Britney Spears and boyfriend Jason Trawick went on vacation to Mexico to celebrate Britney’s 29th birthday. This comes on the heels of the scandal over the most-likely fake recordings of a Britney sound-alike telling her first ex husband, Jason Alexander, that Trawick was abusive. Maybe Britney and Jason had this whole trip planned before the recordings came out, or maybe they did it as a response to that and a sign of togetherness. Either way, they’re using this vacation for as much positive PR as possible. US Weekly has a whole story in their upcoming issue about their romantic getaway, and People had details yesterday. It just seems too heavy-handed to me when it was obvious to most people that those tapes of Britney were fake. She has a lot of fans though and her people want to make it seem like she’s fine after all she went through a couple years ago. Here’s US Weekly’s story:

Days after Star magazine and Radaronline published fake reports about Jason Trawick’s alleged physical abuse of girlfriend Britney Spears, the content pop singer and her beau of nearly two years were a world away from Hollywood: at a private, $5,000 per-night villa in Conchas Chinas, Mexico, as revealed in the new Us Weekly, out now.

The occasion? Spears’ 29th birthday Dec. 2 — and her former agent Trawick, 39, surprised the singer with a red-velvet cake shipped from L.A. and much more.

The happy duo shrugged off the false abuse rumor for their luxe Puerta Vallarta trip. “They did not allow it to get them down,” an insider tells Us.

In fact, Spears tells Us exclusively: “My birthday weekend away with Jason was amazing. Best birthday of my life!”

Yeah, we get it, they’re doing great and all. I’d be more likely to believe it if they went to Mexico and we weren’t privy to the details afterwards.

Meanwhile Britney went to a Walmart in LA with her bodyguard yesterday. She was dressed appropriately in a low cut silk top with a leopard print bra that was only partially visible. Her hair and makeup also looked decent and she looked thrilled to be out shopping. She’d do much more to further her image if she’d look as put together and happy as this on most outings.
