Nope, not true.

In April, according to Star, her relationship was supposedly “volatile.” Two months later, they’re still together.

At some point, Star should consider getting revenge on its “sources.”

CLAIM: Britney Spears & Jason Trawick in ‘Fake Relationship’

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

Sometimes X17Online’s stories make us shake our heads so much, we end up with whiplash.

Today, we may have to get a neck brace after reading a post titled, “Britney And Jason Flaunt Their Fake Relationship In Santa Barbara.”

Try to follow this one, if you can, about Britney Spears and Jason Trawick.

According to one of X17’s photogs, “Britney and Jason are totally fake… This trip [to Santa Barbara] seems like an attempt for Jason to salvage whatever type of relationship these two have with each other because everyone’s reporting that they’ve broken up. Thing is … they were never really together!”

(1) If they wanted to “fake” a relationship, why would they haul out to Santa Barbara, where there’s a chance there may not have been photographers, when they could have easily gone to a paparazzi-infested place in L.A. like The Ivy?

(2) If their coupling is “fake” and “they were never really together,” as the X17 photog claims, then why would Trawick even need to “salvage” their relationship?

But here’s our favorite part: X17 suggests that the pressure of pretending their relationship is real is taking a toll on them. The site notes that as they left what was actually a romantic getaway, Trawick didn’t look good “with wild unkempt hair and circles under his eyes as if he were up all night.”

Uh, might we suggest that if the two were up all night, things are going real well between them?

Regardless, a source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop, the X17 tale is “Absurd! Their relationship is very real and they are together.”

Gossip Cop would like to suggest that the photographers at X17 either go to eye doctors or psychiatrists because they seem to see things that no one else does, like the time they reported Jennifer Aniston was at the same party as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie when she was nowhere near that event.
