Will the pop star take In Touch to court for saying she's pregnant? Or will she get distracted by an Arby's and then go buy a dozen puppies?




Say what you will about Britney Spears, just don't say she's pregnant. A source tells Ok! that the pop star is so mad over the In Touch cover story that claims she's got a burrito in the fryer that she's willing to go to her least favourite destination--stupid old boring court with its "old fart" judges--to clear her good... well, not good... her not-pregnant name.

The report claimed record producer J.R. Rotem is the father of Britney's third child. The magazine quotes J.R. as saying, "It's true." On Thursday, they released photos of BlackBerry communications from J.R. that back their story up. When asked if she would keep the baby, J.R. texted, "No clue on what she will do. She is unpredictable." In Touch also quotes a friend of J.R.'s who says, "J.R. loves Britney. He wants to marry her." "The story is a complete lie," a Britney source tells Ok!. "She does not even see or talk to J.R., and she hasn't had any dealings with him in months."

In the midst of this Maury-like drama, J.R. has denied the story. "There is absolutely no truth to this," he told Us. But let's relive the lies anyway. According to the report, Britney phoned a friend in hysterics from her frequent hang-out, the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. She said she had just taken a pregnancy test and it came out positive. The story goes on to say Britney emailed her sonogram to several friends telling them she was four weeks pregnant. They even have a friend of Kevin on record offering some dubious congratulations. "All we can say is good luck with that," the K-friend says.

If Britney were to take the mag to court, it would be an unusual move for the attention-seeking star. Britney is usually relaxed about even the most vicious rumour, like when she was reportedly shouting that she was the Anti-Christ (actually, that would explain a lot). Just this week, the News of the World reported she intended to adopt six-year-old twin girls from China, a rumour that came and went without fanfare.

She has only sued for libel once, when Us Weekly ran a story that claimed Britney and Kevin Federline had watched a sex tape of themselves with their lawyers and acted "goofy" during the private screening. The case was thrown out of court because it was successfully argued that Britney Spears' reputation was built on being sexy, and therefore a sex tape is not libelous because it doesn't lower her reputation. She just does that on her own.
