Spears Lashes
Out Over Pregnancy Rumors
Mar 31, 2:28 PM EST
Tired of pregnancy reports, Britney Spears is lashing out at tabloid magazines. "Do you, Us Weekly, In Touch, Star and
other desperate magazines want employees who are honest, or those who are liars?" Spears writes in a posting on her Web site
addressed "Dear False Tabloids."
Rumors have recently swirled that the 23-year-old pop star is pregnant and that her marriage to Kevin Federline is on the
rocks. Spears didn't specifically address either issue, but instead asked magazines for some self-examination.
"Your employees are a reflection of your magazine," she writes in Wednesday's posting. "I'm really concerned about the
people you hire to work at your companies.
"I'd like them to ask themselves the question, `What am I lying to myself about?' Is it that you are 50 pounds overweight?
Is it that your children aren't making wise decisions? Or is it maybe that your husband or boyfriend is cheating on you?"
In February, Spears lamented Us Weekly's decision to publish pictures of her and Federline taken by employees at a Fiji
islands hotel during the couple's October honeymoon.
But Us Weekly didn't back down. The magazine issued a statement saying, "Britney Spears should start a magazine if she'd
like to dictate her own coverage."
In her posting, Spears added this P.S. — "People Magazine is great in my book!"

Britney Spears writes letter to tabloids
By Kate Lanahan
RELATED ENTRIES
Britney Spears has had it up to here with the tabloids. Can you blame her? Since entering the spotlight she's had to deal
with innumerable rumors about her, including speculation that she has had a breast enlargement, cheated on Justin Timberlake,
hates Christina Aguilera, takes diet pills, and is pregnant. Perhaps today's item in Page Six, which alleges that her husband,
Kevin Federline was hooking up with a Las Vegas escort this past weekend, put her over the edge. In any case, she's fighting
back by issuing a harsh letter to magazines like In Touch, US Weekly and Star on her website.
Read the letter after the jump.
Dear False Tabloids,
As you read this letter, I bet you are asking yourself: Who? Who, me? Am I a false tabloid? Well, I don't know. But after
this posting, I hope you are asking yourself a lot of questions. Your employees are a reflection of your magazine. Do you,
Us Weekly, In Touch, Star and other desperate magazines want employees who are honest, or those who are liars? It seems to
me that you'd prefer the latter. I'm really concerned about the people you hire to work at your companies. I'd like them to
ask themselves the question, "What am I lying to myself about?" Is it that you are 50 pounds overweight? Is it that your children
aren't making wise decisions? Or is it maybe that your husband or boyfriend is cheating on you? Until you face what is going
on in your life, I guess you'll remain a false tabloid.
Britney
P.S. People Magazine is great in my book!
