In Touch Rings Out the Year With Another Fake Britney Spears Story

Truth rating: 1

Rumors of Britney Spears pressuring Jason Trawick to marry her have swirled for months, but In Touch takes things to a whole new level this week, describing the pop star as “moving full-steam ahead with her new mission — getting Jason to propose to her before the year is through.”

According to the magazine, Spears was in several Beverly Hills jewelry stores on December 9, “looking at engagement rings all by herself.” A “determined” Spears is aiming for a “big, traditional wedding in the summer of 2010,” and already has plans to urge Trawick “to cut back on his career.”

Interestingly, In Touch fails to mention by name any of the “several” jewelry stores Spears supposedly visited. Nor do they have any photos of her looking at engagement rings. They do have a photo of Spears in the Lisa Kline boutique on December 9, where she “never once looked up from her BlackBerry.”

Hmm. Casually shopping for clothes while e-mailing and texting… or frantically combing jewelry stores for engagement bling that you’ll force your boyfriend to propose to you with before December 31… it’s all the same to In Touch.

The tab may cling to ring stories, but a source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop the shopping speculation is “not true,” adding, “There is no immediate plan for an engagement.”

    This is kind of a half-hearted debunking, and actually, reading the statement from the source makes it seem like they are not only serious, but that they could end up engaged shortly, depending on what someone’s idea of ‘immediate,’ is — it might be next week, for the source, but 3 weeks from now they could be engaged. I’m MORE inclined to believe she is engaged AFTER reading your item. LOL Again, just weighing in with your opinion won’t cut it. You do best moving this up to at least a rating of 4 on the truth scale after that quote you got.

    I don’t think they’re saying she won’t get engaged. They’re just saying that she didn’t buy herself or look for a ring. They seem to have pretty good Britney sources. And I agree. I think GC knows something and only refuted the ring buying, but not a future engagement. My two cents.
