Britney Spears Thwarts K-Fed's Attempt to Sell Pregnancy Scoop


Many fans and pundits were certain that Britney Spears was pregnant long before she went on David Letterman and announced it to the world. But she wasn't even scheduled for a spot with Dave that night. So - the curious wanted to know - why then and why with such short notice?

Jefferson Reid points out Us Weekly's cover story that says K-Fed was trying to sell the scoop of Brit's pregnancy for cash.

Brit reportedly thwarted that effort with her appearance.

He details that as part of the mag's blowout story about the former pop star laying down the law to her would-be rapper hubby, they spill why Britney dropped the baby bomb on Letterman.

It seems K-Fed was in the midst of trying to "broker a lucrative deal to leak information to a news outlet about the pregnancy" until Britney scooped him on Dave.

She reportedly did so to show Kevin who's boss and to tighten the purse strings. The mag's source says Spears "is happy she just came out about the baby. Kevin didn't make any money on it, and I'm sure he is pissed."

The inevitable snarky comment - sounds like Brit could be singing a new tune: "Not a Divorcée, Not Yet Legally Separated."

She may not perform anymore - but it appears there is never a dull moment in the life of Britney.

  2. You know what I think is odd.... there have been absolutely no photos of them together since she announced the pregnancy.

    I know. But she is wise to stay away from him. He's such bad news. Can you imagine he was trying to make money off of announcing his wife's pregnancy? That is gross. She is so much better off without him. She slid downhill so quickly once they hooked up. I like these pictures of her in the store with SPF because she is actually starting to look a little like her old self. But I would not want to be in her shoes right now. Too much to handle. I'm really starting to feel for the girl.
