Last week news was doing the rounds that pop star Britney Spears was beaten up by her boyfriend, Jason Trawick. Someone even reported that he’d seen BS with a black eye. Well, when looking at her record, you tended to go with the reports. Not true, though. Britney S. has come out with a statement on Twitter suggesting nothing of that sort had happened and she’s off to some cool place to celebrate her birthday with Jason T. She also wrote a comment that suggested she’s super upset with the magazines that spread such rumours.

Well, gal, that’s showbiz for you. You reap as you show, I mean sow.
