The waited Spears – Timberlake duet proved to be nothing but a bluff. According to reports in the New York Post, the alleged song was going to be produced by Timbaland, the renown hit-maker, the sources claiming that Justin “wrote the duet specifically for Spears”.

The song was expected to be performed in the opening of the MTV Video Music Awards, fans dreaming of the former couple reuniting in a duet. But apparently the troubled Toxic star backed out the last month without much explanation.

On the other hand, a JT source told US website Hollywood Extra that the rumors have never been true, Justin never planned to sing with his former girlfriend. Furthermore, close sources of Britney’s claim that the singer having no thoughts of a duet with Justin.

It is widely recognized that this might have been the opportunity that could ensure the star’s comeback in charts with a long-waited hit, and a surprising one, being with Justin.

Brit’s chaotic behavior is highlighted once more, with rumors that she has dropped her label Jive. If this one proves true, than she will have lost her initial support, the people that have worked with her since her first release. She is the only one responsible for her own success or failure, and only by her hard work she can achieve something.
