Britney Spears cancels Justin Timberlake duet

According to New York gossip column PageSix, Britney Spears has cancelled a planned duet with Justin Timberlake produced by Timbaland, which was meant to be her comeback single.

Gossip news for you now, with reports claiming that Britney has "sensationally" pulled out of a planned duet with former flame Justin Timberlake.

Allegedly set to be produced by Timbaland, the Timberlake duet was apparently scheduled to be Spears' comeback single and a re-launch for her currently troubled career but, it seems, she was having none of it with New York gossip column, PageSix, announcing the rumour with this statement: "Timbaland set aside a week out of his crazy schedule to do this - and then, just before she was supposed to fly out, Britney abruptly cancelled the session and refused to do the song. It's crazy. She's looking for a comeback, and this would have not only been a huge hit, but something she could have opened the MTV Video Awards with and really blown everyone away".

Representatives for all involved refused to comment, fuelling the already rabid speculation.
