Spears Shoots Down Pregnancy Report

E! Online, Nov 28, 2007 8:00 am PST
Oops, the tabloids did it again.

Britney Spears' camp is lashing out at a published report that the "Gimme More" singer is expecting baby number three, supposedly with music producer and entourage member J.R. Rotem.

In a text message Wednesday to E! News anchor Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show (hear the exchange right here), Spears confidant Sam Lufti refutes the new In Touch Weekly cover story claiming the singer is four weeks along with Rotem's spawn.

"It's B.S.," Lufti, a self-styled movie producer and Spears' unofficial mouthpiece, texted to Seacrest just after 7:30 a.m., as he and Spears were driving back from her all-night "Piece of Me" video shoot at Social Hollywood.

"Don't know who made it up. J.R. doesn't even know what's up. It's fake. Completely fake. We just wrapped her video. Going home to sleep."

After a failed attempt to get Lufti on the phone to further set the record straight, Seacrest got another text message.

"Sorry can't answer, we're dodging paps," Lufti wrote. "They're trying to kill us, otherwise I'd talk."

According to In Touch, Spears allegedly emailed pals on Nov. 14 with not only news of an impending stork delivery but ultrasound to boot. The magazine also claims Rotem confirmed the pregnancy to them and quotes him as saying, "It's true."

Spears already has two children with ex-hubby Kevin Federline and has been embroiled in a headline-grabbing custody battle over the tots for the better part of the year.

The pregnancy rumor is the second time in as many weeks Spears has had to set the brood-expanding record straight. Last week, a source close to the singer denied to E! News British tabloid reports that she was looking to adopt Chinese twins.
