Wait, not everything we read about Britney Spears is true??

Britney Spears isn’t pregnant. Britney Spears isn’t joining the ‘Sex and the City’ cast. And Britney Spears isn’t recording a beyond-the-grave duet with Michael Jackson.
‘The Year in BS’ report -- hey, those are her initials -- chronicles 75 Britney stories this year (out of 13,000) that the singer’s camp deemed the most absurd, because, according to her website, ‘they were factually inaccurate, because they reported the patently absurd, or because we believe they are simply offensive to the sensibilities.’
We especially like that last category, and believe that the story about the alleged hissy fit over a stripper pole, or lack thereof, is a great illustration of the concept.
Perhaps Gossip Cop was the inspiration?
Also, an aside to Reuters: Britney Spears and Brittany Murphy? Two entirely different people.
Stay classy.
