On monday the 11th of March it was all over the british press of Britney breaking up with Justin!
Here is an example of what was said:
After a rash of media speculation in recent days that the reigning couple of teen pop had split up, Spears issued a denial on Monday from Germany.
"No, that's not true. Me and Justin did not split up," Spears, 20, told MTV Europe.
According to various newspaper reports, Spears was seen drowning her sorrows at Los Angeles hot spots early last week, with unidentified sources claiming the relationship fell victim to their busy schedules. Her publicist, Lisa Kasteler, did not return a message seeking comment.
Spears, who told Rolling Stone magazine last December that her new year's resolution was to spend more time with Timberlake, has been busy promoting her new movie "Crossroads," and begins a two-month North American tour in May. Timberlake, 21, kicked off an 'N Sync tour last week.
Spears, and curly-haired Timberlake, have known each other since the early 1990s, when they were both in the cast of "The Mickey Mouse Club." They rekindled their friendship a few years later, and became an "item" in September 2000 after they turned up together at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.
The first couple of teen pop has sold millions of records and played to arenas packed with screaming pre-teen fans. But with the mania subsiding, Spears has started diversifying.
She made her feature acting debut last month in "Crossroads," a road movie in which she plays a high school valedictorian who loses her virginity to a mysterious bad boy. The kissing scenes reportedly disturbed Timberlake, although he made light of them while helping Spears promote the film. (Spears, in turn, was reportedly upset when Timberlake kissed a girl for an 'N Sync video.)

Then on Tuesday it was all denied!
MILAN, Italy - Singer Britney Spears denies rumors that she and long-time boyfriend and 'N Sync member Justin Timberlake are breaking up.
"No, that's not true. Me and Justin did not split up," she tells MTV Europe.
Rumors of the breakup seem to have started in Europe where Spears is promoting her new film "Crossroads." She was also apparently seen crying at a cafe in Los Angeles.
But still something seems wrong.

Then on Wednesday the 13th. This was reported. Seems a girl can't have a good cry anymore without rumors running wild.
<br>While Britney Spears may have plenty to be upset about, her recent sob session with actress friend Tara Reid wasn't due to breaking up with boyfriend and 'NSYNC (news - web sites) singer Justin Timberlake, because the split didn't happen — despite widespread reports from the BBC, the New York Post and various British tabloids.
Spears emphatically denied the reports to MTV Italy on Monday (March 11), saying, "No, that's not true. Me and Justin did not split up."
The breakup rumors appear to have spread rapidly in Europe based on a comment Spears made at a press conference she gave in Cologne, Germany, on Friday. In town to promote her big-screen debut, "Crossroads" — called "Not A Girl" in Germany — she told reporters that she and Timberlake hardly get to see each other due to their hectic schedules and "work commitments." Not an uncommon complaint, but it sparked more speculation than usual, since Spears had been spotted having a public cry at Les Deux Café in Hollywood with Reid earlier that week.
More reports surfaced that Spears had been seen crying at other Hollywood hot spots, such as the Standard, and that she had stopped wearing a diamond friendship ring Timberlake had given her last summer. Tabloids fed the rumors, quoting unnamed sources said to be close to the couple, who claimed that they were unhappy with all the inquiries into their private life and that each was jealous of the other's screen kisses and love scenes. For Timberlake, that would be his liplock with the brunette in the "Gone" video.
In the February issue of Cosmopolitan, Spears said Timberlake's video kiss "devastated" her: "You could have just taken a knife and stabbed me. ... I stormed into the bathroom. I was like, 'Don't talk to me for a second. I need a moment, please.' It was just too much for me." Likewise, Timberlake was said to be miffed at Spears' kissing scenes with French model Bryce Durand in her Herb Ritts-directed video, "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know," and with actor Anson Mount in "Crossroads."
Spears said that despite initial pangs of jealousy, they each realize that whatever happens on screen is no reflection of their relationship. "That's a part of what we do," Spears told The Associated Press. "And I accept that ... it's just acting."So what is going on with their relationship?  |

It is said they are still a couple.
They say definitely so, despite rampant rumors to the contrary. In an exclusive statement Tuesday to USA TODAY, the star couple's spokeswoman said, ''They love each other very much and have not broken up.''
The statement flies in the face of this week's Us Weekly cover, headlined ''It's Over,'' which has unnamed friends explaining why they split after three years.
But spokeswoman Lisa Kasteler said, ''To set it straight, both of them are very busy and focusing on their careers. . . . The demands on their time have naturally created a significant time apart, which could be misconstrued as a more permanent situation. As for spottings in clubs, they are both young and like to dance.''
A New York Post photo Tuesday showed Timberlake, 21, lunching with a purported new woman. Kasteler scotched that: It's his agent, Shani Rosenzweig. Spears, 20, has been promoting her Crossroads movie in Europe, where she has denied the breakup. Her beau is on tour with 'N Sync and has been reported kissing a brunette at a restaurant and dirty dancing with her at a Hollywood club. Spears has been spotted club dancing, minus Timberlake, and crying at an L.A. cafe.
Us, out Friday, quotes a source saying, ''They tend to do that break-up/make-up thing, but not this time. They're done.'' Says another, ''They fight a lot, they are very passionate people.'' And another source says Spears is devastated: ''She loves Justin so much.'' The Post scooped the alleged breakup this month, saying Timberlake had broken it off after the Grammys in a phone call from the road to his onetime Mickey Mouse Club partner.

But it continues... Are they still a couple?
Well, it depends on who you ask these days. While on a European promotional tour for her Crossroads feature-film debut earlier this month, Spears publicly and repeatedly said that breakup rumors were not true, but rumblings about the status of her relationship continue to make headlines worldwide.
Spears's spokeswoman Lisa Kasteler released a statement on Wednesday (March 20) in an attempt to clarify the couple's current status. "To set the record straight, both of them are very busy and focusing on their careers. They love each other very much and have not broken up. The demands on their time have naturally created a significant time apart, which could be misconstrued as a more permanent situation." Of reports that Timberlake was spotted dancing in nightclubs without Spears by his side, the statement explains that "they are both young and like to dance."
The relationship story has even found its way on to the cover of the new issue of Us Weekly, due out today (March 22), which boldly states in its cover headline: "It's Over." The magazine quotes several unnamed sources who claim to be close to *NSYNC. One "friend" said, ''They tend to do that break-up/make-up thing, but not this time. They're done.''
On Tuesday (March 19), the New York Post ran a photo of Timberlake with his so-called new woman, but that report was quickly shot down when it was revealed that the woman in question was actually his agent, Shani Rosenzweig.
Spears's mother Lynne Spears has even chimed in about the relentless stories concerning her daughter's love life. Lynne writes on the singer's official website, "These reporters need to be more consistent. Who can keep track? According to them, one week Britney is dating the Prince of Wales, the next week she's engaged to Justin and this week, the rumor mill has her and Justin broken up. I've wasted enough time on those silly little people. In other words, don't waste your time and money on their fiction and sometimes science-fiction tales. I'm even starting to doubt the 'real' news these days."

Well the couple have today issued this statement. <br>"To set it straight, both of them are very busy and focusing on their careers," read the statement, which was issued Wednesday (March 20). "They love each other very much and have not broken up. The demands on their time have naturally created a significant time apart, which could be misconstrued as a more permanent situation."
Spears herself shot down the breakup rumors in an interview with MTV Italy over a week ago (see), but the rumor mill has continued to churn.
Reports pop up almost daily in the New York tabloids with eyewitness accounts of the two dancing with prospective new significant others. Even Us Weekly is giving the story credence, putting the headline "It's Over" on the cover of the magazine's issue out this Friday (March 22). Citing unnamed friends who claim to be close to 'NSYNC, Us Weekly reports that the power-pop couple are quite combative, breaking up often only to make up later, "but not this time. They're done."
"As for spottings in clubs, [we] are both young and like to dance," Spears and Timberlake said via their statement.
One of the reports that purported to prove that Timberlake was courting new prospects was also debunked: Though the New York Post ran a photo depicting Timberlake lunching with another woman, she turned out to be his agent, Shani Rosenzweig.
What do you think of the Britney/Justin situation? |
