Britney Spears Rejects Justin Timberlake
Britney! Why can't you just get it together and do one thing that might help you revive your career?
Page Six says that Britney Spears backed out of recording a new song with former flame Justin Timberlake and uberproducer Timbaland. A music industry source said Justin wrote the duet specifically for Brit, and though they wouldn't actually record together in the studio, his voice would have been mixed with hers later.
"Timbaland set aside a week out of his crazy schedule to do this -- and then, just before she was supposed to fly out, Britney abruptly canceled the session and refused to do the song", said the source. "It's crazy. She's looking for a comeback, and this would have not only been a huge hit, but something she could have opened the MTV Video Awards with and really blown everyone away."
Brit's label, Jive Records, is said to be very worried by the fallen pop star's decision to pull out of what could have put her back on the map. "Listen, everyone is worried. In her mind, her album is done and she's done enough work... She's an easy target right now, because she's... sick. People like her are sick. It's like an anorexic who's sick in the head and needs help. She needs help. It's sad because what she's got -- and we've heard it's like bipolar disorder -- can easily be treated with medication, but she won't do it."
I know I'm deluded, but I still dream of a Britney/Justin reconciliation. They were just so cute together. I'm sad, I know.
