Contrary to a report in today's Page Six column, Britney Spears has not canceled plans to record a duet with ex Justin Timberlake. In fact, a source close to Brit tells Usmagazine.com that no such plan ever existed!
According to the source, "There have been absolutely no plans for Britney and Justin to record a duet together."
The source continues, "There have been lots of discussions about who Britney is working with and Justin has not been one of them. Nothing with Justin was ever even discussed. Justin has had no time to do it between planning his HBO special, his own Video Music Award stuff and working with Madonna anyway."
Meanwhile, the source also clarifies Page Six claims about Spears' record label, Jive, and their concerns about Brit's actions. "Jive is still supportive of Britney and has no doubt she will deliver when the time comes. They are invested in her but obviously a little nervous for the performance because nobody exactly knows what she is going to do. But she is working feverishly to pull it off. [Jive] just can't wait until they have music to play for people to show them what Britney has actually done."
While we're curious as to how snuggling up with magician Criss Angel signifies Spears "working feverishly," you can count us among the people who plan to tune in for the MTV Video Music Awards on September 9 to see just what the fading pop-star has planned.
