Rotem denies Spears pregnancy reports

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Music producer J.R. Rotem denies reports that troubled U.S. pop star Britney Spears is pregnant with his baby, it was reported Wednesday.

"There is absolutely no truth to this," he told People magazine.

In Touch Weekly claimed Spears e-mailed pals Nov. 14, saying she was four weeks pregnant with Rotem's child. In Touch said Rotem confirmed Spears is expecting.

The Star also cited multiple sources as saying the singer is pregnant with her third child.

But Spears' friend, Sam Lufti, sent a text message to Ryan Seacrest, which Seacrest read on his KIIS-FM Los Angeles radio show Wednesday, slamming the reports.

"It's BS. Don't know who made it up. J.R. doesn't even know what's up. It's fake. Completely fake. We just wrapped her video. Going home to sleep," Seacrest quoted the message as saying.

Spears is embroiled in a high-profile battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline for custody of their two toddler sons.
