Britney Spears is NOT Pregnant, Says Rep

A spokesperson for pop star Britney Spears has slammed rumours of a secret pregnancy, stating that the Gimme More singer is not carrying a third child.

“I want to make completely clear that Britney is not pregnant,” Spears’ rep said. “There’s not going to be a statement – she’s just not.”

A friend of Spears’ has also come forward denying the claims made by the press, explaining that the apparent appearance of a baby bump is nothing more than excess “water” and “unflattering clothes.”

“It’s a mix of water retention, unflattering clothes and people liking to analyse everything she does,” the friend said. “Britney’s getting herself together slowly but surely and isn’t going to mess that up.”

Added the friend: “She’s far too busy to even be thinking about a baby right now.”

Rumours of a secret pregnancy began circling the web after the 26-year-old was snapped by the paparazzi with what looked like a swollen stomach. Later that same week, the singer spent two hours in a health clinic, which only managed to further fuel the pregnancy rumours.
