BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Pop singer
Justin Timberlake has refused to duet with his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears at
the MTV Video Music Awards, media reported Wednesday.
The troubled singer is to debut her comeback single
at the awards ceremony on Sept. 9 and is also rumored to be teaming up with her
ex-boyfriend.
But a source close to Timberlake told Us Weekly magazine:
"That's totally, patently false."
Britney, 25, experienced a meltdown earlier this year
following her divorce from Kevin Federline.
Britney showed off her upcoming awards performance --
in which she has collaborated with Las Vegas illusionist Criss Angel -- to MTV
bosses on Aug. 27.
"She's planning it to be a big comeback performance
and she wants it to be shocking." a source told the media.
Singer-songwriter Ne-Yo revealed that he has written
material for Britney's fifth album, which is to be released next month, but lost
touch with her after she went into rehab.
"Her new music is definitely up-tempo. She's got to
remind people why they love her in the first place. She's got to get their minds
off her personal life and back on the music." Ne-Yo said.
"I wrote six to eight songs for Britney Spears,
working really closely with her people. Then she goes and shaves her head and
goes into rehab - and when that happened I lost all contact with her and the
people at her label."
"I think it's possible she can make a comeback. I
heard a lot of the music. I definitely think she can do it."
