J.R. Rotem's Text Messages in Britney Spears Pregnancy Story Are "Faked"
Friday November 30, 2007

A source close toBritney Spears' former producer (and ex) J.R. Rotem tells Usmagazine.com the text messages In Touch Weekly claims to have received are “faked."

A day after both Rotem and Spears pal Sam Lutfi issued statements firmly denying the cover story— which claimed Spears was carrying Rotem's child — a rep for the tabloid released alleged text messages from Rotem, in which he said, "Yes, it's true."

Besides the obvious inconsistencies in the story — women do not get ultrasounds when they're only four weeks pregnant — text messages are easy to manipulate (as The Huffington Post shows here).

“In Touch is trying to cover themselves up,” a source explained to Usmagazine.com. On Wednesday, Rotem released the following statement to Us: “There is absolutely no truth to this.”

In a text message toRyan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show in L.A. Wednesday, Lutfi also debunked the story, calling it "BS. Don't know who made it up. J.R. doesn't even know what's up. It's fake. Completely fake."

Good thing Spears isn't expecting. For a look at her scarier parenting moments, click here.
