I think we were all able to call B.S. on this rumor from the moment it came out: Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are NOT reuniting for a duet. Some things are just too good to be true. Like lies.
Britney and Justin – together again?
Unfortunately for fans of the former pop couple, it’s not to be, as Access Hollywood has learned that the pair will not be recording a duet for Brit’s upcoming album, contrary to reports.
Justin “is not scheduled to be in the recording studio with Britney,” a rep for the “SexyBack” singer told Access. The pop stars haven’t sung together publicly since they shared a stage with Aerosmith, Nelly and Mary J. Blige at the 2001 Superbowl, during Justin’s N*Sync days.
Britney’s spending her summer in the studio recording a follow-up to last year’s “Blackout.” She’s also been working on her bod, showing off a fit figure in the new issue of OK!

This rumor has been circulating for years – pretty much since the two broke up. And every time Britney either needs someone to “save” her (or her career) or gets things back on track the rumor resurfaces. Justin once angrily asked a paparazzo why he was the one who was always expected to save her, especially considering they’d been broken up for years by the time she had her breakdown. Fair enough.
While it doesn’t sound like they’re mortal enemies anymore, I highly doubt the two will ever be friends again. Apparently Justin gave Britney quite the snub at a Robin Thicke concert recently.
Britney Spears ventured out for a rare night on the town recently – and ended up in the same club as her ex, Justin Timberlake. On Agust 14, Britney hit West Hollywood’s House of Blues for a Robin Thicke concert and spotted her former beau on a date with girlfriend Jessica Biel.
“Britney was smiling and singing along to songs,” a witness says. “She kept eyeing Justin but stopped short of actually walking over to say hello. Justin kept his back to her. She was obviously waiting for him to turn around, but he never did!” Britney even watched the couple while Justin gave Jessica a long kiss on the lips.
Adds the witness, “When the concert was over, Jessica and Justin left together, and Britney exited in the opposite direction.”

I was mostly surprised Justin Timberlake was at a Robin Thicke concert. He’s like the hotter, more talented, lesser-known version of Justin. I assumed there was some sort of dramatic guy rivalry there, but apparently not. And it seems like a Britney Spears rivalry is more than enough for any guy to deal with.
Here’s Britney arriving at Conaway recording studios in Los Angeles with her mother Lynn on Wednesday. Images thanks to WENN.
Given the 50-50 likelihood of this being BS…if it were true (about the concert), I would feel badly for Britney. I seem to recall Timberlake giving some sound bite about Britney last year about being all supportive and hoping she recovers and gets well and blah, blah, blah.
So, IF it’s true that he ignored her, I think that’s pretty low. I mean, nice for him that his life is going so well…how would it hurt him to be kind to someone who has so many problems and is, at least, trying to get herself together. Saying “hi” is not a lifetime committment.
I’m no Justin fan, but even he’s smart enough to steer clear of the weaved one.
Justin Timberlake comes off like a real dink!! I have no idea what people see in him. He is basically impersonates Michael Jackson from back in the 80’s. I just don’t get what people see in him or his music. He is just yuck!!
She’s got so much crazy left in her waiting to come out. Just patiently waiting.
JUSTIN IS A REAL DICK….
HE THINKS HE IS THE SHIT BUT IF NOT FOR TIMBALAND HE AINT SHIT
Britney is a grown woman who is not really supposed to be ANYONE’S responsibility but her own.
Her father’s conservatorship is a win-win for the both of them, I think. But Justin Timberlake shouldn’t feel obligated to say or do anything for her, just because he’s the most famous ex of them all.
This makes me so sad for some reason… I don’t even really care about JT or Brit (other than just generally wanting Brit to get better).
But Brit seems like the mature one at the concert. She was just trying to get his attention to say hello, and JT ignores her? You know what? Justin wouldn’t be anything without his relationship with Brit…he is a douchebag starf–king falsetto freak.
LondonParis-There is a big difference between being responsible for someone and just being kind. As I said before, saying “Hi, how’s it going?” to someone who was once close to you and who is obviously having troubles is just about being a decent person, not taking on their problems.
Beyond that, if Britney is suffering from mental illness or addiction, then it’s unfair to say “she’s a big girl who shouldn’t be anyone’s responsiblity”…she’s a troubled woman who has problems and needs help. Why shouldn’t she-or anyone in her position, famous or not-be helped by those who can?
I think it’s sad that because Britney was/is famous, that that entitles her to LESS consideration than most people would give to an annonymous person on the street. As if having lots of money somehow makes a person less vulnerable to mental problems, drugs, and people who want to take advantage of them.
Just the opposite.
Justin is a major douchebag and he probably thinks he’s too good to do a duet with a has-been like Britney.
Maybe he just didn’t say hi to avoid the awkwardness b/c he was there with a date. I would do it anyway but maybe he thinks there just would be too much drama or pain.
In a nut shell Justin thinks his —- doesn’t stink! HE is the one who hasn’t really moved on or he’d gone over and said hello and intorduced his girl. Justin probably has more inner demons than Britney!! Britney is doing fine, haters. She is going forward. BEST WISHES TO BRITNEY SPEARS!!!
I agree. Lets face it, Justin would not have come this far if he was not involved with Britney at the prime of her career and for him gaining identification and exposure as someone who is more then a member of a cheesy boy band. Of course he again used Britney to further his career some more by taking cheap stabs at her with his Cry me a river music video. He may have had some sole success on his own but most likely he would have faded away similar to all the other boy band members who sought after a career of their own.
Even if this story is not true, from some of his previous interviews, it seems that he is still somewhat bitter towards Britney.
Celebitchy…he was at Robin Thicke stealing song ideas. Duh
If this true, Justin Timberlake is AMAZINGLY rude and arrogant.
If it’s true that the reason they broke up is because she cheated, I wouldn’t say hello to her either. Okay, so she is a woman who is suffering from some issues, she could’ve said “hi” to him.
With that sad, whatever problems she’s suffering from, I hope her the best.
Side note: I think Justin is a douchebag too, but i don’t think he has to say “Hello” to anyone.
I LOVE LOVE Robin Thicke…and I was at that concert too. Didn’t know any celebs were there besides Halle Berry (who he sang Happy Birthday to) though.
I remember a time, around 2001 when I was big time #1 Justin Timberlake fan. I mean, I was young and all, but I’m ashamed. His music is a far cry from original and pales in comparison to Robin Thicke.
But that’s just some personal shit. It’s been scientifically proven that JT is a DOUCHEBAG. So I’m sure that noone, including Britney, was surprised that he didn’t say hello.
I am really starting to dislike Justin Timberlake.
He broke up with her six or seven years ago, and I’m about bored and outright annoyed with his passive aggressive little remarks that are “subtly” directed at Britney Spears. Justin Timberfake is so bent on proving the media that he’s “over Britney”, that he’s become very unlikeable.
I think Britney Spears wants to make peace with him, but apparently he’s too good to let go of a petty grudge.
Quite frankly, I must say, f- him and excuse my French. Arrogant tool. You can understand his behavior if they had JUST broken up, but they haven’t.
Britney Spears may be troubled, but at least she has a soul, and as for Justin Timberlake? For someone who didn’t want any details of the breakup to be released to the public, he’s been milking the attention from breaking up with Britney for all it’s worth.
I’m sure Britney Spears has made mistakes in her life and probably during the relationship, but she genuinely appears to be apologetic whereas Justin Timberlake is acting like a rotten little kid who doesn’t think he’s done anything at all, and I can tell you from personal observation, that the person who won’t admit to making any mistakes is usually the worse person in the situation.
Grow up, Timberflake.
Justin who is Justin he’s not over Britney you can tell by his songs if he broke up with her six/7years ago how come he still have songs which are related back to to the time they were together he is just a blooooody idiot I hope he will read this and get what some of us think of him
I can’t see why Jessica Biel would be seen with someone with a smaller dick than her own.
If I was on a date with my boyfriend and my ex was there, I wouldn’t be giving that person much of my attention either. Nor am I going out of my way to say Hello to them, if they didn’t say it first. So I can understand that situaton.
😀 Musically I don’t really think a duet would sound good with them. I guess people just won’t let it die though
Memo, it’s for publicity.
Every last bit of this jaded victim act is nothing but a cry for attention.
Who cares about Justin Timberlake for whatever insanity Brit displays JT matches her in douche-bagness. They’re both annoying.
he might have just ignored her so to not give the wrong impression to both media, fans and Jessica since if he lets in the slightest glimmer of hope everyone will think their in love again and the rumors would spiral out of control.
