Britney Spears Comments On Luke Walton Rumors
Stop the presses. Britney Spears cleared up any rumors Wednesday that she's got a crush on Los Angeles Lakers forward Luke Walton, 27, whom the singer had dubbed "cute" in 2004.
Britney Spears communicated to inquiring paparazzi that it is her cousin, Alli, who has the crush on the 6-foot-8 son of NBA legend Bill Walton.
The issue was cleared up when the cleaner and leaner star nodded as Alli told photographers that she is the gal with the hots for Walton, and it was she who dragged the recently rehabbed pop star to three Laker games in just over a week.
Bummer for Alli: A Lakers rep confirms that Walton is taken. Lame!Â
Spears, 25, has been spending a lot of time with her cousin since returning from her weekend retreat in Las Vegas. The two hit the Epitome Salon in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, with Spears stripping down to a white bikini (oooooga) for a tanning session.
Then the pair then drove all over town, blasting Nelly Furtado CDs on their stereo, sipping Starbucks and shopping for kids' clothes for Spears' sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
When a nearby photographer asked Britney Spears when he could hear her new album, she responded with a smile and, in an apparent joke, said:
"I think I might be quitting!"
Hopefully she's kidding. But her mood grew more thoughtful when another member of the press (seconding an opinion offered by her ex, Justin Timberlake) told Britney that she's "doing great" since getting out of rehab.
She got teary and said, "Thank you, I love you."
Aww. She's so cute. An onlooker commented, "You could tell that words of support really mean a lot to her right now."
You know who else does? Howie Day. What a wonderful, sensitive crooner.

Borrowing yet another page from the Madonna play book, Britney Spears has reportedly begun her own record label--Enslaved Records.
Owned by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Britney's label is in negotiations to sign its first act.
Hoping to equal the success of Maverick Record's first cash cow, Alanis Morisette,
Britney's label is in negotiations with a New York based hard rock band called MEAN VENUS.
Britney allegedly encountered MEAN VENUS mid-set some months ago at NJ's legendary Stone Pony
(the historic rock club where the likes of Bruce Springsteen cut his teeth)
and offered the MEAN VENUS boys a deal on the spot.
MEAN VENUS' lead singer (who goes merely by the initial, J)
has also been rumoured to be involved with Mrs. Spears in a more than professional capacity as well.
The MEAN VENUS buzz began with the rumour that lead singer, J, was none other than the illegitimate son of Led zeppelin's very own Robert Plant
and that the unsigned band would be opening for the long awaited reunion tour commencing summer 2008.

Looks like more bad news for Britney: A feeding frenzy of sorts has begun to unravel the tentative record deal that Britney's new label--Enslaved Records--was putting together. The hard rockin' band--MEAN VENUS--out of New York City was soon to be the first act signed to Britney's fledgling label when word of the pending deal leaked out and caught the attention of at least three other major labels. All three labels have reportedly made offers to MEAN VENUS causing Enslaved to consider upping their ante...
